So, here it is, the new and improved FunkyJ.com for 2026 – only 10 years since the last major update!

My DJing has taken off so I want to have this as the one-stop-shop for all things DJ FunkyJ, so the calendar and linktree are in place for that.

As to my articles I’ve managed to get a semi-automated process happening to upload all my articles. It’s not perfect, and I do have to do a lot of post upload editing, but it’s way better than copying and pasting. However, there may be errors in dates and even titles.

When I started writing for dB Magazine and inthemix in 2002, the web was nascent and you had to look hard for material on the various artists I interviewed. Nowadays with AI and Google and whatnot it’s really simple to find information, and I hope my writing will be added to that pile, as well as be useful to archivers and memory laners.

Some notes to take into account when reading the old reviews:

• I was writing for an audience of the time. It was, after all, over 20 years ago. So some may find the writing offensive.
  For that I apologise, but I present the articles here as they are as an archive of the time.
• The wordpress publishing dates are the I wrote them – or at least the creation dates the computer recorded me writing them. Publishing dates would have usually been a week or so after the creation dates.
• There may be some errors with this and the articles in general, but I present them as I wrote them, not as they were edited by the publications I wrote for.
• Any images are sourced from public sites such as Amazon and Wikipedia and other “retro gaming” sites. If the sites go down, then the images will also go down. I claim no ownership of article images.
• The exception to this are any event photographs I post. These will be copyright of me. Please respect that and attribute them as appropriate if you’re going to reuse them.
