That's right! On Monday 11th January, Vinyl Jacket's new single "Painting Stations" was played on the Chris Moyles show to an audience of 7.2 million people. Excited doesn't really sum it up. Shaking profusely is probably more accurate. I can't imagine how the band felt. It was their hard work that got the song there, I am merely a background player who put a lot of time and energy into it, and explaining why you're even excited to the uninitiated is a job in itself. Regardless, it was a huge moment for myself and most importantly the mix survived the wall of BBC compressors very well! Have a deeks below :)

In other news, Cloud City Trap are coming back to continue with work on their as yet untitled album and I've also joined a new funk band, called Soul Technique which you can find out more about, at http://www.soultechnique.co.uk. Needless to say, as a bass player it's a very fun gig and playing in a band with an MC really does excite me seeing as I religiously praise a lot of hip hop, especially the way the rhythms interact with the beat. Lovely.
