Proton Radio

I’m live on Proton Radio this Wednesday from 7am – 9am GMT. I’ve got the first hour for some deep, melodic tech house, while the 2nd hour has a very special guest mix from Layo (of Layo and Bushwacker fame). The mix is full on tech house from Layo live at The End in London a few weeks ago. It’s absolutely phat.

Catch the “Coordinated” show live on Proton Radio when it airs, or listen to repeats onDemand.

Energy at Karma Lounge

I’m playing down at Karma Lounge in Austin this Wednesday for Energy.

Karma is an awesome place with some badass sound systems and cheap drinks. I went down on a Wednesday a few weeks ago to check it out and this place is busy – I thought it would be dead but there’s a real loyal following on a Wednesday and some top notch DJs. I highly recommend you pop along and check it out.

I’m spinning between 10.30pm – 11.30pm, so instead of staying in and watching repeats on television come and support me and check out your local Austin music scene 🙂

Homewerk

I’m playing down at Black and Tan in Austin this Thursday for Homewerk.

Black and Tan has just been voted Austin’s best new club by the Austin Chronicle so now is the perfect time to come and check it out. It’s large enough to be big yet still keep some intimacy and it has a phenomenal sound system and some kick ass drink specials.

I’m spinning between 12am-1am, so if you’re in the 6th Street Area and fancy a good time, come and pop by.

Will’s Bloody Birthday

As I’m rapidly approaching yet another year older I’ve decided to throw a party (no surprise there then). Those who have attended various other of my shebangs know what to expect!

Anyway, this won’t be just a fancy dress night, it’s one of the only real Halloween parties in Austin. Taking place at the fabulous One2One bar, we’ll be movin’ and groovin’ on the roof top terrace in full sight of the moon. Although not a necessity, you are encouraged to come dressed as anything blood thirsty – Vampires, Warewolves, Zombies, Ghosts, will make the evening more entertianing. All are welcome.

The soundtrack for the night will be provided by some of the top jocks on the Austin party scene, incl Rez, Los Beats, myself and more guests tbc taking you on a journey all the way from deep house to techno and everywhere in between

The event is free to enter, so all I ask is you spread the word and turn up to this night of mayhem prepared to be chilled and thrilled, and..to party all night long (well, ’till closing time at least).

Austin Boat Party September 2008

Will’s Mad Hatter Boat Party

I’m pleased to announce that there will be a suitably ridiculous event on Saturday 6th September 2008. Will’s Mad Hatter Boat Party: featuring a floor of music playing the best in house, plus a large sundeck and lots of swimming.

On the dance deck, I’ll be joined by local boys Rez, Joshua Triplet & special guest, Andrew Parsons spinning some rolling basslines and funked up beats to get you moving in the water. I also hope to confirm some very extra special guests shortly.

I think you’ll agree, what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening than cruising around Lake Travis, drinking some Mead and enjoying the company of friends. To add a touch of mayhem to the event you are encouraged to turn in with your finest crazy hat.
