New beginnings

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

I am not the best at keeping up to date with my writing and letting people know what is going on in my life, but once again I say I will try to be better and hope that you find some interesting information or just have a laugh with me at my day to day toils and spoils.

Before leaving the US I had a couple of farewell parties that I Dj’d at and boy was it a roller-coaster ride of emotions, expressions of love and a compilation of music from old favourites to new musical wonders I have just discovered. Some of the current gems include Soul Survivor (bimbo jones club mix) by Beverly Knight Ft. Chaka Khan, Operator (dj dan & mike balance disco funk remix) by DJ Dan And Uberzone Ft. Blake Lewis and Love Don’t Live Here (ian masterson extended mix) by Bananarama. (Still waiting for the video to Operator to appear on YouTube).

Huge thanks to everyone that made it out to wish me good luck and farewell, and to Gus, Edgar, Dutch, Suv and the Gus Presents crew, plus Andrew and Michele, for organising the posters, cake and guest list and making sure I had a blast.

Even earlier this year I organised a flash mob in San Francisco, along with our star Heklina and choreographers Joshua Klipp and Matthew Martin. On Valentine’s Day we took to the Castro in San Francisco in order to answer a flash mob that took place on Bondi beach last November, organised by my friend and fellow DJ Dan Murphy. Say Cheese Flash Mob - Official Video. At high noon Heklina took centre stage and the mob began. Watch the video on the Rock Your Box YouTube Channel that Dan and I have together.

I arrived back in the UK last Wednesday and have spent most of the time with my close family, but last night I went out to meet my friends from college, as it has been 10 years since we graduated. A trip into London and a few drinks in a bar and we quickly got back into reminiscing about old times and catching up with what’s new. We were up in Islington, where I used to live close by in 3 separate places, so very familiar surroundings made me feel like I really was back in my own country and home. After a few rounds my sister Erin and I headed down the road to the last place I lived, before I left for Sydney in 2003, to see my long time friend Peter. Was great seeing him and everyone else last night and I look forward to many more adventures with you all……….. x
