Yo everyone!

Just got back from Poznan in Poland over the weekend and was writing this as i waited for my delayed 6 hours flight. I thought i was being smart aiming to leave right after my set at 6am. Arrived at the airport at 5am to be told we wouldnt be leaving till 10am! Cant said i was overjoyed at the thought of another 5 hours in Poznan but what can you do! The good news is the gig was brilliant, one of the best in a while in Poland. The Polish fans are so fanatical, know all tracks so as you can imagine the atmosphere was superb!
Its a looks like its a while before i am back in Poland. Sunrise in the summer.

The weekend before i was in Edmonton and Vancouver. I love playing Canada. Such a beautiful country and the people are so friendly. I played an Afterhours club after an event which was on earlier in the night. Really cool, got really busy and hot in there which i like! Got to play loads of different styles and dig out some older bits. Really enjoyed it, one of those gigs where i wasnt expecting much and ended up being class. Typically i couldnt sleep after the club at all, so i went to Vancouver on no sleep at all. Vancouver is one of my favourite cities in the world. The landing is so picturesque. I went out for some sushi with the promotors before the gig and then went to the venue. It was all over 19s so it was quite a young crowd and not much typical trance stuff worked so it was great to smash it out! I ended up going to some after party in a really glam club, was crazy. Crawled back to bed at 9am and slept till my flight. Thanks to everyone that came to both parties!! I am back in Toronto for ASOT 450 so ill see ya there!

The weekend before was a visit to Amsterdam. One of the best parties i have played there. I love all Ram’s (the promotors events) slightly older crowd but always really up for it. Plus 3 weeks of no partying after xmas was getting a tad boring, was good to get on the road again. 2 good friends came with me and my mate from Cork came down to the event which was good to have everyone there. Always makes such a diff having friends with you on these trips.

Many thanks to all of you that emailed me for Podcast suggestion names. Really appreciated. I decided to go with Digital Showdown chosen by Darrin Slater in Melbourne. Thanks again to everyone! I am in Australia in May so willsee Darrin then! Legend!
