Hello you lot! Just a quick update to let you know what I’m up to, or gonna be getting up to… First off I’m happy to announce that I’m gonna be spinning (for the very first time) in Singapore at the awesome STEREOLOUNGE on the 28th of August (2010) – and again at the end of September (Saturday 25th) during Singapore’s very own Formula 1 event!!! Sooooo… if you’re in the area please come down and say “WAZZZUP!”

Secondly; I’ve got a podcast with tons of  audio goodies already loaded up for your iPod / Blackberry / computer / whatever.  Usually I’d simply provide you with a link that automatically takes you to iTunes where you can subscribe and download… Apple (being finicky buggers) are making it quite difficult to get me properly listed in the podcast secion of iTunes. Good news is that there’s a work-a-round, and all you gotta do is this…

• Open iTunes
• Click on ‘Advanced’ in the top menu bar
• Select ‘Subscribe to Podcast’
• Copy ‘n paste this into the box: http://www.octo.co.uk/Podcasts/podcast_newfeed.xml
• BINGO! You’re subscribed and can download live mixes, charts, interviews and a whole heap more dating back a few years!!

I’ll be at BedSupper Club this Saturday, so if you’re in BKK drop me a comment below and I’ll happily add you to my guest list!!

Coming up: Live @ Pontoon, Cambodia: Sat. 12th June 2010

Four years in the waiting and I’ve gotta DJ while England whallop the USA in their first game enroute to win the World Cup!! …I’ll be spinning @ Pontoon (Phnom Penh) alongside Cambodia’s favourite; DJ Illest, with MC Hydrophonics (USA) manning the microphone (aka MCing). Last time I played here was the re-openning; and if that’s anything to go by – this floating nightclub’s gonna be a-rockin’ again!! See ya there!!

PART 1: Akil the MC, Hydrophonics & DJ Octo

Akil graced the funkiest club in Phnom Penh (Pontoon) with 23 mins of classic Jurassic 5 tunes and a good helping of his own solo work, old and new. MC Hydrophonics did a fine job backing up his L.A. homie – and I’m dropping the beats… in Part 2 you’ll hear my DJ set that followed Akil’s show!

Don’t forget to comment!!

Well it’s been a while since I spoke to you (people of the world wide web) so I thought I’d try and squeeze some of the musical oddities I’ve been working on into your beautiful ears!!! They’re mostly just ideas at this stage and are currently being worked into fully-fledged master pieces (ahem )

Anyway, have a listen and let me know what you think!
