Yes. You read that right. I’m delighted to say that the lovely little fluidnation app for Android phones, is now out and available in the Android Market. The new update includes a few bug fixes and smooths the app over.

It will keep you up to date with all the fluidnation news, downloads etc… and also gives you the capability of listening to the radio shows on Chill (DAB/Online) with the push of a button (works only when 3G/WiFi is turned on)

Hope you enjoy it!

I’m absolutely chuffed that my new album, The Chillout Lounge 4, is out now on download, and out on CD on 26th July.

I understand there have been problems with the CD album already selling out on Amazon; they started selling the album ahead of the official UK release date, which had left some people who had pre-ordered the album online with copies, and a small amount people that had pre-ordered the album without copies. Obviously we regret that this has happened.

The album was released for download on 5th July 2010 on iTunes, Amazon, Play etc… but the physical CD copy isn’t due for release until Monday 26th July. This was always due to be the case, but unfortunately Amazon jumped the gun with the CD album. Although it is extremely encouraging that the album has sold out already (and now waiting for more stock),  it is gutting that some people have been left disappointed. Hopefully when the album arrives through your letterboxes, it will make up for that disappointment. We will be working hard to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.

Thank you all so much for your continued support and for all your emails. We’re very, very proud of this album so thank you to all the artists, producers and labels, and of course to all at i-label

For all the up-to-date news on the line-up, head over to the Big Chill site.

I can confirm that I have been booked to DJ at the Big Chill Festival which will take place at the stunning Eastnor Castle Deer Park in Ledbury, UK, August 5-8th 2010. This is always a stunning celebration of music and life – an essential weekend on the calendar – an absolute MUST!
