I’m pretty buzzing with this. First attempt at a guest mix on friskyRadio and get to number 3 in the Top 100 most popular sets. Thank you to that pesky Robert Clark for having me on his show.

I’m still Jenny from the Block.

One thing I nearly did at the beginning of the new year is permanently delete my DJ logo and start afresh by designing a brand new one. I’d just started to hate this one, for some reason.

I’m glad I changed my mind and stuck with it, though, as I’ve learned to love it all over again so it’s going nowhere hun.

I’m so disappointed in myself as a parent whilst out in Benidorm tonight. Doing lines of crushed up Vi**ra in the toilets in Neptunes whilst supposed to be looking after my daughter is not big and it’s not clever.

Apologies and stuff

Last night was absolutely mint. Supposed to play a three hour set at but got a bit carried away and played an eight hour set instead!

It meant that I missed everything that was going on in the Basement but I didn’t care as I was having the most untold time upstairs.

Hopefully get to do it again at some point.

Wagwan, I’m pleased To say I’ll be playing for again at on April 14th alongside some top local talent.

I really enjoyed it last time, especially considering I hadn’t played house in a long time, so I can’t wait to be back.

Wagwan, I’ll be back at Vision Club Mcr for Forever Collective on Friday April 14th, playing B2B with one of these talented humans.

I really enjoyed being playing a rare housey set there a couple of weeks ago so I’m happy to have been asked back to do it again. I might even go back to playing house more often.

The first 100 tickets are absolutely free. Link in comments.

Behold, a new gig announcement and it's a sexy one for March 18th. My first time playing in Scotland, my first time playing in a castle, and my first time playing for Music is the Answer.

Even more so, my first time playing on the same lineup as the mighty wizard James Zabiela.

I'm not feeling very musical or feeling like myself at the minute, but pushing myself to try and have a quick mix before WWE Smackdown starts at 1am.

Have a nice and safe weekend, everyone; whatever you may be doing.

Apart from the obvious people who have me play for them, two people I’ve never thought to thank for things going up a notch in recent times are that pesky Jack Shingler and Peter Sweetman.

The reason being is that I used to DJ under my full name ‘Daz Manchild Smith’. Then they booked me for their new night at Stage & Radio in Manchester but inexplicably put me on the flyer as just ‘Manchild’.

It bugged me at the time as I was using my full name and it was too late for them to change the flyer, but the more I looked at it, the more I thought that maybe I should keep it. It was already a nickname and my middle name on here anyway, partially in homage to my love of Neneh Cherry and also as it suits my childish nature. It was just never meant to be my DJ name so took some getting used to.

I’m glad it happened now, though, as I genuine believe it played a big part in things changing for me, whether it was intentional or not. Things just picked up from then on, and even the Devoted lads kept saying I should shorten it when I was still with them. I was stubborn, though, and never listened to their advice when I should have.

To cut a long story short, I finally realised that it’s a cool as f**k name anyway. Hence why it then became my legal middle name and is even on my passport.

Thank you, Jack and Pete x

Sadness as music venue announces closure amid cost of living crisis

I’m absolutely gutted to wake up to the news that one of my favourite venues to play is closing 💔

I’ve only played at Sunbird Records in Darwen twice but they are two nights I will never forget.

Sunbird Records, on The Circus in Darwen, has now closed after seven years in operation and the venue is now in the process of being stripped out.
