Bez has talked about his little "earner" DJing at an after party event for Oasis' homecoming reunion dates.
The Happy Mondays dancer and Madchester legend will be behind the decks at the New Century Hall after all five of the band's Heaton Park shows and he's admitted that he's "rinsing it".
Speaking to the Daily Star, the Step On icon said: “I’ve got a little earner out of Oasis going on tour. I’m rinsing it, it’s true.
"I’m DJ-ing at the after shows in Manchester if anybody wants to go, Nobody’s asked me to do the other ones yet but I can do.”
Bez, who also features in supergroup Mantra Of The Cosmos, also revealed his history with the band goes way back to the "scabby" small venues.
"I was at their very first gig they played with Noel at Middleton,” recalled the 61-year-old. “Every gig were scabby little clubs. Alan McGee came up with Jeff Barrett to Manchester and were looking for Manchester bands to sign.”

Bez comments come after another name close to home and the mother of the Oasis brothers matriarch Peggy Gallagher has broken her silence on the reunion.
As reported by Metro UK, speaking to Ireland's Mail on Sunday, she said: "I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn’t it always going to happen at some time or other?
"It was their choice, of course."
The 82-year-old went on: "Look you can’t force them to do things they don’t want to do. You just have to say, 'Get on with it' and I said that."
Though Peggy is happy her sons are no longer estranged, she admitted that she'll be happy once the dates are over, because the whole thing makes her "stressed".
The Mayo-born pensioner said: "It’s great, because nobody wants their kids falling out, do they?"
"I’ll be glad when it’s all just over because it makes me get too stressed," she added.
Despite her anxiety over the upcoming shows, and recent knee surgery, Mayo-born Peggy does have one stop on the tour she is looking forward to.
"I’m hoping to get to the Oasis concert in Dublin in August if I can hobble around," revealed Peggy. "That’s my plan anyway… it will be great.
"I know the Irish fans are thrilled about it. There’s great excitement in Ireland about the reunion tour and it will be lovely to see family there, also my sister Kathleen. I am really looking forward to the Dublin one."
