I hadn't been in London for about a decade so I was eager to rediscover the City. The scale and density of London really impressed me. Once you drive away from central London, it looks more like a conurbation than a town which expanded organically. I've been dreaming for years about a city which never stops and London is the closest thing I've witnessed to date. A kebab shop open at 2am is no big surprise but I would be willing to pay to have 24/7 supermarkets in Brussels!

I actually spent most of my time in the Mecca of grime: South London. I had a great time hanging out and doing some record shopping with Plasticman. That was just what I expect from a city trip, just feeling the atmosphere, changing the pace and tasting another lifestyle, one bitesize at a time...

The DMZ party was big : nice venue decently packed with a friendly crowd. The 12k soundsystem more than lives up the hype: it is absolutely guts twisting. I had never felt my lungs and my throat vibrating from the inside. Every kick is just a short moment of compressed silence lost in a continuous stream of deep, monstruous sub bass lines. We entered the venue minutes before Joe Nice took control of the decks. He started with really slow dubstep tunes but finished his set with a couple of totally killer tracks (including 'Empire', a smashing piece by distance) that definitely got me into the party. For the next couple of hours, the crowd was taken over by the Digital Mystikz & Loefah, delivering some slow and dark material, dropping dubplates after dubplates, back to back style. D1 gently drove on the highway built by the Mystikz, he still managed to make things get darker and louder. Plasticman hyped up the crowd with a very energetic 3 decks set. Every Plasticman mix I've heard recently just sounds better than the previous one. I can't get enough of these tight beat and harmonics matching! If you want to hear how it's like, check Plastic's latest Rinse FM mix, it's "serious"!

Big up to the whole Plastic family, Mala & Coki, Skream, Distance, Quiet Storm, Joe Nice, JME, Messiah, all the Rinse FM crew, and all the Croydon, Thornton Heath and Brixton massive! Boooh! That's some good time we've had!
