Today is the 7th anniversary of my first ever live set @ Awakenings festival in Holland. It was fun/stressful/hellish and probably the hardest i've ever worked to prepare for a set, ever!
3 months of prep, breaking down each track and recreating it on a live set up that wasn't the same as my studio, to perform at Awakenings, Monegros and a Machine party in London, it was a massive learning curve, a big step out of my comfort zone and a genuinely rewarding experience.

Here's a recording of my last practice session, recorded in my studio the day before. This has never gone public before, i hope you dig it!
