a wilde night in wurzburg!
Kim Wilde is alive and singing in Wurzburg at the age of 40 something, well at least last saturday she was to over 4 thousand people…a crowd somewhat bigger than mine at the Soulmotion party downstairs in the Posthalle, however the dnb crowd had WAY more taste! My first time in the north of the south of Germany was marred by a bout of food poisoning, so although the gig went well, the party was fun and the crowd enjoyed it, i didnt drink or get involved with the dancefloor in anyway after my performance, which is not how i like to get down.

Back in Germany once tonights fashion affair is over, flying into Stuttgart early morning then off to Ulm for the Soulfire sessions. Really looking forward to it especially after meeting some of the crew in Sun and Bass, looking forward to a little reunion, ha ha! If your in the area you know what to do, come down get loud and shack out STANDARD! x

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!

a song for my mum
I wrote this song for my mum, the strongest woman i knew throughout my teenage years. Originally the backing track was more dirty, early hacienda style and it was that which evoked the memories which helped me to create this top line and lyric. Some of you might have heard it as it was released last October on Nocturnal Groove, funny i never knew that..anyways the original demo is after the jump for, enjoy!
reloading the reload
Back in April i had an amazing night down on the South bank in London at Raj Reload performing with The Engine-Earz Experiment. Here is what has to be one of my favorite performances so far of the track Kali-Yuga with the awesome Abi Sampanthan on Veena. More tracks from the show are up online feat Sam from Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Lena from Shes is Danger, Sahid Abbis Khan and Nathan Flutebox Lee.
puff puff give, pour me another one
Two phrases i love inspired this weeks Frontroom Radio. FR05 Smokin & Drinkin is up now at mixcloud and ready for your listening pleasure! Every single track in the hour is either about puffing the good stuff, swilling alcohol, being high or has a connection in the title….All except Bisweed & Spirit included simply for their names! So many tracks i didn’t include leads me to believe that I’ll be making another smokin and drinkin themed selection in my frontroom before the summers out Listen.Like.Love.Share.Enjoy!
mum im on dnbtv!
Spent a lovely afternoon a few weeks back in the hallowed halls of Drum & Bass Arena, met a fair few of the office crew who make up the tour de force team (and are all lovely, even the one who doesn’t speak much and is stuck in the dark corner), played a few new tracks and then did a little interview in the park down the road. Twas very nice Watch my guinness world record attempt for the most amount of words per minute, as i ramble on about my d&b history, collaborations and new album. Oh and i apologize now for the shakey Geordie accent, sorry fam! Big thanks to all the guys at Drum & Bass Arena and HAPPY 100th SHOW for tonight ya’ll

I made them then me and him decorated them (we got more creative towards the end) they were space-tastic and covered in marshmallows & Icing, then we took photos of them, before battering the whole tray!
