My new documentary Right Here, Right Now is about Fatboy Slim and the biggest beach party in UK history. 40,000 ravers were expected on Brighton beach that day, but when 250,000 turned up shit went sideways. A day of joy and carnage. It’s my directorial debut and it’s out now on Sky and Now TV. x #FatboySlim #bigbeachboutique #bigbeachboutique2 #Brighton #BrightonBeach #Brightonmusic #righthererightnow

This was filmed at our ‘Rave Special’ with @ehgillett and @vincapetersen . If this looks like your thing then grab a ticket and we’ll see you at the next event. 🌻 Video: @tomflholborn with additional filming from @seb.f.mahon Music: Nujabes - Reflection Eternal. #SoundAffects #Brighton #BrightonMusic #brightonartist #BrightonandHove #Brightonart

🌵INTRODUCING THE SKY VALLEY STAGE 🌵 ‘Stoner Alley’, aka Greenland Place (opposite @ourblackheart ) has come to be known as the heart of Desertfest London. Playing home to our wristband exchange, unique vendors, tattooing, official merch, and @lostandgroundedbrewers outdoor bar, it's a place where all Desertfest paths meet. And this year for the first time, it gets a stage of its very own! Our aptly named Sky Valley stage will play host to live Q&As, band signings and perhaps an acoustic surprise or two! For its inaugural edition, @jak_th of @soundaffectsnight will be hosting Q&As with our Saturday headliners @greenlungband , Desertfest founder Reece & Creative Director Sarika, @midhaven.ind and @kerrangmagazine_ ’s Nick Ruskell! Green Lung will also be doing a signing session on Sat afternoon. The Sky Valley stage is open to Desertfest ticket holders only - a little reminder that we still have a limited selection of Non-Roundhouse Sat/Sun Day Tickets for those wanting a piece of the Stoner Alley action ! Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th May at Desertfest London Camden Town, London 🎟 desertfest.co.uk

ICYMI, my new piece for The Guardian is online now. It's about artist @linett_kamala and her Basstone Maypole project, which brings together maypole dancing and sound system culture. Link in bio to read it. x #maypole #maypoledancing #paganism #soundsystem

I wrote something that’s in The @guardian paper today. It’s about maypole dancing and sound system culture. I interviewed (and danced with) artist @linett_kamala , and covered her Basstone Maypole project. I also wrote about Jamaican quadrille dancing and interviewed the wonderful @beverleybogle4sure . Pick it up from a shop and read about tradition and dance, history and identity, darkness and light. It’s also online on The Guardian site. x #maypole #soundsystem #maypoledance #soundsystemculture

On Tuesday at @ropetackleart in Shoreham, I'll be delivering a talk called 'What Does Dying Sound Like?'. It's based on my project about near death experiences and music, the afterlife and expression. On Tuesday it's part of @drbramwell 's Catalyst Club, which is always brilliant. 7.30 doors. x #shoreham #shorehambysea #nde

I really love @nickdwyernz ’s new documentary A Century in Sound. It tells the stories of three listening cafés in Japan, their owners and the devotees who frequent them. It was a pleasure to host the Q&A with Nick at the @docnrollfilms screening last week in Brighton. When you get a chance I recommend watching this thoughtful and beautiful film.
