I played a set on the Friday night. Joining me were DJs Mike Tzulan and Stromtod from Austria. This now means I’ve played DJs sets at both my favourite music festivals (WGT and Infest) and in both of my favourite countries to watch live music (Germany and Belgium).

Yesterday’s Shadow – December 2017

DJ Setlist

The last YS of 2017 was an ‘invitational’ where all DJs who’d played the event during the year were invited back for one more go. I was of course up for it as ever, though the 8 DJ line-up meant sets were necessarily short and an early start the next day also meant an midnight end for me. I’m still amazed about how much I fitted in, though!

Set 2 – 11:30pm

In an era when Whamageddon is actually a thing, cheesy Christmas hits were banned at this event. Foul-mouthed punky ones? They’re still OK. But first better get something tuneful in……

Yesterday’s Shadow – November 2017

DJ Setlist

A return to DJing after a couple of months off, and back to Yesterday’s Shadow. By now you might know what to expect from me, but even here were a few surprises. One was the quite-unexpected request for Dernière Volonté (couldn’t resist that one). The other was the loss of Malcolm Young of AC/DC earler that day – with his brother George also having left us a few weeks ago, I felt duty-bound to get some kind of tribute into the evening’s proceedings.
