Time to say my views on a few things I think. Personally I dont care whether you agree with my views or not. I am putting this up on my blog as a blog is intended to be a collection of posts about a person or a theme which is exactly what my page is.
Having travelled away from the UK over the last couple of years its made me realise how the DnB scene in the uk is so riddled with politics its unreal.
On one end theres the so called larger names that appear on the top of flyers up and down the country every week. Yes a lot of them have done a huge amount for the scene in the last 20 years, but surely there is an end to someones 'shelflife'. The DnB scene seems to extend that far more than any other genre of music ive ever listened to !!
Then there is the lower end of the scene.. the 'up and comings' as they like to be known as. A million and one DJs and MCs scrabbling around for any small event they can get their names on the flyer for. I would like to think that im selective in the events I play at these days as some just simply are not worth the hassle even turning up to. 2010 was probably the first year I broke out of the 'up and coming' section and started doing what I wanted to do instead of whatever came my way. Yes there will always be events that I play at that I did not for my own benefit, but to help promote the event or a friend running it and that will always be the case.
Now I am living in Minsk Belarus it gives me a good chance to watch what happens in the UK from a distance, and in same way as I watched for the early part of 2010 it still makes me laugh how DJs and MCs I had in my studio in Southampton are exactly the same as they were 2 or 3 years ago. No vision to progress !!! I see people saying 'ooo im on flyer with XXXX (insert any well known DJ name) on XXX event'. I just think 'WOW, well done on getting yourself in 3rd, 4th, or 8th place on a flyer !!!'. Now im not one to rate any dj on their position on a flyer, and iv never been one to try and get flyer 'position' over anyone else. Where I am different to a lot of others in the UK nowadays is that Im not happy to be an 'extra' on a lineup. Thats one of the very reasons why coming here is more than just a holiday, is partly a means of my ambition to progress as a quality DJ in my own right.
Yes it may be a bit easier to come here and to get headline sets every month than it is in England, but it has got my name known to an audience from a different country and raised my profile loads. Personally I see that as a big achievement and something I am proud to be able to say I have done. There is still a long way to reach all of my goals but at this time Im happy with how things are going.
More soon !!!

MX needs help to stay in Belarus... AGAIN !!!
My plea for help to anyone who can give me some advice....
I would like to ask your assistance in a visa problem I have.
I originally came to Belarus twice during 2009 (August for a holiday, and October for a job interview as a native English teacher with Streamline in Minsk).
I was accepted for the teaching job (on an evaluation basis to start with in order for them to assess whether I was suitable for the role), so sold my house in the UK and came to Belarus on the 5th February 2010.
On arriving in Minsk on February 5th 2010, I purchased a Tourist visa at Minsk 2 airport. I settled in with my friends who I had been here to see in 2009, and a few days later went to Streamline to work out how they were going to assess me over the coming weeks. It was only then that they asked whether I had registered at my local office. I hadn’t, so went there the following day with my friend to solve the issue. I paid the due fine for late registration and confirmed that to Streamline.
At the end of February my visa was due to expire. I told my local registration office that my intention was to obtain full time employment in Belarus, so needed to know the best way to achieve that. So as instructed by them, I got a train to Kiev in Ukraine in order to purchase a new visa but this time a Guest visa for 30 days (I was told then that I would not have to make a further trip to Ukraine in order to extend my stay).
My assessment classes with Streamline were going fine, but they informed me that they were unlikely to be able to offer me a full time work visa as they already had 2 native English speakers and there simply wasn’t enough work for a third. So I started looking for alternative teaching schools or IT companies to work for, as I have over 20 years IT experience from the UK, so I was able to give Belarus something back from the experience I have. With multiple interviews at English schools and EPAM IT company I was so close to getting a full time job.
As instructed by the local registration office I went to them a week before my visa and registration were going to expire. I was informed that basically I had 1 week to obtain a work visa and to get it into the system in order to continue my stay here. However I still had a number of days allowance for one last extension as a guest. I enquired once again at Streamline who were very happy with my teaching skills, whether they could offer me a contract. They now said there was an opening so they could. So I went back (again) to Kiev in Ukraine and got the remaining days I could which would then give enough time for Streamline to sort the paperwork for my work visa if none of the other vacancies I had applied for came back to me in time. EPAM offered me the job as well as Streamline, and even though it was less salary, I decided to go for Streamline as it was something I enjoyed doing.
After about 15 days Streamline’s lawyer replied to my manager at Streamline saying that there was an ‘administration problem’ which meant that I was unable to get a work visa at this time. I then found out that in order to get the work visa, I needed a house contract in my name. I assumed this was the problem, and therefore, went out and rented a flat myself and got the contract which I then took to the lawyer today. It now turns out that that wasn’t the administration problem at all, but that the fact that I registered 3 days late when I arrived back in February was the issue. I immediately went to the British Embassy in Minsk to try to speak to someone but they are closed until Monday 26th due to elections I believe. It is now the 22nd April and my visa expires on the 27th April so I am very short of time.
Therefore within a week of me arriving here, I stood no chance of this ever working. I find this hard to take, considering the amount of effort I have put in to get things sorted, having spent a lot of money on visas, trips to Ukraine, and a house contract, as well as applications for job vacancies to companies in order to get me the best job I could, and sorting the necessary paperwork for the work visa. It was all a complete waste of time it seems. I cant believe how a lack of knowledge on local processes can do this. I accepted my mistake and rectified it as soon as I knew and paid the fine, which I assumed closed the matter. To have continued for 2 months spending the amount of money I have trying to make this work, without ever finding out until now that this registration issue would come back to bite me is unbelievable.
It is apparently 2 administrative errors that should cause a problem like I’m facing now with regards to a work visa, but it seems a SINGLE administrative error (my late registration in February) can mean I cannot get a job.
I would like some advice as to how I proceed (if possible) or who I should speak to before my current (and final) visa runs out on Tuesday 27th April.
This whole process upsets me so much as I have done everything I could, to learn local customs and laws, and to integrate and provide a positive contribution to every Belarusian I have met on both a social basis and from a teaching point of view as well.
I want to stay here and continue to contribute to Belarusian society !!! Of all of the countries I have visited in Europe (Germany, France, Spain, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Slovakia and Hungary), Belarus is the one place that I really want to live in ! I really hope that something can be done in the next few days to help me stay here.

KRISISDnB interviewed on HotDJGear.com
KRISISDnB.COM started in early 2007. Launched as a 24/7 Drum and Bass radio station, we wanted to do things differently and give people something fresh to listen to, and to be involved in as well. Having successfully recruited some hugely talented DJs and MCs from around the world it has extended the range from just being a small UK based station, to an international one with artists and listeners from places like Canada, USA, Brazil, Australia, Germany, Belarus, Malaysia, Ukraine, Georgia and so many more.
Since we launched the station, we started organising our own events on the South Coast of the UK. There was a demand from our listeners to see our artists performing live, so we responded by doing just that, as well as bringing headliners like Twisted Individual, Simon Bassline Smith, DJ Sly,
DJ Pleasure, MC Rhymes and many more who have all taken an interest in helping the progress of the brand.
The next natural step was to launch our own label KRISISDnB RECORDINGS which we achieved in the last part of 2009. As the station and events have evolved we became aware that we had some very talented producers on board, so we wanted to give the world the opportunity to hear their work. With over 30
releases on the label so far, we have managed to build up a wide range of sub-genres in the releases we have put out. With most vinyl labels struggling to make ends meet due to the current financial climate, we followed the trend of the digital label. Most people now have I-Pods or use other mobile devices to listen to music, and with a lot of DJs tuning their skills to the digital age then it made sense.
With a million and one other internet radio stations, we needed to be better than the rest. We believe we have achieved that by having artists playing everything from Jungle, Techstep, and Neurofunk, to Jump up, Liquid and Breaks. With input from our artists and listeners, we added the features they wanted to see, from live webcams from our artists studios, to helping them listen and get in the chatroom from their mobile phones. The website has had 3 versions since day 1 now culminating in the V3 site which has brought everything together. With a new design and logo alongside a solid foundation for additional features, and with the station now being managed from both the UK and Belarus, there will be future additions built in to further increase the accessibility of the site to other countries.
So come along and see what you think! You can find us on :

What now.....
Well, as we agreed with the local registration office when I made the trip to Kiev in Ukraine last month to renew my visa, we went back to the office in order to extend my visa in Belarus.
Alex and myself were both expecting some sort of fee to extend it and that would be it.... things are never that simple here. Yes I am now on the right visa type, but they have a limit of 90 days total a foreigner is allowed in Belarus per year. There is a way to extend it, and its a good job we went there today so I have 7 days in order to try to solve this. I now need a work visa, which requires me to have a work contract from a company that is permitted to employ foreigners. My whole plan from the start of this trip was that Streamline were going to employ me therefore giving me the required documents I needed to have done this from day 1.
Well that hasnt happened, and the demand for native english speakers at Streamline is covered by Ian and Cole. Cole has helped me out a lot to try to give me as many ideas for more work here, and I have an interview at a different language school tomorrow. Its a long shot, but will see what happens.
I will be so upset if I have to leave here. The people here have been fantastic, and its been so good to have had the chance to start to integrate with a whole different culture. Yes the language has been a bit of a barrier, but ive had such a good time, and I dont want it to end yet.
If I can just get a job sorted that pays enough to pay the rent and give me enough to live on alongside DJing here as well then im fine.
Well ive sent about 20 emails and made as many calls as I can to schools and even IT companies (which I dont really want to get back into if im perfectly honest) to try and make a last ditch effort to keep me here. If that doesnt happen, then I still have a few options...
I can go to Ukraine and teach down there for a while until I find something permanent in Belarus. I dont need a visa to be there so its a real possibility, and does give me the opportunity to see a bit more of Ukraine as well. I could go to Czech Republic as Im playing there in April anyway, so it sort of makes sense at least for the short term.
Hmm how about Georgia... I dont know the visa situation for there yet, but it really would be good to meet up with Alex Rayden especially as I intended to go there last year but couldnt afford it.
So many 'Ifs and Buts' its unreal !! I JUST WANT TO STAY HERE !!!! The only real way is to hope that the interview tomorrow goes well or one of the other emails ive sent out comes up with some light at the end of the tunnel.
I guess there will be another update on here in the next few days, I just hope its a good update !

LAST POST OF 2009 - 2010 IS TIME FOR THE BIG MOVE !!!
2009 is almost done and its been an amazing year not only for myself but also for KRISISDnB.COM. A brand new website that has left other stations trying to catch up with the lead we have taken. Some massive events with some real top class names, not many people would argue that Grid Recordings Twisted Individual is a legend in the scene so for us to have had him ask us to be resident DJ for 3 of our events this year was amazing for not only the events, but KRISISDnB as well. Big ups Twisted !!
For me personally there have been so many highlights this year, iv performed at more quality events than I did during 2008. That would be enough in itself, but the names I have played alongside has been unreal. I played sets directly before DJ HYPE and DJ PLEASURE which will be something I wont forget for a very long time. Meeting Josh (DJ HIGHROLLER) finally, after speaking to him for what seems like years it was good to get him to our event in Portsmouth back in February. Getting RUSTY over from Brazil, and seeing his face when he met both Twisted and G-Dub was unreal. My 2 trips over to Belarus and Ukraine were out of this world, so much so that the plans are almost in place for me to move there at the end of January 2010. A huge step into the unknown, but with real friends in RED CATZ over there its going to be a massive learning curve to learn a new language, meet new people, and build the KRISISDnB brand over there further. From my trip in August to Minsk It will be hard to forget performing midnight set in front of thousands of crazy russians and belarusians, it was one of the most nervous but also most satisfying moments in my life.
As with any plans there was always going to be some problems, after applying for voluntary redundancy 3 times at my current job, they kept on coming up with reasons why they couldnt let me go (fuckers !!!). However that wont change things, and in fact makes me even more determined to make it work. With a job as an English Teacher waiting for me, they can stick there job up there arse, as im not waiting any more for more rounds of redundancies to get the same response each time.
The KRISISDnB.COM V3 website had its initial problems going live, but it didnt take too long to get those sorted. Now its performing well and raised the game compared to other stations. Big ups to NeO for all the hard work he has put in to making it the best radio site on the web. Its only the start, and you can expect more groundbreaking developments during 2010 as we realise the full potential of what we can do with it.
Well im writing this on 23rd December, as there is absolutely no chance of getting in to work as the roads are iced up, cars smashing into each other, trains a joke as always, so sat here with a cup of tea surrounded by 2 heaters (not sure if you can be 'surrounded' by 2 heaters but oh well)
I expect this to be my last blog post of 2009, so to everyone who has supported me during the year have an amazing christmas and new year, and hope you will keep following me during 2010

October Update
After a quiet month eventwise as there has been so much going on with the V3 website, things get moving again in 2 weeks time !!!
Firstly next friday im off to Ukraine and Belarus for the weekend. Big ups to Red Catz for getting in touch with Fade over there and sorting an event in Kiev, Ukraine on the 23rd October.
Venue : Bingo Nightclub, Kiev
Lineup :
MX (KrisisDnB, UK)
RED CATZ (KrisisDnB, BY)
V:G:K [Acid Robots, Hellfire, BreakVision]
Fade [Synchronize, Melting Pot]
Katwon b2b Miss Sue [Волны, Brutal Attack Rec]
Tr1ton [Dangerbeat]
Fish [NSS Rec]
Then its my long awaited trip to Chernobyl on Saturday 24th !!! Finally i will ge right up to Reactor 4 and the surrounding towns and villages.
Flight up to Minsk in Belarus to then start the next phase of my plan to move to Belarus. Ive got an interview at a university to teach English. If the interview and trial class goes well then who knows where I will be at xmas. Yes im nervous but also looking forward to it. It will be a huge challenge to integrate with people over there and language is going to be my main barrier, but hopefully I can start to learn russian or belarusian over there as well.
Either way im back in the UK on the 27th and in the same way as my last trip to Belarus, I came back to our next event at The Ashley in the New Forest. 30th October is our 3rd event there and even though Stamma wont be there this time, this event is for him as he started this all off. Kendall and Gambit have helped loads and its looking good to be another full house for our halloween event.
Then the catch of the year. Big ups to Generation DnB for asking NeO, Gambit and myself to play at your event on 4th December in Bognor. Weve played alongside some class DJs over the last few years, and some big names as well, but none as big as DJ HYPE !!! Just being on the flyer alongside him is an amazing feeling, but to meet the legendary owner of Ganja Recordings is going to be out of this world.Then its either time for a leaving party if Belarus happens that quick or a KRISISDnB XMAS SPECIAL to arrange !!! Busy Busy Busy !!
In between all that the V3 Phase 2 site needs to be worked on and implemented. Weve still got a few bugs to sort on the current site but were slowly getting there and its all working fine so far.
More soon.....
