Considering I’m a little bit German, I don’t know why it took me so long to have a go at making my own curry wurst; but here it is, in all it’s satisfying, late night, bad light glory.

F**k me that was good.

📻 17/09/22 13:00-15:00

Hopefully we’ll be back in our flat next month, after three months of building work, and I’ll have access to my records, because the Act Now show keeps coming around so quickly, and I’m a fussy bastard with only so much time to spend on Bandcamp.

But I’m ready, with a bag (usb) full of amazing bits from .lovers

More camping food content, but before we get into that, just a reminder that it’s the Act Now show on this Saturday from 1pm, and Rumba Mundial at on the 27th.

So, left to right:

recommending the lobster Koka noodles, jazzed up a bit with an egg on top

Classic Gora fry up, check my DJ Recovery Tools zine (link in bio) for more on that.

Broccoli dhal with some curry leaf fried toast because we didn’t have enough rice. Pretty much everything has wild fennel on, which we found next to the beach.

Classic baked pots made in the fire with naga beans, chaat masala, coconut vinegar pickled onions and loads of coriander.

First time cooking a lean steak, can’t remember what cut this was, but I got it from on a holiday shopping run with little Ernie - end of the day, last steak left. Bangin’

Cobs cooked on the fire, sprinkled with chaat masala and cheddar; after the photo was taken, some of the steak butter went on too

Tomato’s from with coriander and coconut vinegar pickled red onions, coriander and wild fennel fronds

Steak rested and basted in curry leaf, garlic, fennel seed, fennel frond and cardamom butter

Plates, camp sites own

While I was away, sunning myself in Camber Sands, I left the Act Now show in the very capable hands of Mr Glowing Palms. Trust me, this show is spot on, take a listen, take another one.

04/06/2022

Last nights DJ Preparation, ahead of playing at the lovely - a proper pub with quality sound in Dalston; go check it out.

I’m sure they’ll be another tasty plate before tonight, just need to save some room for wine and oysters, like you do.

29/05/2022

No DJ Recovery Tools this weekend; recovering from a lergy though, getting strong and pulling records for a busy bank holiday weekend.

I’ll be at the newly refitted on Friday, giving their & equipped rig a party shake down.

On Saturday it’s back to for more of the same; boogie, disco and proto house to make you move.

Pictured is Ernie, showing off his bowl of pork scratching chaat.

DJ Recovery Tools - Camber Sands Special Edition

Pork cheek Vindaloo and chips from the local chippy. Haddock fish finger sarnies with jazzy tartar and pickled cucumbers. And the classic recovery tool, a fry up.

The Cause you wanna get us back next year, slinging holiday park classics with a twist, straight out of a chalet.

Recording of my set coming soon…

23/05/2022

What a weekend; I definitely can’t party like I used to, but I can definitely still party.

Wicked sets from .blue at

I recorded my set which will be up at some point. And I’ve got a special British holiday camp DJ Recovery Tools post coming soon.

19/05/2022

Bonnie knew when she took this pic that her finger would become the perfect spot to lay some type.

Last call for - see you on the beach, and down the rave.

Special DJ Recovery/Preparation Tools incoming. I’ll have recipe zines with me if anyone wants to avoid postage, let me know.

18/05/2022

I’m off to the Beano on Friday so I’ve got this rather suave man covering my Act Now show. Catch Glowing Palms on this Saturday from 13:00-15:00.

13/05/2022

Channeling the Waltham Forest rave vibes, I’ll be packing a bag of bits that evoke the early days for The Cause’s Seaside Beano next week.

Breakbeats, swooshy euphoria inducing synths, and serious subs.

If you want in, hit me up for concessions.

11/05/2022

Finally checked out Rendezvous Projects CIC Sweet Harmony exhibit at Vestry House Museum on the weekend.

Brilliant to read and hear about the history of rave, radio and record shops in Waltham Forest. Especially nice to let the kids loose on what was the first mixer I ever used as a kid.

08/05/2022

and myself were talking about recipes on Friday and toasties came up, so I made one yesterday.

Cheddar, pickled chillis, apple chutney, coriander, sev.

06/05/2022

I’ve always had an affinity for the DIY art scene; my style isn’t quite the same but the approach to being hands on and sharing work is how I like to do things. Big up for the t and record, glad you like the bits I sent.

Support each others projects, but avoid the capitalist machine where you can.
