Recent adventures out and about. Celebrating the big man's 16th, jaunts around Loch Ard with my beloved and lift selfies galore. Life continues to provide greatness in abundance amongst the hard graft. #mykidsareawesome #mywifeisawesome #bigmantings #lolife #verynauti by @twelveoriginal

Blessed to link up with the homie @exp.ben t'other day (also big up Ange!) Always an inspiring time in this kind man's presence.

Thanks for hooking me up with a copy of the West Yorkshire Hip-Hop Vol.1 Compilation, which is a great introduction to the Dub Why scene if you're not familiar already (plenty of Ex P's interviews with members of that scene on his YouTube channel). Vol. 2 is on the way!

Bonus pictures of random recent times, including (speaking of great humans) @umbrellavinyl 's 3rd birthday shindig, that I briefly spun records at along with some great local DJs.

Big week part 2! Nancy and I got married last Saturday at the wondeful Merchants House in Glasgow. A small ceremony with a lot of joy and love in the room, and a fitting start to our next chapter.

I met this wonderful and beautiful human 32 years ago on my 18th birthday, and the past two years have seen a growth in our already deep friendship and love for each other. Looking forward to growing old(er) with you mon coeur.

Life lately. Plenty of good thangs. Melanin activation, strolling through nature with my beloved and youth based hijinks. Give thanks. #movements #peace #myladyisawesome #mykidsareawesome by @twelveoriginal

Superb wee jaunt down to Brum the other week, to send off an important figure from my upbringing, and to see my bro and his wonderful family. Always good to do my pilgrimage to @the_diskery and grab some heat.

Bonus content from a lovely weekend where I played a Record Store Day set at @umbrellavinyl. Pivotal for me, as the last one I did there two years ago, I was a few stone heavier and deeply unhappy in life. Now? Ascendancy on many levels and the happiest I've ever been. Much love to those who came through to see me. Always appreciated.

Not posted for a while, so here's proof of my improving life! Still waiting for Spring to get going properly, but other advancements have happened and the heart gets warmer and happier. Salute to my cherished ones. Stay shining. #happy #winterwalks #mykidsareawesome #myladyisawesome #dawgs by @twelveoriginal

I've not worked on music much the past six months or so (life innit?!), but today I fired up the MPC for the first time since moving house.

Going to make my way through some of the digs from the past couple of months (some of the non questionable LPs are pictured, because that's why you're here right?!), and see what I can cook up.

Oh, and Merry Christmas!

Peace! Not posted for a wee while, as life has been a tad hectic, moving house, filing for divorce, getting diagnosed with ADHD, looking handsome, etc.

Still out here being grateful for the good things in life and moving forward. Big up anyone who came to see me DJ, booked me for a gig, or helped me glide through some of the shittier times of late unscathed. Y'all are appreciated beyond measure.
