25 years ago today…
My Dad snuck a video camera into the Nou Camp and (imo) took the greatest fan footage of all-time…
I still can’t believe he captured both goals that won us the treble.

Problem is… most people are going to watch a DJ for them to play one or two big & viral songs, to post on social media, rather than wanting to dance to well-curated music for 2, 5, 10 hours.
I like Mochakk.
Looks like he’s having the time of his life up there.
Pulls out top tunes that not many DJs play, like this absolute classic.
Feel like he’s doing it for the right reasons and wants to just share good music.
Doesn’t deserve the stick he gets online.
🌊 DEEP HOUSE CLASSICS 🌊
Honestly... I'm beyond happy and proud that this playlist is nearly at 1,000 followers: .
Starting a thread on here to share one track a day from the playlist.

This is my Dad, he’s 62…
A Northern Soul dancer at heart, last night he DJd for the first time in his life at one of the small Soul events he goes to dance at, playing some 12” & 7” records. Totally out of his comfort zone.
Makes me proud & happy to see. His face says it all.
... and here's a few more unseen bits from after the game, with Beckham,
@GNev2
, Stam, Cole... and the United fans singing for Scholes & Keane, which was used amazingly well in the 99 documentary.
The whole internet and British press reporting that Blackpool Tower is on fire, but it turns out to be a bit of orange tarpaulin blowing in the wind...
The most Lancashire thing of all time. 😂😂😂
About two years ago, I posted some footage that my Dad took at the Champions League final back in 1999, which went a bit crazy on here.
Fast forward two years, tonight we went to the world premiere of 99, a three-part series about the treble winning season, which drops next
I love the internet.
A year ago I posted about DJ Koco on

Insta. The reaction was insane...
We wanted to get him involved, today he’s just blown people’s minds all the way from Tokyo, on the

Another proud moment. What a genius! 🧙
🥶 James Blake - I Want You To Know
@jamesblake
's new album is incredible. An absolute genius.
This flip of 'Beautiful' by Snoop, Pharrell & Charlie Wilson is wild... feels like his 'Archangel' by Burial moment. Stunning.
These three songs were produced by the same person, and now my whole life makes sense.
Amerie - 1 Thing
Beyoncé & Jay-Z - Crazy In Love
Jennifer Lopez - Get Right
Massive shoutout to Rich Harrison.
That was it. That was the moment...

Everything I’ve tried to do over the past 10 years, connecting people online through music.
Buzzing! 😀😅
Not enough people talk about how much of a legend Maya Jane Coles is.
- Top of her game for 14 years
- One of the best remixers in the game
- Writes tons of original music
- Huge anthems like ‘What They Say’
- Produces multiple genres
- Also a very sick DJ
Top 5 for me, easily.
4 years ago today I started at
@defectedrecords
... 🏠
I’ve done some mad shit in my time at this company, including the first ever Live Stream from Tower Bridge, four Croatia’s, countless other events, 100’s of radio shows, amazing records...
After 10 years of working across dance music social media channels, I'm bored and tired of seeing comments like this... and I see them almost every day.
Automatic block and delete if seen on

The complete opposite of what we need in this world.
Watching
@haylasings
perform 'Where You Are' in our local East London pub was quite overwhelming. What an incredible vocal performance. Flawless.

50% of staff at Bandcamp laid off today, including many of the editorial team… which I find so sad.
It’s a platform that has been built on embracing & supporting independent artists & labels, and shouting about niche genres that you don’t hear about anywhere else…
And in a

… so proud of the whole team, from top to bottom. What we’ve achieved together in the past few years is crazy. ▶️
And shoutout to
@SimonDunmore
for everything he’s achieved in this crazy industry. An inspiration.
Fuck it, I’m bringing my blog back.
I just listened to ‘Heavy Heavy’ by Young Fathers for the first time (shocking I know) on my way home from work, and it made me realise how I hate what I’ve become.
I used to do a Top 100 (!!!) list of my favourite albums of the year, and now
I feel very lucky to be able to watch people like
@LouieVeganyc
do their thing from this position.
I’m in awe every time I see this guy DJ. Makes it look far too easy.

The whole album is just perfect from start to finish.
Yesterday we did a festival in London for 12,000 people. 🤯
Surrounded by the best team & house music legends, it’s overwhelming & difficult to put into words how it feels when you see that many people partying to the music we release. 12 months of hard work paid off. 🙏
Two years ago today since we had DJs play on the top of Tower Bridge for the first time ever.
I’ll never forget this moment when we hit that perfect shot of London for ‘At Night’. 😅
Makes me realise how much I miss ‘normal’ London.
@samdivine
Kwabs is one of my favourite singers in the world.
He has a once-in-a-lifetime voice.
This shit broke my heart...
I condensed his 11-minute video into 2 mins (as couldn't post anymore).
Please retweet & share.
Big love,
@Kwabs

Honestly a bit blown away by this. 😳
Honoured to have been included in The Future 50, which is
