> More Pics from my recent US tour!! <
More pics from the tour!! Lots and Lots, so they might take a little while to load... The Flyer from Minneapolis...  DJing at Buzz/Cubik @ Nation in Washington, DC:  With some clubbers  I don't discriminate, no boobies are safe from signing...  RRRawrrrr! Signing a very nice American Girl's Bum...   In Cleveland Posing about...  I found the ultimate store in NYC! Yay! It sells dolls, unfortunately not sexdolls, just some mad toy things... Apparently you can go get their hair done and all sorts in there, theres a salon for kid's dolls, can you beleive that?? Mad...  At Sonar in Baltimore on Halloween... Nice outfit!!  RRRoCkk!  Hot Chicks in the Bathroom...  Now THAT'S big HaiRR!  Another imposter!! Hahaha!  These ones I pinched off www.ncdnb.com - there's tonnnnes more there - it was a CrAyzEEE night, as youc can see...           These ones are all off http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mikeythefurious/album?.dir=/5940 From RESPECT in LA, which was definitely one of the best gigs of the tour! Madness! Totally Rammed, amazing crowd, and the whole stage area and booth jsut got stormed by hot girls all dancing and then eventually rubbing up on me and all sorts of scandalous behaviour, quite a distraction, albeit a welcome one... I still was the picture of discression though, signing boobies was as far as it went... I had to be at the airport at 7am anyway, so there woudl have been no time for hankypanky even if i was corruptable by the ladies of LA... Anywya, thanks to all that came out & Justin & Machete for hooking it up, it was a blast!            Being manhandled by Californian GirLsss!!             At Octavios Fabulous Fetish party at Tribecca in Philly. Here is carpet boy - he is a 'rugman' and likes to have people walk or stand on him. I saw another one at Xris' smack party. He lay face up but had interesting goggles on. Nice thong over there too...  With my girl Carol, Xris Flam of www.mindswerve.com and his friend Amanda, and a girl in fab military jacket but I don't konw who she is, but i want that jacket. And her make-up skills...  Well if you've made it this far, I hope you were entertained... Lots more pics comign this week, some fun ones from Kashpoint on Friday in London, and some audio clips and video too if you're lucky...

Back from the US tour...
Got back from America last Friday, managed to score an upgrade from JFK which was much needed, the tour was great fun, but by the end of 3 weeks and 15-odd gigs it's good to be coming home. Came back to a bit of a messy house - my Dad had been trying to do a few DIY things to my kitchen while I was away, but he got a really bad cold and didn't really manage much, apart from moving all the tools and junk into my living room! Anyway, that's another story! I'd been really looking forward to meeting up with my mates back home and going to Kashpoint, cos I'd missed the last one, what with being touring America & all that - this one was themed "Day-glo Dickens" - Lots of UV blacklights and all that stuff, so I went in my most white outfit possible. As ever tonnes of fabulous outfits to be seen and some pretty mental performances (as you can see from the pics below) - makes a nice change from the DnB nights I go to the rest of the time. Since then I've just been trying to get over the jetlag, tidy up the house and office stuff - and get some excercise - I went the whole 3 weeks in America with no real opportunity to go to the gym or have a jog or anything so was feeling pretty lardy. Have got back into things at the gym, and ran 8 miles today which was ace. Pretty cold out though, oh! haha Some chavs all crammed up in a chavmobile boy racercar beeped at me a bunch and slowed right down and shouted at me and stuff as I was jogging along! Been getting that a bit now when I go jogging, people beeping and stuff. Quite amuzing, although I'm not quite sure what stimulates it. Went to teh Fridge in Brixton on Friday night with Robbie, to a trance night called Know-where - met up with Adam White and had a chat with Matt Darey and Graham Gold. I'm thinking about doing some more trance stuff next year, the last (and only) trance tracks I did last year did really well and got signed to Perfeco and a Paul Oakenfold CD - there's a lot more potential for that stuff to cross over and do better commercially than any of the Drum & Bass I do, so it's worth spending a bit of time on it I guess. I got some really good new CDs recently, on a Label called adjunabeats - really well produced and beautifully melodic stuff. Anwyayyyyyy - I better get on, have to do some email interviews now, then get my accounts and VAT return done 2moro, not much fun, but will be great to get it out of the way before Christmas... Here's a few pictures from Kashpoint last weekend:

Aching
Greetings. Christmas Greetings in fact...  That's my friend the MouseDeer. I met him and his other mousedeer friend in the Central Park Zoo in NYC, when I went with my GF Carol. I think you will agree they are ace animals. Just do a bit of a google search to learn about how fabulous they are if you wish. They are also called Chevrotains and live in the jungle in Thailand, are pretty much nocturnal and rather timid and solitary. They are neither mouse, nor deer, and I think would make a great pet, esp for someone like me, who is also quite nocturnal. Anyway, enough mousdeering for now, wait till I finish making the DVD. My legs are aching a lot, shouldn't have run 8 miles, I think the health benefits of the excercise are outweighed by the negative effects on my poor leGs. Was up late doign my accounts, gotta finish them this afternoon, then do my quaterly VAT return. Not exactly fun, but it's good to be able to sleep at night and know the taxman isn't going to come and bash my door down for not doing the records properly. Listening to the Smiths this morning, I was a late starter on Morrissey really, but I absolutely love his new album, and have bought most of the older Smiths albums too. Proper songs like that just makes DnB seem like playschool. Wrote a couple of articles for some Music Tech magasines yesterday, a peice on DnB in general and its subgenres for Future music, and a little peice for Computer Music jsut about the software I use. I'm actually doing one of the new demo songs for Reason 3 next week too, inbetween Xmas and NYE - they hooked me up with the pre-release - I jsut have to learn how to use it first... Shouldn't be too hard, I hear its a doddle, and will def be a useful skill, I can never be really bothered to get entrenched in Logic when I'm on the road with only the laptop, and squeezing everythign in the airoplane seat. Thank god for Books. Oh, and in the spirit of Christmas and boobies, click here for the adven bouncing boobies Calendar: Boobies for Peace Advent Calendar

Almost Christmas
Gawd, what's with these gits spamming my comments? Retarded. I have to keep trying to delete them. Bleurg. Was up very late finishing my accounts last night - almost done now, but i have to get into town and do some last minute shopping today, and tidy up the house for when Carol arrives, and get my dad over here to help with sorting out the kitchen! Arg! Stressssss. There seem to be less boy racers zooming up the street near my house these days, which is appreciated. I haven't had any carol singers come by, but then again, I probably wouldnt hear them over whatever my itunes was blasting. Today is Steve's Birthday, and I'm playing at Herbal in London, so there's a convoy of us going up there, presumably to look after him when he's drunk. He's been planning it for a while, so I fear there may be some linus puking bizniz. I'll make sure im in the OtHeR car. A lot of the presents i ordered off eBay and Amazon still havent arrived, or the new Hard Disks I ordered last week, which i need to edit my tour footage, which i was hoping to get done in time to give DVDs to a few mates. I think I'm gona have to do some serious last-minute shopping this avo to cover my back. God, I was jsut looking for pictures of MouseDeers to put on here and found some bastard Hunter who hunts them! Rex Baker is his name. What a horrible dude. Somebody ought to hunt him.  Here's is a happy MouseDeer:

Crimbo Limbo
I'll keep this quick, many tasks to do today... Have just found a few more pictures from Halloween, when I was over in America - think I played Sonar in Baltimore back then. The first 4 are from NYC when I went to Larry T's Thursday night party at the Crobar with Carol - we met some guys/girls in crazy outfits and took a few shots. The other few pics are in Baltimore with supermegaVocalist Libby Picken, and Kyle and Carol of course.        Have had a prett nice Christmas, am just getting back to normality and trying to get some music done in time for my New Year's gig in LA, I'm flying out there on Thursday, and have to do my VAT return before then, so time is tight. Carol came over for a few days - we just went to the Hobgoblin, the local pub on Christmas Eve, it was totally way rammed, and I didn't really know that many ppl there so it was jsut a bit bleeerrr - Christmas day was cool, just went over to my parents and had dinner, my sister adn her BF were there too. Stayed till pretty late, then went for a quick walk by the river to get some fresh air and a bit of excercise, got home about 8 - in time for Eastenders, then pretty much just chilled, think I watched a DVD or something. Boxing day was nice too, just had a pub lunch, took Carol to the airport, then went over to the Arts' Centre to buy some tokens for my Dad, but they were shut - gona have to go 2moro - then hooked up with Martin & his brother, Styles, Black and his sister, at the Hinds Head Pub in Bray (where the Queen visited once apparently). Played Vice city with all the cheats on for a while. Exciting stuff eh? been for a run today, just 4 miles, in 31 mins, which is ok, its really cold at the moment so i had to go easy incase i slipped on the ice. Am doing a lot of backups at the moment and Dad is here assembling somethign in teh Kitchen. I'll try to get on it in the studio tonight.... Hope all is well out there with whoever you peope are that read my blog - Merry Christmas and all that...
