New Mix: Guest Mix for Ashes57 Teklife Label Show on Kiosk Radio
I recently recorded a guest mix for Ashes57’s Teklife label radio show on Kiosk Radio in Beligum.
I wanted my mix to reflect a mixture of new footwork/juke I’m feeling at the moment, some of my go to favourites, plus some of the tracks that made me fall in love with the sound:
New Mix: 100% Production Mix for Danny Scrilla on Subtle FM
My good friend Danny Scrilla invited me to join him on his Subtle FM show this month and we both decided to play 100% production mixes.
It’s the first time I’ve put together a mix purely of productions I’ve worked on and I really enjoyed the process! I revisited some of my solo and collaborative tracks, dug out some unreleased bits and included a few forthcoming tracks for a sneak peek into the future too!
Space Scratch Symphony
Over the past 4 years or so I’ve been working on an orchestral piece with composer Dr Elizabeth Kelly for Leicestershire Music that has turntablists as featured musicians, and it had its debut performance at Demontfort Hall in Leicester on Tuesday earlier this week as part of the Out Of This World concert!
‘Space Scratch Symphony’ featured over 400 primary and secondary school students, including 6 young turntablists and is a 20 minute narrative piece that follows a group of astronauts on an adventure to space. The piece was complimented by some amazing visuals created by degree students from Leicester College‘s Immersive Academy course.
It’s been such a wonderful project to be involved in - Leicestershire Music have been teaching scratching as an alternative instrument in schools for many years now and to have a cross genre project with other ensembles in the area has been a truly amazing achievement. Seeing the young turntablists so excited about performing in the venue and the buzz and sense of achievement that was shining from them afterwards was wonderful.
Thank you to everyone involved - there’s way too many of you to list and I’m bound to miss someone out - but in particular all the musicians, all the team at Leicestershire Music, Brad Smith for bringing everything together, Mike Shaw for conducting, Tim Clay for being an actual super hero, Simon, Nicki and Emma for their work with their choirs, all the Leicester College students, and DJ Angelo & Algoriddim for being so supportive with their tech!

New Mix: Ciarki Guest Mix
New mix alert!
I’ve recorded a new hour long mix for Ciarki, a crew that I first met back in 2012 when they booked me for their Witness event at Sneaky Petes in Edinburgh, and features a lot of 140-170bpm music I’ve been playing in my club sets recently.
New Music: Jon1st & Sinistarr - Pocari Spiral (All The People Records)
I’m excited to share that Sinistarr and I have a collaborative track featured on The Glitch Mob’s All The People Volume 2 Compilation, which drops today!
Sinistarr and I started this one when I was on tour in the USA a year or so back. Jeremy has been one of my favourite producers since the early 2010s and I’d been listening to his track ‘Detroit Diesel’ a bunch again at the time and we thought it’d be fun to make something inspired by that vibe and ‘Pocari Spiral’ was born!
Shoutout to The Glitch Mob for supporting the track and a big thank you to Mary Anne Hobbs for picking it as her ‘Near Future Track’ on her BBC6 Music show last Friday!
