JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT…

...they pull me back in.

Yes, as I mentioned before I am out of DJ retirement to play at the ADDICT shop opening in Brighton on the 26th.

Now do not expect any fancy mixing or anything like that...just going to cross fade some nice tunes to make you all tap your feet & maybe shake that ass a little.

I am feeling very latin these days & may run a set in honour of my brother DJ SMOKE LES from NYC...represent Puerto Rico & few other Latin states....or in the end may just have little collection of eclectic sounds...who knows...meditating on both.

So come on down for night by the sea...hey you can stay in my room.

Be Well.

SAMUI

Being here has been a good experience, apart from all the radical changes that comes with Globalization. On this island there is so much more that reminds you there is more to this place than just swanky hotels & sandy beaches.

Nature...& thank god that there is some left in this Island. As I went on a road trip yesterday (Saturday), & ended up in the south of the island I was taken back to the time I was there last with the Paisley Princess. The vast amount of Jungle & fields of Palm Trees that are so beautiful & peaceful, this is the Samui I remember & glad that the Govt has limited the development in this part of the Island or this place would slowly turn to hell & that would be a complete shame.

The people here, Thai people are some of the nicest you will ever meet...Proud, Happy & full of life. I have never seen so many people smiling, & from all walks. Their philosophy of life is one to be admired, although there are many tourists that treat this place like any other...just another Holiday destination, & never seem to take anything in.

& For a small Island if you just dig a little deeper, you find a wealth of culture & history that makes us all look like fucking cavemen.

If I could find a fault with the Thai’s it is the desire to create an infrastructure that foreigners ‘Farangs’ can feel comfortable with & see things they can associate with home...Globalization. But if that is the Yin then the Yang is that they have the awareness to limit this Globalization enough that they do not lose their Identity & Culture. So there is a balance, but for me that balance comes at a cost. There are many assholes on this island & they are here because it is either a close, a cheaper destination...& there are some that want to be in Asia, but where they reside could be anywhere. Their comfort zones are the same as at home...get up go out further than the next fucking beach.

But at the same time there are a lot of good people here who do seek out the knowledge of this excellent culture, these awesome Thai People & you know what they are better & richer for it.

Ok that is it from me or I will start repeating myslef & you will all think I have lost it & will run off to some Ashram in the near future.

No not me...I am just paddling through the River of Life.

Be well.

SO

Yes...So I have been in Ko Samui for 3 days & today is the start of the 4th.

Last time I set foot on the island was 15 years ago & as you would expect things have changed in that time & really changed. When I was here last there were 20000 Thai’s living on the island & now you are looking at 100000 plus.

Slowly this is changing into a seriously plush resort...there is tons of development here, which I am not sure is a good thing or a bad thing...lets say good as it is development that got me here in the 1st place.

My man George has built 2 Villa’s here & is working on a 3rd...& these are no simple Villas, we are talking very private & super exclusive...I mean you could be here with your lady & be but naked all day & get up to all kinds of fun, & no one can bother you let alone see you. & to top it when you get bored of pool sex & naked swimming...there is enough hi tech in the house to satisfy your needs. It is silly.

There is alot of this type of Villas going up all around the island & it is said that Samui will become the Riviera of the East, & with all the major 5 Star Hotels opening up here & in the future, they are banking on this to happen & for sure it will. Some of these hotels are amazing...breathtaking even...but you need some bank to chill there.

What has really got me is the food, the restaurants here are outstanding...that different types of cusine available is just ridiculous & again not that much cheaper than being at home...ok that is a lie it is cheaper but some of the spots I have been to are pretty close. But the quality,delivery & surroundings are excellent...I mean the chefs are from all over the globe & killing it. So if you come & want fancy food you will definetly find it.

So today I start shooting & get these Villas down...bit of a challenge interiors & exteriors etc...but I know I can do it & make it look hot !!!

More Later....

Be Well.

OUT OF RETIREMENT…

Yes...it has been a few Eons, but I have been asked to DJ again...@ The Addict Party in Brighton 26th July.

Not sure where as yet...but will keep you posted.

Just an hour...one hour of music of which genre I have yet to decide...but I am feeling Latin for some reason, or just roll with a box of 7's...but there is time to change my mind...

Even went out & bought Serato (thank you mr Cyde for the info)...how good is that kit...only thing is I keep wanting to take the vinyl off & put it in the sleeve when the track is over...Doh !

Be Well.
