Hi everyone,

Got some exciting personal news for you…

On 5th November at 08.53 my wife gave birth to our third child. A beautiful boy called James Ethan Thomson weighing just under 8lbs – both mother and bay are doing great – not sure about the dad though 🙂

I think he’s going to take after his dad..as he was already spotted wearing headphones.  I managed to get a quick photo as proof 🙂 These ‘headphones’ we actually used in a proper medical hearing test but it looks pretty cool anyway.

Having some time out for #familytime but will be back very soon.

In the meantime, remember you can listen to past episodes of ‘In the Zone’ on Mixcloud , Youtube , and on Podcast

OK it’s taken me a while to delve into the world of podcasts, but thanks to good friend of mine David McAuley I have it all set up now. 

Not only can you stream the podcasts from this link, but you can also subscribe to them so you will always be the first to know when there is a NEW podcast online. Check out the link and follow me on PodOmatic, or if you prefer…you can even download and play it in iTunes. This first episode features my set from Future Sound of Worship in Detroit USA.  Hope you have as much enjoyment listening to it as i did in making it.

Wow, what an amazing time I had in Detroit.  I arrived a day before the gig to give myself time to get used to the difference in time-zone and temperature although for the first day or so the weather was the same as Scotland ( cold, wet and windy)

The event was called Future Sound of Worship 5 and is an annual event hosted by GodsDJ’s. A truly international line-up featuring DJ’s from Finland, USA, Canada, and of course…Scotland.

Over 300 people packed the venue which had one of the best lighting shows I have seen in a long time, provided by Detroit Rave Scene and a pumping sound system.  The crowd were amazing and the dance floor was still jumping right until the very last track was played.  I plan to upload my mix to mixcloud in the next few days

The following days were time to party at Movement festival with  5 stages of artists/DJ’s over 3 days…there was something for everyone, from house, techno, drum and bass, and even some trance.

The only down-side of the whole experience is that my luggage decided not to return home with me, so my decks are travelling the globe on their own. Fingers-crossed they return before my next gig here in Dunfermline ( tomorrow evening )

Hey everyone,

Just a very quick test post to see how the ‘wordpress’ system works.  I will be updating this blog very shortly with a review on my trip to Detroit, along with videos and images.

Look forward to connecting with you all.
