J5 DANCIN MACHINE ~ DANIEL CRAWFORD REMIX *KON EDIT

Sun Goddess

This song was a really important song for me during my late teens / early 20's. As a young man trying to find himself, it seemed like I was off to a good start,except in one area of my life. Relationships... I mean, we're talking boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, but still it was a part of my life that involved a lot of unnecessary "GAMES".  I'm sure I'm not alone...ENJOY.

Welcome.

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!
