So a recently made a new friend from Zambia and he really wanted to push me outside my comfort zone, and my usual sphere of music by challenging me to create a slick Afrobeats episode; and it's a challenge I've ruminated on for quite some time... But wait no more! Here it is, my long overdue Afrobeats episode! With this episode I wanted to concentrate on more melodic music; with soulful vibes and...

DJing is funny. Sometimes you have a set which works, first time, and then you have /those sets/. I often create a setlist after work one day, and then mix it the following day, but often I revisit setlists and wonder how on earth two tracks I selected the night before are supposed to work! Luckily that doesn't happen too often and so you find a replacement track to glue your setlist back together...

Ever get so busy that you forget to upload last week's podcast? Well, that's me! Amidst planning for hosting my first live event in London in June, I neglected my podcast! Oh well! Here it is! The final part of my 2022 retrospective; lots of interesting tracks in this, featuring Sigala, Purple Disco Machine, and the legend Gareth Emery. This set closes with two progressive trance tracks, Sea Tides...

30th Episode! That's a pretty important milestone for me; it represents over a year's worth of hard work, refining my skills, and coming up with innovative ways to mix and manage music - So it seems appropriate that it falls within my 2022 Retrospective! And I'm just getting started! Kicking off this mix is a fantastic track by two of my close friends - Tareq and Silverhook's "You And Me". Tareq a...

Sometimes life comes at you quick! It took me a while to publish this retrospective - partly because mixing such diverse genres makes thing difficult and requires finding the right tracks for the right moments so that transitions are smooth, but secondly over my Christmas break I was unfortunately ill a couple of times and that really pushed back my schedule. Anyway, it's here! Part 1 of 3 - A loo...

So! A long time coming and about 15 retries, here is a long awaited Drum'n'Bass mix! It's a mixture of D'n'B, with touch of dubstep and a little dancey in places - Featuring some of my long-time favourites, DJ Fresh, absolute legends Pendulum and of course, you can't mention D'n'B without mentioning the awesome Chase & Status. A little technically complex this one; not the most technically complex...

Okay, so I did this mix out of schedule because I felt very inspired tonight - having had some major success with a project and I wanted to celebrate. So here is a rough and ready mix of some of my favourite tracks and a few I haven't heard in a while. Tracklisting: 1. Kylie Minogue - All the Lovers 2. Tiesto, Sevenn - BOOM 3. Ariana Grande - Break Free 4. David Guetta, Akon - Sexy Bitch 5. La Rou...

Autumn is always a strange time of year for me; the turning of the weather, the clocks going back and the wet days and brown leaves falling from the trees brings a sense of foreboding but also a sense of closure of the year. And what a year it has been; I've been unexpectedly busy - I’ve had some life changing things happen - almost all for the better, and having closed out my last big trip of the...

So this week I started a new day job; and it's a completely different set of technologies to what I'm used to using; and completely different hardware for that matter! So lots of learning to do, but thoroughly enjoying it! And as any good educator will tell you, getting a good night's sleep is fundamental to learning; for your brain to absorb all of those facts and know-how! So in order to wind do...

We all grieve differently; and with the passing of Queen Elizabeth last week, this thought has been on my mind the last few days. This week I had intended to put together another deep house set; and as serendipity has it, a more sombre, thoughtful set was called for. Beginning with the spellbinding and heart-melting "Raye" by Sultan + Shepard, this set is mixed slightly slower, featuring melodic h...

This episode has been a long time coming! I had to remix it 4 times to get it to a stage where I was happy with (most) of the mixes - Ah, the joys of using radio edits and cross-genre tracks. Anyway, it's here and I think it's a great uplifting mix of tracks to celebrate some wonderful times I've had recently in my life. Onwards and upwards! Tracklisting: 1. Fragma - Everytime You Need Me 2. Tunge...

A rough mashup of the epic Soul Anthem by Loran and Rain In Ibiza by Felix Jaehn, The Stickmen Project, and Calum Scott

So it's taken 4 weeks to publish this podcast - No thanks to being me being incredibly busy with festivals and other events, and then having a hard drive crash mid-August, but I've finally managed to retrieve this podcast episode from the wreckage and still incredibly pleased with my first foray into Spanish and Latin pop/dance music. This mix has some amazing full blooded tracks in it - All the w...

So this week's genre was going to be Powerful Vocals - Tracks that are reknowned for their amazing vocals; but given the heat I decided to change that up instead and look at what's new in the world of deep, melodic and progressive house, and mix them together in to a slow, hazy days of summer mix. If you know me, I'm somewhat of a music maximalist, I love tracks that have lots of textures and colo...

So last weekend was the amazing and huge London Pride - 1.5 million people took part - And so, I've taken my favourite tracks from my pride playlist... And decided to set myself a challenge! This is a cold mix - A mix done without any preparation or "warm-up". The challenge here is to create an effective and unique transition to each track live but I've only got the length of each track to decide...

This week, I've rediscovered my love of Deep House, and all the wonderful varieties of it. It fits nicely in-between my love of contemporary classical, progressive house and melodic house. So this mix features some of the latest releases from Anjunadeep, and label resident Rezident features heavily here too. Listen out for Rufus Du Sol, the classic deep track Serenity by Popof, and some of best fe...

So the last couple of weeks have been incredibly busy; but I managed to stop by the Mighty Hoopla festival in London and had an absolute blast! Definitely booking again for next year. Meanwhile, the amazing Nick Charles of Gaydio and Loud Brown Gays podcast, sent me a mix for me to give constructive feedback... Which I did, but then I thought... What if I were to take his playlist and make my own...

So, it turned out that I had perhaps over-planned Episode 16, as I had 26 tracks selected for that episode... And only 15 made the cut. So here, I present to you some of my favourite latest vocal trance, euphoric dance hits that didn't make the first cut. Also, see if you can spot the Progressive House track that I sneakily smuggled in. If you know me well, it won't be hard to spot as it's by one...

So this, one of my partners in clubbing crime challenged me to come up with a trance mix, celebrating the best of Vocal and Euphoric Trance... A bit of a promo of the sort of sound you'll hear if you head to Unicorn London on the 4th of June at the amazing E1 Club. This mix starts out pretty easy listening and then gently slides into the harder genre of euphoric house - But not too much of course,...

It's Eurovision week! So in honour of this megalith of the music and entertainment industry, I've dedicated this week's episode to all of my favourite Eurovision tracks of the last few years - 25 of the most upbeat pop and dance numbers to set the party mood for Saturday's grand finale! I'm going to have a little get together to watch it, are you?

After a busy weekend helping out the guys at legendary London nights Trough and Unicorn, I decided to go slightly different with this set, inspired by the night Meat at Dalston Superstore I attended few weeks ago; I've decided to expand my knowledge of funk, disco and a bit of nu-synth as well. Although old habits die hard and I end up wandering back into more familiar domain of Electronica toward...

Two weeks ago unfortunately whilst I was out cycling, I was hit by a car and hospitalised - Luckily my injuries were not too serious but they are still taking a while to recover from... Many thanks to everyone who reached out upon hearing of the accident and all of the well wishes I've received has made me feel much better! I'm glad I am now well enough to start DJing again, so here is the much la...

It's my birthday this week and for something I special, I decided to crawl back through 10 years of playlists and pick some of my very favourite tracks and mix them together. A challenging mix with most tracks only having radio versions available, but I think it pulled together in the end! This is the first mix of a pair, I'm hoping to record the second part later this week and then create one mas...

This mix has been very much like my week... It started off slow but it built into something fantastic. I hope the positive vibes continue for everyone listening to this mix; it features some of my favourite songs of the moment. 1. Anriu - Lost Lands (Extended Mix) - 00:00:00 2. Tinlicker & Nathan Nicholson - Always Will feat. Nathan Nicholson (Extended Mix) - 00:04:20 3. Ilias Katelanos - Days of...

So life can get in the way of the music sometimes, so apologies for skipping an episode last week - I was actually midway through learning new DJ software and wasn't happy with my skill level quite yet to publish something new to the podcast. This week itself has been a little bit bumpy, so here's a ramp up mix from deep house to melodic, progressive house as we pick ourselves up again. It's been...
