Just got off tour with MPHO as support for Mongrel last weekend. It was two weeks a heck of a lot of fun. During this trip, I managed to break my headphones and get addicted to Roast Chicken flavoured crisps. Everything went pretty smoothly, everyone showed up on time for the gigs, except for one time when Drew, Mongrel’s guitarist, who missed his train from London to Sheffield. Dude turned up ten minutes before the show, calm and composed, just picked up his guitar and do his thing. Respect! I guess being in a band with Pete Doherty means that nothing can faze you, eh? Anyways, Here’s a pic.

Now to why this post is called what it is.

After the Brighton gig, we went and checked out Dj Donaeo play. Man, I love me some UK Garage/Funky. Donaeo smashed it, as well as Nice and Niche, who gave me a mixtape. The tape is sick (you can down download it from their myspace here), and the last track freaked me out. The tune is called “Make it funky for me” by Attaca Pesante ft. Shea. Its a Funky version of the Will.i.am track “Make it funky”, which is his take on Baile Funk. I’m being a music nerd now, but I get excited about stuff like that! You know, just how one type of music influences another… maybe I’ll come up with a UKG inspired Baile Funk track someday.

So attached are the two tunes I was talking about…. I had to take the Attaca Pesante track straight off the mixtape… I couldn’t find it anywhere! If anyone knows where I can buy UKG tunes online please let me know!

Had a great gig in Geneva last Friday at le Zoo club. Me and Joyce Muniz tore it up to a great crowd of Genevans(?) and Brazilians. Big shout out to Rico, Steff and Dj Schnausi for their wonderful hospitality. As per usual, I forgot my camera, and was only able to take one half decent photo with my iphone…

Saturday was the birthday party of my radio station, FM4. I actually almost didnt make it back in time to play there, because of a snow storm in Geneva which delayed all flights coming in and out of the airport. It was proper airport nightmare. Luckily, I did manage to make it back only 3 hours later than scheduled, just back in time to see Deichkind play a wicked set of trashy electro combined with witty lyrics and an amazingly choreographed live show that was complete with illuminated costumes. The crowd went nuts for them. Photo taken from my crappy phone cam, again…

This Sunday I’ll be off on UK tour as the support act to UK indie supergroup Mongrel. We will be hitting up many cities in the UK, so please check the dates on their site or mine and come by to the shows if you are in the area! In the meantime, here is a remix that myself and Motorpitch did for their current single.

I’m off to pack my camera in my bag already, so you can actually see some good photos next time!
