Hi again,

Here we are at the start of a new year with lots of new promises. I finished 2005 very strong with some amazing gigs. Namely, Berghaim/Panarama Bar in Berlin, The Loft in Germany, Turnmills in London, and 4 great and interesting gigs in mainland China. Then I was back to Greece to play at LUV in Athens, which was one of the best gigs I have had in Greece in sometime. See the Media section to check out the set. From Greece, I headed down to Brazil for another 4 fantastic gigs. Then it was off to Mexico City at The Continental. The Continental gig was probably the best gig of the year or at least top 3. It was a pretty magical night. I love playing in Mexico and I can’t wait to go back. Also in Mexico, just after Christmas, I played in Playa Del Carmen for the first time and then finished the year with style in Puerto Vallarta for New Years Eve. The setting was great with the party right on the beach overlooking the Pacific.

It was a long, and often grueling travel schedule in 2005 and I am glad that I made it to the end. I'm on a break now in January, recharging myself for what 2006 may bring.

I was really busy in the studio  the last half of last year and the fruits of that labor is now starting to show. Lots of new original tracks and remixes, some under a few different alias’s, so try to hunt them down and figure out which ones are mine.

I also have a handful of radio show commitments around the globe coming in January and February that I mixed at the end of last year.

Hi there,

I am a bit overdue for this update (I think I say that every month?), but the summer tour dates have finally wrapped up and I finally have the time.

There have been some fantastic gigs. Going back to July, there were 3 great gigs in Mexico (Querataro, Guadalajara, Mexico City). Mexico is one of the best places on the planet that I get to visit.  I love it there. One of my other new favorite countries is Spain. I love so much of what is going on there. There is an incredible underground scene that is thriving and bursting at the seams. I played a wicked gig in Madrid to launch the Spanish Creamfields Event. From there I moved onto what I would consider the best festival in the world, Monegros Desert Festival. This was easily the standout festy of my summer and had the most impressive line-up I have ever been a part of. Real and true underground artists only at this event and 40, 000 strong going mental in the desert sun and air.

For August, there were a lot of cool Eastern European gigs. A span of memorable gigs all throughout Hungary. Years ago, I used to only play in Budapest, but now there are nearly 10 different cities with growing club movements. It is exciting to see the first steps in these places, and more exciting to be a part of the growth. Also, in this leg were stops in Romania, Germany and back to Italy for Peter Pan. Finishing August off was a visit back to Tampa for the first time in 3 years to play DJ Three huge night called Snatch. This is easily one of the top nights that our country has to offer. Real music heads fill this club once a month to throbbing basslines and deep grooves. I am very proud to be one of the few DJs to have played there.

In September, I was off to Asia for a tour.  Part of this tour included playing 2 amazing gigs in China. China is another emerging scene that will be rivaling every other known scene in the world anyday. Apparently the clubs are full 7 nights a week, which is obviously a blessing for DJs. The crowds are accepting of the music as long as it is done well and the power and energy is constant. The crowds are embracing of everything electronic and music is no difference. Then to finish Asia, it was off Tokyo for AgeHa.

Starting October, I have just come back from a top night in Vancouver at Lotus.  I love playing at Lotus. The layout of the venue is so tight and you feel so close to the crowd. The intensity can be brilliant and you have nothing but to feed off of it.  Everyone is so friendly, from the punters to the club staff that make the whole gig one of the best of 2005.

Coming up next, I head back to Europe for gigs in London, Berlin & Barcelona. Then down to Brazil, back to China and Singapore and finishing November in Australia where this crazy yearlong tour got started.

Check out the photos and live set in the media section of the site.

Until next time,
