Heading into NYC for a live shot, and this is the sign on one of the overpasses

One thing that's striking about Ozzy Osborne's death is how difficult it is to imagine the music industry producing another figure like him. The barriers to working class people are so great, and there's a related attitude to culture that is neutered as a result.

Over the moon to have had TWO tracks from my Balaphonic “Resolution Revolutions” played by Gilles Peterson yesterday! It’s here should you like a listen! li.sten.to/resolutionre...

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

Looking at some DJ’s tour schedules actually brings on anxiety these days 🤣 Sometimes miss the travel, never the relentless airports!

Muslim Heritage Centre, Whalley Range, Manchester. January 4, 2025.

Despite all of the challenges - legal and meteorological - we did it! After 40 years of damaging deregulation, Greater Manchester has this morning successfully retaken control of the whole its bus network. 🙌🏻

This kit generally stays in the cases & is the (jazz) workhorse. Have set it up in the studio whilst playing another during tour dates-I’m in love all over again ❤️

All Green Party policy ...

Play 6 hours last night, start to get into my thing -mixing house, breaks, techno, broken, bass-joining dots. Guy appears at the booth: “Don’t worry mate I’m not asking for owt, just wanted to say I don’t know any of the tunes you’re playing but they’re all fucking brilliant!” Mission accomplished❤️

So far this week my breakfasts have included mince pies, chocolate sponge and apple pie and custard… regularly start the day with dessert actually!

Want to get a grip on inflation? Get a grip on the energy companies.

Tomorrow night we celebrate OneTree Island in my local. I played my first one around ‘93 with Guy Gondwana & Mr. Scruff. Tomorrow we bring some of the current upcoming eclectic wonder diggers, Nossa! ❤️

Sunday deeeeeep!

Fun in the wind hiking with friends on the moors above Manchester.

More on their way… 🤩 #ArtAdventCalendar #LisaDeaSlipmats customslipmats.co.uk/store/lisadea/

If you voted for a billionaire you’re not on the side of the working class you dumb fuck.

I don't know whether to feel lucky or disturbed that WhatsApp group messaging is the major source of anxiety in my life right now?

Moodymanc - Joy (Dubble D s Nostalgia Piano Dub) #balearic

We see it so often that I think we can state this as a general rule: Those who most loudly proclaim their patriotism will, given the time and opportunity, harm their own nations as surely as any foreign adversary.

Very excited about this… tickets via Skiddle! ❤️

Anxiety.

Today is Equal Pay Day, when women effectively stop being paid compared to their male colleagues. We would require all large and medium-size companies to carry out equal pay audits and redress any inequality uncovered. Equal pay for equal work should not be too much to ask.

I haven’t stopped praying for better leadership! Full release www.wellcutrecords.bandcamp.com ❤️

Today at The Pen and Pencil: Clint Boon 4-7 MoodyMe 7-1 (Strictly speaking a ruffy’ead takeover but sue me! 🤣)

Well, it’s Full Moon 🌕 today and thought best get my handle… Hello! 👋🏽

Chatting about a life in music with students at Salford University yesterday, whilst looking out towards the Manchester & remembering happy high rise days…
