"In the North East of England there is a strange and hyper localised genre you have in all likelihood never heard of. It’s called Makina.

Emerging in the late nineties it fused European hard dance genres and became the instrumental backing to a generation of MCs who used it to talk about the intimate details of their lives, whilst hyping crowds at 180bpm.

It's the sound that builds community and exorcises demons. The sound that embraces difference and channels sensitivity. It's the sound of loss, deprivation and joy. It's tradition, identity, folksong; it's the sound of the North East."

It's been a long time. Since I was with music and my soul. Years. We abandoned each other.

I care no f***s for a brand, or an ego when I share myself on the decks. We are all equal.

So, as I played for the first time, casually with a s**tty usb, and awake for a day or two at the transition of Jabarwocky to new managers (❤️) - I felt my soul again. For the first time in too long. I was scared. Good. I felt.

My decks collect dust. I thought I'd lost my feeling with everything, everyone; which I spent the last few years trying to fight back for. It clicked. Something clicked.

With thiught and dragging my head through the gravel, I became something of the result of who i was. Dont we all? Who can be truly the the same as they were 3 years ago?

So from the FORGE, I become FORGED.

I'd love nothing more than to grasp my soul once more, bear it, open it, and share it with everyone I've ever seen move with me - those bodies and minds that inspired me. I saw your sweat. I saw your eyes close. I saw your hands in the air. Not for me... For the collective fu***ng hedonistic, reality defying joy.

See you on the dancefloors.

Music always wins.

Isis Moray and I got together for a Sunday mix and got a little carried away, resulting in a 3.5hr session. So much fun!

Expect a full journey across the full spectrum of techno - starting nice and easy, but don't expect it to stay that way...
