Telegram For the City of Vancouver!

Wow, what an amazing couple of years that was! Far from the comforts of my European home and welcomed to an exciting new city and continent; this amazing opportunity to visit/DJ in Vancouver took only one second to decide, and it was the best thing to happen to me!


I recently sat in a pub back home in good old Blighty, and reflected on the friendships and achievements made over such a small period of time. Number one for me had to be winning the VNA 2010 electronic DJ of the year, then spinning a million gigs during the Winter Olympics, opening up for some of the worlds top DJs etc. etc.


But apart from all that, the thing that gets me and makes me smile, is the fact that Vancouver should be so proud to have an amazing community and love for music like it does. Never have I seen a group of close knit friends from all walks of life and jobs been so close, and that is very rare! Vancouver is very lucky to have such people like you who are entusiastic about what they do, and how much time and effort you all put it in creating a party. To me that is the most important thing I will remember about my time here.


I asked Justin Trinidad ( Fucking good DJ ps ;) ) to write this note as a thank you to all whom I have worked with and for. Being here I had the luxury of working at Vancouver's top clubs for Alan @ Barcelona and Barry @ Ginger 62 to name a few, but this would never have happened without the break I got from Joe Luciak at the Cecil :). Good old days...long live the Cecil!


Apart from its top clubs I appreciated the time I spent playing every Wednesday for Ray, Tyscon and Cassidy @ Sip lounge ( the best lounge in the city :) ). These venues all over town would be nothing without its DJs and bar stars; you all made me feel welcome and one of your own.
