Duduk and Future Sounds

Its remix-time again – finally getting cracking on my mix of Antena vs Ian Carry – “Duduk”, more as it happens. Not really the place for it here since this is my site rather than the Oven Ready one but I have to mention just how fired up I am about the forthcoming releases on my label. J-Punch – “Red Blood” and Crystal Company – “Shock The Beat” are shaping up very nicely indeed, while coming up there’s Korovin feat. Keith Thompson – “I Live For Now” and Openair feat. Gram’ma Funk – “Hi Roller”. Also looking further into the future there’s Pimenov – “Rockstar”, DJ Romeo – “Inside”, Frost – “Save Me” (the follow-up to the massive “Wait For Me”) and much more in the pipeline…

After a false start due to the London bombings, then the big security alerts again yesterday, we were beginning to think that Timo Garcia may have been jinxed, but the Berwick Street Launch party did eventually happen, and I’ve got the hangover to prove it. Big thanks to Grayson Shipley from Deepgroove who leant over just in the nick of time to flick a switch and sort out the non-functioning CDJ-1000 right at the start of my rather shaky set – cheers bro, I was in a flap :) Anyway, the tunes seemed to go down well, particularly Openair – “Hi Roller” (Thomas Gold Remix), Thomas Schumacher – “Yara” and Pimenov – “Rockstar”…

… and good luck to Timo Garcia for his first ever single release!

Just got back from a marathon weekend in Estonia and Russia – it was all good – Friday in Parnu for Club Tallinn, Saturday in St.Petersburg for a boat party and Sunday in Tallinn for the House Arena at the Sundance festival… Big ups to all the peeps I hung out with: Katya (Plastique tour manager and ear guard), Raymond “Rastaman” Baaklini, Nadja (tequila and blue juice babe/mentalist), Widenski (perpetually tired Macadam head honcho and Prive manager), J-Dot P (Swedish power house DJ), Dimix and Illi (the ever-smiling Belgian contingent), James Mowbray & Nicky (speechless on national TV!), Daniel Achilles (world famous Swedish percussionist and drei-ecke virtuoso), Jay & Kati (the Finnish/Bulgarian posse) and all the others I’ve failed to mention in my over-tired haze… The lovely Illi filmed the set on Sunday night so will upload some clips when she sends the tape over (and I figure out how to do it!)
