Recorded live at The Tunnel, Milan on February 5th 2011.

We played two records each all night, Andrew first then me, until the last half an hour of part two where it's one each. I travelled by train with a kidney infection and without a passport for 13 hours each-way to make this one and I'm glad I did. It was a fantastic night, so thanks to Andrew, Diego, Lele and everyone who was there dancing like a mad thing.

Part two coming soon.

I love warming up and I love being a resident.  My first 'proper' DJ gigs as far as I'm concerned came when I was asked to join the crew of 'Come Shake The Whole' in London back at the turn of the millennium - what ever it is I know about DJing I learned from those nights cold starting warming up and following on from a heap of amazing live acts we had play (Hot Chip, Mocky, Zongamin and many more). When I left London for Berlin I kept flying back for Come Shake The Whole - I wouldn't miss it for anything. We even did one at Watergate.

In the last couple of years I've lived on the Northern edge of Mitte, just a hop and a skip from Stattbad Wedding and I've been playing there regularly enough that they asked me to be a resident. I get to play first for three or four hours, setting my own pace, trundling around whatever music I like as long as I prep the crowd for the guests - much as I enjoy my 'proper job' as a peak-timer in other people's clubs - it's my dream DJ job all over again and even better it's only a 10 minute walk home.

All things change and my wife's career means that very soon my family will be moving to London. Though I won't be a Berlin resident, I hope to remain one at Stattbad. Perhaps a little less often than currently but as often as I can. By way of thanks to everyone who's been to see me there - not to mention Julia and everyone at Stattbad for having me - here's the first couple of hours of my final slot there as a Berliner, if not ever.

Here's a sneak peak at a brand new remix for Glenn Morrison.  Eight minutes of cosmic arpeggiated techno wonderment or something. It sounds great loud anyway.

Formation - Powerful People (Ewan Pearson Remix)

The first two hours of a four hour set recorded from 12-4 on January 13th at Stattbad Wedding in Berlin.  Starts at 95BPM or so and slowly ratchets up the tempo. Was a really great night so thanks to everyone who came. Part two to follow.

And here's part two of that Stattbad Wedding set.

In the process of making my Maas album for Soma some twelve or thirteen years ago I came up with some stuff which didn't quite fit its second-wave Detroit template. A bit more downbeat, certainly much more sampladelic, with a nod to the likes of Shadow and the balearic stuff I'd loved a decade earlier, I released it as the Chroma EP by World of Apples for Giant 45 in 1998. Over the next three years I made one more EP ('The Days Are Just Packed') (ever-prolific Pearson), quite a few remixes for other people (including an unreleased one for Cirque Du Soleil  - forgive me, I was young and needed the money - and Nelly Furtado's first single 'I'm Like A Bird') and a couple of one-off tracks for compilations. I gave it up shortly afterwards when 'the new wave of chill-out' started to get traction (I tend to jump off bandwagons as soon as I realise I'm on one) and when I heard Fout Tet's 'Pause' which had done everything I aspired to do next (mining my childhood as the son of a folkie), only much better than I ever could.
 
Periodically, people ask about World of Apples, about whether I'll ever resurrect it, or make those EPs available digitally, as they've long been out of circulation. A couple of the tracks - "The Cows At Jodrell Bank" and my remix of "Diary of A Lost Girl" were compiled quite a bit, another ("Fifteen Months") formed the basis for a Jeb Loy Nichols track called "Say Goodbye To Christopher") but most of the others are impossible to find now. In lieu of me deciding to do anything about that, here's a World of Apples mix I put together for a then-new friend, Ivan Smagghe, to broadcast on his wonderful show "test" on Paris' Radio Nova in March 2001. An edited version also went out on Coldcut's Solid Steel show not long afterward. It has dated, but there's some nice stuff on there I reckon, including several original World of Apples tracks. No listing or downloads for obvious reasons and I don't know how long this will be able to be up for. So please enjoy it while it is.
