What's the guy up to these days?
Is he still producing?
Is he still getting bookings/running events (do's)?

Yes to all of those.
He still doing them all but just not very regularly. There's very limited production coming from him which is a real shame because he has been a consistent producer since the beginning of time. He released a track lately with Re-Con called Superhuman which is good.
The events with HTID have been few and far between of late. They're doing HTID USA and hosting a couple of rooms at the 24 hour Rave Experience, but apart from that nothing has been announced. I think Ravers Reunited saturating the scene has had a lot to do with this.
He has the odd bookings but again not as regularly as in the past. A lot of classic sets. But that's the scene all ocer at the moment. I think he even manages to turn up to the odd booking on time (sometimes).

I bought this t'other day along with Did Geri Do It, that's what made me pose the questions. I suppose what you said about Ravers fills some of the void.

Yes a bit gutted he seems to have taken a back seat recently, he's nowhere near as proactive in the scene as he used to be. He's no longer anything to do with the running of Htid which maybe part explains why they're not such a force anymore. I think he has other interests outside of hardcore which are perhaps taking up most of his time. He doesn't even really bother with social media anymore and pays an agency to run his fb page for him.
I'm disappointed at the lack of activity since he joined Futureworld. Think that's been over a year now and we've been spoiled with the grand total of two hixxy collabs.

Hixxy is HTID after all so will eventually be back, nothing wrong with taking a backseat and a bit of time out

I read somewhere that he was having major surgery soon, probably something to do with his weight i would imagine, think thats why hes not been about much recently.

I were gonna say, it's pretty obvious his weight has ballooned, over the last few years especially, it could well be causing health problems he might be prioritising.
Hopefully we will see and hear more from him soon!

As much as he needs it, I actually hope it's not gastric bypass or lap band surgery. People look absolutely ghoulish right after getting it and losing the weight. Such an unnatural way of losing weight he needs to be smart about it and eat properly and get some exercise.
And yea his health has been an issue for some time. He had to bail out because of his health on most of his shows at HTID ITS 2012. He only showed up for the Water Park party and then went back to the UK.
Him doing 3 shows in a row at Raver's Ibiza could be risky, but hopefully for the ravers everything goes as planned.
