Massive thanks to everyone who ‘felt like putting their hands up in the air’ (and in the T for tune shape too) in the Club tent last Sunday at the Big Chill Festival – Eastnor Castle.

I landed on Saturday to catch the likes of Emiliana Torrini, Alice Russell on the Castle Stage, over to Krafty Kuts causing mash up mayhem and finally Orbital raving it up on the main stage.

On the Sunday I played a two hour set of end of night anthems and classic One More Tunes with an old friend, the legendary old school promoter/DJ/MC Ribbz (aka Sean Hill) working the crowd on the Mic.* see note 1

Yet again I had the challenge of following a stand up comedy session featuring Russell Howard, Dylan Moran and Noel Fielding! When I got to the tent it was packed, mostly with people sitting down on rugs and mini deck chairs having picnics..lol!

But didn’t take long for myself and Sean to get the place jumping.
Here are the biggest One More Tunes from the set.

The Prodigy ‘Out Of Space’ (Drum & Bass version)
Calvin Harris ‘Ready For The Weekend’ (High Contrast Version)
Dizzy Rascal ‘Bonkers’ (Doorly dubstep version)
Blur ‘Song 2’ (Tom Middleton Whoomp mash up)
Orbital ‘Halcyon’ (Tom Middleton remodel)
Groove Armada ‘Superstylin’ (Krafty Kuts Breakbeat-Dubstep mash up)
Talking Heads ‘Once In A Lifetime’
The Police ‘Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic’
The Stone Roses ‘Fools Gold’
Franz Ferdinand/The Scissor Sisters ‘Take Me Out’ (Daft Punk/Tom Middleton mash up)

’m back on the road this weekend headlining at the Beautiful Days Festitval in Ottery St Mary, Devon. Further One More Tunes and Old School anthems galore…full report next week.

Note 1*A bunch of us hardcore Cornish ravers including myself and Richard D James, used to take a bus to Plymouth to hear Sean spin alongside US DJ’s like Joey Beltram and Moby playing the craziest R&S hoover techno and acid, and most notably, Sean also hosted one of The Aphex Twin’s earliest live performances, he and I both worked at Mighty Force Records which was our local source for the freshest imported dance music. Without Richard D James teaching me studio production, Sean making me dance all night and Mighty Force releasing my first records I probably wouldn’t be writing this!

Big thanks! Tom

Hey Pepsimaxcasters… It’s been a blinding few weeks indeed. We have had some truly brilliant gigs – Leeds on Monday was mental… we had the Sheffield Wednesday firm in and it went off!!

And the The London Forum last Thurs was totally insane!! It was packed, the crowd knew every single word to every song and  everyone was jumping about and going crazy- at one point I thought the balcony was going to come down! We then went on and partied till the small hours in Camden… I didn’t feel to clever in the morning though!

I also wanna say a big thank you to the Pepsi Max comp winners for coming down and saying  hello – top geezers! Anyway just thought you’d like a sneak peek at one of our soundchecks. This is me doing “The Drugs Don’t Work” by The Verve – one of my favourite bands. Liam, Andy and I like to take it in turns to choose a song to cover to keep sounchecks fun! Enjoy… TC.
