The dust has finally settled after Shindig Festival 2024 and reality has returned. 
Leading up to the festival I spent most of my free time writing / producing and crafting this set of unheard music only to have the cruel fates of festivals decide that a power cut less then half way into my set was to end the hard work I had put in.

Gutted does not cover how I felt when it happened, but shit happens. All I could do was pack up and make way for the next DJ and hope that the power was restored for their set as the show must go on. 

No one was to blame, just a rubbish situation made worse as this was due to be my first real set IRL since before lockdown (yep, 4 odd years in the making). Alas it was not to be.

I've now recorded the whole set, as it was meant to be for your listening enjoyment. 

A little background to this set, it was part of the Global Funk Fam Takeover of the Ghetto Funk Nightclub at Shindig Festival. The sets were 20mins long to fit in all the DJs that came together from across the globe, hence this being more of a showcase set of some of the music I have coming out this year.

Due to the length of the sets I decided to go for a Cut n Paste inspired set of never heard before music from me for the first half, and then the second half was longer tracks.

During the my set the Kurnel MC was due to join me on stage to perform the final track with live vocals, for this recording I have use the acapella from the track.

Should you want the authentic, real life version of this... Stand in a muddy puddle, poor a watering can of water on your head and then stop the playback about 8mins in and you would be close to what it was like at the time (minus the tent of smiling happy folks that were enjoying the music until it stopped).

I love the arts, and music is one of the oldest art forms known to man. There is nothing greater than discovering a new sound, and hearing the raw passion put into the sound by an emerging artist. 

Why - they are doing it for the love of it.
