More Afro than Shaft. Putting this latest set together was easy as 1,2,3. April has been fantastic already for Afro House releases, sprinkled with a couple of tracks that I've been seriously impatient to play.

Track-listing in the description

Session #17 marks a moment where I'm all caught up and creating new journeys in sound. April releases have been fantastic for Afro House especially and so that's where we find ourselves with this nex

XPRSSN #16 now on SoundCloud. This is actually ANOTHER re-recorded set, this time from my second SOCO LOCO event, following on from the amazing Jon Gurd. #17 and a weekly stream is now in the works!

This was another re-recorded set, thrashed out in one take as I couldn't stop vibing on it and loved playing this one live at SOCO LOCO. I followed the fantastic Jon Gurd - so the nerves were biting

It's been a little while since I shared a mix - this one was re-recorded from a set I played on Bloop London Radio late last year. It's an indulgent mix, throwing in some special tracks from heroes of mine; Sasha, Digweed, Because of Art, Framewerk and some golden 'oldies' from Matt Darey and Lucky7's very special remix of a classic trance track.

I hope you enjoy.

It's taken me a little while to get this one out! Initially performed at Bloop London Radio back at the end of 2024. It's been a wild ride so far in 2025, with my RESIDENT DJ agency and SOCO LOCO eve

If you're ever in St Albans as I was this past Wednesday, you owe it to yourself to pop into this man's gallery. has painstakingly and faithfully recreated iconic 7" vinyl sleeves capturing the dawn and growth of rock and roll through the ages. The cultural impact this genre of music had is well known, but the art that accompanied was more subversive. Record sleeves were a launchpad for design icons whose art was propelled into the zeitgeist as music led culture and fashion during the second half of the 20th century. Getting to chat with the man that has dedicated himself to recreating these to meticulous detail was seriously inspiring.

As a DJ and extremely casual artist myself, this was a shot in the arm for me to see what's possible beyond the graphic design I have done to support mixtapes and event posters. It has shown me a way of expanding my creativity and giving flowers to the artists, labels and scene that has sculpted the dance music image and club culture since the late 80s.

If you want to learn from the man himself, go follow Morgan and see where his work has ended up. He has a book available on Amazon and my copy arrives Monday. I cannot wait!

Did last Saturday actually happen?

Pinching myself that I followed .gurd on the decks last Saturday at my event, SOCO LOCO.

Crowd was hot. Jon was sublime, playing some epic bangers from his catalog of tunes and his brand new Coda EP.

We heard thumpers from , and and a ton more. The music was so good it was nuts.

It was such a turbulent week that led to it, but the payoff on Saturday was incredible.

Hope to be back on it with the amazing .uk crew again soon!

Small moments...

Crazy good time at Suburbia last Saturday and a special thank you to everyone who attended.

Playing a set directly following an artist like Jon Gurd, whom I hugely admire and adore for his work was nerve inducing in the extreme. Running the whole event on top of that was bordering on colonic levels of fear, but everyone teamed up to make it something truly special and I thank the almighty for the friends that made it happen.

Who's up for another SOCO LOCO in '25??

Possible bursitis or infection or.... who knows??

NOT the ideal prep for my set following the maestro .gurd at

Throbbing pain and an extra elbow on top of the OG. Bonza!

It's the little things.

The face you rock when you're on your way to debut at .

Tune in and listen to me in my big boy pants spinning bangers from .gurd and many more. Did I bring enough weapons to last until 10pm? Only one way to find out.

See you there.... oh 'eck.
