Don’t forget… n e x t w e e k e n d Bank Holiday Sunday 25th May 2008 everyone within a hundred miles of Southampton is instructed to converge on The Hobbit pub in that town at precisely 1pm (don’t be late or you’ll miss my set!) for 12 hours of massive musical mayhem and good times galore.

I’ve been given the honour of starting the proceedings, 1-2 in the afternoon. There will be barbecue there with good food, so no need to have lunch before you come down. You should obviously expect to be dancing for the whole of my set 8-), but then you’ll have worked up a proper appetite and you’ll appreciate that nice charred burger all the more.

And of course, it’s all for a good cause: Everyone involved in putting on the party is giving their services and equipment for free, so all proceeds and donations go straight to Oxfam to help those whose need is so unimaginably greater than ours. We get a really great party. They get access to fresh water, or a goat, or emergency rations, and the support of an organisation which continues to campaign for a fairer world, for the rights of the world’s poorest people to clean water, sufficient food, shelter, healthcare, knowledge… the essentials of survival that we take for granted.

I’ll be playing alongside a baker’s dozen of the other finest southcoast DJs at this event, masterminded by those crazy folk over at Out Of The Void. The date and time for your diary is 1pm to 1am on the Bank Holiday Sunday 25th May, and it’s all for charidee, so even if you don’t care about seeing me play, come along anyway. Last year’s event was several metric shedloads of fun, and this one is shaping up to be even more awesome, if such a thing were possible.

Exactly what style of music I’ll be playing has yet to be determined… depends on the running order. But whatever it is, you can be sure it’s music for the mind, the heart and the feet, so come ready to dance…

EDIT: I’ll be on first (1pm) so I guess I’d better play something of an uplifting and progressive flavour (breaks/house/trance) rather than spooky techno. Probably.
