Hold Tight is One!

Aw gee. One year already. One year of great records mixed pretty shoddily. It's sure been a lot of fun. Thanks to anybody and everybody who tuned in, and for the kind feedback. Check out the birthday celebrations Sunday 1st March, 8pm CET at loud-fm.

A quick Oscar-style round of thank yous:
Firstly, to you, the valued listener (you made it all worth while, sniff).
The guests for their invaluable contributions (you guys are the best, i mean that. Seriously).
And especially to Niko The Dude, for letting me hijack his radio slot once a month (literally couldn't of done this without you, big guy).

Pass the sparkling wine!

Mwah! mwah!

Sunday

Hold Tight Radio.. This time round I have a great guest mix from our man in NYC, Pete Wu. I’ll copy and paste a bit from his recent email to tell you about the mix:

“…it's heavy on bootlegs and NY labels, Restricted Access, in particular and remixes of R'n'B songs from the past few years.

I know it's a departure from a lot of the stuff I was playing in Bkk simply cuz it's not jackin' or dirty or techy. Maybe having spent the past year in NYC had something to do with it as Restricted Access is based outta there but more likely, this is the kind of stuff I spin when I'm taking a break from the harder, more frenetic stuff. I called it "About Time" because I hadn't done a mix and I had promised a few people I would - they just happened to be the types who said they liked some of the more vocal-oriented mixes I did so I put together some of my favorite newer vocal, NY-flavored songs.”

Amen to that.

Plus there’ll be the usual discoid boogie from me.

Usual time, usual place- Loud FM, 8pm CET. Subscribe to the podcast using the link over there, on the right.


AND...I'll be playing at La Regla this Saturday. It’s at Edelweiss in Xberg, Berlin, from 11, in the bar.

Next Friday I’ll also be spinning at Transit on Schlesische Strasse, from 10pm.
