Started the process of closing my twitter. Been on there since 2009. Shame because it was a great place until the dickheads messed it up.

Been neglecting this place. How's it going over here? Feels like I need everyone I know/follow to leave insta/twitter/Facebook & just meet in one place & delete the rest. Haven't had much to say recently either. Lots going on, just riding the wave until things settle I guess.

Turning 50 next Thursday.
I feel like I should mark the occasion with a mix or something but haven't had the time due to having loads going on. Maybe I can sort something & press record at my gig in #Ipswich tomorrow night 🤔

Thanks @cerysmatthews.bsky.social for the spins on BBC 6 Music this morning of both Konny Kon x [ K S R ]'s 'Part of the Plan' & of Amanda Whiting's 'Skating' ⛸️

The last couple of months I've been completing 100 push ups a day. I've felt great in body & mind. Broke off for a few days due to tiredness after a weekend of gigs & have felt crappy. Just did a split 50 & planked between. Definitely something to say about using energy gives you energy 💪🏼

End of the month I'm spinning tunes to celebrate my 50th!! 😎

This is me apprx 16 years old!! 🤣

We’re pleased to bring you a new collab from [ K S R ] & Konny Kon (@childrenofzeus): 'Part of the Plan / Faded from the Jump’

Big thanks to Victoria Jane with the world premiere on BBC Radio 1.

Available THIS FRIDAY Nov 22nd on ltd 7" vinyl / digital

So going forward, 2025 , my 50th year on earth & 33rd year DJing I'm gonna be looking at getting back to doing more varied gigs rather than being stuck in one place. 😎

This weekend just gone I played two nights at the same venue. Week before on Friday it was dead. I played music to approx 2 people & the bar staff for 3hrs before anyone else came in. It's soul destroying.

I need to start to enjoy playing more. Definitely needs a shake up.

DJing weekly at a venue that's changed so much since lockdown has become increasingly frustrating. The crowd (or lack of) has changed. As I turn 50 next month I feel like a change will be the way forward. Not quitting DJing but definitely see a change of pace in the new year.

Wheres the Hip Hop & R&B corners on here?

Where are all the DJs hiding?

Found an old roll of 🎞️ from a day at the circus featuring some Family & Friends. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey event sponsored by Kiss FM (1989)

Slide 4: Top: Ed Strickland (Tommy Boy Promotions), Tony Gray (Kiss FM PD), Bottom: Our flower girl dancers Jette & China.

Spinning tunes in #Ipswich again tonight. Looking for serious music heads to fill the venue before it's overrun with silly season punters expecting Abba & Mr Brightside all night. I can dream hey 🤣

Elon who?
