sharam has fun
"Fun" by Sharam
Love this tune! My favourite at the moment. The beat is good but its the vocals from Anousheh Khalili that hit the heart. No doubt this will be a big playa in Ibiza this summer!!
Listen to the "Funhouse" mix here on Beatport!

new from Afrojack
New tune from Afrojack:
"A masterly collaboration was born when Afrojack and Bobby Burns checked into the studio together. The first result was one of 2010’s top selling tracks ‘Bungee’, the second Beatport’s chart topper ‘Real High’. Now they are back with their third installment ‘Bridge’ and let us just tell you up front, it’s MASSIVE!
Afrojack has been a busy boy of late, releasing some brilliant tunes on his Wall label - including a doozy with Tocadisco, and if Bridge is as good as his previous release, "Replica", I'm all for it.
Available only at Beatport at the moment - so go there and have a listen.
More info from Afrojack website:

Pete Tong: ‘Premiered on BBC Radio 1’Annie Mac: ‘Played on BBC Radio 1’Tiesto: ‘Nice record’Armin van Buuren: ‘Cool record’David Guetta: ‘Full support from me!’Zane Lowe / BBC Radio 1: ‘Supported in my show’Steve Aoki: ‘Another monster!’"
the warm up
Back from the holiday season and looking forward to a hot 2011! Potentially not hot weather, but we are definitely going to turn up the heat with some good tunes, a bit of mixing and plenty of big parties!
Since I was last here in November, not a lot has happened on my own DJ development, but that will be rectified ASAP. Need to practice, practice, practice for a couple of upcoming mock gigs - more on that later.
Elsewhere though, things are hotting up!
*************************************************************************************
Christmas was spent in Australia with the family and I had a great time. A big delight was to be able to take my sister to see D Guetta at Summadayze at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on New Years Day. It rocked out and the sis loved Mr G - I think she is hooked now!
Photos and vid are up on Facebook but I might add them here later.
*************************************************************************************
I signed up to a couple of DJ resources for my own education and enjoyment.
I signed up to Beatport, the number one place to get cool dance music and to find out what's hot and exclusive. This is where I find out first what new music is out there and where I discover new artists. It is a very handy tool to use and it gives you a good couple of minutes preview of each song, as opposed to a measly 30 seconds. Perfect for finding that right tune. To be honest though, it is a bit more expensive than iTunes.
I've also got a subscription to MixMag now - the number one DJ/Dance magazine in the country. Spotted it while I was in Amsterdam in the local library, bought an issue (see earlier post) and subscribed on the spot. Perfect coverage of all things that groove and bounce and a free mixed CD to boot - perfect for populating the tune library.
************************************************************************************
The year is looking great for partying! Have a few things lined up already and a few ideas as well. Tickets booked for Guetta at Brixton Academy in early May and I have been keeping my eye out on plenty of other artists to see when they are in town - like Afrojack, Swedish House Mafia and Deadmau5.
The biggest party of them all though is . . .
IBIZA! Yes, we are back! And this time for a two week stint. Should be loads of sun, sand, sea and shenanigans. Keeping our eyes out for opening dates of the clubs - FMIF for sure (will be the third or possibly fourth time I see D Guetta in 2011), Space Opening Fiesta, DC 10 opening party, and many more!
And the big news I am excited about is being resident DJ at the villa we are renting. Sounds a lot cooler than it actually is, but with a villa full of party animals for the two weeks, I will be dishing out the tunes as warm ups for hitting the clubs. Will be a small exclusive crowd of great friends each night, but damn, they're going to lift the roof.

That's the update at the moment - plenty going on and plenty to do. Hoping to be more regular on the blog with news about my DJ development, Ibiza opening parties and all round good times!
