Iāve written a book: āTrash: A Club, A Sound, A Home.ā
This book explores how and why Trash happened, the steps leading up to it and a series of twists and turns which allowed it to go from a modest Monday night indie club into what was then regarded by some as one of the best clubs on the planet, if not the best. When Trash closed, I vowed never to do the party again, and have stayed true to that ever since.
These stories arenāt told in my voice alone. Oral history sections contain interviews with 39 figures who were important to Trash and its development: resident DJs, artists whose performances were pivotal in the course of the club, through to the staff and venue managers whose input cannot be overstated. Over 70 hours of conversation are combined with my own thoughts, experiences and memories of what contributed to the making of Trash, alongside dozens of previously unseen photographs. The resulting 100,000 words mark the most challenging creative journey I have ever been on. But it has also been the most satisfying.
Iāve spent the last two years devoted to writing. No remixes, no production, no other creative endeavour to get in its way aside from DJing on the weekends. I didnāt tell many people what I was doing simply because I had no idea if I had the capacity to finish it. I would wake up each weekday at 5am and write until real life began at 8.
I hope this book also shows that you donāt need much to start something. I was 22 when I started Trash, and whilst I had dreams of playing guitar in a band, the truth is I had no idea what I was going to do in life. I certainly didnāt feel a DJ career was possible as it seemed alien to a kid from Archway who had barely left his own postcode. Plus, DJs from our corner of culture werenāt seen as valid, and indie clubs didnāt hold the same value as dance clubs. But I think Trash helped change that.
āTrash: A Club, A Sound, A Homeā will be published by Faber on 14th January 2027, marking the birth of the club 30 years ago, and 20 since it closed forever. A book launch will be held in London at Rough Trade East on Mon 11th January hosted by @katehutchinsonpow

So, I never thought weād be marking the 20th anniversary of a T-shirt, but here we are.
And it would be a shame not to, as the shirt took on a life of its own after we pressed 50 to give away to friends and sold a handful on my website to cover costs. That first run sold out in an afternoon, so we made more ā which sold out the next day, and so on and on. A year later, I still didnāt fully grasp the power of the tee until a friend told me he was walking down the street wearing one and spotted someone else coming the other way in the same shirt. They stopped and talked. Band tees always did that for me when I was younger, but I suppose itās unusual for a DJ.
To celebrate this anniversary, @phantasysound have re-pressed the tee in a variety of sizes and styles. The classic cut now comes on a slightly less figure-hugging garment than the original, and is also available in kidsā sizes. Weāve also made an inverted limited edition, with black text on a white tee. The sweatshirt edition is back after selling out last year, and you can even pick it up as a baby grow, perfect for your tiny dancer.
Last yearās special āEā edition is back, after selling out across most sizes, and weāve added a heavyweight tote bag thatās roomy enough to carry plenty of vinyl.
All shirts are ethically made from organic cotton and come in fully biodegradable bags, ready to ship worldwide in recyclable packaging.

Penultimate track last night at To The Rhythm @the_berkeley_suite which proves itself again as one of the best small venues on Earth. The DB level was only stressed in this final lap, my mid 00s habits arrived in parallel.
I always walk away thinking tonight was the best of them yet but last night really was. Highlight of a bright and beautiful year, reminded what I love about DJing and why im still hooked.
Extra shout out to the staff and team at the venue, Danny on lights, Big John, everyone there makes this ship sail so beautifully. I love coming to Glasgow.
Next To The Rhythm shows are just didnāt the road in Edinburgh at @sneakypetesclub at the end of the month. Playing both Saturday and Sunday.

We donāt usually do events this close together but when the opportunity arose to book Erol we couldnāt pass it by.
We were regulars at Trash and Durrr, his legendary parties at The End in London. So canāt quite believe weāre hosting him for our very own Field Notes.
Heāll play an extended 5 hour set - in the natural environment he thrives in best. Expect him to go from Acid to Experimental to Indie Dance (maybe) to Post Punk. Everywhere really.
You can probably tell but WE REALLY CANāT WAIT.

Got to play for @arsenal for one night.
Respect to @ex_terra for his exceptional design work on the Capital collection which was launched last night at the @thelncc where I played some records and unfortunately, not any football.
Iām a huge fan of David Rudnickās work, from his poster art for @trashclublondon and sleeves for @phantasysound over a decade ago. Seeing his āRocastleā typeface launch across the internet and adorn these garments is truly beautiful.

Iām back on @doyou.world today at 2pm and really excited to be joined by @erolalkan I was super happy Erol was up for this as heās one of the people who got me into making music and I had a great time chatting with him about production, remixing, Trash and how he got started making noise. Absolutely loved recording this and came away feeling inspired and excited to make more music. Hope you enjoy āØ
