Late breaking news is that as of October 2005 , AJ's Ananda Shankar compilation is being released by EMI India in November and he's been asked to do a Best Of Transatlantic CD comp with Pete Lawrence of Big Chill fame.... Time to book now

AJ plays a freestyle selection of the best in dance and listening grooves but majors on world music, electronica, fusion, dub and beats.

The playlist varies to suit the occasion. AJ is a Big Chill resident DJ, and stage MC and sometime DJ for WOMAD so the records suit both ends of this spectrum and everything in between.

Aj's work was recognised in the mid-eighties when he was asked to produce and host the first ever world-music show on provincial radio, "Worldwide", on Bristol's GWR. Around this time he was commissioned to make the pre-show tapes for Peter Gabriel's Secret World tour and he also co-programmed a number of WOMAD festivals.

The late eighties and early nineties AJ toured (with new partner Karlo) the successful Yu Fe Danse Sound System playing at Glastonbury, WOMAD and Bracknell festivals and at many benefit and club nights across the UK, including a monthly sell-out residency, "Club Sandino" at Bath's Moles Club. International touring followed with shows in Barcelona, Gran Canaria, Marseilles, Greece, Paris and Sicily. AJ also became a resident DJ at The Big Chill where he has played sets at all of the festivals in the UK (including the legendary Black Mountain Gala) and at all three Greek Island extravaganzas in Naxos

AJ continues to play out at clubs, festivals and parties and has over the last couple of years been playing his tunes at Fest Noz in Leicester, The Big Chill at Eastnor, Summer Sundae , Off the Tracks, for Beverley Folk Festival and at The Spitz in London.
