In 2010, I kicked off a long European tour. The first stop was fabric in London, UK. I had a great slot in a packed and enthusiastic Room Two (the techno room). I got an apartment in Glasgow and made it my base for a few months while I played gigs on the weekend and worked on new music and remixes during the week, on top of dev work.

I played many of my gigs with Slam, with whom I became close friends. Standout gigs for me were at, of course, fabric, a killer night at Pressure at The Arches, The Loft at Razzmatazz in Barcelona, and my dream gig: a two-hour DJ set for an over-capacity, screaming, dancing crowd at Sub Club. Towards the end of the tour, I opened for Hot Chip, and was performing more nights on than off. It was my job.
