I’m rather looking forward to this one. If you’re in the vicinity of the north of England, get yourself down to the West Indian Centre in Leeds for Sunrise this Saturday 26th November. I’ll be playing in the psybreaks/progressive/glitch room alongside the awesome Unconscious Mind(s), Magiclantern, Mouldysoul and more; meanwhile room 1 features the mighty Lunar Seed, Compressor and many more laying down the big room psytrance ting.
Get yourselves down to the Soul Cellar in Southampton this Friday for what promises to be an epic night of underground sounds, including breaks, psytrance, techno and more (and that’s just my set!) from a huge number of very talented producers and DJs, plus amazing decor and the south’s friendliest, most up-for-it crowd!

If you’re on Google+, you can now add Quextal to your circles.
Because G+ currently lacks any equivalent of Facebook “Page”s, what I’ve done is to set this up as a separate acccount, purely for my music-related activities. This should ensure that I don’t drown you, my beloved fans, in irrelevant updates about my other interests, while conversely not pestering those of my friends who aren’t into my music (I know, right?) with news of my latest mix or gig.
As with all my social networking, my policy is to supply you with infrequent, high-quality, informational updates about things that you are likely to be interested in as a devoted Quextalyte 
The observant may also have noticed a Google ‘+1′ icon taking its place at the top of every article alongside the Facebook ‘Like’ button. As I understand it, using the ‘+1′ button is a Google rather than a Google+ thing (although it does integrate with the latter). So if you have a Google account, feel free to click on it as a way of recommending the article

Just for this month (July 2011), my NSB Radio show Quexotic Adventures will be swapping places with the Yellowfinger Variety Show, ie it will be on the second and fourth Saturdays (at the usual time, 7pm BST), then revert to the first and third for August. I have a hectic gig schedule in September so there might be other changes then – follow me on Facebook or Twitter to keep up with the latest.
So the revised dates are: 9th July; 23rd July; 6th August; 20th August.

It’s been a few months… so to mark the return of Quextal to Psymusic Radio, I’ve bagged not one but TWO special guests who’ll be joining me live at the Towers Of The Interstitial high-rise studio on Tue 14th Jun….
> > > RE:CREATION < < <
…returning for a second visit to these shores after rocking the show back in February of last year (gosh, has it been that long?) and rocking dancefloors up and down the land with his high-octane mind-blending psytrance and psybreaks.
And joining us for the first time, a man who in a very short space of time has established himself as one of the foremost psybreaks producers at large today (though rumour has it you might start hearing some psytrance from him at some point…)
> > > UNCONSCIOUS MIND(S) < < <
Together they are the evil geniuses behind Psychoactive Records, so expect plenty of EXCLUSIVE future tunes from that label, plus just generally some of the sickest psychedelic breaks and doof in the known galaxy.
DO NOT MISS THIS. Tune in live from 7.30pm UK time by going to Psymusic Radio and clicking on the icon for your player. Don’t forget to join us in the chatroom too, using the Chat link on that page.
