I have recently entered Ninja Tune and Kid Koala's Flexi Disc DJ Battle competition. The rules were to create a routine using sounds purely from the flexi disc included with Kid Koala's new LP, 12bit Blues (Ninja Tune), and to use the flexi disc at least once during the performance. The top 3 most popular videos are judged by a judging panel in early December. In order to vote all you have to do is sign into a YouTube account (Gmail accounts also
work) and give the video below a 'thumbs up' on YouTube.
I hope you enjoy the routine! Thanks in advance if you take the time out to give feedback on the video!

Friday 5th October marks my club night DROP's 4th birthday as an event in Leicester. To celebrate I've invited Kidkanevil and Blackwax to headline at Sophbeck Sessions (8-10 King Street Leicester)! It all kicks off at 23:00 and goes on until the VERY early hours!
I've just recorded a new mix!

It features tracks by Scientist, Zomby, Om Unit, Lorn, Mono/Poly, Kidkanevil, Slick Shoota, Danny Scrilla, Machine Drum, Kromestar, Barrington Levy, Moresounds and loads more across loads of different tempos. There's a couple of exclusives in there courtesy of LV and Danny Breaks too! I'm currently booking gigs for late October onwards, so please hit me up if you enjoy it :) Cheers! Jon
