Breakthrough opportunity!

I have just been contacted by a record label in Portugal, offering to make an EP for my track 'Drop' (Techno House). I am absolutely over the moon with getting signed to my first label!

I am currently awaiting the release date, actual EP with remix tracks, and artwork to be sent to me. I can't wait, so happy I have got myself on the ladder to producing house music that is signed to a house label.

Awaken Ibiza!

Today I have confirmed with a student holiday experience 'Awaken Ibiza' that my house night 'GetDown' is now official brand partners with the company, which means that myself and Orlagh (GetDown residents) get to play a DJ set out in summer Ibiza on a party boat. I am absolutely overwhelmed by the oppourtunity! Our aim is to sell as many tickets as we can to help sponsor the experience, and eget as many people on board with the trip as we can! The whole package is £149 which covers boat partys, accomodation, entry in superclubs, pool & beach parties! Here is  our sponsored link for tickets for week 3:

We cannot wait to get out there and playing house music with the Ibiza sunset behind us!

Essay - Transmedia Storytelling

I have just finshed the 3000 word essay on our trandmedia storytelling question. With lookig back at the research wityh used for the presentation I was easily guided however answering the question in 3000 words proved to be very challenging, but good practice!


Question 1 (Our question):

"The internet, social media and other open systems have allowed for user generated content, crowd sourcing and other forms of audience participation to prevail in digital media but how do we translate these features into storytelling experiences, without treading on the toes of the author?"

Myself and Orlagh and our underground house event......

Recently I have taken up the responsibility of running my own underground house music event, based here in Liverpool. It was back in May 2012 when i decided that I wanted to start up my own night, as I am really passionate about the house music scene and wanted to get myself involved with anything that i could. Then i figured, its not that easy getting yourself noticed and making an impact, plus I didnt want to be relying on other peoples events and plans to get myself out there and get on the scene, so I decided to start up an event myself.

As soon as I decided that i was to go ahead with this I asked Orlagh immediately, if she wanted to get invovled and co-found the night. Once i realised she was keen we planned our name, venue, first event, DJ's and prmotional techniques that were going to be associated with our night.

Today, we have just realeased the news for our April event, which will be our 8th event to date, which we are extremely excited about. Our recent poarties have been such a sucess and our most recent one locked out with 240 people crammed into the basement of our venue, The Shipping Forecast.
