"TB Sheets" is a  nine and a half minute psychedelic R&B opus.  Irish lyricist Van Morrison narrates the true story about a girl with whom he once lived suffering from tuberculoses. It’s a slow burn of a song.  A slinky lead guitar slides over a constant beat and atmospheric organ which winds you up in a feverish, Otis Redding-style delirium. The song first appeared on Van Morrison's debut solo record, 1967's Blowin' Your Mind.

Van Morrison - TB Sheets (RocknRolla Soundsystem Edit)

We waste no time
To leave ourselves
Its no big deal
Thats what i tell myself
Big break it will
Come soon i hope
But if im 
waiting for you to leave me
We waste our time
On foolish things
She smiles at me 
I try it for myself
Oh i think 
She’s on to me
I believe shed leave me
If she knew what was on my mind

My Baby Just Cares For Me (The Reflex Edit)

Made an official remix of "Lost As I Am" by the fancy Superwalkers @superwalkers - something different than you might expect from me :)

When my good friend asked to do a remix for their project, I saw a great challenge. The original track had an awesomely layered progression, not much to improve there. So I sought the value of my remix in emphasizing the beauty of being lost...

Watch the awesome video going with the original track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83HeLCleGKY

Superwalkers - Lost As I Am (Geck-o Remix)

Christine and the Queens - Saint Claude (Tourist Remix)

Original is only two and a half minutes long so I've extended and rearranged the instrumental parts. Too many great versions of this standard to mention but Salena's is up there with the best of them for me.

Salena Jones - Summertime (Mark Wayward Edit)

Hawa - Dance

More like recreation of the situation ...

I spent the four decades that I’ve waffled on about below, soaking up all the musical goodness that informs my sets today. I was always record collecting, but never thought about DJing, but that would all change when I visited San Francisco in 92. Little did I know that I wouldn’t be coming back for 11 glorious years. There I met Eddie O’Callaghan (former co-promoter of the Garden Festival in Croatia) and together we put on many club nights and events, the flagship being the Bulletproof Boat Parties. 

During those years Bulletproof welcomed countless DJ’s and bands to it’s parties including Mark Farina - DJ Shadow – Galliano - DIY – Gilles Peterson – Marquess Wyatt - Rockers HiFi - Derek Carter – Coldcut - Wicked – DJ Food – Frankie Feliciano – Greyboy and the Greyboy Allstars to name a few. I also had a residency at Mushroom Jazz playing alongside Mark Farina, DJ Is, Thomas (Then Wicked, now Rub n Tug) and George (Behind the Post Office)

When I returned to the UK in 2003 I pretty much retired from DJing, but worked for Eddie at the Magnet nightclub in Liverpool Booking the DJ and Band nights. When Eddie moved out to Croatia in 2005 to plant the seeds for the Garden Festival with Nick Colgan I went out to give them a hand and became a Resident DJ at the Garden Festival for many years. I have also been a guest at various gigs around the UK including Mr Scruff’s Tea Tent, The Devil’s Jukebox and The One Deck Sessions at Electrik 

If music be the food of love... play on brother!
