Listening to the masters of a project we started in 2006, I think it may be just the must deep and cinematic release we’ve ever done. Always interesting to hear what Simon has done with our masters, he always finds the right amount of space and lush. Can’t wait to hear the vinyl.

The last two DJ’s we followed both played at 145bpm, we cleared the floor with a 125bpm number and started again. Never be afraid to clear the floor rather than play the BPM game. Fuck knows why everyone is playing like that.

He played the only night we ever sold out and broke even on, he was zero trouble and made no demands. He played until he ran out of records. It was a great night.

Andrew said he’d play us a 3hr set if I got his driver his own room, best £53 I’ve spent! During the set he’d be playing themed sections and when he was done with those selections he’d just drop the fader, leave a bit of silence and start on something else.

The more I look at Facebook and look at what DJ’s and Musicians are doing, 95% are moving away from music and are more busy trying to sell you a lifestyle that doesn’t really exist, it’s fucking weird.

It’s heartbreaking waking up in Sheffield knowing Richard has gone, the Cabs played such a massive part in shaping everything that was to come and I’ll be forever in their debt, without them I wouldn’t be doing what I do. This is still my number 1 single.

We are currently flying by the seat of our pants, surviving like most on next to nothing but there’s no way I’d take any payment to come out and play live, it’s simply not safe. I’ve had C19 and 5 months on I still can’t walk 1 mile without stopping.

Sat listening to CV 1974-1976 on Industrial Records. A fine album. Remembering the time at band practice when we’d swap instruments and do abstract stuff at the end. I should have followed that path much earlier but how did I know back then.

I’ve never seen anyone do this but when Andrew Weatherall played for us he told me he was running out of records. He just allowed one record to play out, left a 20 second gap of silence and started on some acid mind benders.

As a customer I understand why people like Spotify, as an Artist it’s terrible and the reason for that is two fold: it’s only interested in content providers and then keeping all the profit. It’s a close to a digital sweatshop as you can get.
