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:

DaZZla

Yves Le Franc

Alex (Guarana)

Monica Soldan

And of course, my long-suffering partners in crime, DJ Donald & Trevor o'Neil!

Pacha Sharm El Sheikh 7.12.2010

Here's a few pictures from my second gig playing at the amazing Pacha Sharm El Sheikh - this time me and Steve were playing alongside one of Ukraine's biggest DJ's - DJ Light. Thanks to all the crew at Pacha Sharm and of course the crowd for making it yet another unforgettable night!

Funk Voltage has a release date!

Just a quick note to let you know that Funk Voltage now has a release date - it'll be out on Beatport on 1/1/2011!

Accompanying the orginal mix will be mixes from Peter Brown and Maboo Inc vs Abel Riballo & KDS, both of which I have no hesitation in saying absolutely rock!

Gig - Pacha: Sharm El Sheikh 02.11.2010

So I'm finally now part of the Pacha family, and this week saw my first gig for them, at their Sharm El Sheikh venue in Egypt! I was playing alongside Steve Hulme and Josef Bamba as the Adult Entertainment Bang Bang DJ crew. As well as the gig itself, I got chance to play on the Pacha boat with Josef which was the icing on the cake for the trip! :)

I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who supported us at the gig - we couldn't have had a better crowd for the night - as well as Steve for giving me this amazing chance with Pacha, and everyone in Egypt for making us feel like kings while we were there!

New remix: Jose Sousa - Dos Gardinias (Rufus White Club Mix)

After another crazy year (now my 6th) in Ibiza, I'm now finally starting to get time to get back in the studio and make some new tracks! This is my first remix forthcoming on Pacha Recordings, and mixes some seriously old-skool (like 1930's old-skool) cuban goodness with my jacked-out funky sauce. Hope you like it, there's more on the way!!

New night: PEGGED! at Somni, Figuretas

I'm very excited to announce a new night that I'm organizing with a very good friend of mine, Trevor O'Neil which we'll be running at Somni, home to the legendary Rock Nights and Sense in Figuretas, Ibiza. The opening night will be Tuesday 13th July, starting at midnight.

Picking up where Xqueeze Me?! left off, it's going to be a bonanza of great House Music in all it's many and beautiful forms, concentrating on just fantastic music, and amazing party vibes.

Joining myself and Trevor on the decks for the opening night we have some amazing talent, including Dazzla (Pacha, Es Vive, Sands), and Toni French (Atzaro, Cala Conta) as well as my long running partner in crime, DJ Donald! If all this weren't enough, VJ Mie will be joining us from Tokyo, to grace the club with her ultra special flavour of trippy visuals!

Entry is free to all workers, all you have to do is join the facebook group to be put on the list - we'll be having a free pre-party at Coolture Cafe until 3am, and anyone at the pre-party will also be treated to free entry to the main event!

See you there!!!

You can see all the pictures from the night here.

Coming Soon: Rufus White & JP Chronic - Funk Voltage

I'm very pleased to finally be able to come clean and announce that Funk Voltage has been picked up by none other than Pacha Recordings!!! Those who know me, know what Pacha means to me, and has done since the moment I stepped into that club for the first time, so I'm definitely not understating the moment here when I say that this is a "Big Deal"© for me :D

This is the first track I've produced in collaboration with JP Chronic, and hopefully the first of many! Currently this one is slated to be included on no less than 3 of the Pacha Summer compilation CDs (Ibiza, UK and Australia), so expect to be hearing a lot of this track!

Coming Soon: DJ Farouche - I Won't Let You (Rufus White & JP Chronic Mix)

Just confirmed as shipping on the release of DJ Farouche's I Won't Let You, this is my second collaboration with fellow Ibiza resident JP Chronic. This mix starts off seemingly quite deep and techy, but after the piano laden breakdown, it explodes into a mainroom monster you can't help but pound the air to. 

This will be released on Miss Moneypenny's records, and Jim Shaft Ryan will be featuring it on Miss Moneypenny's radio tonight!

Coming Soon: This Old Man (clean thoughts only please)

Carrying on where Every Little Star left off, this track keeps the Northen Soul torch burning, giving the original Lou Lawton track a glitched up house rendition with a funky reggae feel, this one is great for playing as you're warming the dancefloor up, and the vocal brings instant feel-good vibes with no extra effort required!

Once again, my thanks go out to Soul Shift Music for releasing this, and the uber-talented producers who've rounded out this release with some seriously great takes on my original:

• The Cheeky Monkey is back - this time supplying some dirty dub stylings. Roots.
• Sebastian Ese once again supplies a slightly deeper house vibe, whilst still retaining some huge bass action. 
• SyblingQ joins us on this release to provide some grindy electro noise and general twanginess. 

I'll let you know as soon as this track is available from all the usual stores!

Now Available: Every Little Star

My first signed release, Every Little Star is now available from Beatport! Big thanks go out to Soul Shift Music for making this happen, and also The Cheeky Monkey and Sebastian Ese for their fantastic remixes of this track :) 

This is a cheeky little remix of an old Northern Soul track: Linda Scott's I've Told Every Little Star - I made it for those little moments towards the end of the set when you just want to hug the dancefloor!
