Djing, Events, Music, Workshops, & other things i like to do
So after months of prep & years of developing i’m very happy to share my Dj Narrative newsletter / podcast. Its contains a few ideas / features so i thought i’d break it down a bit in a blog post.
If you want to subscribe then here’s the link
And here’s the first newsletter
Back Catalogue & All future ones for download
Its took a while, but ive uploaded all the mixes from the last 10 years & radio shows, tagged them for mp3 player, added each show page with streamable player and …
A place for the other things i do outside of music. Generally broken down into things i do & things i find useful. Could be posts on productivity, events in birmingham, music making, dj technology, web design tips, awareness, politics, spirituality, funny stuff..all that kind of thing.
All blog posts related to my own Djing. Generally broken down into sub categories that i hope will be of interest. Radio shows, Dj Charts, Gig Lists, music / artists to check out, & anything useful i find related to the art of djing.
The very best music i find put together in the best way i can. Currently they are 2 hours multi genre mixtapes, normally starting chilled & building up through many genres. I mix using 4 decks and reedit tracks live. They are normally hosted, always mixed, and feature the result of hours of digging & days of listening so (i hope) provide really enjoyable listening experiences and good places to find great music for djs and music lovers alike.
I deliver music tech workshops to particpants of all ages in a host of environments working with various other artforms. I only started this year, so there’s not many posts, but hopefully the posts give a good idea. More information is on the dedicated website – Reckorder.com.
I’m taking time off the promoting this year to focus on my own music. This category is anything music related generally broken down into my own music & anything useful i find along the way. Although i’ve had various commissions i havent put anything out there yet, and have around 30 new tracks in progress of all different genres. More information is on the dedicated website – Reckorder.com.
1st Newsletter contains a downtempo mix with narrative, uptempo mix live from shambala, entire back catalogue for free download, dj narrative album preview, free tracks & 3 music production tutorials
Here are 10 tracks & 1 album of different genres that i highly recommend you check out – 4 free / 7 new & all party rockers in their own right
Drum & Bass – Noisia - Diplodocus (Kill The Noise Remix) – Mau5trap – Big remix of a big track. This one has a lot more roll & dirt to it, but still retains the qualities of the original. Very happy recent purchase.
Jungle – Pascal – P Funk Era (Dj Zinc Remix) Free Dload – Old Skool Classic from 1996 …
Here are all the radio shows & mixes from 2012 with download links and show page for each one which i’ll add to each week.
Every show page has links to all the artists and includes all free downloads featured.
Every mp3 has the track-listing in the comments section & is tagged ready for your mp3 player.
If you can’t access the downloads drop your email into the Dj Narrative Newsletter and i’ll send you the password which unlocks all these downloads plus all the past decade-of-mixes-and-radio-shows-to-download & all the 2011 stuff.
Any problems …

As part of this newsletter & as a seperate site called Reckorder, i will be sharing a whole host of useful music making tutorials on all parts of the process online.
I’ve collated all the ones that ive found the most useful and sketched out a way of grouping them, but there is work to do for the specific site so until then I’m going to share a couple every fortnight via this newsletter. Pretty much everything on the site will be free content so its accessible to all of us, …

Off to Corby again this weekend for my second film shoot and a real nice dj gig at the other big date in the Core at Corby Cubes calender – The youth arts Slam!
Not to be confused with the wrestling tournament of the same name, the Slam is a kind of big, end of project showcase featuring performances from all of the long running workshops and courses they’ve had. This one was totally sold out and full of quality performances of all ages.
Here is the Music Player. You need to installl flash player to show this cool thing!
