I was recently asked by my friend Jim Lister to write a blurb about some of my favorite dub records for his recently launched Version blog, and since dub has always been a major influence in my life, I was more than happy to comply, and here is what I came up with:

KROSSFINGERS GUEST MIX
I have now the pleasure and pride to have a mix featured on the classy Krossfingers blog. In very good company here! It did take me a bit longer than usual to do this mix, the idea was to play mostly old records and surprise the blog’s head honchos Sasha Tessio and Artem Ikra. Not […]
2014: A Year In Music
And what a year it was! Music, whether listening to, dancing to, digging and filing records has once again been my drug of choice, keeping me sane and smiling always. Countless hours were spent week in week out socialising, dancing, listening, debating, upgrading audio, etc from the natural hub that has become Brilliant Corners, which […]
Beauty And The Beat / End Of The Night Top 12
“It’s Sun Ra. You can dance to it. That’s why Beauty And The Beat exists.” The ever so lovely Dr Rob @ Test Pressing asked us what a top 12 of end-of-the-night tunes would sound like and this is what we came up with. Here’s the reproduction of the original Test Pressing post. All bona […]
Brazilian Fever
Here’s the latest mix I did for the ever excellent Test Pressing website, fast becoming the mini bible for all things balearic. It’s a freestyle all Brazilian mix, bossa, samba, jazz, funk etc, one for the summer, with or without the football. Listen here

2013: A Year in Music – What We Got Down to
Despite the naysayers this was another great year in music, whether for the feet, the soul, the body, the mind, all of it. More and more music is being released every year, most of it is crap but digging (literally or not) for treasures is an art, and very rewarding it can be. There are […]
Brilliant Corners
It’s been a long time coming but it is finally here, Brilliant Corners, our new hub for music, food, poetry, wine, and whatever else we fancy. Looking great, sounding amazing, the space is a blank canvas as Amit loves to say, nothing is definite, only quality. For the time being I will be hosting […]
Guest Mix on NTS Radio’s Spirits Frequency
I had the honor of being invited on their radio show by my brothers Koichi Saikai and Kay Suzuki aka Afrobuddha, for a short interview and an exclusive 7″s only mix. As expected I had a ball, much respect to them ! We arrived in the studio as Amir finished his guest spot on […]
