What a festival! Blossom 2022 was off the hook! I was honoured to play on the new Undergrowth Stage created by James Hastings which was built magnificently.  Provided the exact ambience I was after to share this musical journey on Saturday afternoon to close the stage.  It was great to watch people grooving along, smiling and being present with one another.  Big shout out to the two Sophies from All the Lights WA (link below) for jumping up for a performance too!

Red Lion Live @ Harvest Festival Set 2011

Time to celebrate many of the great female vocalists in drum and  bass with an hour of liquid rollers and drum and bass love songs.

Part 1 of 6 hours of musical bliss.

Best of Female Vocalists Drum and Bass Mix ( Part 1 )

Two of the heavy weight artists that took the breaks movement to the next level would have to be Rennie Pilgrem and BLIM. Rennie considered the godfather of breaks and BLIM with his own unique style as a producer. Both artists providing various anthems over the years and both pushing the sound of breaks to the masses. Where BLIM is these days i do not know but Rennie is back in the studio producing a new album during the lockdown and believe it or not he is releasing it on the legendary TCR Records.

This mix was recorded live at the Breakspoll Awards back in 2005 and it has Rennie & BLIM going back to back with also the vocal talents of MC Chickaboo.

Thank you so much for listening to my mixes.
For over 30 years I have been playing, what I believe is, quality music that is packed with soul, energy, diversity, melody, and a funky groove.

I have an eclectic taste, which is always evolving, but one thing remains, a passion for making people feel great with a customised music selection.

Starting in 1991 I was drawn into the UK rave culture and became an immediate lover of the energy of it's futuristic music. 

Happy hardcore and drum and bass is where it began but I never really loved jungle so moved to uplifting house, trance and hard house in my early 20s. This style had the power and uplifting melodies that I always have loved. 

After a few early gigs in London playing at Sunny Side Up and Ghost, my friend DJ Basil and I established a local monthly party called Ballistic which allowed us to play loud music to our friends until dawn. The night ran for 6 years and was always fun.  I was lucky enough to also play regularly in my home town of Folkestone at The Music Factory, Capel Court, Lydd Watersports and La Parisienne.

I moved to Australia in 2002 with the intention of staying for 12 months...and stayed 10 years!

I played trance for a couple of years but then got bored of that sound and was left wondering what would fill the gap. After spinning drum and bass vinyl in my garage to keep me engaged, I ended up playing house music with my friends and started developing a taste for the different genres including progressive, electro, jackin and then eventually tech and deep house. 

Sydney's clubbing scene created the opportunity for me to become the resident for the unique Shipwrecked and Gorgeous events, Bondi's The Bucket List plus bookings for the legendary High Flyers and Monkey Tennis parties. 

I moved to Bali in 2011 where I ended up being a resident DJ for the world class Karma Beach Club, at Karma Kandara, through to Sept 2012, playing over 100 times on their incredible beach along with 50 other parties for other venues.

Returning to Sydney in 2014 I was the Saturday night resident DJ at Bondi Radio based in the funky Neighbourhood bar in Bondi Beach. I have also been lucky enough to play lots of unique house, rooftop, villa, clifftop, park and boat parties. I love it and am grateful for every chance to play.

Continuing my travels in 2015 created opportunities to play a few times at Goa's best house music event Leopard Valley, and some sets in London, followed by a dozen gigs for Sublime in Guatemala's beautiful Lake Atitlan and a cheeky set in southern Mexico. But every New Years Eve I am blessed to be able to return to Sydney to play major events on the harbour for the biggest fireworks event possible, and this year will be my 8th year in a row. I was travelling in Sri Lanka with big plans for 2020 but like everybody else had to hit pause...but not on the music :) I recorded 200 mixes during the 2 years i stayed in the UK and now have returned to Bali to take up my residency at Karma Beach Club and picking up a new residency at the Twin Fin after party for Single Fin every Sunday in surf mecca Uluwatu. I love it as much as I ever have,, the music is so good, I just cant stop :) So expect new mixes every month covering all of the styles I love.

SoundCloud is a dream as it allows me to share some of the brilliant music being produced around the world by people we will often never know, and who will probably never be rich from it, but through their imagination and technical abilities, create hugely positive energy on dancefloors and in peoples bodies, in countless numbers. A big shout out to the very many talented DJs and energetic Promoters who I have been lucky to work with and become friends with over the years. Thanks for your support.
