Nice wee chilled weekend in Glyn Ceiriog (Wales), much needed before the storm that is Free Rotation Festival this weekend coming 😬😬😬 ... Everything was going so well, until I dropped my phone in the river and then (as you can tell) the auld camera started taking waterlogged / foggy photos 😳😳😳 but I won a supersize Knuckles on one of them £4 a game, scamming funfair stalls, so that brightened the mood - think the guy was equally as shocked when he realised I'd won!!

Top time on Friday with the lassies!! Big love out to @goodcustard_ for inviting us down to take over @ramonamcr for three hours!! Had a belter with the @mixingmatesmcr crew... Also love to all the punters (regular MM faces and some new) for coming to have a dance with us!! ❤️ ... Next up: 19/07 - Groove Therapy @ 6Trees 20/07 - Lightspeed @ Eagle Inn 24/08 - Mixing Mates x Pillowtalk @ Eastern Bloc 24/08 - TBA 🫣 25/08 - Pride Street Party @ TBA

A good weekend!! ... Scotland game pending - the result could actually put a huge damper on the weekend if we don't pull our fingers out and win this game!! MON LADS!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The @mixingmatesmcr crew will be down at @ramonamcr this Friday from 8pm!! So if you're out watching the football at 5pm, why not pop in afterwards to have a wee beer and shuffle!! Free Entry all night!! ... Big love out to @goodcustard_ for the invite ❤️

The Groove Garage returns next Friday with the @mixingmatesmcr crew in for an MOT service ⚙️ Last month’s day party was one for the books and we can’t wait to be back amongst it at @ramonamcr ✨ 💫 FREE tickets available via @fatsoma and @resident_advisor 🎟️

Started on Friday with some dental work on my wisdom tooth... Went into Saturday drinking pints with a straw... By Sunday the stitches in my mouth tore 😂😩 but it was 100% worth it (fixed by a wee dentist visit on Monday - he wasn't very happy though) 😂 ... Can also have these two AVA Festival photos that @fiattraveller1990 sent me today! I miss Belfast and the troops 🥹 and having to finger point my walking route for everyone (otherwise I'd go missing for a while)

How has it already been a week since all this 😭 missing ye lads!! ❤️ ... Take us back!! The final AVA post until next year!! Boomtown also incoming gang?

Tuesday's @mixingmatesmcr show on @komrad.net_ is now up on Soundcloud to relisten ... All the ambient, downtempo and chill-out tunes - cause the last 2 weeks have been absolutely chaotic that I needed a reset!! No better way to do that, than having a dig through my records and listening to some of the most lush sounds from @jakojako_live @r_e_a_music @frederic________ @groovearmada and more ... Back next month with the lass @roisindj ❤️

"Let's try be on a good level for AVA this year" ... 2 hours into landing in Belfast - that idea went RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW 🫣 ... Part 2 with even worse photos and videos will come in due time!! ... Note: thought someone had spiked my drink when I was seeing a dj wearing a full on horse head - but turns out, that was actually a thing!!

Big love to everyone that came to @soup_manchester for @_hyperviolet_ on Saturday... What a buzz!! All the love to @samthebstrd and @lukedanielz for the invite... And @damien.bones who smashed his set ❤️ ... Also out to the lass @miss_rosieannie whose videos I've pinched cause mine are non-existent 🤗 ... Have a photo of Cake prepping for the set, and then one of how the two of us spent Sunday (absolutely shattered and lounging) ❤️

Playing some tunes for @_hyperviolet_ in @soup_manchester on Saturday... And I'm in good company too, as there's also sets from @lukedanielz @samthebstrd @damien.bones 🔥🔥🔥 ... Don't be like Cake and snooze on it... Instead, come get involved!! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 ... Ticket link in stories!!
