Maxwell House DJ

10/06/2026

A lot of you know I have worked closely with Natty over the years, and as a duo we've held up Thanets busiest venues over the decades (yes, we're that old). For those who don't know, if you ever attempt to book me and I'm not available (or I just don't fancy it) he's the only person I ever recommend. He's (finally) updated his socials, so check him out.

Everyone knows my hatred for ABBA.....

You lot have been on at me for AGES to do a family day… so here it is 👀🎧

I’m buzzing to announce I’ll be playing at Little Ravers, a proper family daytime rave at Silvers Showbar in Ramsgate on Saturday 1st August, 1pm–4pm.

Think 90s/00s bangers, house, garage, dnb and feel‑good anthems.

Tickets are now available for Little Ravers at Silvers ShowBar, Ramsgate on Sat 1 Aug 2026 at 1:00PM. Click the link for further information and to secure your tickets now!

Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that Maxwell House has officially lost his edge.

Last night, a half pint of Dark Fruits was discovered abandoned behind the DJ booth… untouched, unloved, and frankly, betrayed.

This marks the first recorded incident of a Dark Fruits being left behind, raising serious concerns about standards, stamina, and whether the big man’s still got it.

Had a wicked time at at the Marlowe yesterday. The local and international artists were exceptional, the dance battles inside and outside were really fun. Managed to grab a quick chat with in the foyer which was an added bonus. If there's a culture charity you should know about and back, it's this one. Pushing hip-hop, youth projects and community all over the UK.

Alright… you lot have been nagging me for ages to upload a mix, so here it is.

I don’t do many mixes anymore because:

1. I have zero time
2. I refuse to DJ to nobody in my shack

So enjoy this rare sighting, turn it up and pretend I’m playing to an actual crowd.

Another video dump, from last night. .roots.events at .margate all the djs smashed it, 2 floors of awesomeness. Been a mad weekend of going out and DJing. So glad the wife nagged me into not taking a Sunday booking or allowed me to go to any more events. 😂

Been a mad weekend, just getting round to a video dump from Thursday. Best free event I've ever attended! .recs smashed the lineup. I think I've got a permanent bass face injury. 🙃

For over 10 years I've been the resident DJ at The Dolphin Broadstairs . That place, those staff and the regulars are family to me. So when a car gets rammed into the front of the pub... twice, and our doorman ends up in hospital, you'll forgive me if my first thought isn't the feelings of people sat at home on Facebook.

The video that was shared online was just the end of the incident, not the beggining.

A few folks have got the hump because some of us have cracked a joke or two.

Apparently that's an issue. Not the bloke who drove a car into a packed pub. Not the staff who had to deal with it.

Let's be clear, nobody on our team is dismissing mental health. We live it, we all know people who've struggled, and plenty of us have been there ourselves. I've suffered anxiety and panic attacks and had my fair share of CBT in the past.

That's exactly why we use humour. It's how people get through the worst times of their lives.

So.. before you fire off another post slagging us off:

Did you ask how the doorman who got hurt is doing?

Did you ask how the bar staff who saw it are feeling every time car headlights face the windows?

Did you ask how the regulars who were inches from it are coping?

Did you check in on the DJ you reckon is "out of order"?

Nah... You didn't.

Caring about mental health means caring about the people who actually went through it, not just the ones it's fashionable to defend from a keyboard. If you genuinely want to help, come down, buy the staff a drink, ask if we're alright.

If you just want to whinge online about us, have a proper think about who that's really for.

Love to the Dolphin family. We're still standing. ❤️

There’s this weird lot of older former djs on Facebook trying to gatekeep saying stuff like “I used to dj in the 90s, djing’s not what it was, these kids just press buttons.”

Here's some facts for you. The dancefloor didn’t get easier, the crowd got ruthless. Shorter attention spans, more choice, zero patience. DJs now have to be tighter, quicker, and way more versatile just to hold a room for ten minutes.

It’s not that the art got worse, you couldn't manage to keep up.
The talent pool’s deeper, the standards are higher, and the only thing that’s really faded… is your hairline.

And before anyone starts, I was there in the 90s too. Lugging crates, beat matching and riding the pitch.

The only difference is, I didn't stop, and I also have all my hair.

Help the younger lot, support them, give them the knowledge instead of bitterness. This game’s hard enough, late nights, missing parties because you’re working, juggling bookings, money, and real life. You should be backing the next generation, that’s how the scene stays alive.
