I’m feeling quite excited this morning as I’ve got a really good weekend ahead of me this week, which will include catching a bit of S.O.S, Andy Cato & Pryda @ the Circus Birthday event at Nation here in Liverpool.

I’ve got some wicked gigs coming up over the course of the next few weeks, in New York, Manchester and Liverpool, where I’ll be playing with the likes of Danny Howells, Guy Gerber & X-Press 2!

I’ve been listening to John Digweed‘s ‘Transitions Vol 3‘ CD – A fine selection of underground slammers, as of course you would expect from the hairy ginger DJ. Not just your average mix CD, Disc 2 has a 25 min new track from John himself called ‘Gridlock’ … 25 mins! Yes, you did read that right - It’s a cool musical journey reflecting John’s sound, plus it’s getting released as a 12” with a 12 minute edit… 12 mins is rather lengthy still… Maybe its all about to go epic house again?!?!

Last night we went on a team building exercise, or maybe it it was just an excuse for a night on the ale. As per usual, Youth Club didn’t show, but at least this time he didn’t try to come up with some crazy story as an excuse – I am tired’.

The evening started off with a superb meal at Tokyou, a local noodle bar, which represents great value for money. I recommend the beef teriyaki. Then, via a couple of bars (Lago, Heebie Jeebies), we ended up in mood for a ‘bucking buffalo’ session, during which we all sustained injuries, but due to us all signing disclaimers, there was no opportunity for legal compensation.

Unfortunately the wet t-shirt competition was postponed, but there was the added bonus of a free barbecue! Its amazing how nice Iceland value pack sausages can taste after several pints. Then, the remaining few of us went to see Paul Oakenfold at the Carling Academy, which was interesting!

During all this I’ve forgotten to talk about music, so ill just end on saying that this tune is really floating my boat ….. Mike Di Scala ‘Turn My Life Around’, on 3 Beat Blue. Although not to my usual taste, it really is rather large!

Test Pressings of the brand new Hectik release , Alex K – The Bounce EP, are on the way and should be in stock within a day or two! The 5th EP on this wicked little label ups the ante yet again with a 3-tracker of Aussie goodness, including ‘Royal Flush’, ‘Raining Down’ & ‘Get Up Everybody’ – No doubt you will know all 3 as they’re currently massive at the Pleasure Rooms, Wigan Pier, Frequency and just about everywhere else right now.
