Next week you can find me and a few of the other forum members like Mikey Deviant (cough!) dropping tunes at the Newbury as part of the All Day Takeover organised by DJ Lexx & Sync Quest.
Pretty sure I'm on first out on the Terrace bar (which is fine by me, lol! The DJ's playing later will get cold hands for sure!). I've got the usual stock of very expensive records to deploy backed up a laptop squeezed full of digital audio files - you won't be hearing me streaming tunes from Spotify or Tidal (cough cough) in my sets!
And then in the lounge room opposite the bar upstairs there is an open deck session - running the full day too! DJ Stasha, Dense and others are due to turn up on there, you never know I might jump on too...
Yep, Saturday 11th October 2025 - 2pm - 2am.
Get yourself and your crew down to The Newbury for vibes.

I was really hoping there would be a proper vinyl setup for this - been practising my cuts like Richie Rufftone recently (still shit tho lol), but it sounds like there's gonna be a record player plugged into Controller rather than decks. So unless thats got an innoFader installed and I can actually reach the mixer n deck at the same time the opportunity for going nuts on the cuts are limited... Maybe I should be practising on the controller? I dunno. You tell me..
