So sad to learn Maxi Jazz has passed away. Faithless were an iconic force in UK dance music from the mid 90's and touched so many lives. Throughout their meteoric rise to fame Maxi remained a warm, cool, friendly soul - dance music's poet- thoughts with his family and friends RIP

Sadly I'm unable to play my festival shows this weekend. Despite having the double jab I have Covid (although I am grateful for the added protection this gives and urge you to get yours). I know the festivals will be amazing - If you have symptoms stay home so we can beat this x

a speedy recovery and everybody suffering from this unprecedented pandemic - so sad to read some of the evil comments from the hard left on twitter tonight
Sad to announce our much loved trance cat Ryoko has passed away today. She became a star of my Trance Anthems lockdown shows and used to instinctively make her own way to my little studio every Sunday prior to going live - she loved the tunes we will miss her so much x

we first met in the early 80's in our Hip Hop days and the early days of House Music- he was a dedicated champion of new music and great company to hang out with - sending my thoughts to his family at this sad time RIP
One for my old Rave Crew- Back To 92. Been digging through old vinyl this was big at my Astoria London Raves back in the day. The whole venue would be shaking - so much energy - always used to pitch these up! Who remembers the other big Manix tune I used to hammer? Happy Memories
Always loved this Tune ! Remember this? On Tuesday night I continue my A to Z of Trance Anthems with the letter S on my Homeravetv show - send me your track nominations then join us live from 7pm Tuesday May 30th for Trance Anthems
Had my first jab today. Massive thanks to all the fab volunteers and amazing NHS staff - very well organised. It was kind of poignant to have it in a live events/ music arena - but gives me hope we will be back sometime soon.

Terrible news confirmed about the passing of Randall, amazing jungle drum & bass DJ. One of the foundational DJs, Randall was an original OG — too hot to handle. Andy C was his box boy, he was absolutely crucial to the birth of & continual flourishing of the dnb scene. RIP king.
Very sad to learn we have lost another member of our Dance Music Family. RIP Marcus Birks “Capella” who has tragically lost his battle with Covid. Thoughts with his wife Lis and family and friends and the artists he was working with RIP Marcus x
