    Ah ha, I quit two weeks ago man... The owner told me no more hip hop at the start of the night, then 20 minutes into my set I was playing that Lou Donaldson track 'Who's Making Love', and the barmaid shouted at me to turn the music off. I did it thinking there was a fight breaking out or something, she then just goes " Yeah that song was shit". I had literally cut everything off so it was just silent, and she was there asking me to play "something like Footloose".
  • Sep 17 2008 12:36 PM

    Yo, 2nd mix is done. Even shorter than the first so you might wanna hold out for the third which is a respectable length for once.


    Peace

    Yo, just stuck a new track up in case you didn't notice... Not expectin a review, just letting you know!

    Peace, hope you're good.
  • Aug 19 2008 4:01 PM

    Yeah, I know I know, the first two are real short, but I'll step it up a bit with the next one. I'll keep you posted if you want.


    But yeah, don't reckon the Dragon would fuck with CDJs, but wouldn't mind the Street. Right now I'm still fucking up a lot and building a collection, so playing somewhere where no-one's listening to you has its benefits...
  • Aug 14 2008 1:07 PM

    Nice one, hope it don't disappoint you too much. I know what Alex means though, the first one is pretty commercial...

    But yeah, the black market is baaad. I don't think there's one person in there who likes what I play. The barmaid shouted 'YOU'RE SHIT' at me last week in between songs.
    How's the artwork coming along? (That is such a bent way of asking)
  • Jun 26 2008 12:31 AM

    ha yeah i was just there to see some work from mates at my old college, hastings. im at lcc now. yeah fuse is next door from hastings in bexhill. Some really nice work at the show, really impressed by brighton, nottingham trent and csm.

  • Jun 25 2008 11:47 PM

    cheers for the addage man

    think i had a flick through your portfolio at D&Ad mate.
    was very nice

    hiya. made it down yesterday to brompton hall, think it was soon after you'd gone. really impressed with the bournemouth stall.
    great to see your books, the watercolours for Bitches art are real nice, plus funny seeing my Moog dream interpreted into 2D!

    Got a bit tired of so many visuals after a while, too much graphic design with mock adverts, would have prefered more illustrations.


    Back to the positives, thanks for fine array of the postcards,the oval/heart shaped patchwork one is particularly pleasing. Look forward to seeing more of the work.

  • Jun 19 2008 12:10 PM

    I plan to go every year. Just sometimes I dont actually get there.


    You exhibiting? I'll try and make it if so.

  • Jun 14 2008 1:22 PM

    ta for the shook comments, issue 3 augustish,
    best for your wkend

    easy, oodles of respect/praise due for the Bitches artwork.
    great shade and superb capturing of Ahu, looking forward to having that 12!

    is your dream project still going? i've had some odd ones of late...
