So bored of going places - nobody’s dancing- everybody filming….

My beginnings into all things great… the MadterCuts comps were and are still - the best place to begin.

👏👏👏👏 I didn’t know the story - had a vinyl box (2!) stolen back in 98 which hurt and had most of them in it. Never see these babies in a record fare.. why?? Too dope to let go I’d imagine!

It’s been a while … I’ve missed you

Put a bag together for Paula's 50th back in early Feb. Been planning a mix from that selection and needed to get it out there. This was not the set I played... but these tunes needed an airing. A perfect weekend warm-up set to get you in the mood. Bring on the Bank Holiday sunshine... Its time for a...

This… there…. Sunday…. Talkin’ loud and saying something!!! (Plus a little bit of dancin’ if my knee allows (ruptured ACL blah blah… boring info!!)

Let’s do this / quality crew in abundance and the DJ’s are generationally good

The best thing about this time of year is when calls to say we got a Dingwalls session booked in! Immediate excitement as and I get ready for another Sunday afternoon session… this Sunday will be in the West End at which is a great venue with giant wooden dance floor… I think it’s a great fit - we’re adding extra stacks too and have the mighty Elan on the sound… and we’re delighted that Joe Davis will be guesting for the first time (which I find mad as he’s an absolute DON behind the decks! ) We’ve also managed to book The Andy Hay Band whose Children of The Sun Album is just unbelievably Joyful… Check out the album link, ❤️❤️ am going to ask if they can bring some vinyl etc to sell.
https://andyhay.bandcamp.com/album/children-of-the-sun-double-album
We’ve sold out but we’ll be holding back 50 £15 tickets for the Door at 5pm - CASH ONLY - it you’ve never been to one of these sessions I urge you to make it down - it’s a wonderful thing that seems to get better with age!!
Hopefully see you on Sunday
Gilles, Janine and Patrick

THIS IS A DJ SET

It was a pleasure to do this I was imagining the crew as I played and loved every mix and track because of it ... for me DJing is an honour, never a chore and I always want more... so here it is.... the set that will never be!! The Ti2TB collective work seamlessly... we put x6 DJ's in one beautiful space for 5 hrs on our legendary London boat parties... imagine if we all had this much time!

Stay safe, bringing love and kindness to wherever you may be.

THIS IS A DJ SET ........ We at Ti2TB had our 25th anniversary this year (July 2023)... we only get a 45min set each but obviously have way more tracks to play (as you'll see from the 'Crate Diggers' below) & there was a lot to choose from. I didn't go retro - keep it fresh with a hint of nostalgia....

Before mobiles I’d get on a train and it would be noisy and full of life… now it quieter than a library and im in rush hr! Lost human connection

09/11/2023

Heading to ‘Nelson’ in Hebden Bridge tomorrow for a Little DJ set with the Ti2TB crew… Steven SoundBwoy Burrell & Bez Fakouri … in the house representing.

Looking forward to a weekend away with my crew and soo much good music

There are places in the world where dancing is enjoyed by masses & masses of people. This was the UK once. We lived to engage and come together as one people, one tribe.

From the cave fires of our ancestry, humanity has always felt the need (& benefit) to express our connection through music and dance.

It’s not the stuff we take it’s the feelings we make when we dance together that enhances out lives and units the people as one.

Bring back more music to the uk - unlock the youth and let the oldies come back out to play!

If you’re feeling down get out there and jump around to you favourite sound.

This photo…. Wow! Blows me away 👏👏👏👏🙏🏻❤️🎵🎶✊🏻
