sunday slouching – finest hour
Been trawling through the internet today feasting my ears on Submotion Orchestra after catching them live last night at Vagabondz in Leeds. Truely awesome sound, amazing players, beautiful singer…i dont care if im late im just glad i found them 
Check em out for yourself at Outlook this year amongst loads of other places, i suggest if you havent go do it now…or as soon as possible
vampires, homebrew & expensive condoms
Twas my first time in Romania last weekend alongside Kabuki for the TM10 Base Festival in Timisoara, met some great people, extremely kind and a lot of fun thanks to all that got us over there for the show
Now Im not trying to be ignorant at all (i was made to choose between history & geography in high school and saw myself as a historian rather than a traveller back then) but until looking in the back of the inflight magazine on my way to Romania i actually had no idea where i was going. In fact to sound completely ignorant the most i knew about this distance and quite romantic sounding land of Romania was that Dracula had once lived there…if you believe all you read or see in Hollywood epics you’ll also find the grounds of Highgate, Hampstead and Whitby quite hallowed however here i was en route to Transylvania…ok ok i know stupid it was Timisoara and i knew this shallow teenage vampire fantasy of mine was based on tired media steroetypes and so i was on my best behaviour on leaving the airplane and tried my very best not see Dracula references EVERYWHERE…..
laundry day <3
60,000 people, 400 acts in just one day. The Belgians don’t do things by half! Laundry Day at the beginning of September was the perfect way to kick off a month of adventures, all thanks to the terrific two Murdock & Netsky for getting me over there again, was a pleasure and always a joy!

It was a week and a day ago that i left the lovely island of Sardinia, the end to my Sun and Bass bliss. many a thing has happened since then, many fun and wonderful things in fact but its only now, today that im finally shaking my S&B hangover.

Wow time is flying like mythical pigs round here and the official end to my summer is drawing closer and closer, Sun & Bass 2010! Im so excited that i’d thought i’d remind myself of whats in store by watching this short film from last years festivities hosted by Bailey! If you haven’t got your ticket yet and are still in need of a festival fix, it aint to late to get your sh*t together and go, see you on the beach bee-yatches!
BP & the coffee spill
Spent last night with the Riot Jazz lads watching them organize their uber experience at this years Kendal Calling , in between watching them work and eating pizza they showed me some funny ass videos…this is the first
testing, testing @ parklife
The (locally controversial) Manchester festival was much fun this weekend, i was residing for most of Saturday behind the Ape tent soaking up the sun, hanging with Chunky n crew and trying out Ustreams Iphone app that allows you to broadcast live on the interweb to your Ustream Channel from your IPhone . Now it kind of worked and it kind of didn’t for a number of reasons, one major flaw 02‘s Iphone network being quite shabby on the day (quelle surpirse!) another being my newbie set up of the app and my channel on the site itself. Also the ever flowing stream of fizzy booze didnt help but i did get few things on video, however alot of stuff i recorded using the ustream app and saved went missing….not a good look and i should of just recorded via IPhone cam…lesson learned anyways here for your viewing pleasure is a little sample of the salvaged footage from a day in the life at the park!
djs stopped me blogging

Oh and is it true Alex Chung & Josh Harnett?…again ew ew ew ew ew!
snaps from saturday
Last Saturday i was in London via Reading performing with The Engine-Earz at the Queen Elizabeth Hall as part of the amazing Raj:Reload. The gig absolutely smashed it with the seated venue turning into what can only be called the Queen Elizabeth Dance Hall once E=E was on stage, lol, alot of fun had by all in attendance on the Southbank for some truely inspiring performances. The party carried on until the wee hours of the morning and the lovely Levant/sequester captured some classic moments from backstage and beyond, simply a dope weekend.
A Pumpkins for life, not just Halloween.
Thats right you carvers of wasted flesh, if a Pumpkin was a puppy would you have gutted it so carelessly for one night of visual pleasure and then be throwing it on the bonfire later? I think not therefore behold the wondrous vegetable that is the mighty Pumpkin/Squash and fall in love with its many guises…. (more…)
Sun & Bass 2009 – Bal Harbour
So face bookers will have already seen the videos & photos from the awesome location that is Bal Harbour in San Teodoro. I’ve had the pleasure to perform there twice as part of Sun and Bass the first time 2007…was an experience for all, personally it wasn’t my best but this year made up for it no end! (more…)
Bingley was a blast!
Two sundays ago The Qemists Live were up north tucked away in a valley somewhere near York for Bingley Music Live. Twas such a fun day in a random location and i reccomend if your ever in the vicinity check out this totally awesome festival. If only for the Sunday lunch at artist catering by Popcorn…mmmmmmmmmmm…the serving dude wasn’t to bad either, gave me extra tatties

Thank Q Summer Sonic!
What an amazing weekend in an awesome country, Summer Sonic 2009 Japan was one of the best live experiences i’ve ever had! Truely humbling, the two shows with the Qemists in Tokyo & Osaka were what my childhood dreams were made of 10,000 strong crowds, speaker rigs and scaffolding to climb and gyrate on, huge video screens, dressing rooms next to uber stars, autograph signings, TV interviews…the list goes on and on.
Live this weekend @ Feest in Het Park!
Back in Belguim for the 4th time this summer for the festival in the park… (more…)
