Well, back in June 2024 we hosted another Cut Above the Rest @ The Electric Circus in Burnley.
We rolled out the winning formulae from last time, namely myself and local scratch legend DJ Woody provided the music and the cuts.
And alongside this we had my bro and breakdancing champion mouse (plus friends) throwing down some moves to the music.
Here’s a couple of videos of some live video footage which i’ve been working on.
Created using a Sleepy Circuits Hyno and a Roland v8.
I’ll be performing with this and the Rane setup at my next gig on the 22nd of June with DJ Woody and world champion b-boy Mouse (and his b-boy friends).
If anyone want ticket for that gig you can find them here: https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Burnley/The-Electric-Circus/Cut-Above-the-Rest–DJ-Woody-Visual-Hip-Hop-set–B-Boy-Mouse/37387413/
Later this year i plan to create some oldschool, techno and breaks mixes with full visuals. I will try to upload them to Youtube, but the Tube can be a bit flaky for copyright restrictions. I will make HD download available for free to all my mailing list subscribers.
If you like the sound of this and want to be notified when they’re available just join my mailing list (click here).
This second video was generated with B-Boy Mouse dancing in my front room
This is all work in progress. More coming real soon

I’ve been looking into this myself for a while. I’ve been DJing for over 30 years and am pretty fortunate in that I’m not looking … Read more
I’m back making music again. Stop the press! Thought I’d just post a little picture of my latest bit of kit – a Novation Launchkey 61. I’ve been on a bit of a gear buying mission this year, first it was my new Rane scratch mixer (the Seventy Two). Also I’ve upgraded my copy of … Read more

Before we go any further, I’d like to mention that this guide is primarily concerned with DJ’ing websites made using WordPress. WordPress is what I use for web design, and it’s the platform with which I have the most experience. I also recommend it to other DJs if they’re planning to build their own website.
“Think differently,” – Apple Ad Recently, I was contacted by a mailing list subscriber curious about building their own DJ’ing website. They wanted to build a website that allowed them to share their mixes and mixtapes. A site that would also allow their friends and family to download (and stream) their music.
