A proper look back at Saturday's Phonox outing for @brixtondiscofestival
6pm is usually peak outdoor vibes at BDF and the sun was (mostly!) shining, so I'm extra grateful to everyone who joined me in the club.
The goal was get every soul in the venue moving.
Swipe across for some sounds and dancefloor moments from the set.
BDF grows stronger every year and brings a unique mix of people and musical flavours.

Love to all the music fam who came down for my return to Night Tales. What a night it was!
Thanks to everyone who sent me videos. Swipe through for some digging and shout out any ID requests in the comments!
Playing all night long is a true pleasure and privilege. Building the room up from downtempo grooves and having the time and space to test out my dubplates and take a few risks - which often turn out to be the biggest moments.
Big thanks to Harry and Ollie who put some proper love into the sound and lights and superstar AL Joanna! And of course thanks to Ali and Night Tales for the continued trust and support!
This Friday, the party moves to La Bellevilloise, PARIS!
Back from my second India tour and reflecting on the wonderful @echoesofearthfestival .
I'm proud to witness how the scene is developing in the motherland. As you'll see in the clips and images, the stagecraft, sound and dancefloor energy were as good as anywhere in the world and the eclectic lineup was matched by the warmth and open-mindedness of the crowd.
So many messages from local djs and dancers after my set, which really means a lot!
I had a few hurdles getting there, including a huge drama on the local flight to the festival. Following a dispute with a stewardess, an upset and disruptive lady was refusing to deboard, causing a 1 hr delay, and resulting in Air India announcing the flight was cancelled. Myself and several other artists would have missed the show, so I had to try something. I can't remember what I said, but somehow I managed to convince the lady to agree to get off, took her bag and escorted her off the plane, whilst she was still remonstrating with the crew.
I got to the stage 1 minute before my set and had to unleash some high energy vibes to release the tension!
Big thanks to Echoes, @sohailarora and @krunklive for the invite and all the artists and local crew I connected with.
Will post some bits from the wild afterparty and Mumbai show later in the week.

One of my favourite tracks to bring people together.
Produced by @kerrichandler and featuring the soulful and hypnotic vocals and sax of his grandfather Calvin C. Reed Sr.
This is my kind of house music!

Covers of classic tracks can be hit and miss. But this jazz-fuelled reinterpretation of one of the anthems of the Detroit house and techno movement is how it should be done.
Big up @djthomasschumacher and Kaori - this one has never left the bag.

A pleasure to be back at @brixtondiscofestival for the 4th year in a row. Pure positive energy throughout the day.
Official footage to come, but this was one of many special moments during my Phonox afternoon takeover, testing out a gospel dubplate.
Thanks to everyone who joined us - especially @kengoplaysmusic and the crew of house dancers who lifted the atmosphere from the first beat.
Big up to @levdj_ & @iamfaro_@lukeunabomber for the eclectic vibes and my loyal crew of friends on the floor!

Excited to return to @brixtondiscofestival on 2nd May for my 4th year playing the event.
It’s been great to see the festival grow stronger each year, celebrating diverse sounds and lineups to compliment the classic disco roots and attended by vibey open crowds.
I've played at Electric and several sets at the Brixton Village stage curated by local treasures the @handsonfam including last year's iconic secret B2B with @melvobaptiste
This year, I'll be playing an evening set at one of London's best venues Phonox, along with two of my favourite upcoming soulful sisters @levdj_ and @iamfaro_ and deep digging selector @lukeunabomber
I'll also be playing an intimate set later in the evening at Bricks.
