2008: Final Words

The year has been full of achievements, history, hot music and swagger (word of the year no doubt).

I felt like it was only right to say a some final words to wrap up the year nicely, speaking of my own achievements (hey - it's my blog right?)

So heres a breif overview of my year...

On Febuary 8th i deejayed for DJ Ironik. I was extreamly overwhelmed when i first got the call about doing the night, being put alongside a guy like Ironik was a pretty big deal for me - the night was a smash. Further on in the year i've deejayed for Chipmunk, N-Dubz and Ultra.


On the 8th of March this year i began the DJ WM Weekly Podcast's, the initial reaction was crazy so this year i reached a nice round number of 40 episodes - of course carrying on into next year too! Don't forget the Podcast's are now on iTunes so please get involved and subscribe! Just type my name in the search area (DJ WM)


Rewind to August when i went up to KISS 100 in London to hang with DJ Swerve whilst he was doing his show, it was a brilliant experience, Swerve was the reason i began deejaying so to see him do his show live was pretty special!

In November of this year i won a very big title of 'Young DJ of The Year,' it's all still a blur and it's only just about sunk in that i actually won such a title, it means alot seriously, my life depends on music and I'm working so hard to get up to the top. Big shout out to Ben and Rob who run the award night - they really put in the work, also out to the cast of Hollyoaks who were down that night, very nice bunch of guys who had alot of nice words about my set.


November also held the KISS Academy, props to everyone at Arena 6 - Melissa, Wendy and everyone else, they put alot of effort into making the day a good'un! I got to show my skills off to Manny Norte, Swerve, Fader (Loose Cannons), N-Dubz and a whole bunch of people from the station - amazing day.


Theres just a few big things that i've been involved in this year. Trust me when i say that 09 is looking bigger already - watch this space!

Final thanks to all of you guys who have been supporting me, the blog and the Podcasts!

See you in 2000ANDMINE

Young DJ of The Year 2008 [Pictures]

Just got sent a few very unattractive pictures (of me) through to my inbox from the award night last week... might as well post em!


MTV were in the building casting for the UK series of 'Super Sweet 16' funnily enough i bumped into the woman on the right again just last night as i was down at a Super Sweet 16 which they were filming, it was the most fake thing i have ever seen & extreamly scripted!


Award winning break dancers were in the place! They killed it!


Me getting introduced... my nerves all over the shot!


Eyes closed - always a good look!


Getting into it!

Big ups once again to 'The Eleven' for holding such a great night!

What A Weekend!

Sorry for the lack of post over the past 5 days... it's been abit crazy for me!
Heres the lowdown...

Friday night was all about 'Fresh' at Winkers, i was deejaying with Ultra MC, he had that smash Channel U and MTV Base track 'Perfect Girl' which he performed live along with hosting too.



Saturday i had other business aside from music to attend to!

Sunday i was up at 8.30am to head up to Donnington Park in Nottingham for the annual BPM event. BPM showcases all the latest in DJ technology and also has all of the biggest names down there such as Pioneer, Denon and DMC. I headed straight for the DMC stand where i watched Skully do his thing! Shouts to DJ Cable, Switch, Loop Skywalker, Rafik (who i haven't caught up with since winning the CK ONE event last November) and the legend Cutmaster Swift. It was big! Oh and you know that mixer that Semtex rocks on Dizzie's tour? The SVM 1000, i tried it out and its illllll!!







Monday night was the Young DJ of The Year competition, i was up against 2 other big under 18 DJ's. In the house was MTV, Models 1 and the cast of Hollyoaks. I was up 2nd and i killed it! I was soso nervous, i was up infront of thousands of screaming people... the last thing i wanted to do was clear the floor! So i won and got the prize of a Wii given to me by 'Kiran' from Hollyoaks... i don't actually watch it so i didn't have a clue who he was but still. The rest of the prize included contacts with London's biggest promoters... keep it locked on here for more info! So its official, i am the Young DJ of The Year 2008!



Now back to my college work...
