Off to Brazil

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Right I have been back in the UK for 3 weeks now and now I am starting to feel normal after 9 months of being away from what I called “home”.I have so much on my mind at the moment from deciding where to work and where to live, I have so many options that I cannot decide but I hope I choose the right option. All I can say is that I am enjoying my life away from the money laundering club that was so badly organised “The Wall” in Shanghai. This weekend I am helping my friends out at the underground venue “the Rainbow” in Birmingham, then as of Tuesday I will be in Brazil touring the fuck out the place which I am heavily looking forward too. The last couple of weeks have seen me in the studio in Leeds with Mark Maitland and we made a monster techno track called “a night of Debauchery” which is getting awesome reactions already “check it on MySpace”. Right I will keep you up to date with my Brazilian tour, till then x

Leeding the way!

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Last week I cancelled my gigs in Ibiza as it was not cost effective so I ended up in Leeds and utilized my time in a constructive but messy time.Friday I jumped into the studio with up & coming star Mark Maitland, we started a monster techy track and we have named it “A night of Debauchery”, after that we went for some dinner then back to my mates to play whose line is it anyway?Fucking half eight in the morning and I am still trying to get to sleep on my mates sofa.One pm comes round and I am gathering myself together feeling rather bunged up as if my hay fever had kicked in nicely.I arrive at the studio a couple hours later feeling rather hazy, but the track had to be finished, after a few hours we made a beast but guess what, the fucking Mac crashed and we fucking lost the whole session “fucking wounded”, never the less we have got there near enough and I am pretty happy with the results for or first collaboration.Check it out on my space. 

Back in UK for a week!

img_0002.jpgWell I am back in the UK for a short while, I got off the plane to be greeted by typical English weather “rain” but in a strange way its nice to be back as I was away for so long, with 7 months in Shanghai and 2 months in Ibiza no wonder I am home sick, and of course I am in need of some serious dettox. I didn’t tell my house mate I was coming back till I landed in Birmingham as it was last minute that I decided that I was coming back, anyway it was fucking awesome seeing my dogs and being surrounded by my creature comforts though it seems strange that I cannot just get on the phone and ring my mother to drop some of her bad ass food off that I took for granted in all my years. These few days will fly by and no doubt it will be time again to go on my travels , but this weekend I am starting off at B1 at a club called Chic in Birmingham which my mate Alex Schmitz runs and he blagged my ass to play, then Saturday I am venturing down to my uncles club “Funk Buddha” in London to talk about my new venture there, then Sunday I am venturing up to Leeds to get some studio action with tech wizard “Mark Maitland”, then the following Thursday I will be flying back to Ibiza to play at Kidology & Kinky Malinki at El Divino, then after that I have an underground party called Mi mo  at Guarnas, then to Es Vive for some after party action after, then on the Saturday sees me doing the Ibiza residents party at Es Paradise, then on the following Monday I am doing Sunglasses at night at Hush. After this little stint I will fly back to UK to prepare for my South America tour, but more on that later! 

Coming back for a week

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

If Heaven is on earth then I certainly have met quite a few angels here in Ibiza, I am at the moment smoking an Amsterdam cigarette on the terrace of pimp villa which I have been stopping in for the last week as I have been villa hoping between Matt Caseli’s villa and this one for which I am forever grateful I have hooked up with some awesome people here on the island from all of the corners of the globe, some old friends some new, all I can say is that these last few days especially have made me open my eyes even more to this crazy industry that I work in, I am just trying to enjoy life the way I know how but these past few days have been excessive. Wednesday day we went the Garlands boat party which was packed full with a full on party crowd, then after that we ventured down to Plastic where I played the last hour, then after that my mate Leo and I went to meet our friends Becca & Jenny at work at a strip joint called Sin down the errrrm West End, then by then I was feeling very ropey indeed and we all went back to the villa where I was sick and was getting pestered by the boys & girls to getup and get in the pool but could I fuck move. Right last night we all went down to Pacha as Matt was playing, the club was ridiculously rammed, but with an awesome crowd, in the funky room is where all our friends meet n have a groove and last night was no different in there included my old colleagues’ Jim Shaft Ryan & Lee Garrick from Miss Moneypennys, my new porn star mates, my mate Leo, and Matt Caseli obviously. Tonight for old time sake I am playing back to back with my old mentor Jim Shaft Ryan at El Divino which I am looking forward to very much as it feels like along time since we have played together and when we do we fucking rock.I am coming back to the UK tomorrow for a week or so to see my friends and my dogs, and to visit my parent’s graves as I have not even seen my mothers yet as I have been away in Shanghai for the winter. I will be back in Ibiza to do Sunglasses at night Monday 14th July at Hush in errrrm the West End, then on Thursday I am playing at Kidology v Kinky Malinki at El Divino, then after that I am playing at an underground night called Mi mo at Guarnas which I am looking forward too, the on the Saturday I am at Es Paradise for the Ibiza residents party. Right slackers more chatting shit later, peace x
