Please feel free to give this mix a bit of love and support if you can. It's my entry to Decoded magazine's monthly competition.

This is very much based on my current mindset of looking forward to a bit of relaxing time by a pool, sipping the odd cocktail, or two, or three etc. I say that but I'll likely spend most of it being attacked by my two lads! Likely the wife too! Oh well!! 😅

Fellow DJs, feel free to submit your own entry too, if you fancy it? If you win then just remember who gave you the tip!😁

This is my submission for Decoded's 'mix of the month' for August. This (to me) encapsulates some nice chilled summer vibes. Enough to get keep you dancing but not getting too sweaty in the blisteri

A bit of self-promotion from me now! This is a bit of a throwback to the days of mixing back to back with the wonderful LMST.

She decided to grow up and leave the DJing to me but she's a great DJ! LMST was another that learned through the turntables of the 90s. I miss the B2B DJ sessions we had and hope she gets back into it again, at some point 🫶🏻

Anyway, it's a bit 'blocky' this video but one we did a good few years back on NYE. Go on, give it a cheeky play to make us look like we have a few listeners😅❤️

I was just cleaning up an old back up drive and came across this mix that I did with the wonderful and awesome LMST! I do miss our back to back mixes, we ha...

....and how can we forget Hilfiger! 🔥❤️🔥❤️

Hi gang!

As we told you previously, over the coming weeks we are going to - in no particular order! - introduce you to the DJs on the lineup at our Zircon Live gig on Saturday 27th September, in Leicester UK.

Next up: Hilfiger started DJing in the 90’s on vinyl but stopped due to family commitments. He then became what everyone calls a Bedroom DJ for 20 years just spinning away to his kids and possibly (probably..?!) annoying his neighbours..!

Hilfiger moved to digital DJing in 2023 and has played on various online stations but you will now find him playing an absolute plethora of musical styles on Zircon Radio - where he also lends quite a hand behind the scenes, for which we are very grateful. Legend!

Tickets are still available to buy: visit https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Leicester/The-2Funky-Lounge-/Zircon-Live/41093692/ and enter the promo code djmatesrates to enjoy not only Hilfiger playing live but another FOURTEEN DJs too!
See you all there, your Zircon crew.

Hi gang!

As you by now know, over the coming weeks we are introducing you - in no particular order! - to the DJs on the lineup at our Zircon Live gig on Saturday 27th September, in Leicester UK.

This time we say hi to a Trance heavyweight, Dave Thomas. In his own words:

"Firstly I am absolutely thrilled to be asked to play at this night. I will be bringing my favourite genre: trance (and a bit of hard trance...): the variety, beat and fun you can have with it are second to none!"

Dave started DJing back in the 90s (on vinyl so he could pretend to be cool at DJ parties!) and continued to do so for a few years before life changed and he sold his decks ("...worst decision ever!!"). We can however all be very grateful that he finally picked it back up again three years ago with some Pioneer XDJs and hasn’t looked back since.

He played his first gig two years ago in London by winning the Paul Clark competition, playing at the iconic Godskitchen venue, and followed that up by gaining his own slot on the worlds largest trance station After Hours FM. He has since played out live for 5 different brands. As Dave states: "I love playing to a live, up-for-it crowd and feed off the energy as we go on the journey together..."

Hi guys. I recently swapped my equipment round and this is my first mix on my new and shiny set up.

It's not perfect as I'm getting to grips with everything being in a different place than I'm used to! That's not to give it a disservice though, it's still pretty good!

A short-ish mix of some mostly peak techno. Hope you get a chance to enjoy and support it. Mixed as part of my new and exciting journey with the Modul8 team.

Thanks 🖤❤️🖤

The next Modul8 event is confirmed for 19th September and we can't wait to see you there! In the meantime our team will be sharing some more of their mixes and here's a short and sweet one from resident DDH. As always, expect plenty of pumping peak techno to get you in the mood! Follow all the news....
