Earlier this week I posted about 25 years ESP. Today we remember Marcus Intalex. Marcus played such a huge part of the agency for well over a decade alongside other Soul:r artists who come over as a group when I started working at ESP myself.

last night on Kool I played 5 of my own tunes ( 4 x Alley Cat) and one other thing : x 💀💀💀I have never in 26 years had this much of my own music let alone felt confident enough to play them and mix them with tunes from my heroes. NEVER give up 💜💜💜

Vaccine was such a pioneer in dubstep with her sound. We need to keep remembering her music even if she's less active. It's really important and I just adore what she has created.

i was trying to explain to my daughter how amazing it was to be a young person pre-internet as we just really didnt know a lot about what people were doing or thinking? All we knew about artists was maybe MTV interviews if we managed to record it to VHS or like magazines.

there's a party on tonight with about 95% female artists on the lineup and it sold out about 2 months ago and it's gonna be rad and we will have a glorious evening and it was not advertised as a ladies night . An example of what IS possible.

20 years ago I co-wrote a song 'Dreams' that came out on Reinforced. There was a bit of a snafu with the artwork at the time and Alley Cat wasn't on the vinyl (but I had a writer credit). Today I am pleased to share with Marc Mac's help I'm finally on DSP's as Alley Cat + writer

Spirit's funeral yesterday was difficult but also beautiful. I learned a lot about his key role in the Ipswich scene. He really brought a lot of people together through his music and from selling records at Redeye. What a lovely community they have there. I miss him so much !!!

average 'everyday sexism' in music. On soundcloud someone asks for a tune ID - it's not on 'his' soundcloud page they say. It could actually be a she right? In fact it is a 'she' because it's one of my own tunes under an alias. People just assume its a dude being ironic

We should talk about the perpetual gaslighting in the music industry when trying to get the bare minimum out of folks that's like 'normal' stuff required . I'm used to it but once in a while this stuff gets to me sometimes.

it would be cool if on these amazing commercial dnb shows in the US if more women could be added to the lineups (of which there is many stateside talent that would smash it) I saw Iris on one bigger event (one) . IDK just spitballing here.

the A Bunch of Cuts concept was totally ahead of it's time. Yes I was involved in the events side but I mean the music platform ITSELF. Lightyears ahead. It was the Bandcamp of it's time. Want to celebrate that! And the events were of course epic - so many memories

help me understand people that are all wellness and P L U R and love DNB but also homo / transphobic and full of hate. not sure how good that is for the Qi . It's also wild to me in 2023 you'd say this stuff outright and believe a bunch of folks will validate your bigot-y views.

tunes from Total Science, Deep Blue (via Offshore) A Sides , Spirit, Ill Logic and Raf, Marcus Intalex and ST Files and much more ! Think 99- early 2000s

I was out for a walk earlier and i saw a doggo with no human so I went to say hi - it told me to
follow her so I did and she showed me where she lived and she tapped on the door with her little paw and I knocked and got her back home - so wholesome 💜🐾🐶🐕🦮

and we're now in September and label has barely engaged with me about this. Whatever the outcome of all of this and the name and branding I think its absolutely shite these guys can't take 10 minutes to have a discussion with me. I've been cool in not naming names thus far

💯 - even in touring / advancing just to get the MCs the same treatment as the DJs - these voices are vital to DNB / Jungle yet often treated like a burden or afterthought and its so disheartening 😞
On top of that, I think there is also a general (often unintentional) disrespect in dance music for singers/songwriters/topliners/vocalists.

also for the ppl who like me maybe have some executive function probs/shutdowns about production - find YOUR own workflow that works for YOU. I'll never be a technical whizz -I'm cool W/ that. I do it my way and thats good enough for me + a label that signed some of my tunes

here's my theory and it's going to be depressing but here goes :
Artist will go to shows and be fairly protected
Attendees will go to shows and not care and have fun
Festival and Venue stuff will all get covid in 2 to 3 weeks then events will get shut down anyway

these pioneers - especially women it is so so rare. She had a HUGE affect on me she probably doesn't even know. Stuff wasn't even digitally available yet but its out there now so it becomes even more timeless / available so if its 10 years old who cares? Iconic. Also Kito. TYSM.

I can't believe this. Leon and his dad were such a big part of my early years arriving in London..sitting around for hours - I'd bring my daughter after she was born to hang out with me for the day. Sweetest man. I'm so sad : (
So saddened to learn of the passing of Leon Chue the master dub plate cutting engineer at Music House London since the mid 90s ..his quiet, reserved demeanour and devotion to his craft was something to behold. Heartfelt condolences to his family. RIP Leon.

I FEEL SEEN - please read this is exactly how I feel. Yes we are open but it has not been easy and everyone is going to be messed up for a long time. And yes I'm grateful to be working again but it has been a load XL
Hate to break kayfabe on the timeline but every artist we work with feels burned out. Every artist we speak to feels burned out. Had three meetings yesterday, everyone burned out — and we've got festivals emailing at 10am telling us we need to respond to offers by noon.
