catching up on music
Spending some of my halloween sunday catching up on soundcloud, loving this Mickey Smiley re-edit from Mr Johnny Miller, nice chilled tune on theme for the afternoon. Another fav after the jump is a mix from DJ Akira Ishi at the Worldwide Showcase in Tokyo, best thing is both are available to download for free 
warrior souls!
London got Blitzkrieg’d this week by my brother from another mother Kabuki promoting his excellent new album Warrior Soul. He passed through DNB TV, Kool FM, Swerve and the hallowed halls of 1Xtra click the links to listen back to him and Bailey chew the fat over the airwaves, twas a very nice show indeed. Watch out for me and Kabuki playing in Romania, Serbia (hopefully) and Japan later on in the year. Shouts to the online crew in Yalding for the pics, ya large

Limp Bizkit @ Summer Sonic
Still catching up on last fortnights awesome trip to Japan for the mahussive Summer Sonic festival. Headlining our stage in Osaka and Tokyo were Limp Bizkit who honestly i didn’t realize were together anymore… (more…)
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.

R.I.P accessories….
This year touring with the Qemists has took me all over the place, we’ve played and partied quite hard, in so many cities & clubs it was inevitable that some of my possesions were gonna go walkabouts. This is just a small dedication to some of my favourite pieces no longer with us, well no longer with me some lucky f**kers found them…hope their being nice to my babies! (more…)
You are Daft Punk!
Well you can be in the cyber sense. Miho my Tokyo hostess with the mostess sent a link to this rather amusing online drum machine, filled with the glorious samples of Daft Punks Harder Better Faster as sampled by Kanye. Que hours of endless combinations all which make you feel like a super satr DJ…just keep them headphones on if your in the office though!
Eat, Pray, Love – Elizabeth Gilbert
Sams holiday read is ‘Eat, Pray, Love‘.
How true so much of it is…
On Soul Mates
Elizabeth
‘I think the reason its so hard for me to get over this guy is cause i believed he was my soulmate‘
Richard
‘He probably was, your problem is you don’t understand what that word means. People think your soul mate is the perfect fit and that’s what everyone wants but a true soulmate is a mirror.
The person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person that brings to you your own attention so you can change your life. A true soulmate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet cause they tear down your walls and smack you awake but to live with a soul mate forever, nah its too painful.
Soulmates they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you and then they leave and thank god for it, your problem is you just cant let this one go! Its over, his purpose was to shake you up, tear apart your ego show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light could get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you had to transform your life then introduce you to your spiritual master and beat it!‘
