Island Vibes, Family Vibration, Hometown Sound

July 28, 2025

Just Winding Up

Snip created group "Island Vibez"

Roll up, roll up. Chuck whatever you want in here. Tunes, pics, vids, words. I'll turn it into a wordscape when I'm back...

This is that wordscape. Unfortunately minus some great pics because my phone went kaput, but its still a fun little glimpse at this magical festival.

Big love going out to the Hometown Posse and every lovely human who came to the mystical Island of Arran and helped to create the Island Vibes. The most chilled weekend you can ever imagine. Nobody leaves a stranger!

And the ✨s. Ally knows.

What a documentary it was too. The Hometown Posse led by James are pushing a really powerful message out into the world. What a treat it was to see this behind the scenes footage, deepening further my appreciation of this celebration that I felt fortunate to be a part of.

Appreciate the 8 scoop stack. So much love and care goes into this bad boy, and in return it blasts out positive vibrations and leaves people with big grins on their faces.

Samedia shebeen 15th birthday party at the mash club in August. Be there or be square

Strong recommendation from Anna I believe after a deep chat on the unfolding genocide in Gaza. Abby Martin and Ash Sarkar Novara media. Powerful voices on Palestine. Interested to dive in.

Shout out to all the Original Nuttahs out there.

Welcome the Callums to the vibes. These two boyos put in shifts to make sure we were never too long without a trusty Callum by our side. Great lads.

The gang by the fire minus Jodi Wan Kenobi.

Ooops, I blew the mind out of my phone somehow. Maybe it was getting sick of me.

I do hope I can ressucitate it cause I have some great Saturday night content and tunes on there. Mostly of the Bossman Danny dropping Beats and Boppers all night long. You put in a shift mate, big respect.

Also, send us that psy trance you dropped. That was mint.

Gonna export this chat now for the wordscape

Safe travels home

What a fackin weekend

Peace x

🎶 Tune Catcher Productions

Oh and YouTube for Sen of course.

This last bit is an experiment with how to add my shazams into this wordscape.

First night was a pure Hometown Session from James and Seb. 5 hours selecting and spinning dubplates from a wicked looking collection of 45's.

Seb In Session

Here is a few I managed to snag:

Then there was the best happy birthday tune you could possibly imagine. Seb, happy birthday me friend! Thanks for putting on such a freakin good party. One more year pon dem. Give thanks fi life. Next year we doin it again.

Seb Selectin from a Boss Selection

This big big tune was dropped by James and the Hometown Posse in the morning.

This one was a treat. Lured me up to the fire when I was intending to go to bed. Dropped by Anna. RIP Ozzy.

These three were dropped at Mara's. Even outside the festival there are tunes for days.

Pretty sure these three were dropped by Nikki, what a legend, showing us what the sound system can do to other musical vibrations.

Not sure about these two. Caught around the place somewhere.

Then, my phone blew out its brain. But I remember this one from big bad Danny on the decks. Jodi Wan Kenobi got the moves for this tune. She reddy fe de bump 'N' grind. Tune!

I will close with this one. What a tune. What a treat to hear it dropped over the mighty Hometown Promotion Sound System. What a treat to be at the Hometown Promotion Summer Party. Staff Party lol.

Big Love for the Hometown Posse

They were playing for themselves and loving every single minute of it.

YOU GOTTA FIGHT. FOR THE RIGHT. TO PARTY.

What a weekend!

It was truly wonderful to experience and share in the Hometown energy over the weekend.

Thank you x
