Hello and hooj love to everyone!

I am currently jetsetting around Europe on my first International tour and i am properly excited! But the experience is bittersweet... Saying goodbye to all my wonderful friends in London has been one of the most heartbreaking things i have ever had to do. The last two years have been two of the most incredible years of my life. I have met so many amazing people and had so many fantastic adventures. I feel so lucky to have been a part of the breaks scene in this country and my life has been so enriched by the people that i have met and worked with. My most sincere and heartfelt thanks goes to Paul Arnold, the head of Fat! Records www.thefatclub.com The hardest working man in breakbeat and an inspiring and talented induvidual of the rarest kind. Also to Friendly www.myspace.com/friendlybits one of the most professional, brilliant and beautiful people i have ever had the pleasure of working with. Thank you so much to both of you for everything!!!

Some other unbelievably talented induviduals i must send a massive BIG UPS and THANKS to are Vlad Sokolov www.sokolovsounds.com Chris Carter www.roxiller.com Tam & Jem from Precision Cuts www.precisioncuts.co.uk Mark 'Merka' Ford www.merka.co.uk Ben 'Rogue Element' Medcalf www.exceptionalrecords.co.uk Martin 'Move Ya!', Mark 'Shift', Andy & Cornell 'Dymond' from Know How Records/Audio Bug www.knowhowrecords.co.uk www.audiobugrecords.co.uk Matty Dopamine www.djdopamine.com Nick Thayer, Clive Morley & Leo 'Ladykilla' from Platform 12, Pippa & Rennie from TCR www.tcr.uk.com G 'Blim' www.trackrecords.uk.com Janette Slack www.janetteslack.com Tayo, Carl Loben, Barry Ashworth, The Disposable Breaks boys Craig & Dave, Abel Reynolds and everyone at Finger Lickin' www.fingerlickin.co.uk Simon Schtum www.schtum.org Anton & Chris at Trailer Media www.trailermedia.com Alex from Rocketscience Media www.rocketsciencemedia.com Mark & Yas at Higher Status www.higherstatusevents.com Danny Ninelives the Cat, MC Xander www.mcxander.co.uk Adam & Tony Gainsborough, Steelz & Hatch from West Records www.westrecords.co.uk Jonny & Chris from Splank! www.splankrecords.co.uk & Dan Superstyledeluxe. These people all rule massively. Buy their records, go to their parties & support them any way you possibly can!

So... i have just spent the last weekend in Ireland where despite below freezing temperatures i've been larging it up left, right and centre. First stop was Limerick on the West Coast of Ireland, situated on the mouth of the river Shannon. Despite warnings that it's 'the land of the bandits' I found the crew down there was absolutely brilliant! A real craic as they say in these parts. Special thanks to Dan, Donal, Darragh & Paul. Thanks especially for those last couple of hot whiskey's and for the monumental throbbing in my head on Friday morning ;) seriously these guys are as down to earth and lovely as they come. Check out their website www.vivamusicstudios.com to seev what they do... and they have promised there will be photos from the party online very soon too.

Next stop was Galway, an absolutely beautiful city with glorious old world charm. One of my first experiences here was meeting a flute player who told me over a cup of hot coffee that he celebrates life every single day as he believes it's a miracle that he is alive on this planet. If that's the kind of attitude they have in Galway it's definitely a place i could happily spend the rest of my days. The gig was fantastic, really viibey, up for anything crowd. The promoter Paul AKA The Commander was a lovely person and a wicked DJ, everyone there was lovey actually. If you ever have a chance to get to Galway i highly recommend it!

I'm currently in Belfast, a city that has become like a second home. It's my third time here playing at Lavery's in the infamous back bar. Greg, the promoter at Lavery's www.lavs.co.uk and his girlfriend Corina are like family to me. Thoroughly decent (pronounced daysent as my friend in Limerick tells me) people. Massive massive big ups to Gerry, Mick, Steve, Dave and all the Belfast crew. You guys are the best!

My next stop will be Portugal where i'm playing in Lisbon at Tejobreaks www.tejobreaks.com for Alex AKA Para Pilotes on the 10th March at The Lounge. And from there i will be off to Augsburg in Bavaria, Germany where i will be playing at Kerosin at Electric Boutique alongside Mono on the 18th March. Last but not least it's back to Budapest with Karoly and Zoli for another mash up at Now Sound www.nowsound.hu on the 15th April.

That's all i have to report for now... I am off to try to thaw out! It's absolutey freezing. But as always i must leave you with a friendly little quote to tickle your taste buds...

"Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other." - C.G. Jung
