Welcome to future people. It's 2019 and to kick the year off I've mixed it up with a bit of D&B, some Danish trip-hop, alongside some of the funkiest nu-disco mixes to help you drift off to a more serene place.

For the first time in at least 6/7 years as an expat – my father has just visited me in Dubai, for the first time in his life, with his new chica Nikki. After his legendary visit to see me at the helm – ahem …

When James first joined our family, and as we grew up, our next door neighbours in our hometown of Hastings became our friends for life. James and Stewart were super close (and I’m referring to more than postcodes) and shared many unprintable – and often controversial – moments...

For November's tunage we have tracks from Beerlover, and Navio Bitz's remix of Billy Rae Martin; alonsgide mixes in honour of Keith O'Hanlon, and from the man like Chevals.

Managing to adopt some complimentary VIP passes to the highly-anticipated F1 in Abu Dhabi – courtesy of my big boss / brother figure Mr Paul Evans – I didn’t quite know what to expect; Formula One racing has never really interested me.…

For October's tunage we have tracks from Concious Thoughts, Vincenzo de Bull; alonsgide mixes from Soul Heaven featuring Brian Power, and Darius Syrossian live in Argentina…

So, it’s nowhere near that time of year – but nonetheless some mother’s do want to get prepared already. And, alas, we cater to those whims and needs and here I’ll give you a heads up on some of the best places to brunch and enjoy Christmas festive dinners (and drinks) in Dubai.

For September's tunage we have tracks from Dr Packer & Loshmi, Mr.Goldenfold; alonsgide mixes from Glitterbox, and Glasweigan Lamb Oh.

So I managed to survive a full-on Ferrari-paced six months in one of the fastest developing cities in the world.

It seems only yesterday I rocked up in Dubai without much of a clue about the metropolis that sprouted from the desert in seemingly record-breaking time. A city that…

For August's tunage we have tracks from Brighton's Wax Worx, & linanthem alonsgide mixes from Darius Syrossian, + Get Down Edits.

Moscow Here We Come is a re-rub of the, as yet un-published, press release titled: International Nightlife Giants Announce Plans for Moscow & Kazan. And it goes a little something like this...

For May's tunage we have tracks from Late Nite Tuff Guy, & Leviticus alonsgide mixes from Steven Richards, and Downunder Disco.

So just after my five year anniversary of blogging on the site, I delve deep into the pyscology of a serial scribbler - kind of.

For April's tunage we have tracks from 5 Reasons, & Rayko alonsgide mixes from Flamingosis, and Sophie Llyod via Classic Music Company.

Having only just managed to escape the UK, in sub-zero temperatures – and with more dramas than an episode of East Enders; the taxi driver taking me to the wrong airport being a major obstacle – I arrived in Dubai slightly bemused, bewildered, and yet immensely relieved...

This month we've got mixes by Groove Tonight (aka Groove 今晩) and Melvo Baptiste ft the legendary Amp Fiddler - plus tracks from Vantage and a lovely disco rehash by the Parisian Chavels.

After my random, and – essentially – pointless trip to Bratislava, I returned to the UK with a much more positive outlook for the future. It was, after all, All About 2018 now.

With that breath of fresh air; I followed up some job opportunities I’d been chasing for some time. Within days of getting back on British soil, I ...

This month we've got a whole lot of stateside funk; tracks by M A R I マリくん x Virginboy, and Whiskey Pickle label boss Silver Rider - plus mixes from Jazz FM's Tony Minvielle and California's Heiro.

Forget poolside holidays, forget your mini-tour of Europe, head to the Hermit Kingdom to party with Kim Jong-un...

This month we've got some super tasty shiz for you: tracks by Chicago's Destry via his Spanish studio, and Italy's Android Apartment via his London base - plus mixes from Boca 45 & DJ Format and Traxsource Live presents their A&R Sessions #65 with Dan Klokow & Glen Horsborough.

So after yet another gut-wrenching year of hardcore pain and trauma, I’m more than happy leaving all that baggage behind – literally – whilst I’m here in Bratislava on some silly fact-finding mission...

I pluck a couple of top track and mega mixes each month, or when the moment takes, and for this one we have disco treats on SoundCloud by the Italian beats maestro .CASTING, some deft sampling from Assonance, and mixes from Good Vibes Sound's U'We Train and Boston's Mere.

This month signals the 46th anniversary of a breakthrough moment in the history of literature: a breakthrough moment indeed for all mankind. For way back, almost on this very same retched day a mere 16,790 sleeps ago Dr Hunter S Thompson unleashed his throbbing red beast to the world. And suddenly, nothing would ever be the same again...

I pluck a couple of top track and mega mixes each month, or when the moment takes, and for November we have disco treats on SoundCloud by Future Society Collective's man in Chicago, Escape, the Great Dane iamalex, and mixes from Mexico's Edwick John and the Glasgow-based teen ex.evi.

So, unfortunately, I've had way too much spare time of late and I've been tinkering with a few – super dope – new websites to keep me out of trouble. The live one I can show off about, other than this, is ModaHastings.com (my local bar in Hastings town), and this - by a long, long, way – is the best site I've ever built. And so it should be. I've built some pretty cool sites mind you, but technology is a changing…

Now, before you get carried away – this site update is nowhere near complete, but I was so excited about the new look I couldn't hold back any longer.

I pluck a couple of top track and mega mixes each month, or when the moment takes, and for this one we have disco treats on SoundCloud by retro queen Geraldine Hunt, the Parisian sounds of DJ Vas, and mixes from Brighton's Fingerman and reggae dons Rizla Sound.

That's an awful lot more room to get your message across and it also allows you to ensure your brand image is kept in line…
