What a busy year! The first without Trash, which bowed out at the end of 2006 after ten amazing years but also the first for our new monday party Durrr, which since January has gone from strength to strength, hosting key early performances from Late Of The Pier, Foals, These New Puritans, Dan Deacon and more as well as mind blowing live electronic performances from the likes of Soulwax and Simian Mobile Disco and DJ sets from Justice, Erol Alkan and Klaxons. Towards the end of the year I also started a new, more disco led party with Nadia Ksaiba called Say Yes, the opening night of which was a truly joyous affair.

Residencies aside i played all across Europe, The US and Canada and finally got around to assembling my various pieces of analogue gear, odd toys, effects and other instruments into a cohesive studio, located in a spooky lock up in Hackney, where I remixed Chromeo, The Gossip and Kleerup and Robyn's 'With Every Heartbeat' which by accident rather than design led me to do two things i never thought i'd do, remix a number 1 single and have one of my mixes played on the terraces of Ibiza (apparently).

I also spent a good deal of 2007 on tour with Whitey, both playing keyboards in his live band in the spring and in winter as half of a double header DJ/Live tour of the US and Canada which involved Mr Whitey and myself performing stripped down live electronic 'club' versions of his tracks with various synths/drum machines mixed in and out of a DJ set as if they were records. It was experimental and lots of fun for it with no two shows the same.

And 2008? It's already looking hectic, with trips to South America and the US on the cards, my forthcoming remix of the Teenagers' 'Starlett Johansson' already gaining play from the likes of 2manyDJs, Riton, Erol Alkan and Riotous Rockers months before it's release, as well as live shows playing keyboards for Whitey and Kleerup and working on some original material in my Hackney bunker. Phew!

Listen to a mix from 03/12/07 HERE

Later this month i will be embarking on an American DJ tour but with the added twist of a live element in collaboration with the man they call Whitey to support the US release of his 'Wrap It Up' EP.

The idea being that it will be a DJ set that also dips in and out of live, stripped down, stretched out and messed up electronic versions of Whitey tracks using drum machines, synths, samples and vocals. It's going to be a recipe for party madness or total disaster, either way it will be an interesting experiment and a great night out so come say hello!

Kleerup's amazing 'With Every Heartbeat' with Robyn is now sitting pretty at NUMBER ONE in the charts here in the UK, congratulations!

The bad/good news though is that to make way for the UK release my remix of the track from it's original release last year has been taken off itunes and as a result is now free to download from my page, so go snap it up!

Thanks to all of you who have asked me when and where they can get these mixes, the good news is that they are all on sale now. The 'Parentheses' mix is currently vinyl only but the others are available digitally and a 12" of the 'Big Guns' mix is forthcoming on the excellent Kanine Records of New York.
