exit the BBC.. enter the future..
on September 8th>>9th i will broadcast my final Experimental show at BBC Radio1.. with my very special guests Burial + Kode 9..
u will continue to DJ live all over the world..
i will be curating stages for Sonar Festival in Barcelona in June 2011 and also Bloc Festival in the UK in March 2011..
i’ve been helping Darren Aronofsky source music for his new film Black Swan.. and i’m delighted that Al Tourettes, Sepalcure, Jakes and Kavsrave now feature on Clint Mansell’s soundtrack..
Black Swan trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jaI1XOB-bs
i hope to build on this film work and continue to develop my own ghetto road movies at: http://www.youtube.com/maryannehobbstv
i’m gonna write my autobiography..
and of course one day i hope to become a motorcycle stunt girl for Quentin Tarantino
on October 4th i take up my new role working at Sheffield University Union Of Students as Media Development Coordinator...
it's a wonderful place.. great people, energy, spirit and resources..
it's not an academic job.. much more a practical one.. mentoring and guiding the students involved with the radio station, the TV station and the newspaper.. helping the next generation make the transition into industry.. and hopefully inspiring them to become challenging, intelligent and pioneering..
i'll always be a broadcaster.. radio is such a great passion for me.. but right now, i’m ready to seize this new challenge out on the causeway of life..

congratulations and good luck to Benji B who takes the helm of the show on October 14th..
If i missed you, i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to.. and i hope you will already know how much you mean to me…
"Like a wind crying through the universe, time carries with it the names and deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we were, and all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way but for a brief moment...
