Above is my entry to the cargo intel dj/vj battle, its for a final battle in the london club at the end of the month, there were some good other entries but so we'll have to see.
Im now booked for Summer Maddness a big festival on the outskirts of Belfast witha cool spiritual slant. Im doing a downtempo breaks set with my man Navara.
Next Tuesday is Tekumah presents... convulsion, with retro gaming consoles, its gonna be one not to miss...
Back in Belfast and enjoying the vibe, a good firend Navara and I have set up a monthly in Mono, called Tekumah.
Its a night based around community and interaction, with a creative setup and naturally a visuals bias. We launched with BCee owner of ibiza based spearhead records and all had a great night.
We are hoping to keep it fresh so if any vjs, film makers etc want to be involved hit me up
after playing the UMF Collective stage at the main festival I went on with VJ OMNI to the official after party at area 51 and played back 2 back in the Drum and Bass room. It was a great day / night, despite the rather tempremental bass bins in the club ;)
