It's been a while but Simon returns with a homage to DJ Hell and International Deejay Gigolo Records. The label dominated the early 2000's and are still blazing a trail today. Techno, house and a disco dancer all from Munich, Paris, Montreal and Ghent.
Simon books a week off and wastes it drinking and playing tunes. House, garage and techno from the man room at the end of March. Two-thousand criminal minds!!!!
Simon looks back to pay homage to his musical heroes of the mid-00s. This week's podcast is a musical journey through all the parties we threw and went to while living with reckless abandon. Nights at Mint Club & Sankeys. Festivals at Glastonbury and Sonar. Holidays in Ibiza and Berlin. Music from my musical heroes Stephan Bodzin, Mark Romboy, Tiga, James Holden, Joe Goddard, Steve Bug, Josh Wink, Shed and many many many more.
Big Big Love continues to defy my expectations with so many new people listening and supporting the mixes. Thank you everyone around the world for listening. I don't produce as much as I used to. I'm hoping the less-is-more approach is sounding good with you.
Obviously lockdown has gone far beyond a joke and everyone is desperate to see each again. Hopefully we will see each other soon.

Simon documents 2 months of incarceration with an hour of house and techno. Rise from your grave!!
Friday afternoon, headphones on in chez Fee. Long electronic weepies, live bangers and everything else in between courtesy of Simon and the man room.
Big Big Love returns with an hour of DnB and Jungle insanity. Best heard while driving a transit van full of Dandelion & Burdoch ;-) I'll reach 7k listens this week since i started. Thanks to all everywhere in UAE, UAE, UK & Europe and everyone else elsewhere for their support. Simon
Simon closes a truly appalling year with part 2 of the lockdown anthems. Big Big Love reaches 40 episodes and over 6.5k listens. Thanks to everyone who has showed their support. Hopefully next year will be less shit than this one. Sxxxx
Hello, Simon here. I, like you, have spent the majority of my life at home. I spent most of it in the man room working and listening to a lot of music. This mix is the first of many. Rather than do the usual best of list, I've pulled together tunes I've been listening to/obsessing over while i waited for the zombie apocalypse/armageddon to come. Ps. check out the Sully - Slowdive EP. There are 2 tunes on this mix but I could have put all of them on. Merry Xmas! S

In the words of Phil "thank you, we love you all!"
Simon fails miserably trying to mix Trance classics, instead coming up with this. Every track a classic. We risk sanity for moments of temporary enlightenment.
Hi All. Big Big Love returns for good. I wasn't really feeling the AG idea after 9 hours. I don't think my record collection could stand up to the scrutiny ;-) Just doing this one mix has made me realise how much I enjoy the idea of Big Big Love. This week eases us in with some deep classics old & new with some Pink Floyd thrown in the middle for good measure. In the next few weeks will be Acid pt3, another Chemical Brothers special along with some other showcases of artists and labels plus a stack load of DnB & Jungle!!

This mix covers most of the anthems we played for pretty much every party plus a few new ones we should be playing.
Episode 19 is out later this weekend that will cover the more underground sound that me and all the other DJs used to play.
Enjoy
