You wait an age for a decent local venue to provide your night out with top-flight DJ's and dance-acts, and then suddenly your world virtually implodes due to the A listers on the billing each and every week.
I'm talking about a new night, at a new venue in Bournemouth, which is exploding with talent (both female and musical) every friday night from NOW!
Bedbug @ Crank is the place to be if you want to catch the world's premier DJ's and dance producers doin' their thing. Seriously, I doubt any other provincial town has weekly billing like this:
28th Sep - Armand Van Helden
5th Oct - Axwell
12th Oct - D Ramirez and Mark Knight (OMG!)
19th Oct - Steve Angello
26th Oct - Seb Fontaine & Dirty South
2nd Nov - Sebastian Ingrosso
9th Nov - Pete Tong
16th Nov - The Shapeshifters & The Beatthiefs
23rd Nov - Sander Kleinenberg
30th Nov - Above & Beyond
7th Dec - Micky Slim, Dave Spoon & Jon Gurd
Hats off to Bedbug and the Crank-ies for sorting out these mind-blowing events. My tip would be not to miss D. Ramirez & Mark Knight spinning their own creations, or the opportunity to see Oz-wonderkid Dirty South make a very rare appearance in the UK.

:: New Mixes Online ::
As the summer season wraps and the temperature starts to drop there's only one thing on my mind. Dust!
I've got loads of new tunes to get through, as well as a stack of emails, before even thinking about getting my record bag sorted, or working on some new productions! I've been away a lot recently and my studio is a complete tip! Not like me and my obsessive compulsive streak at all! So, no new creations until I sort out this mess.
Oh well, whilst I get the Dyson to work, why not visit my 'Downloads' section and grab some of my recent mash-ups and remixes. I've just added my house remix of ABBA's 'Dancing Queen', entitled the 'Anybody Could Be That Guy Remix'. I've had some really cool feedback already and luckily no snotty letter from any Swedish lawyers.
Also up for grabs is my electro re-working of the 80's classic 'I Just Died In Your Arms' by the brilliant Cutting Crew. This managed to get the thumbs up from founder/lead singer Nick Van Eede, so it's as close to a legal release as I'll ever get!
I've also added the Axwell vs. Roger Sanchez (ft Armand Van helden and N'dea Davenport) mash-up that has been getting a lot of exposure. Enjoy!
Feedback always welcome.
Right,where's my feather duster!?

:: In The Mix & On The Beat ::
As our modern lives place us for longer and longer in front of our computers, why not have some great music to accompany you whilst you click 'n' surf. Global internet radio station BEAT 365 is a project that I've had the pleasure to be involved with since its earliest conception, so I was delighted to do a live session for them last friday night.
A 30 minute segment of my live mix is available as a download. It includes some very, very upfront material that has yet to get UK airplay!
Make sure you give BEAT 365 a go. It's a wicked station, running on zero funds, so please give them some support by logging on.
Enjoy!
