Will you accept SPOOKY COOKIES!?
I'm teaching Terri from The Midweek Mosh how to DJ live on stream today from 5pm while we chat about music, radio, her recent NATIONAL AWARD WIN!!! and a whole bunch of other stuff. Plus we'll be building a spooky gingerbread house!

Join us from 5pm over on Twitch!

Yes I am hiding my face in this pic as I have no make up on yet 🤣

I spent today in REEBZ 's 'padded cell', grabbing some time together to chat about her upcoming album, reflect on her amazing musical journey to date, the latest collab with the incredible Celldweller and of course, talk about birds...
It has been genuinely the loveliest time. I can't thank REEBZ enough for inviting me into her home and for such a brilliant day.
We also discovered that Bebe Rhi met me many many years ago when I ran the local alternative clothes shop! Which has fully blown my tiny mind!

The full video will hit my YouTube in the next week or so (life permitting!) and there's a bunch of amazing extras to share, including Jonathan the Emu being a sassy bitch and legit footage of REEBZ BINZ!

Check out my linktree and hit follow on all the stuff to get a ping when it all drops!

Huge love and thanks to Rhi for today. She is such a beautiful human. 🖤

A reminder that I'm LIVE TODAY from 5pm on Twitch. This week's stream will be SUPER INTENSE BAS MUSIC! So if you need some motivation to Get S**t Done, come hang with us!

I have a spooky DJ exchange coming up with the wonderful Terri from The Midweek Mosh among the treats over the next few weeks. Where you'll find me as a guest on her radio show on Wednesday the 29th. I'll be chatting with her and I've selected some tunes to go out in line with the mosh-friendly brand of the show. Having previously been a radio DJ I'm excited to step back in the studio, especially so with Terri. She is SUCH a brilliant champion for emerging and local artists, as well as an all round good soul. This is going to be a really special thing. Which is great because..... she's then coming round to OctoHQ to spin some tunes with me on my own Halloween show on Sunday the 2nd of November! Expect A LOT of silliness and A LOT of great music! This little exchange of ours is going to give us both opportunties to meet new people and play out music that we love to new audiences, which is stuff we both adore. We are super excited about this. I just need to decide how ridiclous my costume is going to be for the Sunday stream..... 😉

But before all of that you've got a couple of weeks of my regular Sunday streams to get stuck in to. Starting back this Sunday with a stream I very much owe my followers. As some time ago I asked you what format of mine you'd like next and you overwhelmingly voted for my OG 'Coffee Shop To Club Night' format where I go from chilled to up tempo. Only thats when I got so sick and had to go offline for weeks! So... at last...The stream you voted for is coming to you!!

Cephalopod Online can be found on my Twitch channel from 5pm on Sundays and The Midweek Mosh can be found on Switch Radio from 9pm on Wednesdays, every Wednesday, but I'll be there on the 29th! Everything will be on my Linktree.

I cannot wait to be back with you. I have missed you SO MUCH!!

Sun 19th Oct 5pm - Cephalopod Online
Sun 26th Oct 5pm - Cephalopod Online
Wed 29th Oct 9pm - The Midweek Mosh
Sun 2nd Nov 5pm - Cephalopod Online w/Special Guest (Halloween stream)

I'm co-host on next week's Midweek Mosh with the brilliant Terri (who as I post this is quite possibly picking up an award for being COMPLETELY AWESOME)

I had so much fun doing this! The whole show this week is tunes I selected and as you'd expect it's a real mix!

Tune in online from anywhererrrrreeeee from 9pm Wednesday 29th October and the best bit is, Terri is then coming round to OctoHQ on Sunday 2nd November for my special Halloween stream! We're gonna have more awesome music fun, this time with all the swears left in, and there'll be spooky Halloween shenanigans and such. So it's a big week of mischief for us two and double chance for you to catch us!

Huge love and luck to Terri at the awards today. Make sure you go give Midweek Mosh a follow and keep up with all the amazing music and events happening in the Brum area. 🖤🤘

I've been shepherding a few people through DJ skills recently, and tonight it was John Hat's turn.

He's booked to play Church of Madness in November and after a very quick whistle stop button pressing tour back in the summer, he popped round tonight to go over some transition techniques and grill me with a whole bunch of awesome questions.

He is really putting so much energy I tk considering how he approaches this event and I know I'm not the only one he has been chatting with to get himself ready. It honestly been so lovely to see people be so giving with their skills, passion and knowledge.

You lot know I'm all about that, so I've been happy to help out. Especially as the booking is for good old Church of Madness where I had my own first DJ booking a few years back and where I'll be joining the resident team in the new year!

Go check out Church of Madness and if you can make the November date, head down and go cheer John on.
Then come back in January for the big kick off of my first date as part of the CofM team AND as we celebrate my birthday!
