First let's get a few things out of the way. Yes, I am/was that bloke in Everything But The Girl. Yes, I recorded 'North Marine Drive' in my youth. Yes, I have been a DJ for over 10 years. Yes, I wrote a book in 1996 called 'Patient' about surviving an extremely rare life-threatening illness. Yes, I now run two independent record labels called Buzzin' Fly (House and Techno flavours) and Strange Feeling (Alt-Indie). OK, that's that cleared up.

Upcoming biz. Buzzin' Fly celebrates its 5th Birthday this year. We release a triple unmixed compilation in June, two parts retrospective, one part future-facing with brand new tracks. It is called 'Buzzin' Fly - 5 Golden Years In The Wilderness'. Stay focussed, folks!

Other Buzzin' Fly hazards in your way - Justin Martin's 'Chaos Restored' mix CD (came out Nov 2007 but still ace) and the debut studio album from Mlle Caro & Franck Garcia (out Feb 2008) and even more ace.

So ... what else is new? Buzzin' Fly is throwing parties every other month on a Saturday at The End in central London. I have just been made a resident at We Love Space Sundays in Ibiza this year. Look out for me on June 15, Jul 6 and twice in September. Meanwhile, the Buzzin' Fly Radio Show that I present and edit moves to a new weekly slot on Kiss FM on Wed Apr 23. If you can't tune in live we do a worldwide LISTEN AGAIN re-stream for 7 days at the Buzzin' Fly website.

On the Strange Feeling front, 'When The Deer Wore Blue' by Figurines is out now (look out for ace Prins Thomas remix) and there is stuff in the pipeline from The Unbending Trees and others.
