DJ Fresh has announced this morning he is to quit touring from 2017, he’s recently had treatment for cancer in a previous post saying “So I had my radiation treatment on Monday, and after molecular imaging scans, am happy to say I got an all clear after my cancer treatment.”

You can read today’s full statement below:

To everyone who has experienced my music, I’ve decided to come off the road altogether after this year (Jan next year to be exact)

If you want to see me.. Come out to one of the gigs between now and then, It’s time to begin the next chapter of my life.. And it’s way overdue. Need to think about my health and life

Thanks so much everyone who has bought my records and supported my vision. Without you guys the music wouldn’t exist.

I cannot continue to be part of this industry.. I hate everything about it. It’s fake, soul destroying and promotes everything BUT experimentation and heartfelt emotion (which is what music means to me)

Long live Bad Company. I just want to add that this is in no way related to my record label/labels who have all been fantastic (there are some good ones out there!)… Maybe one day I’ll write a book, and explain it then ?

Grahame Farmer

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
