    It’s 2018 and cassettes are being produced…

    …and you know what? I’m totally fine with that. As part of this year’s Cassette Store Day celebrations a couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of contributing a track to the amazing Beanietapes Continuous Play compilation which collects together some of the highlights of the Oxford music scene on to a lovely cassette WITH Japanese style Obi Strip! How cool is that?!?!?!

    The launch at Truck Store over the weekend in conjunction with the cassette release of Max Blansjaar’s new EP was a lot of fun and I even got to do a cheeky little acoustic rendition of “So What” from Old Ideas 2. A massive thank you to Jules and Ben from Candy Says for having me!

    Now to dig out the minidisc player…

    Old Ideas 1 Preview Mix (Live at Truck Store 05/10/17)

    To promote the release of “Old Ideas” I did a live DJ set at Truck Store last week. Like most of my sets it’s a bit rough around the edges but hey, what’s new.

    The “Let’s GDPR the night away” mix (June 17)

    The other night I played my longest ever set at a private party in London. It was fun. I played for about 2 1/2 hours but annoyingly the recording stopped after 90mins. Oh well. Here’s most of the set for your listening pleasure. Download link and tracklisting after the jump.

    It’s fair to say that I was pretty obsessed with Netflix’s Luke Cage last year and in particular the amazing score by Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad. So I made this little mix tape using re-edits of some of the pieces from the score and some pretty legendary hip hop vocals. Streaming and download links below.
