 Fondue, fire places and red wine. That about sums up the perfect weekend in the snow. Maybe a slide or two on a sleigh. Well, that was the standard till I stumbled upon - and played, in a private club in one of the most beautiful chalet's in Verbier, Switzerland. This weekend I was a guest of Chalet L. Raphael. Easily one of the largest and .. who else has an underground swimming pool AND club underneath their snowy driveways.  The party lasted till every CD in my case was out and strewn across the decks. A little breather to break up the long set was happily welcomed as I got to play B2B with long time Parisian friend Benjamin Kazan, part owner of the infamous Chez Raspoutine club in Paris.

 Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club is one of those hidden beauties in the heart of often trashy Soho in London. A beautiful escape from the bright lights and drunken zombies. For a few quid you can park yourself in front of some inspiring music, till the late hours of the morning. Jazz is poetry. It is one of the most hybrid genres of music, with influences from all corners of the globe. One of my favourite Jazz composers is Ketil Bjornstad. Melancholic productions that bring up feelings of nostalgia, reflection and appreciation of the beauty of life. I discovered him after watching a Polish film - Samotność w sieci, for which he composed the entire soundtrack.
Of course, jazz music has influenced house music. Melodies that intertwine with bass beats, high hats, subtle trumpets and highlights the beauty when two genres come together. Here are some tracks to think about: "Atmosphere" - Kerri Chandler " Jazz For You" - Chase Buch "In The Music" - Deep Swing "Jealous" - Martin Rothbarth  Truffled burgers, rose and deep house ... ah did someone say a well curated brunch party or what? Today marks the first of many brunch parties to be held by NAC, a new restaurant in Mayfair. Owned by a good friend of mine, I'm excited to be apart of this new concept. The whole team is super fun and the crowd loves music .. always a win win. Here's a little tracklist of what's to come "Everything ( Mark Fanciulli remix )" - Rampa "The Guitar Man" - Weiss "United" - Claptone "I wanna feel" - Secondcity Come down for a tipple and a dance!
