🌊 The Sea for a last song…😇 ☀️ Doesn’t get much better in my opinion, especially considering the last time I’d played this song was 6am on beach in Brazil… Fast forward a few weeks and I’d be playing it to close off our Carnival themed event!
Such a fun set with @sonnyleonardo invited him to join me for this set after travelling South America together and becoming even more obsessed with Latin flavoured 🎵 a very good choice 🫶🏻🫶🏻
This was a special occasion for me!
Huge joy linking up with the @tonnau_festival crew and catching up with @volta45_ ☀️ can’t wait for the festival!
DJ’ed back to back with my dad for 5 hours, for the first time - mostly vinyl - alongside @oscardw@kent_roach@josh_golledge 🎷 🥁. Immaculate intimate vibes at @hagglers_corner_ on my pals incredible home made rig 🔊@bosunsound
You know it’s a good night when the you run 30 mins overtime and the “last song” just keeps on comin😉
Without sounding preachy, this is the most fun I could ever have in this world so thanks to my friends and the incredible community for facilitating this journey so far!
The next few months have many amazing gigs that I’ll have the privilege of soundtracking in some way and some insanely exciting festival bookings which I’m dying to announce…☀️
