LONG OVERDUE POST!! 👇🏾 Deciding to pack the calendar with 6 events while still freelancing and managing was a wild decision but that’s also the whole point in a core principle of mine — never wait for permission! If you want space somewhere, you make it. 💥‼️ We kicked things off at @jumbipeckham with Casa Mundo. The place was packed wall-to-wall all night + we had the legend himself @dj_travella_mr_mixondo bless us with a Singeli special. If you told me after Fête de la Musique that this is how the season would begin, I might not have believed you. 🗣️ The next week, it was straight into working with another legend. When I first dug into Brazil’s scene, @peroli was one of the first names that stood out. Hosting her in the UK alongside @skeenldn and @the0rangeroom was an honour — and another step in opening doors for international DJs, not just to play but to build real community. 🇧🇷🤝🏾🇬🇧 Then it was our Manchester Series. Two weekends of live music, fashion, and local talent. For me, it felt like a homecoming. I hadn’t thrown something like this in Manchester since the Sauce Network days before COVID, and it felt good to bring that energy back. But TRUST — it was a grind. Late nights, early mornings, transporting crates of drinks across the country. Hustle in overdrive but we stepped up and got the job done! And then the big one: Pre-Carnival. The same venue where we threw the first-ever Xotic party, only this time — sold out, max capacity. Easily one of the livest pre-carnival nights in the city. It came with all the stress and creative differences you expect — but I wouldn’t have done it with anyone else. As we approach one year of @xotic.global , I keep thinking back to how it all started. If this summer proved anything, it’s that the vision is only getting sharper — and it’s only going to get bigger. @xotic.global isn’t just about throwing parties. Sometimes it’s playing the agent role, guiding new talent into their first big moments. Sometimes it’s about future infrastructure, not just stamping our name. It’s all part of the mission: to create space and pathways for diaspora communities around the world

@jnanetamsna — the garden of paradise. And that’s exactly what it was. The vision of @meryanneinspired , a true entrepreneur. With her husband, a botanist and pioneer in regenerative farming, they transformed barren land into an Oasis, rich in culture, intentional design, and world-class hospitality. What started with a few palm trees became one of Morocco’s most iconic stays — built on a deadline most would avoid, with a level of construction rarely seen. That’s what ownership looks like: showing up, making it happen, and setting the standard. The space has welcomed royalty, artists, thinkers… and now, us. Our shared Caribbean roots grew into a genuine connection, that still inspires as we continue our journeys to new destinations. So If I had to put our experience here into one word? Sanctuary. #jnanetamsna #morocco #director #xoticglobal

We’re getting a mission complete, no matter the obstacles ☠️⛹🏾🛫 🧿 @tsunamy___ @sasukthy @xotic.global #xotic #global

TOO MANY MOMENTS!! 🫶🏽🇧🇷🌎 Impossible to summarise in one post, so you’re just going to have to wait for the DOCUMENTARY 🫡 #brazil #tour #xotic

@cyberdog x Sorzano; had the hellcat moving like the Batmobile 🦇🐊 #xotic @xotic.global 📸 @bethlatrechee 🎥 @kyshot_this 💻 @gowee_

Trying to force all your highlights into a one post just hasn’t worked for me, as the last 3 months, have felt like 12…SO! One by one it is 🫡🍾✨ A few weeks ago, we brought 300 people together for a private screening of Breaking Barriers, the powerful story of Paula Dunn MBE, Team GB’s Olympic head coach, told through the eyes of her son, Kane ( @eyesonthepiesmgmt ). It wasn’t easy, but with relentless drive, refusal to fail and constant communication of ideas within the team made it happen. We do these events off our own back with no major investors, so to see the support and to have everyone tearing up throughout the screening was a reward that money couldn’t have bought. With our next documentary already in production, 2025 is looking strong from day 1 and we start as we mean to go on!!!

Ibr it’s been a blur again, but! Vibrations have been high 🪩🕺🏾, October 24th we go again! @xotic.global Big love to everyone sharing and supporting Life Of The Bludcleet Party 🎉 #lifeoftheparty

Last week was intense, but there’s method to the madness trust me 😂🫢🫨 Had an amazing experience at @bailetrama London, if you’ve not gone yet you’re in for a ride fr 🕺🏾🪩 @tsunamy___ shut down her Brighton set as per usual, then headed straaaaight back to London 🌊🛫 We launched the very first Streetwear session in Manchester, with more to come before the end of this year! @skeenldn @thestreetwearstudiouk @eyesonthepiesmgmt @sooshiagency @nellspizza Some how ended up in Edinburgh to close it all off but we’re back outside again this week I’m sure 🫡 Work Hard and Play hard, and sleep somewhere in between 😂😂😂

Bout time to get back to some music!!! 🫡🚷❗️#newmusic #ukrap #detroit

The whole years been non stop already but this week especially seems to have flown by. Thank you to everyone that wished me a happy birthday and those that made the journey to come and spend time with me and mine, it was massively appreciated 🫶🏾❤️ Only goal I had for myself was to do something I could be proud of by the time I’m 30. I’m 28 now, we wrote, self edited and self published 2 books in a year, that are already out there helping people. We did the biggest partnership in commercial space HISTORY, with Maybach and Space Perspective. Started a record label with some amazingly talented artist, with more joining the roster as we speak. I’ve watch my team and the people around my elevate by leaps and bounds, so I think my goal of being proud of actions has been over achieved by leaps and bounds fr. It’s just the start fr, so excuse me if I go back into hermit mode to get this work cracking again 🫡❤️🫶🏾
