Having finally recovered from the mayhem that was Ibiza 2009 I can definitely say it was one of my favourite gigs to date. It was also one of my favourite holidays to date, with a few days before/after Space to chill out in the sun with a group of my close friends.

We Love itself was an amazing experience from the moment of arriving in front of Space and feeling the hairs on my neck stand up at the thought of what I was about to do. Being led in through the back doors of Space is always an amazing experience, past the fridges and kitchens along a twisty maze of passages until faced with a row of doors which open and lead out into the cavernous discoteca. From there we had a few hours to soak up the atmosphere before my set at 2am. We caught an excellent set from local legend Alfredo on the Sunset Terrace followed by an awesome set from Tiefschwarz in the Terazza before it was time to head upstairs and catch red box regular Jem Haynes.
As 2am quickly arrived it was time to put any nerves to the back of my mind and take to the decks in the already packed red box. The crowd were brilliant, responding encouragingly to my track selection and constant pogoing around the booth. Despite my set being at the same time as Grace Jones, David Guetta and Paul Woolford the red box remained packed throughout, with a queue of enthusiastic clubbers waiting outside to be let in by the bouncers when space became available.
Rocking the red box
By 4am I was glad to see the familiar face of Paul Arnold arrive in the booth to relieve me, as I had by this stage become a sweaty, tired mess from 2 hours of jumping around the booth. After finishing my set there was time to sit down and listen to some of Paul’s set before heading downstairs to the Terazza to see one of my personal favourite DJs, James Zabiela, close the night.
All in all an amazing experience, big thanks to Paul Arnold from Chew The Fat! and Mark Broadbent and all from We Love for making it happen, not to mention all of my friends for supporting me both in Ibiza and from back home. Here’s hoping I will get the chance to repeat the experience next year!
Leaving Space

Here we go then. I haven’t done a proper mix of the stuff I like to play out for a few months, so I thought “why does a mix need to fit on a CD if it’snever going to get put on one?”
Funnily enough most of the tracks are still only ones I’ve bought in the last couple of weeks, with the anticipation of playing at We Have Fun’s 1st birthday at the new venue of 93 Feet East.

I am very proud to announce that I will be playing We Love Space at Space Ibiza on Sunday August 9th on behalf of Chew The Fat!
It is a special event for the Wall Of Sound 15th Anniversary. There is a full lineup over on the We Love website or on ResidentAdvisor, but to name just a few, the lineup includes Grace Jones, David Guetta, not to mention one of my personal favourite DJs – James Zabiela.
Needless to say I am both excited and humbled by this opportunity – if you happen to be in Space that evening, stop by to say Hi!
Decided it was time to dust off my EFX-1000 and get a mix together to kick off my podcast. The product of much blood, sweat and tears – hope you enjoy it. Use the comments box below to let me know what you think!
Will also be posting some of my older mixes, and hopefully finally making a chill out mix of some of the awesome tracks I have bought but never had the opportunity to play out – hit one of the subscribe buttons below to receive them directly on your iPod when they get posted!

Seeing as I have been reviewing breakbeat tracks for This Is Breaks I thought it was about time I had a bit of a mix with some of the tunes I have picked up in the first half of this year. This is the result.

Tune in to hear our first show of 2009 and our last show for now as Stewart leaves London. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for regular mixes still, but we’ll no longer be doing the Smashy and Nicey routine 
Thanks to everyone who listened live, and everyone who joined us at the house for making our final radio show a memorable one, not to mention everyone who has supported and helped us over the last three years of Pogo Radio!
We decided to spend our last show looking back over the music we have played over the history of Pogo Radio.
It’s not goodbye from us, we will be pursuing some solo projects and also hopefully some further collaborations over the coming months, so sign up to our email list and join our facebook group if you want to hear about these.
Thanks, and bye for now.
Much Love,
Team Pogo

Between the rise of dubstep into the mainstream, the resurgeance of old garage styles that crossed over with the new fidget scene and the general appreciation for all things wobbly and filthy the soundtrack to this year certainly had a big low end, no matter what dance floor you were on.
To celebrate the end of 2008 I therefore decided to compile a mix of many of my favourite basslines. Some of it is mixed well, other bits lose out a bit due to the fact I wanted to fit in as many tracks as possible.
Warm up your bassbins, turn up that sub, put the speakers on the floor and feel over 40 of my favourite basslines and general filth of 2008 shake your house.

There hasn’t been a mix from us in a while so here’s a Christmas present for all you bouncy Pogo people.
There has been a distinct lack of good breaks throughout 2008 with the odd exception from NAPT or Beat Assassins. Let’s hope the return of Ctrl Z and Screwface with their new material, along with some other amazing releases this month, heralds a return to past glory.
