So on Friday I went rollerskating. You’d think a grown man on 8 wheels is never a good idea. I absolutely flippin’ loved it. Is this the worst part? Nope. The worst part is I actually own my own skates.

What is great Satan’s pee hole has this got to do with UK Garage and this week’s show? Nothing. But I don’t imagine anyone reads this anyway so I’ll say what I like. Sometimes I like to pee on insects, film it in slow motion and set it to dramatic music as they drown in my fluids.

Part of this update on my life is not true. You can guess which bit.

Word to your maker.

So here we are. Episode 100. And after a night of listening to some of the most boring thumping 4×4 minimal shit in the East End of London (tequila and Jagerbombs are at fault) I was hanging out of my arsehole.

Thanks so much for sticking with me all the way. And if you haven’t had a chance yet, make sure you grab my latest mix by taking part in the Brainz Podcast survey.

You lot a frigging legends, watch out for the suspect bait hangover mixes, and I hope you enjoy the special bumpy present for the last 30 minutes.

Maximum respect,

So I’ve got an exclusive new promo mix for you to get your hands on, and the chance to grab some Amazon vouchers. Wicked! There’s a tiiiiiny little catch here for you to get your hands on them.

I wanted to say maximum respect for sticking with me through the last 99 episodes of UK garage goodness. As we fast approach episode 100, there were 2 things I wanted to do. Firstly, give you guys something for being loyal listeners, and secondly get some information from you.

I’m running my first survey for the Brainz podcast. I want to know what you want. How can I improve? What do you want that I’m not giving you? What was your favourite episodes and should I do more like that? Do you want to be more involved?

To answer these and some other questions, I have a handy survey link.

How it works

• Go to the survey, fill out all the answers
• On the completion page there’s a link to the mix download page
• On the mix download page: if you want to enter the competition for the Amazon vouchers, enter your details. If not, leave it all blank.
• Click “Enable Download” and then click the download link to get the mix!

I’m giving away one prize of a £30 Amazon voucher, and 3 runner up prizes of £10 vouchers. Awesome.

The mix is absolutely banging and has some of my favourite current tunes and some bangers from the past few years.

So please, get involved, help me do what I do better and get your hands on the best studio mix I’ve put together for 5 years.

Safe for keeping it Brainz, and here’s to 100 more!

Altercations on a bus in Shoreditch, teenagers going 4 ways on Soundlab belt drives and making sure that Nigel Benn is rocking a strap all form the story of Orpheus:ldn in this special episode of the Brainz podcast.

Here, you get to meet me and my running partner Paul Muad’dib. We sit down, tell you about who we are, how we got here and why the fuck we even talk to each other.

So strap your earbuds in and listen to us suck ourselves off whilst we imagine that you give a shit what we think.

Big up.

Sometimes we need UK Garage Psychotherapy. This was definitely the case for me after a tragic Friday night. The banging tunes were a very soothing remedy to the emotional scars I’d gained.

So now I won’t be rocking backwards and forwards in a corner saying “please don’t touch me, please don’t touch me”. I hope this helps others in the same way.

Safety!

Happy New Year kiddywinks. Had mad fun on this show. One of the reasons was that my Orpheus:ldn brother Paul Muad’dib was in the studee-i-oh for the show.

Bare new riddims. Like BARE. As usual. There’s the occasional pot and pan that I’m aware of and sorry for that. Really. But hopefully that won’t detract from what is a great UK Garage start to 2013.

Happy January!

Hang on… Just putting on my best Barry Manilow voice…

LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IT!

The world didn’t end. Remember when that was a thing? It was only a thing (I imagine) as a large percentage of derkheads actually thought it might end. There was solid apocalyptic dicksplash chat all over Twitter. It bored me. Then we survived and no one breathed a word of it again. THANK FUCK.

So, after we’ve now spent all our money, had one last crack at smashing that chick we always fancied and told certain man to FUCK OFF we now have to face reality. What better way than with the last Brainz show of 2012?

Lots of new music for you. Bare riddos. Then for the last half hour or so I roll you through a little journey of some of my favourite bits from the past 12 months.

Please enjoy, and good luck in our brave new world.

All the best for 2013
