Live at Fazz’s Birthday at Stanley’s (March 2023)

The big dog, Andrew Fazzolari, blew out an undisclosed number of candles in March and decided to celebrate the occasion with a good ol’ fashioned Saturday shindig at Stanley’s.

The Fazz curated a hand-picked line-up of selectors for the special occasion and generously gifted me the first two hours of the balmy Autumn evening!

I entered the venue at the tail-end of, shall we say, a “colourful” daytime takeover that was many hours—and countless beverages—deep, and was greeted by an intriguing soundtrack of popular radio-played bangers from the start of the century; ‘Ms. Jackson’ and ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, notably.

At its conclusion, we were afforded a few sought-after moments of serenity while the Technics were rolled out and added to the booth. I was afforded the opportunity to allow the dust—and, indeed, serotonin!—to settle, and re-set things with some lower, slower groovers, just as intended.

I prepared a bespoke “crate” of selections filled with some of the birthday boy’s personal favourites and guilty pleasures, along with others I thought he might enjoy. I believe I hit the brief and was pretty pleased with the result. Most importantly, The Fazz seemed to enjoy himself right through ’till the call for last drinks.

In any case, I hope you enjoy it, too.

Live at S*A*S*H (12th January, 2020)—with Andrew Fazzolari

Seriously. Shame on me for leaving my site without an update for this length of time. I’ve been keeping very busy, playing plenty of sets—you know, before this COVID thing hit—and have published a slew of new mixes and material.

I’ll begin adding all of them—well, the notable ones—to the site over the next little while. If you’re a little on the impatient side; rest assured, everything worth your time is available via my Soundcloud page.

Looking at this particular effort, though:

Andrew Fazzolari and I were kindly asked to open proceedings at S*A*S*H By Day on a Sunday afternoon in January this year. Despite it appearing to be a smoky—and later, a rainy—affair in its early stages; the show must go on… and it certainly did.

We kicked off on the lower, slower, deeper tip, throwing on a selection of sub-110 BPM burners, setting the stage—and warming the floor—for Sondrio, Mo’funk and later… Black Loops!

Within this couple-of-hour-long offering, you’ll hear a range of selections from the likes of Tilman, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Frits Wentink, Harold Heath, Jehan and Admin, to name just a few.

Many thanks, as always to Cris, Kerry and the S*A*S*H collective for keeping us in mind—as always, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We hope it warms your day/evening as it did on Sunday. Hope you enjoy as much!
