Welcome

I’ve decided to blatantly rip off Gareth Emery with his brilliant idea of a mobile phone diary while on tour. Since I am never more than a few feet from my mobile, I figured it’s the easiest way to document what’s going on without having to lug another camera with me. The camera on my current phone (Blackberry Curve 8310) is pretty decent at 2 mega pixel full colour and takes pretty good shots, so here are a few snaps from the past couple months!

I’m very excited to announce that BOOM will be moving house over to DI.fm trance channel starting in May.

I’ve been a fan of DI.fm ever since I started DJing and listening to dance music, so to be asked to be added into regular rotation on their station was quite an honour. The show format will be the same as it always has been: 1hr of solid music with no interruptions. All track lists will be posted here on the site and kept up to date with download links of previous episodes as well.

Show times for BOOM on DI.fm are as follows:

3rd Friday of each month for 1hr at 18:00 CET / 5pm UK / 12pm ET / 9am PT

This is just a note to clear things up about the Egypt issue and why I wasn’t able to attend the show in Cairo yesterday.

I can assure everyone I was on time and in the airport without any issues. The problems arose when Lufthansa changed the booking time without alerting the members of the flight (I’m assuming because of the American Airlines issues). Myself and 50+ other people on the flight missed the departure completely.

I tried for well over 2hrs after realizing this to rebook with Lufthansa and other airlines but it just wasn’t meant to be as nothing could get me to Cairo on time for the gig.

I am gutted that I had to cancel the gig due to something completely out of my control, not only because I missed the gig, but because this is the first time I have EVER had to cancel an event. I would like to apologize to everyone who was looking forward to me coming to Egypt. I really appreciate all your e-mails and concern.

The good news is, I have spoken with the promoters and we are working together to re-schedule to another date soon, so I can assure you that I WILL make a return to Egypt within the coming months.

I regret to inform you guys that my upcoming gigs in India have been canceled due to complications beyond my control.

Unfortunately the promoter was giving me the run-around for far too long and I was unable to come to an agreement in time to get a proper Visa arranged; thus making the decision for me to cancel the 3 gig tour.

I hate to cancel any gig but sometimes there is no way around things and I wasn’t going to risk heading into a foreign country without proper papers or arrangements. Hopefully I can come to India someday as I have heard great things, but it won’t be at this particular time.
