In July a DJ called Whole Sick got in touch in with me and KMD about doing a mix for Trash and we were like ‘yes please’. Summer kicked in, we got rained on at festivals, while Whole Sick - who’s real name is Justin Reid-Simm - relaxed in Italy, then destroyed mind, body and soul in Ibiza. Oh yeah.

Not heard of Whole Sick? This oh-so-young DJ is the latest resident at the Kool Kids Klub in Southend and also holds a residency at the Bigger Than Barry night in Nottingham.

He’s managed to squeeze the billing with an impressive list of artists including: Boy 8-Bit, Heavyfeet, Andy George, Urchins, Kissy Sell Out, Sinden, Drop the Lime, DIM, Mumdance, L-Vis 1990, Foamo, Fake Blood, Annie Mac, Kazey, Kidda, Herve, Oneman, Detboi, Mememe, Tomb Crew, AC Slater and Hostage.

Makes you drool, doesn’t it? And when not djing, Whole Sick is a nice young man who goes to uni, which is sweet.

You can catch him dj in Southend, Nottingham or London.

To commemorate Guy Fawkes Night (the English version of Fourth of July), Whole Sick has knocked out this sweet little mix just to warm us up. Think burning effigies, fireworks, sparklers and skyscraper pyres.

I did notice that Whole Sick’s mix has three of the same tracks as the Foamo mix Lovestar just posted (Mystery Jets, Evil Nine, A.C Slater), which is a coincidence - I know it may seem like sloppy seconds, but it’s a boon for the lovers out there.

We don’t hear all too much coming out of what is said to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Prague, so it’s nice to know that they’ve got someone like Tvyks keeping everyone up with the latest noise and his well known parties!!

“Tvyks has become a landmark to whoever is interested in the energy rush arriving from the east. DJ, producer, party organiser, radio speaker, graphic designer, this exciting young Czech man wears many hats placing his affined knowledge of the electronic scene at the service of his passion for music.

Co-founder of the Plastique at Radost FX club and Boom Bang Baby! Prague’s nights, that are so wild the bobbies have to get out of bed! Thanks to the extremely warm public the unique atmosphere Tvyks parties have already been the heaven for bands and live acts such as D.I.M., Mixhell, Headman, Rex The Dog, Lo-Fi-Fnk, Adam Sky, Bunny Lake, Terry Poison, Naive New Beaters, Vicarious Bliss, Jo Jo De Freq, Franz & Shape or Namosh.

His collaboration with Swedish producer Hakan Lidbo resulted in a 12 inch released in spring 2002 by the world’s famous Paperecordings under name “Norr/Vychod”.

Aside from French Connection on Radio 1, Tvyks’ latest endeavour is his current collaboration with the Czech singer & musician Gregory Finn. Their Re:ply! project has already led to a single “How Much Is The Milk?” and several remixes for Cassius, Dead Kids, The Kilians and Midi Lidi.

Finally as a DJ, Tvyks benefits from a rich 15 years experience behind the decks of some of the finest clubs across Europe. Digging from multiple sources he selects the ultimate sounds within the trends in order to provide the audience with fresh and sharp mixes. His inspiration varies from house to electro, passing through disco punk, batty bass to acid house, grime and baile funk leading to a powerful head banging feet thumping mix. This is the maximum sound”.
