UK house DJ Alan Thompson is emigrating to Australia next month, DJ magazine revealed this week, completing long terms plans he initiated 5 years ago.

The leading British jock first chatted to Skrufff about his plans two years ago, declaring 'Australia's one of my favourite countries in the world without a doubt. I love the lifestyle, the outdoors, the people… it's just great. Any opportunity I get to go over there, I'll grab it."

According to DJ mag he plans to continue his DJing career down under, though two years back, he stressed his desire for step off the treadmill

"As you get older though, your expectation of life changes and you need a life change," said Alan.

"I've lived in the fast lane for so long now, that I need to go down a gear. In fact I need to go to reverse. I need more of an outdoor lifestyle, with not so much pressure and emphasis on material things."
