It had to end sooner or later I suppose. Not even the most repeatedly lobotomised optimist could call my Caravan night a ‘Summer’ session anymore. Still, it’s a hell of a shame (as I so adore doing it) and we have the long dark tunnel of winter to stumble through before I start talking to [...]

I can’t believe we’ve come to the end of 2012′s titanically eventful summer, and subsequently ALMOST the Heads Down summer sessions at Caravan. Considering it’s a summer that won’t be particularly remembered for it’s Copacabana-esque weather, for some reason when it came to the sessions it was always sunny and warm. Praise the Balearic spirit! [...]

God this took me ages to do. It’s not even as though it’s some uber-dexterous feat of turntablism or anything, it just wasn’t feeling right. Today though, with all the windows in the house open, the geese taking shelter from the blistering sun under the footbridge outside and the occasional light caress of a cool [...]

Well, I’m three nights deep in the Caravan Heads Down sessions for 2012, and it’s been ridiculously good fun so far. Aside from getting told off by my wife for (literally) rolling in too late and being completely incapacitated for the rest of the weekend, everything’s been totally peachy. It must be said, it’s hard [...]

It’s about that time again: I’ve very pleased to announce that after much to-ing and fro-ing the Heads Down Saturday Summer Sessions will be returning to Caravan again for 2012. Last year was fantastic, but exhausting, so we’ve decided to bring it back fortnightly so I don’t have to be stretchered out of there come [...]

Those of you who shamble upon this blog regularly will know that Ashley Beedle is seen as a bit of a ledge around these parts. So when he offered me a mix exclusively for Heads Down, not only did I spill my kedgeree in my lap (no that’s not a euphemism) and victory punch the [...]

Anyone who regularly visits my blog probably knows that I’ve got the hots for anything Maurice Fulton related. He hasn’t really delivered any stone-cold monsters since his work with Kathy Diamond though; remember the three pronged assault that was his mix of Alice Smith, the Ost & Kjex remix and Kathy’s ‘All Woman‘? I like [...]

I recently recorded this mix for Ministry Of Sound Radio (they broadcast it after Cosmo’s show a couple of weeks ago) and it came out so well I thought I’d better blog it. It’s quite druggy and linear (sort of) which is not really my default mode. I just had a wicked time doing something [...]
