If you LOVE CARNIVAL, then you already know the carnival blues are hitting hard right now! 😭🔥🇯🇲🇹🇹🇧🇧

How has it already been a whole week since Carnival weekend?! Every year creates memories that stay with you forever, but this one was extra special celebrating 60 YEARS of @nhcarnivalldn! 🎉🌴

A MASSIVE shoutout to the @caribbeansessionsmas family — @babiflame, @cjaythedj and @rastakenny — for always making us feel so welcome. It’s honestly a privilege for myself and Twin C @jpizzleandtwinc to be part of the road and celebrate Carnival in London with you. Three years strong now, and representing @famous_jook_so alongside such an amazing family means everything! ❤️💛💚

Big love to @_mishax and @cherelle.a for joining us on the road and bringing the vibes! 🙌🏽🔥

And of course, BIG UP the Jook So family link-up @deejayjstarr and @bobbi_london! 🫡🎶

If you’ve never experienced Notting Hill Carnival before… trust me, you are MISSING OUT! Make sure next year is in the diary! 👀🔥

And make sure you’re following @caribbeansessionsmas because NEXT YEAR marks 10 YEARS ON THE ROAD! 🥳🚛🔊

ONE TEAM. ONE FAMILY.
MANY ISLANDS. ONE VISION! 🌍❤️

Big up @djmrwhyte @dj.judgement @kaspa_uk @tgmusiconline always a please on the road!

🚨 YOU ALREADY KNOW! WEDNESDAYS JUST HIT DIFFERENT. 🚨

Every Wednesday night, I’m taking over the airwaves on @digitalcityradio for The Weekly Drop Spot, and this week was absolute FIRE. 🔥

No SYNC button. Strictly pure skill, energy and that raw radio grit. 🚫🎛️

This week, @wooxstar blessed the set with a massive twist taking legendary Oldskool anthems like “What’s Going On” and flipping them into Afro House/Amapiano heaters! We also dropped a massive Oldskool underground gem (“Brighter Days” - Camera ft Dakar) that took it back to the core. 🕯️✨

I’m bringing back that Pirate Radio feeling every single week, reliving the days I started out on the big Pirate stations in Essex. If you miss that raw, unfiltered energy, this is for you.

🎧 Tune in weekly for Oldskool, UK Garage, Funky House, Afro twists, and pure vibes.

IT’S BEEN A WHILE… BUT ANDY A IS STILL LIVE! 🎧🔥

I’ve been a little quieter on socials, but I’m still out every weekend, building new ventures and putting the foundations in place for long-term success.

There are some big changes happening in my life over the next week, but DJing isn’t going anywhere! 👀

🌴 @famous_jook_so may be on hold for now, but we WILL return. Southend nightlife is changing rapidly with venues closing, and moving further into London brings new challenges, but we’ll find the right home.

🪩 GROOVE will return in December ready for 2027.

🔥 And @hotmood_uk is back on 5th September at @sunrooms2 with Cookie – the voice of @theshapeshifters - performing “Lola’s Theme” LIVE!

So where is Andy A right now?

📻 Weekly on @digitalcityradio bringing the Pirate Vibes with UKG, Grime, House and throwbacks.

💼 Building @stardjsessex - @essex_event_planners and Star Marquee Hire.

Massive respect to everyone still pushing the local scene forward too! Big up @bobbi_london making new music and moves in@the tribal house scene.

Big up @ruggednbaldy, @jpizzleandtwinc for creating @gardenfestuk - next one is on 5th September!

Big up @courtneyw.xox for keeping soca in the loop, @sirvitamin.s making big moves locally and more! @deejay_raww, @theblockpartyweekender and the team for making huge moves in Portugal and locally.

@*rkmusic*_ making big moves in the house scene! and @bwoywonder he’ll be on the big screen soon 👀 keep making moves! 🚀

And personally, the biggest change of all…

❤️ **Thursday 27th August I marry @katiehannahhx.**

Someone who has helped motivate me through some of the hardest moments of my life and inspired me to become the man I am today.

Life changes. Businesses grow. Music evolves.

But the passion never disappears.

**ANDY A WILL RETURN. PROMISE. 🎧🔥**

Don’t forget about @nhcarnivalldn this year, I’ll be returning this year with @caribbeansessionsmas a big mention to all the crew especially @cjaythedj
