I've qualified for the World Online DMC Finals for the third year in a row!
The final will commence on the 21st August! Keep your eyes peeled for my six minute video entry!
New Mix: Guest Mix on The Trailer TV
This week I played a guest set on The Trailer TV alongside Kwake Bass! There's a little interview before my set too. In my set you can hear
tracks by Debruit, SwamiMillion, Flying Lotus, Slick Shoota, Moresounds,
Danny Scrilla, 2tall, Walton and loads more. I mess up a tiny bit of
the scratching near the end - note to self, always use the monitor
rather than trying to guess what you're doing while freestyling! Big up to The Trailer TV for having me!
New Video : "LV - Push It" Routine
This
video was made in a collaboration with my good friend Dan Tanda. Dan
recently moved to Japan and before he left we thought it'd be fun to
make a video together. The original track is by LV feat. Okmalumkoolkat.
UPDATE: This video has since been featured on DJWorx and the official Facebook pages of Rane and Okay Africa, who released the original version of the LV track!

New Mix: Guest Mix @ The Funhouse
I recently visited hip hop broadcasting collective The Funhouse in London to play a guest set alongside host, Chris P Cuts. The set is predominantly hip hop and beats with a few footwork and jungle tunes thrown in for good measure!
Please note that in my intro Chris kindly refers to me as a DMC champion, but in fact though I've won DMC regionals (Midlands in 2011 and London in 2012), I've not yet won a national title. Hopefully that will change soon though!
