"Hey there fans and friends
It’s been 5 weeks since my last blog update, but I’ve got a good reason for that…
This month saw me doing some extensive travelling, spending a lot of time in studio working on some tracks for my forthcoming album, and the launch of my latest project, CROSSROADS , which is my new weekly radio show.
Keep on reading for the details.
GIGS
November was a busy month for me… not that I’m complaining.. I love travelling, getting out to new places, and meeting new people.
My schedule included stops in Belfast for my Northern Ireland debut, at Shadow Rooms in Carrickfergus. The following week, I travelled to Malta, to perform at the I LOVE MUSIC event, and this weekend passed, saw me travelling deep into Russia, for a gig @ Ryzhy Yozh (The Red Hedgehog) in Zlatoust.
It was really cool to visit Zlatoust, because I was the the first international DJ to perform in the town, and everyone was really excited to have myself and my manager over.
One of the gigs in Russia, @ RK Academy in Kurgan, was cancelled due to a “Swine-Flu” outbreak in the area, We’re in talks with the local promoter to return as soon as possible.
STUDIO
It’s been FULL STEAM AHEAD in the studio this month, where I’ve been working on a new single, and some tracks for my forthcoming album on Black Hole Recordings. I also finished a new remix of the Dash Berlin featuring Emma Hewitt hit , “Waiting” (Check out the official music video from Armada – Link below)
