Gigs and Stuff - October 2009

October's been pretty sweet for me gig-wise! Pacha London was awesome on 16th October playing alongside the likes of Bodyrox and Marcella Woods. I twisted up the Global room from 3-4am then I hit the main room for the last stint until 5am. Everyone was loving the wonky stuff, so expect some more of that in the future from me! And of course with being back at Uni all the students have their loans in and there are plenty of mint events to be playing at. I have played for the Student Radio Awards Nominations party and a brand new 'I Love Student Radio' event where even Greg James turned up!

Me at the SRA Nominations Party

I know all of you are probably wondering what's going on with my radio show - well I should be gracing the cyberwaves of Smoke Radio within the next few weeks - so keep your eyes out here!

PACHA PACHA PACHA

So it's the University of Westminster Freshers Ball @ Pacha, London tomorrow (Friday 16th October 2009) and guess what?! Yup! I'm playing! So what kind of tunes can you expect to hear - well without giving too much of my set away... Here is a mix for all you lovely people who want to get in the mood for the Freshers Ball (stick this on as your getting ready to go out!) or for you poor people who couldn't make it (London is far away for some of you loyal readers but there's no excuse not to listen to this beautiful mix from anywhere in the world!) Check it OUT!

Deadmau5 @ The Roundhou5e!

Hello! Hope you all are good! 5o I went down to 5ee the Mau5 5ma5h up The Roundhou5e la5t night - and ye5 he well and truly killed it. Joel played a con5iderably long 5et, which kept the crowd bouncing for over two hour5. CO2 cannon5 were in full 5trength (well not quite a5 mental a5 the cannon5 in Ibiza, but the novelty wa5 5till there!) and 5o wa5 the mu5ic. A5 he ran on 5tage from hi5 OTT vi5ual intro, hi5 5igniture Mau5 hat 5hadow wa5 projected onto the roof of the Roundhou5e a5 the light5 5hone from behind him. He 5tarted with about 30min5 of new material, which in true Deadmau5 5tyle wa5 fanta5tically melodic. He gradually built into track5 from the new album kicking off with 'FML'. He continued as he meant to go on with track5 like 'Sometimes Things Get Complicated' fu5ed with hi5 mix of Calvin Harris's 'I'm Not Alone'. Tracks like 'You Need A Ladder' (the Zelda theme tune) and 'Ghosts and Stuff' got the Mau5 dancing like the inner geek, flapping hi5 arm5 in the air and jumping on the table and embracing the vi5ual5 of 'Space Invaders'. Another 5lightly worrying factor about the Canadian'5 5et wa5 the amount5 of confetti cannon5 - it 5eems he mu5t have been either to a lot of wedding5 recently, or perhaps this is the Mau5 5howing off hi5 feminine 5ide with 5ilver, red and white 5treamer5 erupting every time an epic breakdown kicked back in with hi5 5igniture thumping ba55.

5treamers and odd dancing a5ide, Zimmerman wa5 truely on form la5t night and if anything was to take away it would be the final track. I don't think thi5 video need5 any description but it's what Deadmau5 fini5hed with and it wa5 BRILLIANT!

How cool i5 that! Keep your eye5 peeled for ticket5 at your local venue - he i5 gigging for the next week or 5o - go and 5ee! If not I'm 5ure you will be able to catch a load of it on YouTube!
