Hmmmm... what day is it again?

The last ten days have been a bit of a blur to say the least. First off was Almaty, which was always going to be a mammoth weekend. Di Wang and Gas Club on the Friday both turned out to be nice gigs in their own right. After the set at Gas, made our way over to Da Freak, at which point the after-party came into its own, due in no small part to hooking up with the Almaty triumvirate of Sniper, Misha and Lalita - I've definitely left a part of me in Kazakhstan - not sure which bit... Suffice to say it took a very long time to emerge from the hotel the next day, and it was a slightly frazzled and over-emotional Moussa that stepped up to the decks on Saturday night at Da Freak (although Nour's fantastic home cooking pepped me up no end). The crowd were amazingly warm and welcoming - it all seemed to be over far too quickly, and by the time it came to make my way to the airport straight from the club, I have to say I could have easily have been persuaded to stay much longer... Should definitely be back there in 2006 - cant wait. Thanks again to Nour and Vasilyi for the gigs, and to Simeon for taking me round on Friday evening...
Then onto last Saturday night back in London - still standing in the middle of the dancefloor at Formulate at 11:30am on Sunday, having finished my set at 9:00am and having lost everyone that I came to the club with ;-) Big ups to Nathan and Rochie for the gig and thanks to the Salacious records boys for looking after me (Top tunes too) - and Jez, if ever you read this, send me a fax with bullet points.
Im going to be holing up for the holiday season now to recuperate, and will be coming out of gig hibernation in the new year... See ya...
