Alright! It's your man Fabio in the house.

This is my first of many blogs into my world!

I DJ all over the place but one of the best gigs over the last couple of weeks has to be Metalheadz at Cable in London… I love playing there. Also on the bill that night was Logistics, Commix, Heist and Noisia. Great crowd, good vibes heavy music! Drink of choice is vodka this weekend… although it can make me a little loud at times! What's changed?!

What do people think about the non-smoking in clubs?! Smoking definitely covered up a multitude of sins for some people... Get yourself some deodrant!

Some of you may not know I'm also a massive hip-hop & r&b fan.. So checked an r&b night in London on Sunday… great vibes! Tune of night 'Blowing Money' Rick Ross. Rick Rozay is killing it right now!

Make sure you keep tuned into BBC Radio 1Xtra where you get tune after tune after tune like this all day. https://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/

X Factor is back.. What's going on with that? You might think I'm not into it but you can't get away from it, plus it's always on the TV! I like to watch it when I'm doing the ironing! TreyC she's needs work on the voice but she's got suttin suttin!

Ok this started on the show… we started chatting about boys who wear those boots with their trousers tucked in!

I asked Pixie Lott about who was hanging in the Radio 1 Live Lounge with Greg James what she thought about it… and she thought undecided about it all..

Greg mentioned Dane Bowers is a fan and that clinched it, it’s a definite no-no for me!

Best Tune - Yo Girl - David Owen

Best Gig - Hospitality at Brixton - It was rammed in the venue and such a big night got Hospitality crew!.Loved seeing High Contrast and Danny byrd in full effect

Best Food - Pizza at the moment anything with anchovies and capers is my bag!

I'm thrilled to have made the move from BBC Radio 1Xtra to my new slot on Radio 1, 2-4am Wednesday nights into Thursday morning. Having been part of the 1Xtra family for eight years since the day the station went on the air in 2002, it's a blessing to be able to bring my loyal 1Xtra listeners with me to my new slot, as well as welcoming a whole new audience on Radio 1.

For those who aren't familiar with the music that I play, check the show on iPlayer and you will find that I try to represent future music across a variety of credible genres. In terms of dance, think of it as the deeper side of club music, whether that be house, hip-hop, dubstep, beats or electronic.

I've always endeavored to support emerging artists whether it be Flying Lotus, James Blake, Floating Points, Roska or Magnetic Man and the specialist output on Radio 1 has always been crucial in breaking new acts. It's a privilege to be part of this family.

Take a listen to the most recent show here

So with Cee-Lo still number one last week we got the lovely Thomas Gandey to work his magic on the track for Mash Hit… and this is what he did…

Listen again to the whole showif you missed it we had the exclusive first play of Katy B's new single which is AMAZING - listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t2l6lkwNmI

And then we chatted to Deadmau5 on the phone ahead of the first play of his new single 'Sofi Needs A Ladder'

And of course don’t forget to download the minimixes from Sh** Robot and Chase and Status

A bit of an industry blog this time, but I think it's relevant enough to not bore you all to sleep!

If you're not aware, last week was ADE in Amsterdam which is like Europe's answer to the Miami Music Conference. But more relevant to the hardcore crew, this year, for the first time a special HDE was held (Hard Dance Event), with all the major players from the world over making an appearance!

I took a wander over there, mainly just to be nosey and see what it was all about, but came away with an energised excitement about the scene.

Hearing nothing but ambitious plans for everything from hardcore raves in football stadiums to pioneering new genres of blistering beats to please (while inflicting damage to) your ears hehe...

Without giving away anyones secret plans, I'll just promise you 2011 will be a strong year for the harder styles!!!! Watch this space...

Plus, listen to my show from this week!

Welcome to my 1st post on the Radio 1 Dance Blog. I'm looking to make this a regular ting so stay close... Life seems to be getting busier and more fun by the day. After coming back off my US tour and experiencing jet lag that left me waking up at 7pm (yes 7pm), gigs, studio and radio runnins have been rammed into every second of the week. I had to chance to work with one of my heroes, D Double E, who I've watched on 'grime DVDs' since I was 16. He came to my studio, made me laugh and absolutely battered the mic. I DJ'd in Paris other week which was mad fun, but the hotel was the most stink think I've ever seen; I'm no diva but check out this radiator for example of tramp..

The only thing to keep me sane was to find some wireless internet and watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXElh_VM0Uc

Speaking of videos, on of my favourite tunes of the year, '2 Bears - Church', has now got a video and its just as sweet as the tune in a really bizarre, shouldn't-admit style n fashion. I had a problem watching it 'cus actually started getting emotional which is a problem when your watching Care Bears... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Mno22eVks

I played it on my In New DJs We Trust show last Thursday. Talking of the show, I had JME come through to show and help me along with a new feature called 'Toddla's T Time' where I have a cup of tea and someone comes take over for 5 mins. Listeners asked questions to the man himself via Facebook and he spat on Redlight's MDMA riddim, which was dutty!!!!!!

Listen again to my In New DJs We Trust Show!

On Friday I played alongside one of my heroes. Sir David 'Ram Jam' Rodigan... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR0oQwrlZD8

...after a show in Brighton, then it was back to the BBC towers to cover for Rob da Bank, 5-7am (listen here!). The madness continues... 'Till next month... lataaa x

It's been a frantic but amazing summer and the finale took place last weekend. Whilst Jaymo held down our closing party in Ibiza it was my job to hold the fort at our spiritual home, Moda; the club night we started nearly 4 years ago.

Our friend (and colleague!) Annie Mac was making the trip 150 miles up to Lincoln to play for us, along side fellow companions Doorly & Riva Starr (and an amazing new band called Monarchy!) It was a super crazy night & we thought we'd show you some pictures of the action too...

But, summer's officially over and 6 months of heavy rainfall/grey clouds/wind/snow (insert gloomy, cliche'd, british weather thoughts here) are about to descend over the UK.

We've been lucky enough to spend the past few months based in Ibiza, so the change in weather system has taken a little getting used to but we're so glad to be back. First thing first - to go through the months of post i'd missed from Radio 1 and home

There are so many amazing albums dropping right now. Highlights have been new Magnetic Man, Everything Everything, Chromeo, French Horn Rebellion, Drums of Death, Fenech-Soler (Basically this list could go on for a while).

With so much amazing new music around we were more excited than even to be back on In New DJ's We Trust last week. We've had wicked new disco from Rory Phillips, ear-shattering cut-up electro from BeatauCue, a dope blissed-out remix from Villa and the first play of Herve's remix of Mark Ronson.

Listen again to the show on the iPlayer now! Make sure you listen back to our show too!

Hello dance blog fans, Huw Stephens here!

DIY Label of the Week on my Wednesday night Radio 1 show this week was the amazing Black Acre Records - if you love your dubstep, these Brizzle beat-releasers will be right up your street.

Read all about it and hear 2 bangers from the label at the BBC Introducing blog

Plus, make sure you listen to my show to hear more!

How you doing there?
It's your friendly neighborhood ninja DJ....Jaguar Skills!
You good?
I've been busting it up and down the country recently, on my first UK tour. The Smash Up Tour.
It's been great...AND a sell out...so I can't have wished better than that!
As well as gigging, I was lucky enough to headline at my own festival. JAGFEST 2010.
I really thought it was going to be busier, but due to the fact that it was held in a secret location, which we only knew about on the day, hardly anyone showed up! Oh well. Drum & Bass superstar, Danny Byrd DID find it, however, and rocked the spot. So did my man Kutski, DJ@War and The Prototypes. Oh, and Dub-Step bad-boys, Torqux & Twist blew up the speakers, and I got some food poisoning from eating a this thing called a HOGPOT, or POTHOG, can't remember.
Anyway - selected highlights are available to listen to now, on the iplayer, so I suggest you drop what you're doing now, and check it out.
Me? I've got a mask to wash...see ya soon!
HooooOOOOOOO!!!!!
