I mentioned in a previous post that a debut in Dubai was on the cards. Well now it's actually happening, and I'll be playing at 360 Degrees for Audio Tonic on February 16th. Ive heard lots about Dubai as a clubbing city, and yes, I'm looking forward to the winter sunshine ;-)Tuesday, January 23, 2007
Dubai

Back In The Ukraine
This weekend I'm off to the Ukraine for some more international goodness. I'll be at Forsage in Kiev on Thursday night, then I'll be down at Sfera in Dnepropetrovsk on Saturday. I'll be joined by Ukrainian star Sender, who apart from being one of the nicest guys on the international scene, is just about one of the best house DJs I've heard anywhere. He travels around Europe gigging a fair bit (he was at Mix Club in Paris a couple of weeks ago with Joachim Garraud for example) so if you ever get the chance to see him play, trust me, it's an absolute must.
All hail the Beardyman. Check Choose Your Doctor
Want to know what Tom Baker would sound like doing Ewan McGregor's bit on "Choose Life"? Of course you do... PF Project - "Choose Life was out 10 years ago, was produced by me and Jamie White, and heavily sampled the cult "Trainspotting" film. Positiva signed it and persuaded Messrs. McGregor, Welsh and Channel 4 to let us use the sample. We had a sizeable hit with it and got to prance around on Top of The Pops for five minutes.
For those of you not based in the UK, Tom Baker is a cult British actor - he played Doctor Who in the late 70s, and his career is currently undergoing a cultish renaissance since doing the narrator bits for Little Britain. He also provided the voice for sms to phone messages in the UK over the Christmas 2006 period, and someone with far too much time on their hands has used this fact to their advantage.

Made me chuckle anyway :-)
Big thanks to Alex from JazzUpstarts for pointing this one out to me!
Stockholm
Just got back from Stockholm, still reeling slightly to be honest :-) Played at the small but perfectly formed Vardagsrummet ("Living Room" in Swedish) with Ozgur Can (pictured) and J-Dot P. Their policy is that the guest DJs have to be drunk before playing, and I happily obliged. Hello Nadja, Rouzbeh, Richard and the other people I met - much, much fun and after party nonsense :-)Theme Magazine Publishes My Ramblings
Those of you who know me well will know that I'm a bit of a pseud at heart. I'm an avid reader of mags like Nude, Big Idea, Little White Lies, Granta, Smoke et. al., and in a former life I probably fancied myself as an in-depth cultural features writer (hell, why do you think I keep a blog?)So when Theme Magazine, an extremely cool New York based culture and travel mag with an Asian bias, asked me to write an article on my DJ trips to Kazakhstan, I almost literally jumped at the chance.
The print edition is out now and available from all good stockists in the US, but you can also read the article online on the Theme Magazine website.
Big thanks to John for asking.

Apologies for the random and incrompehensible in-jokes, but any kind of explanation would probably fall flat on its face. Anyway, Tim, Sophie, Stef, Nicola, Joe, Abi, Laura, Jody, Lucy, you're all absolute legends.PS: There's more info on the crayon situation here: National Crayon Enquiries.

Muchos Photos
There's loads of new galleries up on my Flickr page, including Club Pepper in Holland on New Years Eve. Ive also sorted out loads of old pics into sets, and even found some ancient flyers knocking around from the "Moose" days in the 90s. All very nostalgic and definitely showing my age.Check out the photo section on my website.
