This weekend has been relatively quiet (and a little wet) so I’ve had a bit of time to tell you where I’ve been. First, two weeks ago was yet another bank holiday weekend and the Sunday was set as the big night since Saturday was reserved for watching a fat Manc get decked by a cheeky chappy Phillipino. Anyways Secretsundaze started their summer of events with their opening party on the THAT terrace out in the middle of nowhere (well no where in Greenwich with no Jubilee line). It was touch and go whether the weather was going to be good but Mother Nature for once pulled through and the terrace was to be blessed with sunshine all afternoon. Sunshine, drinking and outdoor dancing is just a great combination. The crowd were really up for it and despite some pretty shaky mixing, apparently due to some technical difficulties, the party still went off. Brothers Vibe did a great job of changing up gears from evening to night whilst Melon was knocking out some great grooving house beats. Move D early on was good but maybe a little too deep for my liking. Being tired and hungover whilst hearing some laid back deep grooves can make one a little sleepy however it did go well with the sunshine and glamorous crowd. So despite the awkward location and shaky mixing Secretsundaze was in my eyes a success. › Continue reading
May The Rave Be With You!
Friday, April 24th, 2009 | Event Preview | No Comments
I love this stretch of April to May. There’s a nice series of bank holidays which firstly equates to four day weeks or long weekends, but secondly and most importantly it means so many great rave up opportunities. You might have only just flushed the last bank holiday weekend out of your system, but here it is again, another extended weekend in our midst.
So what are the options for the May day rave up?
Saturday has some nice options with Excuse The Mess being top of the pile. They’ve got My My live along with the always excellent Matthew Styles in room 1. Then in room 2 Ralf Kollman takes the spotlight to entertain along with Shane Watcha.
The first part of Eastern Electrics also kicks off on the Saturday too. They’ll be vibing with some dub-tastic sounds with Dublime who have brought in Brendon Moeller. Room 2 has been taken over by the folks that brought you the Bloc Weekender. Their room is looking particularly sharp with the likes of Metro Area, Appleblim and Zomby. Then the third and final room is hosted by the Man Make Music guys. They’ve got the West Coast house head and Buzzin Fly aficionado Justin Martin.
Tickets are still available for both, so get Excuse the Mess tickets here and Eastern Electrics tickets here.
Jennifer Cardini & Shonky – Tuesday Paranoia EP Review
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008 | Single Review | No Comments
After their seminal Mlle Caro remix of Far Away, the French duo return with their own EP Tuesday Paranoia on Crosstown Rebels. The title track is a dark and twisted mental workout. The old skool drum programming brings in classic elements of acid house whilst the bassline rumbles away in the sub bass. The track switches between the eerie sirens and the bright string washes hanging you in a state of confusion as you decide whether the tracks is dark and brooding or bright and colourful. Come Down to Earth the second track on this release is sure to be a winner with most people. Reminiscent of their Far Away remix, Come Down to Earth is a slow ominous track. Life support machine blips echo through the track as the sawtooth bassline vibrates the low end. The track takes its time in developing adding in new elements ever so slowly. Sure to be a hit for the summer.
Jamie Jones remixes the title track and comes out with an evil tech house monster ready to eat your mind. He cuts and stutters the vocal and uses the sirens sparingly for a proper dancefloor shaker. One of his best yet. Great dark tracks to lose your mind to.
Jennifer Cardini & Shonky Tuesday Paranoia is out now on Beatport
