Astana, Almaty and Moscow...

...were great fun as usual.

In Astana I wound up playing two clubs, 69 and Hollywood. The first was a fashion party and I was accompanied during my set by a Jazz Accordion Player (I'm not joking), who absolutely rocked. In Almaty, I played Da Freak (still one of my favourite clubs in the world!) for the 4th birthday celebrations of the Set Session Radio Show on Energy FM, in the company of local stars Sniper, Timoffey and Serega. Big thanks to Nour for another fantastic weekend, and to Denis for looking after me in Astana!

Over in Moscow, I had my first gig at Saxar, a small but
perfectly formed club with a really up-for-it crowd. After the gig, we did the usual after party rounds, winding up at Gorod and a couple of other insalubrious establishments. Met up with young Norwegian producer/DJ David Sense (more cake?), and bumped into Guy aka DJ Hyper and his entourage in the backroom at Gorod (the big Nokia-sponsored event that was due to take place that weekend was cancelled at the very last minute so everyone was wandering around town in search of the next party!) Big ups to Kirill, Yulia (so drunk!) and Misha for organising everything.

If you want to check out what it was all like, there are some pics from Da Freak here, pics from Saxar here, and videos from Saxar here (thanks to David Sense for the vids!)
