On Dec 5th I make my second visit to club 1015 Folsom in 2009. I’m very much looking forward to playing here again along with Matt Darey and DJ Taj. Last show was a blast, so I’m looking forward to seeing some familiar faces & meet some new ones!
I am planning on recording the set, so hopefully I will have a download and tracklist available for everyone.
On a related side note, I’m in the studio working on a remix for Matt Darey’s new project “Urban Astronauts”, in addition to remixing a classic trance tune “Point Zero” that was released under Matt’s old alias Li Kwan.
