Last week I had the honour and the joy of joining my friends at Pxssy Palace and BBZ London for an Isolation Boiler Room session.Move the furniture back, turn the lights down and fire up the smoke machine. This is how it goes down when we rave at home alone 😀 …
Welcome to ‘BUSHY’S QUARANTINE AND CHILL MIX’ – it’s streaming for you now on Mixcloud. From the bedroom to the bathroom, from the kitchen to your yard, you’ll find that it’s funky, soulful, jazzy and will have you dancing in no time at all. Quarantini anyone?
The full three minute interview for FREEDA EN ‘For The Record’is now available on Youtube. Drop a like if you’re feeling it. Share it if you feel inspired. Whatever you feel … Enjoy.
A short while ago (which feels like a lifetime now) I met up with the wonderful Cherrelle Redley and her razor sharp team from FREEDA to be interviewed for their gorgeous website. They have created this wonderful interview clip which achieved 13,000 views in two days of posting. I am proud of that.

A message from Mayor Andy Burnham re: United We Stream (GM) launching tonight 03/04/2020. Too exciting for words.
For my last ‘in studio’ show before the World got quarantined I was honoured to welcome the super talented, multi instrumentalist, dj, singer, producer and personification of zen – Pops Roberts to take control of my Reform Radio Takeover and this is how it sounds. Just beautiful. Enjoy. Stay safe. Stay home. Save lives. Stay connected.
LOCKDOWN 1 has me in house/tech mode. This week I took my inspiration from a Twitter / Instagram friend called Stephanie who asked when I would be doing a live stream. I made this especially for her. Life is about overcoming challenges, about never being defeated and about doing what I’m best at. Life is about disco, tech and house. Life is about living. Life is beautiful indeed.
Stay safe. Stay home. Save lives.

Some awesome news for us all at Reform Radio, as they announce their first global Ambassador … read on.
Here is a slice of pure wonderful. February’s Paulette Takeover for Reform Radio features a guest mix from the ONLY female DJ so far to EVER win the coveted DJ Top 100 award. From the iconic after hours TRADE party in London to Glitterbox, from Space to Hi Ibiza, Jo has been showing the world how it is done since 1991.

The Paulette Takeover continues apace from winter into summer every fourth Thursday from 3pm – 5pm (GMT) on Reform Radio. This week, I’ve been a busy little Manchester bee securing some ridiculously AAA-listed talent for my special guest mixes for the coming months. In keeping with my crusade since I started booking guests for my show, their styles are diverse, the roster is inclusive and each artist is a legend in their own right.
Big Weekend vibes. Without pausing for breath, I’m hopping on that train from London over to Leeds for the Flesh In Tension First Birthday party on February 15th 2020. I will be letting my wild side loose for a sleazy, freaky, FILTHY, techno, house and whatever set so be prepared – anything goes!

Then roll with me to The Pen and Pencil from 8pm – 2am for seven hours of disco, funk and soul classics that will remind you what your dancing feet are for.
Here is my first show of the year for Reform Radio and my first show of this bouncing, beautiful, fresh and new decade. Who better to launch us into the house stratosphere than Juliet Sikora – Kittball Records co-founder, DJ, Producer (of some of my favourite club tracks) and all round shero.
2020 is looking pretty special already. Save the date. I’ll see you on a dancefloor somewhere soon.
Seems to be the month for compliments. 2020 is looking like it’s going to be a pretty special year.
It’s such a massive boost when someone you love, respect and look up to as a maverick and a game changer says nice things about you. This is what Luke Unabomber had to say that brought the sun out on a very moody day.
Here is my last Reform Radio show of 2019 – ringing out the old by bringing in the new talent and the man called Mr Redley. Happy New Year to you, you special human being. Thanks to all the djs, labels, producers and most all thanks to you for all your support throughout 2019 – Here’s to a new decade that is brimming with blessings and positive vibes for each and every one of us. January’s guest mixer is Juliet Sikora. You see what I just did there? …
This New Year’s Eve (Tuesday December 31st, 2019 to be precise) I’m keeping it local, ringing out the old and bringing in the New at the wonderful Lead Station in Chorlton. I’ll be on the decks from 7pm till 1pm.
How about this for a Happy New Year curve ball? I’m bringing in my New Year with a cameo interview on Inside Track / Worklife on BBC News on Friday January 03rd, 2020.

Come and celebrate the holidays with BLEND – we’re having a Mad Friday at YES.
Join us on Friday December 20th for a Big Christmas (decorations and all) do in the basement – and get it done, right festive-like with two local legends, DJ Paulette and Stuart Richards (and not one Christmas tune in earshot) …
Here’s a beautiful after-video that slipped the net from La Discotheque x Bluedot Festival. It was a special full moon, that weekend in July and here’s your proof.
Trump is coming to London in December for the NATO Heads of State summit, and on Tuesday 3rd December the Queen will be hosting a reception for him at Buckingham Palace. R3 Soundsystem will be taking to the streets that evening, to protest against the far-right politics of The Tories, Trump and Farage. RESIST. REJECT. REVOLT.
In Gabriel Szatan’s own words: And it’s a testament to Mancunian hardiness that hundreds brave the arctic conditions to cavort to local hero DJ Paulette doling out fruity house numbers on an alfresco terrace.
Eleven months into the year and there is no sign of letting up for the Paulette Takeover on Reform Radio. For November (Movember) I invited my first male guest in months … Mr James Curd … to take the controls for the first hour and here’s how it went down.
In the words of Gilles Peterson: blast from the past… with @dj_paulette1 and @normanjaymbe back in 98 on the eve of a short lived but tremendous residency we all held together in the Eve Club on Regent Street… the thought of clubbing in the West End now feels like a bygone age
And finally – @homobloc @depotatmayfield it’s nearly show time so here are the all essential set times. Come ready to party inside and outside, bring dancing shoes and manifest sunshine. Last entry is at 5.30pm so don’t delay. See you on the dance floor.
