FYI - moonrise is 1738h today & tomorrow - the actual full moon, Moonrise is at 1837h 🌝🥮🌝🥮

Here's some fun full moon facts:
+ This the harvest moon in the West
+ The moon will be near the perigee - the closest point to the Earth, at a distance of around 357,400 km tonight & tomorrow
+ The moon will look up to +14% bigger than normal
+ A partial lunar eclipse will be visible in South America, USA, Europe, Africa and Western Asia - but not here in in Hong Kong - Mo yi si ar :(
+ This is not a bird, it's not a plane - it's a Super Moon!
+ A Supermoon occurs when the Moon's orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time the Moon is full
+ have fun

Here's a mix I recorded for SoundwavesHK at Waterfront Restaurant & Bar on Lamma Island on a stinking hot 32c Hong Kong summer Sunday alongside

Enjoy!

Really enjoyed spinning this set on a stinking hot 32c summer day at the Waterfront Restaurant on Lamma Island in Hong Kong! I LOVE spinning outdoors in the sunshine as the music takes on a whole new life of its own when played outside - especially on a hot sunny day. Thanks to DJ Caspr & DJ Knuf fo...

LKF nightlife institution Insomnia will close :(

This Thursday, 15th August will be the last night.

Insomnia has been open since 1999.

The group once operated six venues across Hong Kong, employing a workforce of around 140 individuals. The closure will leave over 40 operational staff and musicians chasing unpaid salaries.

According to sources, the group has been grappling with delayed and non-payment of salaries since September 2023.

After two and a half decades as the beating heart of Lan Kwai Fong's vibrant live music scene, the iconic Insomnia nightclub is set to shut down, leaving a void in Hong Kong's nightlife landscape.

Came across this excellent Channel 4 comedy Series on Youtube. Completely missed it when it was out back in 2013 ish. It follow s the antics of the staff of a phone shop in Sutton High St.

I find it particularly funny as I know Sutton High St where the series is based very well from my youth.

Phoneshop Season 1 Episode 1 PhoneShop is a British sitcom that was first broadcast on Channel 4 as a television pilot on 13 November 2009, as part of the ch...

Interesting article about local artist Bianca Tse, who has created some Ai art about Hong Kongs infamous Kowloon Walled City.

Worth a look.

Hong Kong artist Bianca Tse has created whimsical AI images of notorious Kowloon Walled City, a warren of slum buildings in the city demolished in 1993 and 1994. She talks about what inspired her project.

Been quite the week!

Got back to Hong Kong last Saturday after a 6-day trip sailing a 40ft Nautitech Open 40 Catamaran yacht back to Hong Kong. We enjoyed all types of sea state from flat sea, no wind & 45c+ blistering hot sunshine to 2.5 – 3m swells and 44kmh / 24kn winds with rain.

Once I arrived back in Hong Kong, I headed home to see my girlfriend quickly before heading straight back out sailing in the big squally storms we had on Saturday on my regular boat ‘Rising Sun’ – a 48ft Dufour 68 cruising boat in 70kmh/37kn of wind, lightning and sheet rain!

Seems some people don’t when to quit while they are ahead.

Amazingly, after safely sailing 1,053km/654m/568nm without losing my phone, I managed to drop it in the sea in Hong Kong, so not many photos to share I’m afraid!

We sailed down to Cheung Chau & found a gap in the storms long enough to cook up a giant steak on the boat BBQ and enjoy a swim before arriving back in safe harbour about 5 mins before the rains started up again in earnest.

Finally enjoyed some last minute arranged birthday drinks at Three Sheets Bar in Discovery Bay while watching the spectacular lightning storms & rain!

To top it all off, while I was away my girlfriend surprised me by getting a new job + promotion at work & some rare time off, so we are off to Bali for a week to celebrate!

We are leaving early Thu morning & will be in Bali until 18th May, so living the dream this Month!

I’m looking for nice people to meet up with Bali, any DJ opportunities & of course anyone who might be interested in my LinkedIn services!

Thanks!

Here's a mix I recorded for what I have dubbed 'the poshest car boot sale in the world' here in hong Kong. All the cars were either luxury ones or classic cars like this one. They even had a fireworks display one night! It was a great event which I hope they will run again in the future.

Enjoy the mix & share with your friends!

Let go of people who are not ready to love you.

This is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do in your life and it will also be the most important thing.

Stop having difficult conversations with people who don't want to change.

Stop showing up for people who are not interested in your presence.

I know your instinct is to do everything possible to gain the appreciation of those around you, but it's an impulse that steals your time, energy, mental and physical health.

When you start fighting for a life with joy, interest and commitment, not everyone will be ready to follow you to that place. It doesn't mean you have to change who you are, it means you have to let go of people who aren't ready to be with you. If you are excluded, insulted, forgotten or ignored by the people you give your time to, you are not doing yourself a favor by continuing to offer them your energy and your life.

Truth is you ain't for everybody and everybody ain't for you. This is what makes it so special when you find people you have friendship with or mutual love. You will know how precious it is because you have experienced what is not. There are billions of people on this planet and many of them you will find at your level of interest and commitment. Maybe if you stop showing up, they won't look for you. Maybe if you stop trying, the relationship ends.

Maybe if you stop texting, your phone will stay dark for weeks. That doesn't mean you ruined the relationship, it means the only thing sustaining it was the energy you only gave to keep it.

That's not love, that's attachment.

It's giving a chance to those who don't deserve it!

You deserve so much more. The most valuable thing you have in your life is your time and energy, as both are limited. The people and things you give your time and energy to, will define your existence. When you realize this you start to understand why you are so anxious when you spend time with people, activities or spaces that don't suit you and shouldn't be near you.

"You will start to realize that the most important thing you can do for yourself and everyone around you is to protect your energy more fiercely than anything else.

Make your life a safe haven, where only people "compatible" with you are allowed.

You are not responsible for saving anyone.

You are not responsible for convincing them to do better.

It's not your job to exist for people and give them your life!

You deserve real friendships, true commitments and a complete love with healthy and prosperous people.

Decision to distance yourself from toxic people, will give you the love, esteem, happiness and protection you deserve.

Came across this excellent video of one my favourite Sting Songs from his seminal 'Dream of the Blue Turtles' album. Hard to imagine that was 1985 - 39 years ago now!

Still sounds amazing today.
