Maruvia - The internet home of DJ Maru

Thanks to everyone who came along to see me in 2005, hope to see you again this year.

Last year was very successful from getting an agent to starting two new residencies. Fingers crossed, this year will be even better.

I'm afraid I must announce that I have parted company with Revolution after a few months as resident DJ. Having built up what is regarded as a successful night Revolution are now hiring guest DJs to develop the night further.

I will still be DJing at Come Home and Upfront.

Thanks to all who came along,

Maru

John Peel Day in Barnsley was a really good night. There was a decent crowd and a few up-and-coming bands. I played in the main room and back room for a few hours. Thanks to DJ Fatty Boy for organising the whole bash. Unfortunately there's no set list and I can't even improvise as it's a little hazy.

Last night at Come Home turned out okay despite some techy problems with one of the CD decks which led to me playing on one deck for half the night! We managed to work around it though and it got quite good by the end.

Upfront will return to the Hancock on 29th October for a Hallow'een special - a couple of spooky tracks thrown in for good measure.
