There are many people who have wanted to say nice things about me in the past. There are also those who, well, haven't. Quite the opposite sometimes, actually. For example, I accepted a remix project back in 2018 for a track called "Life Is Worth Living", if I recall correctly.…
Today, it's not Derrick May who's being an arsehole. Well, he no doubt is, just as he has been every day for at least the past 35 years. But today, it's one of his friends who's going to sit in the ducking stool on his behalf. Meet Patricia Altisent. She…
Back in January, Sterling Void gave us this message. It was quite literally one of the most sagacious and polymathic notifications that I have ever been privileged to witness. It truly was a message that filled many with a sense of unfeigned joy. I just have one question, because I…

I'm currently working on several vocal productions. There's no point me complaining about the relentless torrent of remixes of decade old tunes in the charts and not offering an alternative, is there? I've got another Morris Revy track in the works - the follow-up to the follow-up of "Perfect Vacation"…
Last week, I wrote about my experience of getting the coronavirus vaccine. I had my first at the start of March and the second should follow in a few weeks. And since then, I've been thinking. I'm getting increasingly disappointed with the results. I think it's time someone said this,…
I've woken up to worse news than this on a Friday in the past. Masters At Work are relaunching MAW Records. Unreleased mixes, remastering old tracks, and a brand new Masters At Work single coming up in April? I'm having that!
