As promised a few weeks back we're delighted to present the second guest mix from Friend of Feel Up Simon ‘Freaked’ Brant.

Simon was taken from us close to his 34th birthday in 2006 after losing a short, tough battle against Leukaemia. A Northampton native, Simon moved to London and worked as a web designer, becoming an integral part of the BBC online development team which allowed him to combine his love of online media with his passion for music. Alongside this Simon also wrote a monthly column – ‘Freaked’ – in music magazine Straight No Chaser and made frequent DJ appearances, amassing not only hundreds of amazing records but also an army of devoted fans and friends – if you were into your music and spent any time in Shoreditch in the early days chances are you’d have bumped into him.

Simon was a keen cyclist and for the past few years a group of his closest friends have been honouring his memory by riding the 26 miles of the London Bikeathon - raising money for Leukaemia Research, the only national charity dedicated exclusively to funding research throughout the UK into the causes, treatments and cures of all blood cancers.

Thank you
