The Vocal Booth Radio Station Launch
2024 saw the end of an era as the home of my Radio show Pressure Radio closed its doors after decades. Andy Ward picked up the torch and created Vocal Booth Radio the station with over 90 DJ’s on rotation. Launching on Jan 1st 2025 my first show was on launch day. I must say its all come together very nicely and was an absolute pleasure to have a show on day one.
My 1st show was recorded and you can listen back to it below
The Get Down – Edinburgh
One or twice a year a promoter asks me to play and states you have a free hand to play whatever you want across the board. The Get Down in Edinburgh was one of these. Add to that an absolutely fantastic crowd that truly know the music and went with all the directions I went made this party very special. The energy at the end was crazy! The set was not recorded however after a ridiculous amount of positive feedback on the night I decided to recreate the set for all those that attended.

Pre Ibiza Pride Mix
Hi I was putting together some music for my 2 x 5 hours sets in Ibiza in a couple of weeks, got carried away did mix and hit record. 3 hours of the flavour I play in the wonderful streets of the old town. A little underground but also some obvious and maybe even commercial! When I first did this party a few years ago I fast realised I needed to adjust my usual sound and hated the thought of that but honestly it is now one of the highlights of my DJ year. Ibiza, Old Town, 2 x 5 hour sets, amazin

A special 2 hour show featuring the music of UK (Scottish) DJ and producer Craig Smith, I have stated many times Craig is one of my favourite DJ’s and I am also a big fan of the music he makes so it seems very fitting to feature a show of his music and give a little acknowledgement and respect to the talented, humble a nice guy Craig is.

Soul on the Canal Side – Basement House Set
So as per my previous post I closed out the terrace and we all moved downstairs into the basement at Grow. Great small room and on the night had a wicked vibe, One of those rooms that you know could be special, I was on a high already so just wanted to play proper deep and underground house music. I think I delivered that and still had a full floor at closing. Enjoy
Live at Soul on the Canal Side – Terrace Set
This was a huge amount of fun! The Mucho Soul team invited me to play for them, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect as I had never played at Grow in Hackney before. I had no idea what musical direction to go in. I was asked to close the Terrace and the club so knew I need to be well prepared. We arrived early to mingle and soak up the vibe and other DJ’s. I admit as most of the time I had no idea what I was actually going to play until I selected my first track. Strangely enough that turned o

The Revolve Radio Show 93 – A personal mix
Hi All, hope you are well?
This weeks Revolve showcased a 2 hour section of a mix I did a couple of years ago, recorded when I first got the news that it was unlikely Mandy would recover and the cancer had won. Feeling devastated I went home and did the only thing I could to get through and played music. I played for around 8 hours straight that night, very emotional. I did record it but only managed to capture 4 hours due to the stick being full and in my mindset had not thought to check it. I

Live at Vocal Booth Weekender 2022
Hi All, this set was a bit special and close to my heart, I have attended and DJ’ed at the Vocal Booth Weekender since it started, I even renewed my wedding vows at the event! Due to Amandas cancer and Covid I had to miss a the last few years and in that time the event moved to a new home. This was my first return and as such felt like a new chapter for myself on a personal level as well as the event itself. I was asked what sort of time I would like to play and as such chose an early poolside

The Revolve Radio Show 72
Hi All continuing the Revolve Radio Shows live and podcasts (after a break of not uploading any) this weeks show was a rocky start due to corrupting my main USB stick, I built some new releases onto a spare stick whole starting the show and featured new house music I have picked up over the last few weeks.
A new larger stick has been ordered so will have the job of rebuilding completely in time for the first Bump N Hustle party of the year this coming Sunday in Bournemouth, I look forward too s
Amanda’s Day and more
Hi everyone
Firstly apologies for not uploading mixes and writing more on this site for way too long. Everyone that reads here knows me and knows my situation over the last 2 years. I have struggled and still continue to do so as I go through this journey of loss and grief. It has been very difficult to write anything here since Amanda passed away in November 2021 and as such have been putting this off. Being completely honest its also in part laziness as I have tried to focus on other things,
