Gig Updates
After a short bout of man-flu I’m back on my feet and feel a little more inspired to update. This ones a quick one on all the chances you’ll get to catch my sounds coming to you live.
First off, bloom!
This one’s a residents special and the last chance you’ll get to come down for a boogie till the cold-ass winter’s on its way out in March of next year. Put it in your diary; Friday 21st at the Shakespeare in Derby.
Set times to be confirmed but I’ll be on after 10, hopefully a little later towards prime time so I can get on a heavy 3 deck mix-up. Expect a retrospective look on all my fave deep/tech and neuro tracks this year.
Plus, the world will most likely end, and its free all night so no excuses.
Next up is Basstrap:
On the same night as bloom (due to unforeseen circumstances) I’ll be opening up for Annix from 9pm till 10 covering the lighter side of dnb.
Expect the best of this years liquid with a deep tip to get the party started.
£4 in all night.
No matter what your taste in dnb there’ll be something for you this friday 21st December on Sadler gate.
Finally, you can catch my last show this year on Livity FM from 7:30 pm (gmt) on Tuesday 18th December at: http://www.livityfmradio.com/
I’ll be on stream2, halfway down the homepage.
Tune in or come down, or both!

Livity FM Mixes
A little update from the radio world!
Livity FM has been going strong for a long time building on the premise of a no fuss, no fluff radio station that delivers real, quality music to the people. Theres a great community thats been built on these simple, but rock solid foundations and I’m proud to be part of it.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to give a big shout out to RED; admin at Livity FM for all the support with my show!
Anyway, I digress. Since November I’ve been running a weekly show and have built up quite a large amount of mixes which I think need a bit more visibility on my part!

Howitzer – Lost Summer Mix
Ez All,
After a bit of a faff with soundcloud auto-blocking this mix I’ve managed to get it up there!
An ode to my lost summer in the studio. Hiding from the sun & the rain, crafting beats, missing out on some incredible festivals abroad. Its all been worth it though and now were coming into the student season I hope it’ll pay off!
But I digress, here are some of my fave tunes at the moment crafted into a journey through floaty liquid beats and into some harder tech/neuro territory. Some old, mostly new, all first class vibrations. Enjoy 🙂
