DJ Call Me Dave

This Saturday I’ll be raising some funds for Action Research with and

16km hike up and down Skiddaw peak
62km cycle round it
3.2 kayak after it

Donate if you can, but we’ve hit our target so no need to. I largely blame this on Henry and I deciding that we should stop getting thoroughly pished each time we met up. Lycra and bikes replaced wine and hangovers. I’m not sure which is worse.

All good fun and I’ll let you know how it goes as we race the sun.

This was taken 5 minutes before my set at Church of Love from this weekend. 30 minutes of constant rain followed by a break in the clouds to let us dance. Thanks to and her funk aerobics team and then of course to for having me along.

The final was memorable for the rain, the mud, and some great times too. Lovely to catch up with so many people.

You can hear the mix on my Soundcloud.

My set time for Shindig festival on the very open Church of Love stage. Bring a disco-brolly ☂️

Tomorrow at 3pm I’ll be joining DJ Emma on Brixton Radio to discuss all things Shindig. I’ll also play a mini-mix on artists and tracks that are part of my memories at this ace festival.

It’ll be especially poignant to reminisce given that this is Shindig’s final year. One of many UK independent festivals coming to an end this year. Emma and I have both DJ’d at Shindig so it’ll be cool to share war stories.

Selection of posters from each of the years I’ve been. Shindig you’ll be missed.

Van life in Northern Spain was an absolute treat. Beautiful hikes, delicious food, quality wine at every turn, and a pizza vending machine (has technology gone too far). Everyone we met was an absolute delight. Highly recommend that this is on your bucket list of places to explore.

Midnight in the Swingamajig at Shambala gave me the chance to play a harder set than I normally can. The art of being a warm up DJ is to play to the room. The room this time was ready to bounce.

This is another live set, mistakes and all. You can hear the nerves in the first two mixes.

Tried a few new things that I’m working into my mixes. Firstly allowing the mix to fade to near silence to punctuate things before dropping the next track. Secondly was more cut mixing opposed to my normal blends. Cutting means you’ve got to be bang on with the track phrasing but the results are great when it lands well.

What a night it was too! Hoola hoop dancers (.0 thanks), a confetti cannon, and randomly having some old school friends appear at the barrier.

Big ups to Tom and Rich ( and .cat.in.the.hat) for letting me loose on your tent. Shout outs to Jonah (Verstyle) for managing the stage like a pro. And well done again on another stellar year of love and music.

2023 was a fab year personally and for DJing. Thanks to all the lovely people who supported me, booked me, DJ’d with me, sent me tracks, or listened to my mixes on Soundcloud. Some highlight:

1. Kicking off the year with my b2b homie
2. Passed the WSET Wine Exam
3. Hiked the crap out of Scaffell Pike
4. Swingamajig festival was lush
5. Popping my Shindig cherry with
6. Oh my word Suckafest was off the charts
7. Why hello
8. Cycled round the Isle of Wiggot
9. Supported on their pre-hiatus tour (cringe lift mirror pic as it’s all I can find right now)
10. Oh and my personal highlight, got married to the incredible

What a year. DJing definitely has taken a bit of a back seat with my attention on weddings and work things the latter part of the year. So far expect to see me at Suckafest next year and then we’ll see what happens… Any promoters or bookers HMU x
