Back in our favorite home on wheels for the week end, parked outside of Paris. Trapped in traffic, had to turn back to get my bass guitar forgotten at home in a rush. I slept all day recovering from a stressfull week busy at home. Finding back the joys of festivals, finally meeting the Gossip, their bus parked next to ours. Hopefully I’ll see their show. It’s raining, luckily our stage is indoor. Few interviews later and a proper dinner, I am getting ready in the dressing room next to Gossip’s again. Tomorrow we hit the road to Ireland, two ferries to take crossing UK. No time to think about it, I feel it’s a gonna be a good night tonight… =’.'=

Sonar festival, Zonar for the friendz, usual perfect start to summertime, a pilgrimage. The show at Loft was very punk, maybe because I drunk a strong vodka before getting on stage, which always hit me bad with stress. It surely helped me get the crazy moves I normally find myself too shy to do. All our friends were here, we had time to get some fun, our favorite still the Beatport party on a rooftop to start with. We also went to see Loco Dice and Luciano. The best memory was for sure our beach party near the airport, far away enough to bring the right people. There’s nothing like dancing feet in the sand on a James Holden sunny DJ set!

The following week stayed very Spanish, 3 hard gigs flying right at the big holiday start. We missed the bus badly, recovering the flying equipment trouble. I got travel sick, had to take strong pills that knocked me out for the day. I was half fit at night for the show in Madrid, on a 8m high stage, thanks I don’t suffer from vertigo…
Last breath to Ibiza. Landing on the island is such a strong moment, sea breaze puts you in this high emotional state of mind. Ibiza is really special. I missed it. We didn’t know what to expect, performing at Space. Ibiza is such a DJ Kingdom, was there really room for a real electronic show where laptops rule. We were wrong. Space team made a miracle, getting all the lights we wanted, nearly impossible on an island like that. The stage was big, behind the DJ booth, I nearly didn’t recognize the room. And the magic happened. I was too focused to feel the crowd, on my mission to sing right, we couldn’t miss this one… The feedback was huge, we seemed to be the first ones to do such a show. If Grace Jones will also perform at Space, why not trying? My next visit for a DJ set in August will be a real holiday after that! We were all relieved and happy. Sadly, no time to enjoy the beauty of the island, must go home.
