This is a Jingle Package Gilles & Benji B (his producer at the time) asked me to do way back in 1998 when he first started at BBC Radio 1.
If you find any recordings of his shows from back then you'll probably hear them!

Inspired by the fantastic Boiler Room website live DJ broadcasts, I decided to try it out for myself on New Years Eve 2011.. I set up a USTREAM account a few months ago, so all I needed to do was plug the output of my DJ Mixer into my Laptop and point the webcam at my Decks! Obviously the Argos rotating Disco Ball was also an important addition to the set up. The broadcast started a few minutes before 11pm and ran through to midnight where we saw in 2012! There was family around me and lots of distractions, but I hope you enjoy the set.. It was very random and was a mixture of Vinyl and iTunes
(I had another laptop out of site of the camera). Anyway, it was great fun and I'm definitely planning to do some more broadcasts, maybe more live music orientated.
Here's my USTREAM channel.. Please subscribe!

Live music from Musicity collaborators Ski Oakenfull and Palmskin Productions plus a DJ set from Nick Luscombe (BBC Radio 3/Flomotion).
Starts 20:45

Music inspired by urban spaces is presented and discussed.

Musicity is an ongoing, city by city curated music program that explores the intersection of music, place, architecture and experience. We commission recording artists to compose original music based on an aspect of the city that inspires them. Through our purpose built app, you can visit these locations to hear an download the music. The idea is to inspire people to explore and discover the city, musically, architecturally and experientially.

Following on from our spring event at the Architecture Foundation tonight will bring together architects, designers, urban theorists and musicians in panel discussions and talks.

This was a gig I did with Palm Skin for Nick Luscombe's Musicity project on 22nd July 2011 at The Pirates Castle in Camden.
I hope to upload some audio soon.

I'm spending the summer in Japan. I normally come here in spring time to avoid the heat & humidity, so its quite a new experience for me this year. Its much greener, and everything seems to be moving a bit more slowly. Its also impossible to ignore the aftermath of one of Japan's biggest ever disasters, the Tōhoku earthquake & Tsunami that caused so much devastation, physically, emotionally & financially. All summer fireworks displays have been cancelled this year, with all money going to the regions affected. Air conditioning is being switched off to conserve electricity, and people seem worried about radiation which apparently might not be safe for another three years.
So I've started a blog to document my trip. You can view it here:
