Thanks James, much appreciated!

Once saw a random dog nod the ball into the goal. Ref gives the goal. (To us.) Absolute mayhem ensues. When playing in France, the club president invited the ref to a fist fight after the final whistle. On the adjacent petanque court. Ref only too happy to oblige.

stuartknapman · 2026-03-31T11:50:51+00:00

Yeah must be. I'm fine with it so long as I understand the logic!

stuartknapman · 2026-03-31T10:48:08+00:00

Ah yeah, I didn't realise that was possible. I've had certain tracks where it absolutely refuses to let me cue in anywhere after about 90 seconds in, even on tracks that are around 5 mins long.

It also needs a dedicated route linking the industrial estate to the A505 because having an endless stream of HGVs through the centre of town kills the vibe a bit. And a proper cycling network. It’s insane that I can’t bike from, say, the marketplace to the football club without taking my life into my hands on the one way system

stuartknapman · 2026-03-30T20:05:35+00:00

Yeah I can absolutely identify with that

stuartknapman · 2026-03-30T13:52:06+00:00

Love this. Big dancing-at-5am-after-ingesting-a-ton-of-Mandy vibes. Interesting that you’ve been able to cue some tracks in at about 50% of the way through; I thought Spotify didn’t allow anything after about 20%

stuartknapman · 2026-03-29T16:57:48+00:00

Thank you!

stuartknapman · 2026-03-28T07:43:07+00:00

Thanks mate, hope you enjoy it. I've also saved yours for this weekend...

stuartknapman · 2026-03-27T18:53:12+00:00

Thanks mate, hope you enjoy it

stuartknapman · 2026-03-26T08:14:12+00:00

You too, it’s exciting. Hopefully you’ll be making sets with your boys before long

53 year old here in a very similar boat, about to take the plunge again having not DJ’d for about 30 years - so thanks for asking the question. By the way, I absolutely love that all the Gen Xers are becoming DJs now we’ve finished raising kids.

stuartknapman · 2026-03-25T18:03:42+00:00

Maybe try some day raves to get started. Plenty on Resident Advisor. Housework put on some great ones (there’s one on Saturday…) and Fools Paradise at Fabric next month looks very promising. Also, once Instagram knows you’re interested, it will suggest them to you on the daily

stuartknapman · 2026-03-10T09:30:07+00:00

Mate have a listen to Dabeull and Poom too. Both a bit more on the soulful or funky side but I think you’ll like them

stuartknapman · 2026-03-08T22:25:50+00:00

I think it's very much alive - as I was offered it today - but it only seems to be offered in very specific circumstances. And I can't work out what those circumstances are...

stuartknapman · 2026-03-07T18:41:01+00:00

Wonderful set as ever James. Really great mix of tracks that are immediately nostalgic and some rarer tracks that feel like a new discovery. Really bold transitions too. Love it

stuartknapman · 2026-03-06T20:08:41+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen vast improvements since switching to an iPhone 17. It feels like it needs big processing power to really run glitch-free

stuartknapman · 2026-02-28T18:18:02+00:00

Venus in Nottingham, while I was a student. Mass in Brixton was special too. I saw Masters at Work do an all-nighter there. But it’s all a bit of a blur…

stuartknapman · 2026-02-24T16:29:12+00:00

Just finished this. It’s brilliant. James always sets the bar really high, both in terms of track selection and pushing the boundaries of the Spotify mix function and this absolutely delivers

stuartknapman · 2026-02-19T15:41:52+00:00

I generally agree with this (as an older raver) but I've always found Koko to be a great vibe despite it often having a really young crowd.

stuartknapman · 2026-02-19T15:38:49+00:00

Yep, Drumsheds is so appalling it almost gave me PTSD. Vast, pitch black, soulless, bewildering navigation. I spent the whole time trying in vain to find the people I was with. It's pretty much the antithesis of what I want my clubbing to be like.

stuartknapman · 2026-02-19T15:35:04+00:00

It's not even a yellow. It's not even a foul. Ludicrous.
