He can be found at Purple Chrome in the top room of The Hole in the Wall every second Friday of the month along with DJ Denaji. It’s free in and like the best school disco you’ve ever been to, soundtracked by soul, house, afro, reggae, pop, jungle, latin and disco.
You can also catch him at Into The Valley on May 29 and at the Futuresonic Festival.

New DJ Mix to Download
There may not be such a thing as a free lunch but there certainly IS such a thing a free mix. It’s another eclectic mix of laidback tune-age that's got plenty of dubstep, balearic covers, French rapping, the immense Don Cavalli, one of Hot Chip and some gypsy guitar all strung together using Flash's super human sound manipulation power.
