C’mon down to the Arts Hub at Flook House this Sunday 😎

I know I use the word ‘honoured’ a lot but it really is the case when I get an opportunity to play at events like this, amongst DJs and for dancers who really know their s**t.

😎

We are super happy to announce that DJ Rends will be playing tunes at our October edition of Taunton Arts Market. 🎧🎉🎧

Rends is a Taunton based record collector and DJ with a penchant for vintage, funky music.

Whether he’s playing a set in a local boozer, at Taunton’s independent market or as part of a club night in Bristol, there is just one rule: the music‘s all on vinyl. Regardless of whether it’s Disco, Funk and Soul, Jazz, Latin and Afro Caribbean or 70s Rap, if it has a groove, it’s in the box and ready to go if the mood is right.

Feels good to be back subbing for the at

Join me this Sunday at the in Bristol for the after party.

There will be stalls with vinyl, art, clothing and Caribbean food and a roster of fine, all vinyl DJs playing sweet and deep soul all day, with the tempo picking up later on for some real funky disco s**t. I should know, as I’ll be going back to back with my man and fellow boogie connoisseur .phillips__

To add to the fun, there will be another vinyl raffle running to raise funds for local good causes. It doesn’t get better. Oh wait… it does… It’s a free but pay what you can event; head over to Streets of Soul to reserve a ticket. Doors open at 2pm.

1st birthday day rave at

📸s

Was such an honour to play at ‘s first birthday bash the other night at , alongside some really great local DJs, producers and musicians. Wicked night and for me it was extra special being asked to play a Latin, Afro and World set, which started heavy on Bossa Nova and ended with Boogaloo.

Glasto day 1…

S A T U R D A Y …

Reuniting DJs Rendell & Son for Taunton’s Great Big Green Week event, happening in Goodlands Gardens on Saturday 10th of June. Come on down for music, munchies and to hear about the good work of local environment groups.

It’s all thanks to my man, Tim Walker aka who runs the rather good sustainable living and refillery shop on Station Road. If you are local to Taunton and, like me, keen to have less of an impact on the planet, you should definitely check it out as he sells some brilliant stuff. Plus he’s a throughly nice chap.

Gradually building the music in my collection which was my first love … ❤️💛💚

I have a particular fondness for the digital stuff of the late 90s/early 2000s, like this by

Gigs out in the sun are begging for this sound.

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Woolavington the place to be on Saturday… they’ve got loads of cool stuff planned which will entertain the whole fam. And then me 😎 Keen.
