Pacha Hits (2011) released!

I've just had word that Blanco Y Negro have just released Pacha Hits (2011) - this is a 3CD set that I mixed with 60 (yes, 60!) tracks, and contains some of the biggest tracks from the last couple of years. CD1 is an all-out, take no prisoners mainroom banger-fest, featuring the likes of Martin Solveig, Steve Angello and Dirty South. CD2 has more of a straight-up house feel to it, with some of my favorite tracks, including Bambola (Tuccillo), Hey Nah Neh Nah (Milk & Sugar Vs. Vaya Con Dios), and my own mix of Jouse Sousa's Dos Gardenias! :) CD3 takes a more Techy/Progressive journey, with yet more great tracks - Nalin & Kane - Beachball (the always-fantasic Joris Voorn mix), The Girl You Lost to Cocaine (Sander Van Doorn) and Mark Knight & Funkagenda's epic Man With the Red Face.

A little something extra from Dubai

Just when I thought I'd run out of amazing things to see in Dubai, I noticed my Pacha mix CD on the best seller's shelf in Dubai airport! Yeeha!

Pacha Ibiza hits Dubai + interview in Khaleej Times

A big thanks to everyone who made it to our Pacha Dubai night at Nasimi Beach Club, you made it an absolutely fantastic night, especially after the venue got hit by sandstorms earlier in the day! Below is an interview with me and Juan Diaz that appeared in the Khaleej Times on 27.01.2011 - you can read it on the Khaleej Times website here:

Pacha 2011 (Part 1) is #1 in Germany!

I've just had word that Pacha 2011 (Part 1), is currently #1 on the iTunes Germany album charts! As well as having mixed CD1, it finishes up with my original mix of Funk Voltage, alongside such other house music luminaries as Todd Terry, Sander Kleinenberg, Milk & Sugar and Kurd Maverick, which makes it a double-whammy of stokedness for me! Big thanks to everyone who's bought the compilation so far, and to those that haven't, you can purchase it on iTunes and Beatport for those in Germany, and for everyone else from DJTunes.

Happy 2011!

I'd just like to wish everyone a happy New Year's Eve, and a fantastic 2011! Here's a quick look back at some of my favorite moments of 2010...

2010 has been a seriously hectic year for me, not only have I signed and released my first track, which was a big milestone for me (thanks to Rob and Soul Shift Music!!), but I've released another more, and if that weren't enough, signed my first release to Pacha Recordings which will be released on 1/1/11! It's already been out on 3 Pacha International compilations so far, and destined for more in 2011 :)

As well as my normal residency at Coolture Cafe, I managed to start 2 nights during the summer in Ibiza, one at the start of the season with JP Cronic - Xqueeze Me, and then another later on with Trevor o'Neil - Pegged. Pegged was so popular during the Summer, we were able to keep running it through into the Winter, and I'd really like to thank everyone who's supported us throughout the year with it! Pegged will be back around March in 2011, so watch this space ;)

I'd also like to give shout-outs to the amazingly talented DJ's, Producers and Artists I've had the pleasure of working alongside this year:
