Playlist: Funky Summer (Vol. 1)
It was meant to be a DJ set in the summer sun but the rain kicked in that afternoon, a storm, add to that it was the very start of the year and people were looking for any excuse not to be out, a thunderstorm being just perfect. So I played a bunch of tunes […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Funky Summer – The Best Music In The World, BBQ Edition, January 5, 2018, San Fran
Well it wasn’t BBQ weather. It was barely summer. And it wasn’t really funky – though I tried. It was pretty much just me and the bar-staff. It’s always a punt this time of year, and when the weather turned from sunshine to storm in the middle of the day that sealed the fate really. […]Archive

It was the Intergen Christmas Party – and an 80s theme, everyone looked great, the room was dressed up too, I was the DJ. An all-vinyl set, some background to start, a few bits between the band breaks and then aArchive

It’s always lovely to be back at The Golden Dawn and playing some records – as I was just the other day, on Friday night, early shift – 5pm-8pm, setting up the evening, sending off the afternoon. I decided I’d try to play all 7s. And that was generally what happened. A couple of newer […]Archive

Recently the Spines released their new album Epidural (excellent) and I was on hand to play some tunes in between the bands that night. It was a great night, a good fun set and so I wanted to share it. Perfect for the start – or end – of your Friday or Saturday night I […]Archive

Playlist: She-Bop 2 – The Best Tunes From The Best Women In Music (DJ Set)
Last week I played a bunch of records in a bar, only songs by or featuring women. I’d done it earlier in the year and it was time for another run. A pretty cool set of songs I reckon. So I decided to share them with you just as I did with the earlier DJ […]Archive

Playlist: She-Bop (DJ Set)
Earlier in the year I played a DJ set called She-Bop – it was simple really, just play a bunch of tunes by or featuring women. It was a great night – from slow, low-key beginnings to a big, long, loud party… Well, I’m doing it all again with She-Bop 2 so thought I’d share the […]Archive

DJ Setlist: San Fran presents “The Greatest Music In The World”, San Fran, Friday, March 24, 2017
I had this idea that the “Greatest Music In The World” was all the soul, funk and R’n’B, maybe a little touch of blues and jazz – if I could only listen to that for the rest of my life I’d be happy. Turns out it makes for a decent setlist too I reckon. It […]Archive

DJ Setlist: A Pixies Party, Meow, Friday, March 10, 2017
The idea was to put on an evening that offered some music to those that missed out on the Pixies gig and doubled as a sort of after-party. It wasn’t busy. It was not successful. But I did get to play a bunch of tunes I love – and I reckon I put together a […]Archive
