Pete Tong & Ken Fan Gatecrasher Opening!

 

I was very excited to play at this big event but I was slightly dissapointed,the club was looking awesome and there was an overwhelming turn out even though a lot of my personal friends did not get in.

I think Birmingam generally has a very commercial night life and to be honest my sound now is far from commercial.

 

I played after Pete Tong and to me he played ok,he played an Ableton Live set which was a combination of Tech house to some melodic trancey house but basically what he plays on his Radio 1 show.

 

Next Saturday I am at Storm in Southend which is normally I good night out and the crowd are normally quite an up for it beautiful crowd!

 

Ken Fans Schedule:from Belo Horizonte,Salvador,Madrid,London then to Birmingham!

Hello guys,

 

I am now in my 5th week here in Brazil and I leave next as we speak as I am in the airport yet again to come back to the UK, my stay here has been awesome amd I have truly met some awesome people and I have made some good friends, last week there was supposed to be a festival on but due to bad weather the event was cancelled to this weekend which is tonight, therefore the club here in Belo Horizontze “The Deputamadre” held a lock out party in its place and this is where Gaz James and I struck lightning twice as we both played back to back and tore the roof off like the week before.

 

 

For the last week I have been staying at an awesome old country house on the out skirts of the city, in this gaff we have a full studio so we have been making some beats slowly but surely but I am quite pleased with what we have achieved already on this deep techy progressive monster of a track.

Last Saturday we all went to a festival that got cancelled the week before called xxxepiereance which was be catered for around 10,000+ people, this was an open

air event in a very hot climit and i think I got slightly sunburnt.

 

 

I was supposed to go to Ibiza from here but due to me not giving my track to a certain club brand record label, now my gig has been cancelled but they have offered me a gig at there new venue back in Birmingham which is the new Gatecrasher on Broad Street on the 20th September and that will be probably my first date back in the UK and one of the only gigs that I have done in the UK this year so I am quite excited about it as i have not seen the guys in Birmingham for a while and to top this off tis gig is to launch the new super club and I am also playing along side Pete Tong as well as Lojack.

 

This last week here saw me doing a bit of sight seeing and finishing the track that I have started here called “Deeper”, and errrrm last night I had a bit of errrrrrm luck with a gob smackingly gorgeous young lady!

 

My stay here has made me look at Brazil in a new way from what I see I feel that Brazil has an in between feel of Shanghai and Ibiza, but I can honestly say that it has impressed me and has inspired me musically and I hope that with our influences together that we can make some special kind of  music for the world.

 

The big tracks from my tour have included monsters from myself, Gaz James & Hauswerks, Marshall, Mark Maitland, Kim Fai, Gabe, Sasha, Rudi Stakker, and King Roc too name a few.

 

A big thanks to every one who looked after me, I had an awesome time!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Right speak again when back in UK,till then

 

 

Ciao x
