Musings on music, travel, life
I had booked 2 nights in Tangier but my intention was to cram most of the sightseeing into one day. Whilst not necessarily top of my list of places to visit in Morocco, I was still interested to see it - serving as the gateway to Africa it has a very rich history. First up in... Continue Reading →
A year on and I was heading back to Morocco. As much as anything else my choice of destination was on the grounds it would be a cheap trip to a warm destination. The intention was to spend a bit more time exploring this really interesting country and visit some new places I had not... Continue Reading →
The first System Showcase of the year is now available for streaming and download via my Soundcloud page. It is a two-hour mix this time as we decided to let my co-host Andy Green have a rare month off! I certainly enjoyed the opportunity to dig deeper into my sound for this one. https://soundcloud.com/robinthurston/robin-thurston-system-showcase-january-2019 To... Continue Reading →

Mykonos in the Greek Cyclades is another clubbing hotspot I have a special connection with from times past.

It was 12 August and the date was set for Anjuna Deep’s London homecoming as the summer festival season continued in style. With a line-up showcasing a host of talented artists it looked sure to be a great party. Anticipation for the event had been building in recent weeks and I’d snapped up a ticket at the...

Situated around 25km due west of Amsterdam at Bloemendaal beach, Woodstock '69 is a legendary summer party spot. I had a lot of fun there last year seeing Hernan Cattaneo and Pole Folder but the weather had not been so great. Needless to say I was keen to come back and experience the place in...

I trace it all back to the day of the Sheffield half marathon in 2004. After the race I had been at a BBQ near Hunters Bar and had consumed a number of beers to refuel. Then on the way back home I randomly bumped into my friends Nils and Gina in the street who... Continue Reading →
It was that time of year again to head out to Barcelona for the annual pilgrimage to Sonar and its ever increasingly popular off-Sonar spin off. For me this was part two of the European techno season after my recent excursion to the Ibiza opening parties. With most of the European techno community in Barcelona... Continue Reading →
When Sven Väth's Cocoon party first came to Monday nights at Amnesia, Ibiza in 1999 the clubbing landscape on the island was very different to what it is now with house and trance dominant and no-one really pushing techno. Cocoon changed all that bringing techno sounds to the fore and spawning many other nights in the process,... Continue Reading →
