Very pleased to be joining forces with my former NME colleague Ben Osborne for his new music venture and monthly club night. London Belongs To Me celebrates the origins of London's club culture along with showcasing electronic music in the heart of Camden - Camden Lock.
The line up is incredible with some legendary names. More events are planned to take place. I will be DJing on May 4th. More info here - https://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?935503
So I have been added on to the line up for this year's Standon Calling taking place in Hertfordshire on 27th-30th of July.
Standon is different to other festivals, it offers an eclectic mix of music and curated by forward thinking music, arts and culture lovers.
More than a festival, Standon has a mix of musicians, comedy, cookery and crafts on offer as well. It's great to be involved.
Tickets are available click here for more info -

Pre MOBO awards took place at Cadogan Hall, Sloane Square, London on Thursday 27th of October. The pre awards ceremony celebrates the best in R & B / Soul, African, Gospel and Jazz. I managed to get some time to have a chat and interview Maxwell, Lemar and Shaun Escoffery on the red carpet.
I'll be looking after Simon Lederman's show on BBC Radio London for one week from the 30th of May. It will be talk based so need your participation on topics and news stories that week. Spread the word and tune in - www.bbc.co.uk/radiolondon
I'll be looking after Martin Lodge's 'It's a Monday Thing' and will be playing lots of old/new House music with some Soul, Funk and Hip Hop thrown in for good measure.
I'll be doing three shows over the Easter break on BBC Three Counties including my Sunday evening show. The 12-2pm programme on Easter Saturday will feature a classic chart, guests. TV/movie review and sermon from my Mum.
My Mi-Soul boss Gordon Mac has given me an opportunity to host a brand new specialist show. This means I will no longer be part of the Mi-Soul daytime line up.
I have enjoyed presenting my Without Further Adoo show on Tuesday afternoons for the past two years. It's been exciting especially as Mi-Soul is now available across London on DAB.
As I regularly DJ at Barrio East, Barrio Central and other London venues the opportunity to play music I adore in my sets is exciting. Championing new music and playing timeless classics is what I do 24/7. Hope you will join me. More details to follow.
SOS - Sounds of London, an exhibition showcasing the roots of South London music is due to launch later this week at the Stephen Lawrence Centre. Faron Woodbridge will be my special guest on Mi-Soul Tuesday from 2pm to explain more.
I looked after the Greatest Hits show on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire in January. The last show aired on Saturday 30th featured The Top Ten at 10 from 1978, 60's sequence, 80s Club Classics sequence and ultimate Phil Collins track. Catch up and listen again here.
Street Performers shouldn't be banned from Trafalgar Square. What a silly idea. Click here to catch up on what I said on Sky News.
I will be filling in for Roberto Perrone on BBC Three Counties Drivetime next Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th of February from 3pm.
