Jinny – Keep Warm
This song takes me right back to my own Summer of Love in Ibiza in 1995. I was only 17 and running wild! Amazing holiday experience with plenty of clubbing and dance music networking opportunities…. I stayed in some dodgy dive of a hotel that I bought off teletext, in the West End of San… Continue reading

Review: Altered State – The Story of Ecstasy Culture and Acid House – by Matthew Collin
I’ve already read a Matthew Collin book – This is Serbia Calling – so I was chuffed when I stumbled upon this work, a history of UK dance music culture. As a DJ and Promoter for 24 years I’m quite aware of a lot of the history of dance music in the UK. This book,… Continue reading

Review: The Life and Lines of Brandon Block by Matt Trollope
I was a DJ myself back in the 1990s and although I never played alongside Brandon Block, I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. Once, on his father’s birthday in a London bar/club, I had just got out of one of my early mental health hospital stints and I think Brandon… Continue reading

Wez G – True Romance (DJ Set 41)
The songs included on this mix seemed to me to have a lovey dovey theme and feel so hence the title ‘True Romance’. Deep and funky, it flows nicely, with stand out tracks from Glimpse and Vincenzo and obviously the opening classic from A Man Called Adam. Light some candles and slap a nice meal… Continue reading

Wez G – Snow White Winter Chill (Chillout) (DJ Set 28)
It’s snowing in the UK and that means everything stops. Roads are shut, schools are closed, trains don’t run and the shops are full of panic-buyers. This Christmas, I thought I’d slow down like the rest of the snow-swept nation and freeze my turntables with some icy chilled melodies. I didn’t feel the need to… Continue reading
