Hey folks. Been offline for a while as there was some memory issue with the site. Siteground have now sorted it and seems stable enough, so we back online.
(If you’ve had a few drop into your rss reader – I’ve just posted the recent drafts i wrote while the site was being repaired
This is an automatic thing from artists data, which i’ll upate with more deets when i get chance, but yeah 5 cool gigs on the horizon.
2 are in brum, 3 are further away, a couple will …

To date i’ve never asked a promoter for a gig, but this year i’m looking to really push things forward and start playing further afield, so i had a go at writing an EPK electronic press kit  inspired by this post from dj tech tools.
I’ve been on a mission for a few years now in order to get to a place where i feel comfortable  adapting to any dancefloor and get the same level of response as i was getting on the breaks floors. I also wanted to be able …

Started this year off with an awesome gig at the aforementioned New Years Eve party at PST, organised by Jibbering Jon (Tangawizi) and Robin (Friendly Fire) Jam Jah.
The night saw corking sets from some of Birmingham’s finest, and attracted a top crowd of people who filled both floors with proper good vibes from 11 – 7 am.

Jibbering have organised a top line up for the first New Years Eve party at P.S.T. I’ve not been taking any bookings since the summer, but i just couldnt resist this! Many of my favourite djs and local soundsystems playing and the venue is spot on.  (If you havent been, here’s a little video of Robin walking us round the opening night) – http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=493384134327&comments
Probably the best party in brum for New Years eve with tickets at £5 early birds and £7.50 standard (both available from http://www.theticketsellers.co.uk/buy_tickets/events/?id=10014225), and as well as …

Taking a year out of promoting to focus on the music, evolve some new dj approaches & setup some community strands of Mr Elephant.

Here’s the last 10 + years of events with links to the artists, or alternatively my last 10 years of djing.

As you probably know we are taking a break from all the monthly events for the forseeable future, to concentrate on other projects, so until we return, we just wanted to say a massive thank you on behalf of the whole …

I’ve a few gigs over the next month or so with some of my favourite artists. The Correspondents were one i’ve been hoping to play with for a while now, so i was well chuffed to be asked to dj after them courtesy of the Brotherhood of Filth who are the forces behind 5th Element promotions.

There was a few setup issues, so i ended up playing on cds as opposed the sample laden swing to drum & bass set i’d been working on, but it seemed to be the right …

With all the xmas madness i still havent blogged about what a great experience this was. (New Year’s resolution is to get a lot more active on this site!)

For now here’s a little footage that Pyn caught of the great dancing from the huge cast making a massive dancing circle and taking it in turns to bust their moves.

Ages from 15 – 65 were dancing, so a seriously mixed bag of genres was needed, which thankfully went down really well.

For this month’s Live and Free at the Adam and Eve we saw a very special concert with two of the finest midlands artists, a great chillout dj and a some special guests…Rich Batsford celebrated his 40th Birthday as well as his debut UK album and album relase and peformed a great crowd pleasing set with some new material and 2 special guests.

The Party Rockin’ Mammal Sessions have become synonymous with playing floor filling underground dancing music, guaranteed to make your tail feather shake, and a reliable way to find some of the best underground djs in the city….

After kicking off to a great start with Quantic back in June, Cinephonic well and truly settled into its groove with it’s second outing this month. It was a monster weekend with the Mr Elephant team also ramming the bull’s head the night before with a funk flavoured Party Rockin Mammal Session. A little sleep later and we’re back again at the Hare and Hounds for a very different animal….
