I have just returned from an “in and out” tour of Indonesia, playing at the 1st Anniversary celebrations for Mansion in Bandung.
After a rather late night in Pacha – Ibiza, I set out on my gruelling journey.
In the taxi I was fully aware on what lay ahead, but until you actually complete the journey, you always forget just how hard it is.
2 and half hours flight from Ibiza to London, 4 hour wait in Gatwick, 6 and half hour flight to Dubai, 3 hour wait there, another 6 and half hour flight to Jakarta, 3 hour drive to Bandung… I really have to bite my tongue when people say that DJs have it easy !
One thing that is for certain, is that if you asked me to jump on a plane and do it all again tomorrow, I would, because it’s experiences like this that make it all worth while and I hope this little video, like all of the ones I do, give you a chance to see things you wouldn’t necessarily be able to, or motivate you to go somewhere exotic for yourself.
As I type this I am lay in bed in a hotel in Estonia, preparing for another weekend of fun…
watch this space for more on that !!
