30 years of DJing and somehow the controversial bit is what I’m doing with my feet. Final Ibiza DJ set of 2026. Pacha Ibiza. House music playing. Crowd being read. Records being mixed. And once again I committed the terrible offence of visibly enjoying myself behind the decks. This summer, the comments on these videos have taught me a lot about what a “proper DJ” is supposed to look like. DJs who dance are gimmicks. DJs shouldn’t make themselves the focus. A DJ “educating” the crowd about new mu

Another Ibiza Airport hack! I’ve been coming to this particular secret spot for about 14 years and I’m always shocked that more people haven’t discovered it. Well, as you seemed to really enjoy my €1.50 water hack (I’ve seen the videos of people copying the hack 😉), I’ll gatekeep this no more. Did you know there’s a secret lounge at Ibiza airport? Well, now you do. Prices are really reasonable, there’s seats and you get a lovely view of the planes. Will you be coming here next time you’re at Ibi

If I woke up tomorrow and decided I had nothing left to say as an artist or producer, I’d be OK with that. It’s taken me a while, and a lot of work, to get there. But I think my perspective on what actually matters is better for it. I’ve spent most of my life building a career in music, but I can’t measure my entire worth by what happens in the music industry. Career milestones matter. My family, my health and my wellbeing matter more than any booking, release or hit record ever could. I’ve burn

Men over 40: why are some blokes so determined to take the piss out of other men for how they look? A grown man, and fellow DJ, saw a clip of me talking on a podcast, reposted it to his Stories and decided the most interesting thing about it was how my glasses sit on my head. My glasses. I bloody love the internet 😂 The boring explanation is that I’ve lost around 25 stone, including a considerable amount from my face and head. I’ve got loose skin around my ears, so yes, my glasses can sit differ

One of the biggest traps for DJs, producers, artists and creatives in the music and entertainment industry is confusing credibility with integrity. Credibility is what somebody else thinks of you. Integrity is what you think of yourself. Dance music can be obsessed with perception. Who you’re seen with. Whether somebody is “cool enough”. Whether something might damage your brand. That fear can end up making decisions for you. The people I see genuinely succeeding aren’t necessarily the people wi

Just over a year ago, I did something I almost never do. I DM’d Calvin Harris and asked if I could remix one of his records. The record was “Blessings” by Calvin Harris & Clementine Douglas. I’ve known Calv for years, going back to when I used to break the rules at the radio station I was on to support his music. “Acceptable In The 80s” will always be a banger worth breaking the rules for, and his back catalogue is stacked with ridiculous levels of heat. Anyway, back to the DM. I loved “Blessing

Men over 40: are we genuinely uncomfortable with another man looking like he’s enjoying himself? A grown man watched one of my Carpark Catwalk videos, saw a 43-year-old figuring out men’s fashion over 40 while dancing in a car park and decided I was “losing the plot”. I post regularly about my journey into men’s fashion and there always seems to be some bloke waiting to tell me I’m too old, trying too hard, wearing the wrong fit or generally drawing more attention to myself than he’d personally

Should DJs actually dance behind the decks, or should they stand still and “look like DJs”? Genuine question, because the comments on my last House music DJ video were incredible. Some people think the best DJs don’t dance. Others reckon if you take your hands off the mixer for a few seconds you’re “just pressing buttons”. Move too much during a DJ set and suddenly it’s aerobics. Enjoy yourself too visibly and you’re a social media influencer instead of a DJ. So here’s some evidence from the las

I came into the music industry as a working-class Black kid from Nottingham with no connections and no independent wealth. One of the reasons I could learn music was a youth club with a community recording studio. I could make music, learn and spend time in a studio for free. Those spaces gave kids who couldn’t afford studio time or music equipment a way in. So when we talk about independent artists needing to build an audience, market their music and fund a career, there’s an earlier question:

Yesterday I was halfway through the Dad shop in Aldi when my agent called. Could I get to the Wirral in three hours to cover a DJ who had pulled out of a festival? Yellow labels abandoned. Home. Changed. Headphones and USBs grabbed. Straight onto the M6. Three hours later I was behind the decks playing Dance Music to a festival crowd giving it full send in the sun. Some people still think DJs should stand there looking mysterious while the House music is pounding. Even a few DJs have been giving

Seven years ago, I made a decision that would change my life forever... You may know me as the guy on the radio who has introduced you to your favourite new song. Or maybe as the guy who gave some of the biggest artists in the world their first ever national radio play: from Ed Sheeran to RAYE to Stormzy to James Hype and many more in between... but did you know that I also make music? In fact, I've made music longer than I've been a DJ or a Broadcaster. The problem was, I was consistently compa

Tell me you’re a British DJ without telling me you’re a British DJ. I’ll go first… It can be annoying to be mid DJ set when the Tea Time Alarm goes off, but luckily I was prepared. International DJs - make sure you’re aware and potentially bring your own flask of tea just in case. #teatimealarm #DJSet #ElectronicMusic
