I was rifling through my archive videos on Facebook and stumbled across this clip from the BURN FG DJ AWARDS 2007. The awards were voted by the public and I was a relatively new resident in Paris. To say I didn’t realise what weight I was punching at then is a total understatement but when you see the talent in the room you will know immediately.

I am always getting stopped in the street by people who were at the Black Coffee party at Mint Lounge in Manchester. I smashed the party that night and this is the closing set that did the damage (I played an equally well received, marvellous and eclectic opening set that sadly wasn’t recorded). I topped and tailed the headliners – Black Coffee – and Themba on May 6th 2018. The mix was a front page, featured ‘Mix Of The Month’ on the Evermix site (when they featured DJ mixes) and I was super proud of that.
