I often am amazed by the experiences I get to enjoy whilst DJin Mariachi… The oportunity to watch dancers come out their shells, see dancers improve right in front of me, witness good dancers flying by the seat of their pants to tunes just screaming to be danced to… Sometimes I find the words to describe what I see, sometimes I am lost…

After the weekend I’ve just had, all I can share with you is…

WOW!!!!

What a weekend!!!! Great dances, good times… watching people walk through the door knowing they should be at LUX weekender is always a bonus!!!

Anyway… up and coming:

We’ve been through March.. we survived… more than that, we danced!!!!

Oakham was amazing… the Full Phat experience… experimental tracks… and 6 hours of intensity on the floor.

Morris and Judith’s Birthday Bash redefined the word “Party”. It was fabulous and we managed to gain a few more converts to the Mariachi cause… WOW!! This expressive dancing lark kinda catches on… ;~)

Oxford was tremendous, too… Mariachi Lite has a slightly more chilled feel.. still intense, but more relaxed in tempo, in feel… and still some supreme daning to watch..

So, now… we’re looking towards April and May… Keep an eye on the group as we have a couple of very nice dates to announce in the next week, or so…

and so the lion goes from strength to strength..

Mariachi is bracing itself for March… After a hugely successful Rock Bottoms, we are getting it together for 3, yes THREE, events in march - this has now become 2 with the chance 2 dance comp moving to later in the year

Sat 14th saw us in Oakham… and what a night we had. The playlist will be published very soon… Great dancers, an amazing vibe.. and good craic as well!!!
Playing Alex Fox’s “Galleguita” was brilliant… cutting the volume at the end of each musical paragraph to hear the dancers all stamp in time with their feet… Priceless!!

Alvin Lee’s “The Bluest Blues” is my track of the moment… I had so many people ask what it was… FABULOUS track… try it out… let me know what U think..

We’re delighted to be involved in Morris’ and Judith’s celebrations on Fri 20th… Some good tunage already been looked out.
