Still Life Relaunch - Wrapped Up!

To get you in the mood, let’s look back and get all nostalgic about our last party at Boat Live 🛶 🫧

We do it all again this Saturday at our day-to-night Summer closing party. All roads lead to Hackney Wick 👽

Live from Ldn.east on the August bank holiday. I had 2 hours during sunset, bringing the party from daylight into darkness, introducing harder sounds as the set went on. After a summer of festivals where I have been in the crowd during these hours, it was amazing to be in control of the decks and really mix up the styles. Big up Little Festival London for inviting me down again 🆙☝️

A few snaps on film from our last party. See you all at the next one!

This will be my last ever show on Bloop London Radio. I started my radio journey on Hoxton FM, hosting a monthly show from October 2015 to June 2018. I then joined Bloop in February 2019. I have loved my time on Bloop and feel very proud of the body of work I have shared.

I will continue my music through a different medium. Concentrating on my own productions, starting with my first release alongside Lewis Jimenez, which is out now on H24 Musique. It is part of the compilation 'Love For Ukraine'.

Listen to the release here, and go check out the rest of the compilation. h24musique.bandcamp.com/track/colourway

All money raised will be donated to Closer Kyiv's appeal to assist Ukrainian citizens during the war. It’s amazing to be part of this project with producers, artists, engineers & records labels working together, unpaid, to make it happen.

There are some really big names on the release, and some great music too! People like Archie Hamilton, Mathew Jonson, Cosmjn, Subb-an, Herodot, S.A.M., Fabe, Bushwacka!, Léon, Silverlinings, Markus Sommer, Alexis Cabrera, Sublee, plus a lot more.

I will also be recording bi-monthly podcasts for different music platforms, so you'll still have plenty of mixes coming from me!

Lastly, I am relaunching our event Still Life, which was put on hold during the pandemic. Our relaunch party will take place this summer in Hackney Wick, that's all I can say for now but the team are really excited to get back on the dancefloor.

All I ever wanted to do is share the music I love in hope that others would feel the vibe too.

Thanks for listening

A lot has changed in the last few months. Clubs are back open and festivals are in full swing.

In celebration, for this months show, I've put together a mix of deeper, driving house music for you to get lost in. The sort of sounds you want to listen to around 3am, in an intimate venue, with a pounding sound system. We kick off at around 130bpm and work our way upwards. Listen here https://bit.ly/3kQurrT

Damn, it feels good to be back! 🤩 I absolutely LOVED playing at The Cause reopening party last weekend. The energy was mad in every room and I’m still smiling.

Here’s a video from my closing track before handing over to Trista Da Cunha b2b Robert James.

This weekend, The Cause is putting on an even bigger show for their birthday. A handful of tickets are left on Resident Advisor - get involved, you won’t regret it.

This is actually happening! I’m super pleased to be part of this historic moment in club culture, as we’re finally allowed to dance.

The Cause: Reopening Weekend - FRIDAY

The Cause are putting on 3 multi-room parties across 3 days. It’s the biggest opening celebration in London.

I’m playing a 3 hour set in Grow on Friday night, which is also open as part of this party.

The Cause is back in all its original glory and more. They have morphed the space into a much bigger beast and are absolutely itching to showcase a proper party for you all.

This will be the first dance in the Theatre, as they open the full complex all weekend for a huge celebration. The new space is massive and is a proper party room, with the DJ booth in the centre of the floor.

The line-up for the opening weekend will remain mostly unannounced, but expect to hear some of their favourite selectors playing all strands of underground, electronic music - house, techno, disco, breaks, garage & more.

I know who is I’m my room and I’m stoked to play alongside them - my mouth is shut though.

It’s 90% sold out - get the final tickets via the link in my header.

The Cause, Ashley House, Ashley Rd, London N17 9LZ.

You need to provide a negative lateral flow test upon arrive. Read more about this on their page, The Cause.
