Valve Sound System @ The Mass, Brixton....OMG!

Firstly, I'm kinda annoyed as I missed Dillinja's set (and I've been dying to see him play for years)

But man, the Sound System was immense!!!
The whole building (The Mass, St. Matthews Church, Brixton) was physically shaking. People were buying drinks from the bar and the second they put them down, the basslines were sending glasses smashing onto the floor! (it was THAT intense; I swear I counted at least 50 speakers?!)
I haven't felt basslines like that since going to Reggae Sound System dances when I was younger! Some serious power going on (Jah Shaka-style business!)
Luckily I did catch Lemon D's set and hearing him play "Capone - Jah" b2b with "Dillinja - Why?" simultaneously had my face smiling and my chest pounding!

Another highlight was Grooverider's set, hearing him drop "Future Prophecies - Nightmare Walking" was epic! (it was like the sound of a ferocious beast tearing the building apart!)


What a night. My chest really felt it though. And my hearing still hasn't fully returned, 2 days later...!

Debut 12" single "Miracle - Polluted Beach" released on Beeswax


After nearly a year since being signed (wow, the Drum & Bass vinyl release process really is THAT long!), "Miracle - Polluted Beach" on Beeswax Records is now in your stores!

Featuring a hard amen remix by my alter-ego Menacer on the flip, this 12" is definitely one for the dancefloors this summer!
