Summer Of Non-Love!

Well Summer 2011 has been (apparently) and gone!
I did really enjoy the 7 or 8 days of hot weather we were entitled to over the past few months here in the UK. In fact I enjoyed it so much I got a faint tan on my fore-arms! I even drank a cocktail! Good times.

Other Adventures Involved Thorpe Park with the ever so lovely Miss Georgie Bellan who will not ever admit to but DID scream like a 10 year old trapped inside a viscous horror film whilst on the Saw ride! :D.
Alton Towers with Big Dave! conquered the Oblivion (whilst I screamed like a 10 year old trapped inside a viscous horror film)......... yes true :/.

My DJ residency KAOS had taken its annual summer break. So in its absence I took on multiple nights playing at Tonic Bar In Basingstoke. A 2 floor venue with lavish design and 3 bars. very nice with great sound and lighting surrounding the dancefloor. Was a pleasure to work these nights accompanied by a capacity crowd every time. Also had the chance to turn my DJ skills to the Digital side at Tonic with my e-bayed Dell Lattitude Laptop (only 100 pounds) and my Much more expensive Pioneer DDJ-T1 controller with Traktor scratch 2.
The element of beat matching is eliminated with this bit of kit if you allow it with a "sync" button that Matches the BPM of the tracks for you!! LAZY!!!! but the looping system and digital effects are cool and if used properly, make you sound like a DJ God and on the fly re-mixer.

Also there was the usual 2 to 3 nights a week at For Your Eyes Only Bournemouth with my favourite Ladies. Some of which Ive enjoyed kicking their asses at Hangman, Noughts and crosses & Connect 4! Whilst working thoroughly hard with my stage announcements of course.
Throw in a cheeky night covering Chris Connor @ Bliss Clubrooms Southampton (and absolutely rocking the crowd) and I was a happy enough bunny this summer in general.


Now though, The return of KAOS awaits. September 26th the KAOS doors open for more student shenanigans and more DJ Mix Mash Ups Cartier Style!
Tickets have arrived for Skrillex & Flux Pavillion Live at O2 Academy Bristol this November!!! Woop Woop :D. Cant wait for that also.

Still no lovely lady in my life which has resulted in a loveless summer! no hugs and kisses make This Man Sad but happy to get on with work without the complications of a relationship so no biggie. Theres a lady out there for me somewhere and between you and me... shes better off hiding away for her sake ;) x

Love you all rather much! Peace Out :D.
