Well, it wouldn't be right or proper to post a blog this week without saying a few words. There's so much to be excited about at the moment and, as is often the case when a year closes out, change is in the air. It's all good change too. The kind of change that has to be considered an upgrade on what has gone before.

This week's podcast, in distinct contrast to last week's, isn't even that good an episode. But that just emphasises the need for adjustment.

Since the summer, TPHP has really been jolted out of its weekly routine. Since it went weekly in early 2013, I've been pretty good at keeping things on track but some things have been happening of late that have turned my attention elsewhere.

I said in last year's review blog that my target for 2014 was to do 10 public gigs. And by the time the year closes, I will have succeeded in doing that. (Which I'm so happy about, I must say.) 

But with those gigs have come a lot of learning - particularly after Ibiza. It's led me to re-evaluate a lot of things. As well as embarking on a huge project to put my music collection through Rekordbox, I'm now feeling the need to channel my practice time into other areas - rather than following the same format week-in-week out. Doing my podcast bi-weekly and then weekly has served me well. But I've reached the stage now where its not helping me get any better.

Meanwhile, my involvement with the night I'm resident for - Transcend - continues to grow. On the 20th of December, Transcend launches in London for the first time. With another headliner still to announce next week, we already welcome James Dymond to celebrate what we hope will be a long and successful period of Transcend doing what it does best in the capital.

I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Ben, Karl, Alex and Chris on Transcend so far. And now that it is on the brink of moving to London, my desire to get involved and help push it on increases with every passing day.

To make time for this, TPHP is going to move to being a monthly podcast as of January. This blog will be almost completely retired, That Was 2014 being the last yearly review in this format. I will also be bringing TPHP under Transcend's umbrella and pushing it as an official sister podcast to Transcend's own - A Higher State.

Basically - all you need to know is - expect to see plenty from me in 2015, flying the Transcend flag in London at all times! See you on the 20th!
