I missed this photo in my earlier dump. A privilege to get to spend time with someone who is destined for greatness. is such a G it’s unreal. Great to hang out with, great to work with and I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you… x
I’m playing tomorrow at 2pm… join me… x
I’m spinning tunes this Friday. 5hrs of music, going places, going deep. Come down, drink beer and shake your head. See you there ###
Back on the radio today, I took a slightly different route for this weeks show. I’m catalogueing my records (trying to be a grown up) and so pulling out bits and pieces and trying to find things unrelated to each other.
That’s a bit of a departure for me, I usually try and spend the two hours mixing, or at least making moves that make sense to create a harmonious mix, not this time.
Blowing the dust of tracks sat on my shelves, and I might do a bit more of this, I’ve got soooo much amazing music that deserves some sunlight…
2pm Saturday (today) x
Heading down to to spin tunes with my mate Jim all afternoon.
If you are in Brighton or Hove then swing by for a coffee (or a beer) some tunes and vibes…
Reflecting on a busy week and weekend.

Finally put this in a frame… sent to me very kindly by a fellow Jellyhead, a poster for .in immersive thing.
It reminded me, looking at the Impotent Fury flyer at the legendary 333 club, that was where I had my first ever DJ gig, back in the days when a DJ was something to treasure, the person who found and bought records, spent hours, days, weeks, years honing their craft, breaking their backs carrying tonnes of vinyl around.
I think I opened that gig with a track from Jeff Wayne’s ‘War of the Worlds’ (The Ben Leibrand mix obvs) I was clearly setting my stall out early…
A well crafted dj set is a thing of wonder, taking you to places you never thought you’d go, hear tracks you’ve never heard before turning into your favourite tracks in the space of minutes, knowing that those tracks were hunted down over time, and carried there on the bus or train on one’s shoulders.
Mixes like ‘Essential Selection’ or ‘Heavenly Social’ would be on repeat in my car, each twist and turn leading somewhere new.
I wonder if technology or social media has killed the DJ, I certainly don’t see many dj’s with the depth and skills and music, I’m sure you are out there though.
Thanks Mr Bongo x

Celebrating record shops is a good thing. The way in which it is done is arguable (too many reissues clogging up presses etc) but the premise is one of genuine love and support for the guys and girls who are there everyday, finding the best music for you to enjoy.
Culture wouldn’t be the same without record shops, so maybe pop into one today and take a chance on a record you might not have heard before…
Dropping by at 6pm with a bag full of vinyl my first live radio show in a few years.
It’s 1BTN’s 9th birthday so I thought I would help them celebrate with a show packed full of bangers from all genres. Expect Jazz, Hip Hop, Electornica and other worldly business.
Join and I for the first listen of ‘The Liminality of Her’ on Bandcamp at 8pm
We’ll all be in the chat for questions about the album, we’d love to show you our hard work… x
