The May Mix- Guest! Festival news!




This Sunday (8pm cet) Hold Tight Radio rolls out another 2 hours of specialist audio. This month we have a part 1 of what’s sure to be a cracking mix from Jack Spontan, with a decidedly tropical theme. I’m dusting down my grass skirt and coconut man bra (the “cocobro”) as we speak.

Plus, I’ll be lining up a number of extended 12” dub versions and tweaked-out discoid burners to round out the rest of the show.


And some quick but exciting news: I’ll be playing a boat party (Noah’s Ark) at this year’s Garden Festival in Croatia July 10th. Can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to this- a Funktion One sound system on a boat in the middle of the Adriatic. There. Is. A. God.
(yep, that's the boat in the pic above.)
