Sum up this podcast in 10 words…

Great opportunity to mix music I really wanted to play.

What’s your personal favourite track on it?

Aside from my upcoming single Go Deep there’s an upcoming ID on there that I am super hyped about.

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?

It’s packed with unreleased music that people haven’t heard yet but that hopefully they will love.

Tell us about your next release.

It’s called Go Deep, and it’s a collab with Mark Knight and Gene Farris. Mark’s been a massive influence—he knows this industry inside out and has been super supportive. Gene is obviously a legend and brings so much personality to the track. It’s got that proper driving house vibe, something that’ll hit hard in the clubs. Honestly, I’m just excited to get it out there and see how people react.

What have you got coming up?

An EP on In Rotation and a track on Nervous, then lots more that I can’t tell you about yet!

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?

Massive thanks for your support. If you love the music, give me a follow on Spotify and if you see me at a gig come say hi!
