Your mix was hugely popular with our audience - talk us through the tracks you chose to include.

I just love them. It's the vocals along with the riff patterns of the synth and it's hard not to like those hard rolling bass lines. These tracks always get me going so I couldn't not put them together in the mix. I still play some of them in my sets now, they always get the crowd going. Weapons.

This would probably be a good time to shout out those that have supported you.

First has to be my Casa family supporting me from day one. Big love goes to my mates and all of you who come to dance to my sets and listen to my mixes, you're all just delicious and I appreciate every single one of you. The venues I've played at and all the bookings I've had along the way. I could go on but I won't haha.

What do you have planned for 2024?

2024 is going to be a big year for me personally, as well as seeing some of my music being released, very exciting. Playing at the Live at Argyle event in May will definitely be a highlight of the year.
