Summer’s End and Feelings of Gratitude

September 9, 2012 by

0

Not having posted for far, far too long I thought I’d break the ice with a roundup of the summer. It’s been remarkable. Music keeps on giving me so much, and I’m filled with gratitude for so many great artists bringing such joy into the world and sharing it with us all. And in the […]

Crushing on… Joris Voorn

March 29, 2012 by

0

My DJ crush on Joris Voorn started last summer. It was Ibiza, at the closing parties, and it was the last “We Love Sundays at Space” for the year. And Joris Voorn had the last set on the last stage. Of course, the legendary Terrace. Joris had been smashing it hard for the previous few […]

@ T in the Park – Part Three

July 10, 2011 by

0

Last day of T. Cold beer for breakfast. Again. And we got the very, very last of the sunshine, before torrential rain washed the entire place out, making us scurry from tent to tent, checking out: First: The Naked and Famous. All the way from New Zealand, easily the best band T-shirt of the festival, and […]

@ T in the Park – Part Two

July 9, 2011 by

So day two of T was fairly incredible. The sun came out. The grass was dry. Boots off, shirts off, and Fun Lovin’ Criminals providing the soundtrack to a perfect start to the day. I should at this point perhaps mention the “Be Chilled” service that T in the Park offers you to pre-order beer and […]

@ T in the Park – Part One

July 8, 2011 by

  If you’ve not been before… you’re probably not Scottish and under 25. Middle England has Glastonbury, and young Scots (like, all of them!) have T in the Park. I spent nearly all day getting up to Scotland, and to be honest I was wondering whether it would be worth the trip. The weatherman (and […]

The Chemical Brothers @ Wireless, Hyde Park

July 2, 2011 by

0

  So a good friend needed a party organising: it so happened that the Chems were playing at Wireless in Hyde Park. Job done. If you’ve ever seen The Chemical Brothers before, you will know what their live show consists of: clean driving audio with live, tweaked mixes of their singles (of which there must, […]

Four Tet and Thom Yorke @ Plastic People

June 11, 2011 by

0

No plans were in place to attend this night last night. Hanging out with one of Radiohead’s biggest fans – and luckily being at the bar across the street when we heard the news that Thom Yorke was rumored to be doing a DJ set there – meant a quick leap over to the good […]

Chocolate City @ Lux Frágil, Lisbon

May 28, 2011 by

1

  Lux Frágil wins the award for the most annoyingly difficult website to navigate and use, ever. However, it also wins the award for most interestingly decorated club I’ve been in for a long time. Portugal might be in economic meltdown, but this club is looking glamorous, shiny, and like a lot of fun – […]

Beardyman @ The Electric Ballroom

March 9, 2011 by

0

  So, Beardyman. Silly name… ridiculous sense of humour that you either get or you don’t… and yet the sounds coming out of this man’s mouth literally have to be heard to be believed. If you’ve never heard a good beatboxer before, you should check out Beardyman. “All that noise coming out of the oversized […]

  For those of you who are into Hip Hop and want to check out your music spotting skills, you could do worse than pop down to The History of Hip Hop being hosted by Mixcloud at The Big Chill just off Brick Lane in London in a couple of weeks on the 26th of […]
