Summer update!!!

Well Hello there!

Just thought it was time I updated on all the things I have been up to in the last month, as things are going pretty busy at the moment!! Firstly a massive thank you to everyone that came to check out my set in the Hardcore Til I Die tent at Global Gathering, I had the most amazing time there and absolutely loved seeing Hardcore at such a main festival.  Here’s hoping that they are back again next year!!! Then the week after I was back down at The O2 Academy in my home town, Bournemouth for Hardcore Heaven. This never fails to be a good night and as always you guys that got down early for my set were completely rocking, much love and respect to you all!!!

Our last Bank Holiday Weekend of the year is almost upon us, and here’s hoping its a scorcher!!! Especially as I’ll be starting the weekend on the Friday night at Slammin’ Vinyl’s Outdoor Sanctuary Festival at Catton Hall Estate and will then be making the mission down to Southampton on Friday night for Electrik, with the one and only MC Marley on my set…excitement!!!! Also make sure you get your tickest early for Fusion’s next installment on 2nd October at The O2 Academy. This has one stomping line up of Hardcore and Hard Dance that is set to drive you wild!!! Check out my flyer plage for more info!

Studio wise things have been uber busy for me lately, with this week having just finished ‘Pretty Slut’ with Lethal Theory’s Joey Riot. This is a follow up to Hardcore Bitch and has a slightly different feel with a house element and lots of cool funky sounds (well I think so anyway hehe).  I also will be getting in the studio with Geos Crew(Electrik Euphoria) and DJ Punch (RSR Recordings) this weekend, as well as being busy with some of my own tracks…buuuuuuuuussssyyyyy but loads of fun!!! Please check out my

Hope you are all having loads of fun this summer, and come and say hello if I see you out and about over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Festival Time!!!

Helloooo, well summer is now well and truly here, which means lots of quality festivals and events up and down the country and for once we seem to also be enjoying some good summer weather!!! Let’s hope it lasts!!

In the past few months I have been busy in the studio, and have put some new tracks up on to Soundcloud,  as well as some of my older tracks. As always I really appreciate any feedback so please leave a comment below and on SoundCloud if you are a member, or send me a message, if possible. I have also some new bits in the pipeline and will be sure to post links as they are completed.

On release news, I’m pleased to say that ‘Too Stoopid’, that I wrote with Flyin and Sparky will be out on Beetfeet records at the end of this month, so make sure you check out Serioussounds if you wish to buy it. If you haven’t heard this track yet then check out my clip on Soundcloud. Beetfeet Records is a new label from the lovely Flyin and Sparky and is set to have some quality tracks released on it, so make sure you check it out.

The summer is a pretty busy one for me, with having not long returned from HTID In The Sun, which was absolutely amazing. If you missed it and would like to hear what I did then grab yourself a copy of the cd pack as my set from the opening night was lucky enough to appear on it.  This was definitely my favourite year out in Lloret de Mar, and much love goes out to everyone that came and partied with me!!

Things coming up include the massive dance festival Global Gathering on 31st July at Long Marston Airfield, Stratford-Upon-Avon. This is most definitely one of the biggest dance festivals in the UK, with no less than 8 areas you can guarantee it is going to go off!!! From me you can expect new tracks alongside all my usual fun and craziness, one not to miss!!

I will also be playing at Hardcore Heaven’s Summer Session at the O2 academy in Bournemouth on 6th August and Slammin Vinyl’s Sanctuary Outdoor Festival at Catton Hall, (amongst other nights) which are also set to be full on, banging hardcore events.

Well that’s all for me for this time. Hope you are all having fun and enjoying the summer.  Hope to see you all out and about.

xx

Summer is finally on it’s way!!!

Wow time certainly appears to be going fast!!! At least we are now fast approaching the summer, with lots of festivals, special events and hopefully some good weather it most definitely has to be my favourite time of year!!

Summer 2010 is shaping up to be extremely busy for me with bookings including HTID in The Sun, Resonate’s Hard Dance Royale, the massive Global Gathering and Slammin Vinyl’s Sanctuary Outdoor Festival now in it’s four year running!

In the last few months I have been busy in the studio with producer Jay Glitch, coming up with some fresh beats which will all be showcased as my bookings across the summer

I have also recently had a guest mix on DJ Sc@r’s weekly show on Happyhardcore.fm, which I will soon upload to here.

Hope to see everyone out and about at the many Hardcore events over the summer!!

A very belated Happy New Year!!!

Hi everyone,

I know it’s a bit late now, seeing as we’re half way through January but Happy New Year!!! It’s been a long time since I’ve updated this, for which I apologise, things have been a little crazy lately for me mostly being locked away in the darkest depths of my studio…and annoying my neighbours at the same time!

Since my last update in September I have been working hard at some new material, and as you can see there is now a ‘Productions’ tab, where I shall upload clips of some of my new tracks, and some of my older ones too for your listening. I will also be uploading a new mix and some of my older ones to the new ‘Mixes’ tab shortly, so do come back soon to check them out!!

Recently I have also had my first releases on Electrik Euphoria Records, and these can now be downloaded from many online legal download sites to include Trackitdown, Serioussounds and IMOdownload. On IMOdownload you will also find my first release on RSR Records, ‘Shinedown’ that was written with Ramos, Punch and Deanne. Please check back soon for more information on more of my releases.

2010 is also looking to be an exciting year for me with already bookings confirmed with Hardcore Heaven, HTID Global Energy Weekender and HTID in The Sun and many more. I have also recently been taken on by TGPromotions Artist agency so please email bookings@tgpromotions.com for information.

Also you can now follow me on the following websites, for more short but sweet updates:

September Update

Hi everyone, sorry that it’s been a while since I have updated on my happenings…things have been pretty hectic lately!! I’m recently back from my debut in New York for Candyball 7, which has definitely been one of the best events that I have ever played at! The ravers out there most certainly know how to party.

September is also a busy month for me, having just played at High Velocity the weekend just gone and will also be at Southern Sound Festival this weekend (flyer soon to be uploaded to flyer page). This festival looks absolutely massive and is long awaited for the south coast ravers, with 5 arenas including Fusion, Destiny, Resonate, Goodgreef and We Are Your Friends…this event is simply going to go right off!!

Also for those of you that are thinking of coming to Uproar Goes to the Dam next month, make sure you remember to book your tickets as the booking date closes on 18/09/09. I played at this event last year, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend, even though it was a little choppy!! But this year’s event is a month earlier in the year so the sea shouldn’t be as rough, which will mean that we’ll all have an even better time!!

Some music news…my tracks, ‘Mystery’ and ‘Blow Your Mind’ featuring MC Knight, are due to be the next release on Electrik Euphoria Records so keep your eyes peeled for these tracks in all good record shops. Also I have recently been in the studio with the lovely Joey Riot and have made a track with him featuring The Twisted Mistress, called ‘Hardcore Bitch’.

Hope you’re all keeping well and hopefully see you all at a rave somewhere soon xx

All things new and exciting happening with me!

Well hello there!

As you can see I’ve recently had a new website designed (thanks to Stu – Gekko) and updated as it was time for a change. Things have been going pretty busy for me in the world of Hardcore at the moment, so here’s an update of what I’ve been up to and what’s to come in the next month.

I’ve not long got back from HTID in the Sun 09, which has had to have been definitely the best one yet! For those of you that weren’t out there I played the pre-party on Wednesday, a main room set on Wednesday with JB-C (which was simply unreal) and on the boat party on Friday with Wotsee, Casper and Marc Smith. Big thank you to everyone at HTID for having me out to play in Lloret de Mar and just as bigger thank you to everyone I met out there and partied with! If you missed it this year make sure you get there next year as this event is far too good to miss!!!

On Tuesday (23/06/09), my first release with RSR Recordings (RSR Boys, Clodhopper & Deanne – Shinedown) will be available to purchase from most record shops that sell Hardcore. Mystery and Blow Your Mind (with MC Knight) shall also be out to buy in the next few months on Electrik Euphoria and I shall update you with more information as soon as possible.

I’m also busy with bookings at the moment and am particularly looking forward to Hardcore Heaven Summer Session at The Opera House on 3rd July and Ravers Reunited on 11th July. For more information of my exact whereabouts please check the ‘Events’ tab.

And last but not least, I’m proud to inform you all that I have been nominated for the Best Breakthrough DJ Award at the Hardcore Heaven Awards this year. I’m not asking you all to vote for me but if you would like to you can at Slammin Vinyl – Hardcore Heaven Awards

Please remember to check back regularly for updates of what I am doing. I hope to upload a free mix for you all as soon as possible. xx
