Judge Jules Diary Report 29th March 2013
As you may remember from previous instalments, in addition to my extensive DJ travels and music-making I’m now also working as an entertainment lawyer for one of Europe’s most high profile firms, Sheridans. This was a long-term game plan and I’ve been working 3 days per week at the London-based office, loving every minute. Skills …

December is one of the most enjoyable months to DJ. The diverse range of gigs, along with an influx of international shows make for an action packed few weeks of multiple trips from London Heathrow. While I’m on the subject, I read this week that British Airways are commencing a new direct service from Heathrow …

With the end of 2012 appearing into view, it’s only appropriate to summarise a few of the highlights of this year and, as per usual, reflect back on some of the last month’s DJ outings.

I start this instalment by doffing my cap to Apple. How they manage to create such frenzied hype about each new product release is truly amazing. Walking past my local Apple store today, they had an iPhone 5 queuing system that you’d expect to see outside The Ministry of Sound. Personally I’m wrapped in an …

It’s the summer season, and I figured that individually listing and commenting, in a generic way, on each and every one of the countless summer gigs that I play probably wouldn’t make for the most gripping read. Especially when part of my summer itinerary consists of the same two gigs 15 weeks in a row. …

By the time September rolls around, I’m normally ready to see the back of Ibiza for a few months, especially after travelling there more times per season than your average flight attendant. But as winter turns to spring in the UK, something inside me yearns to be touching down again at Ibiza’s (recently spruced-up) airport. …

Without sounding too clichéd, all good things must come to an end. And so it goes with radio. I joined BBC Radio 1 in 1997 when a Labour government had just been elected and dial up Internet at 56KBPS seemed like unimaginable luxury. I never thought for one moment that 15 years later I’d still …

Before we go any further, when I say ‘private jet’ in this piece, please don’t start to visualise the kind of plane you see in J-Lo or Rihanna videos. Don’t get me wrong, I know I’m fortunate to be flown from one NYE gig to another. However, when I refer to ‘private jet’ just think …

Firstly, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and thank everybody who’s been in touch via my social networking mediums or email over the past few weeks. Your kind words really mean a lot. This instalment kicks off at the tail end of November, on Saturday 26th. It was a blustery night …
Judge Jules Diary Report 3rd December 2011
On occasional day-long ‘business’ trips to foreign countries I feel like I should be wearing a suit and have a copy of the financial times under my arm. On Thursday 20th October I dressed rather differently from that, and headed to Holland for the annual Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), the world’s most important dance industry …
