FAST AND FURIOUS!

That's the only way I can describe my life in the fast lane at the moment, so fast I never get the opportunity to reflect and that can put anyone on a downer. Don't get me wrong I would not swap my life for anyone else's but shit its passing far too quickly for my liking!

The reason I'm harping on about this shit is because I've recently been involved in a few amazing situations which I feel needed documenting straight away but because I'm always on the move time just goes. Firstly last Saturday's Retro at Trees, after all the shite that has happened there, the massive effort by everyone concerned in getting the place back open, the stress in dealing with the operational side (thanks Adam and co), the huge amount of wasted time and cost ... and then BANG! along came Saturday, one of the best yet, it was very real, pure and simply outstanding and an absolute pleasure to be part of. I had a chance to record something on this site after my Pacha Classics gig the following night, absolutely knackered I had to mention the FAMILY feeling on a Retro Chat post just before slipping into a deep sleep and I fell asleep with a warm feeling and a smile on my face - bit emotional? Damned right, what a night.

As I mentioned in that post, there is a sad side to this situation, sometime in the very near future it WILL come top an end and yet to be confirmed I believe we have SIX Retro's at Trees left including NYE so hey lets make the fucking most of those remaining nights and lets leave with the best memories of our lives eh.

I can't wait for my next visit for my birthday bash on Sat 9th August, the hairs on my arms stand up every time I think of it, counting the days people.

Then when I fly to Ibiza and play at Pacha Classics every two weeks its absolutely rammed and Im talking main room going right off - just amazing. But nothing compared to the Thursday night just gone, out of the blue, Sanchez banging it out in the main room at Pacha and then BOSH! one of the best Retro nights EVER in the Global Room, rammed full with familiar faces from all Retro UK events alongside many new faces from different nationalities all going ape to the Retro sound ... It just aint getting any better, or is it? I'm loving it, you guys are lovin it, shit we're all lovin it and thank you all so much for doin that thing, it's really indescribable.

Thats about it for now except to say sorry about Digital this friday even though it really was NOT our fault, I know how many had made big plans for this event but it was really out of our hands by as late as last Thursday, an apology by Digital would be nice under the circumstances even if it was a genuine mistake on both parts.

Can you please try and support the Retro team at LIQUID in OLDHAM this Saturday, its our launch date there and Ricky, our Ben and the fabulous Toe Knee Walker would just love it if you came along. Good luck guys.

Guess what, ME ... I'm taking a well earned Weekend off, putting my tired old drub ends up and looking forward to doin fuck all for a few days - BLISS! Looking forward tho to seeing you all at Pacha on Monday night and LOVEFUNKY next Friday (July 25th) at the sumptuous Empire in Middlesbrough.

Finally, we are all working hard to resolve the messy situation regarding the big question on everybody's lips in Magaluf - where the fook is Retro on Tuesdays over there? Answers very soon - we hope.

Remember though - MUSIC IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEMS

TOO RIGHT!!
