Japan 🇯🇵 December 2025 - January 2026

Had an amazing time in the motherland, as always 🇯🇵
Thank you to all the promoters in Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Niseko, Hakuba, Kokura, and Nagoya for having me and for keeping DnB alive in Japan ✨
Sometimes you don’t realise how unique and special Japanese culture is. I’m more proud of my country than ever and truly appreciate it 🙏❤️

Until next time ☺️

一昨日ロンドンに帰って来ました🎈今年も東京、大阪、札幌、ニセコ、白馬、北九州、名古屋の皆様ありがとうございました🙏 各地それぞれ色があって、とても楽しかったです🥰 また次回お会いしましょう。

As 2025 approaches its end, I’d like to thank each and every one of you who streamed or bought my music, all the promoters who booked me throughout the year, and everyone who came out to see me at events.

I say this every year, but 2025 has gone by incredibly fast. I feel like I’ve been in the studio constantly, writing a lot of new music. I’ve also released my own music, collaborations, and remixes consistently throughout the year. In particular, the posthumous album for Conrad and the re-recorded version of Golden Girl were definite highlights. Thank you so much for all your support for these projects. I hope Conrad is smiling up there.

Big love to all the collaborators, all the artists who asked me to remix their music or trusted me with their work, and to all the labels involved.

Next year, DJ Marky and I have got something special — watch this space for more information! Hopefully, we’ll be able to share what we’ve been working on soon.

I’m incredibly grateful that I was able to visit and perform in so many places this year, including Brazil, USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Switzerland, and all over Japan. I never take this for granted.

Wishing you a very happy new year 🎉
