A versatile guy, then.

Episode 1

Episode 2

Episode 3 is on the way. For more info head for the DJ Switch website, his Facebook Page and he’s put a couple of mixes on Mixcloud.

Incidentally, Chris Bates is doing a good job of raising money for My Side of School, a documentary about the division between young and old in the small town of Stolac in Bosnia & Herzegovina. There are just a few days left to contribute, so have a look.
