Halloween in Paris and London

It's a double-header for me this Halloween!

On 31st October I'm off to Paris for what looks to be a really interesting party, the brilliantly-named Useless. Organised by music blog stalwarts Freeyourmind, it's an all-English lineup (sort of, if we ignore the Senegalese and Jewish ancestry in at least two of the participants :-D), since I'll be playing alsongside Howie B (talented producer, U2 et al) and Princess Lea (local expat DJ diva). It's all happening at cult venue La Java, where none other than the legendary Edith Piaf sang. Ca va dechirer les gars :-)

On 1st November, I'm back in London to play Love Bullet, my cosy little monthly UK residency. Here I'm joining Dan Proxy for what promises to be another night of carnage. The venue for this one is the small but perfectly formed Inigo in Clapham.

UCOH Radio Interview

There's an interview with me up on the UCOH website. It was broadcast a while ago on CRMK in the UK. Check it out here!

Oven Ready Returns to Copenhagen

Last weekend I was back in Copenhagen in Denmark for a fantastic party at Culture Box. It was a welcome one-off return for Oven Ready, which used to hold legendary events at Vega, promoted and driven by local DJ hero Tim Andresen.

Sadly though, I had to leave the club as soon as I finished playing. I'd been pretty ill and was on super-strength antibiotics, and made the fatal mistake of having one drink, after which everything went kind of pear-shaped. I now know exactly why they have those warnings on those packets - dont do it kids!

Miss Chelyabinsk 2008

This weekend I'm going back to Chelyabinsk in Russia for a date that's a little bit out of the ordinary for me! It's not a gig as such, I'm doing a personal appearance and providing the music for the local heat of the Miss Russia contest in the city of Chelyabinsk in the South Urals. The music won't be my usual clubby fare either, expect glamourous lounge, cool pop, indie dance and balearic beats mashed up together to provide the sonic backdrop for the night, as the contestants and models strut their stuff on the catwalk. I'm really looking forward to it, and also to catching up with some of my friends in Chel!
