Last May I played at the Bazar Club in Marseille with Carl & had such a great time, so I was thrilled when Enzo the promoter wanted me to come back & play but this time I was Headlining! I couldn’t wait but I was also nervous, as when I played there before the club was rammed, as was every club on the Carl Cox France Tour & there’s always a real magic buzz at a Carl Cox party so I was worried this night would be completely different & would they like me as the main Dj?

All my worries were for nothing, there was over 700 people in the club ready to party & dance their socks off! And while Dj Ben & Dj Fab did an excellent warm up set, lots of people came over to me saying how much they enjoyed my set the last time I played & couldn’t wait to hear me play again! How nice is that? So I had myself all psyched up to give the crowd a night to remember!

The minute Dj Fab introduced me at 2am the crowd gave me a huge cheer! As I was to play a 3 hour set, I started with some wicked pumping electronic house & just kept the tunes coming one after another & building all the time into full on techno for my last hour! The crowd here are so much fun, so happy & really responsive! Cheering jumping shouting screaming & of course I was sweating… but loving every minute of it!

When 5 am came & my last tune came to an end, the crowd were still cheering & Enzo the promoter told me to keep playing till 6am if I wanted, most of the records I had left were pretty full on techno so I said COOL! And blasted off my extra hour of full on pumping techno & the hardcore surviving crowd went bezerk! It was so cool especially when half were girls & half were guys & all going crazier the harder I played!

The sound system in this club is REALLY excellent; my records were even driving me crazy as I’ve never heard them sound this good! Really wicked! So after 4 short hours it was 6am I put my last tune on & ran down onto the dance floor to have a dance with my best Marseille buddy Nathalie, while Enzo pretended to Dj! What a laugh!

I really do have a special place in my heart now for this Bazar Club & Marseille & ESPECIALLY the people, as they are so cool & so nice, they love good music & want to have as much fun & dance as much as they can.

I always wondered how dj’s can play for 4 – 8 hours as I usually just play 1 or 1.5 hours & do be so exhausted, but I honestly could have kept on playing another 2 hours easily as I was having so much fun & was so into it buzzing off the crowd, now I want to do long sets all the time.

I can’t explain how happy I felt at this party, it was so great and one of my favourite gigs so far!

Check out this email that Davy from Marseille sent me… “It was really "extraordinaire", "meraviglioso" ...and so many words that I can't find. You made me remember the atmosphere of some old punk-rock concert. "Please come back, come back!!!!

Davy and his friends: Laura, Krystelle, Alex” … How wicked is that email!!

So Merci Beaucoup to Enzo for booking me to come back and play & looking after me so well & a huge Merci Beaucoup to everyone who came down & made this party so special!

Can’t wait to play here again!!! YOU ROCK!! …Auf revoir! xxx
