Well its been a month since I moved to Belarus now and its been fantastic ! Ive met so many people over here, and even though I can hardly speak a word of russian, im getting on fine.
I had to start again here, having to learn the basics like how to get credit on my mobile phone, to working out what food was what in a shop. Learning the different currency hasnt been too bad really, and they have solved the problem of having too many coins in your pocket and making holes in them !!! Belarus Roubles dont have coins. Problem solved !
Ive performed at 4 events so far, not to my best yet by a long way, but my second set last saturday at Reaktor Club was getting a bit more like how I know I can play. The DJs here tend to play on sideways decks as the DJ booths are fairly small, but im getting used to it slowly.
With 3 events this week (2 in Minsk and 1 in Gomel) im ready to smash out a few big sets and get to the top of my game.
One thing that has really taken me by surprise is the huge enthusiasm people over here have for enjoying themselves. At every event ive either played at or been to, its clear to see people out to have fun. It makes a refreshing change in comparison to some of the local politics in the UK DnB scene. I still watch facebook to see what is going on in the uk, and see the same bitching between internet stations, djs and mcs. It makes me laugh now at the childish behaviour that goes on. It is nice however to see that some of the smaller internet radio stations have learned from us that the more organised look of the V3 KRISISDnB website is the way to go and have followed our lead. We still have a lot more features on the V3 site and with more to come soon as well keeps KRISISDnB Number 1 !!!
The next month see me travelling once again off to Czech Republic in the middle of April with Red Catz and Yellow Int for an event with Tony, Dino and more. Things are also looking possible in the near future for a trip to Moscow in Russia. I really cant wait for that if it happens !
Then its back to London and the South Coast of the UK in July for a few weeks for a big event im in the process of planning.
Busy, but exciting times ahead!
