Podcasts: Industri Last Dance Volume 1 & 2

admin | July 11, 2011 - 5:05 pm

Recorded live at Industri on the night of it’s last dance, this is a live mix featuring Brent Nicholls & Paul Heron playing back to back.

Although there are some classic tunes on here giving a nod to the past there are also plenty of new material that looks to the future.

Industri was a social soiree that was born at Barcode Vauxhall as a collaboration between BCV & Brent Nicholls, Paul Heron & Minty. It essentially introduced the Soho styled soiree to the Vauxhall clubbing centre. Just before it’s third birthday Industri moved to Barcode Soho and reinvented itself in the heart of this thriving social enviroment.

When it was announced that Barcode Soho was to close, Industri too thought it was time to call it quits.

This podcasts is one of two parts that pays tribute to a night that created new friends, forged great relationships and gave London a unqiue soiree experience.

CLUBBING: INDUSTRI’S LAST DANCE

admin | June 30, 2011 - 12:00 pm

INDUSTRI came dancing into our lives and on Wednesday 29th June it went dancing back out. After Three and half years it closes, along with the long running venue Barcode Soho. Industri was the first to bring the soical soiree concept to Vauxhall. With love and respect we let it go t morph into something new (details soon).

Below is a collection of flyers, web virals and more that build a visual landscape of Industri over the years.

HISTORY:

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT HELPED MAKE ‘INDUSTRI’ ONE OF THE BEST SOCIAL SOIREE’S ON THE SCENE.

Industri was born from a collaboration between Kerry Chapman formerly of Barcode & the united talents of Minty, Brent Nicholls & Paul Heron. Strong photographic imagery by Chris Jepson saw Industri introduce the social soiree concept to Vauxhall. The idea basically was to have a house party in the venue…and Industri soon became the place for off duty DJs, horny hookers, Gogos with stars in thier eyes, clubbers, Vauxhall trash bags and more. It’s reputation of a place where anything could happend and most likely did was cemented.

After 2 years it moved to Soho where the social soiree format fitted perfectly. Industri reinvented itself again, however with the sale of Barcode Soho it was decided that Industri now had run it’s course and along with Barcode Soho would close.

While this may be the last dance for Industri…it certainly isn’t for Minty, Brent Nicholls & Paul Heron….

Industri: Voulez Vous?

admin | February 10, 2011 - 12:20 am

INDUSTRI is Barcode Soho’s own Wednesday night social soiree with Minty, Paul Heron & Myself. It has always been know for it’s at time controversial but stand out above the crowd flyer and artwork.

Chris Jepson was the first one to us behind the lens and created some artwork i was proud to be part of. a second photo shoot saw Paul & I in bed with Minty who wore nothing more than nipple tassels. This was followed by a ‘traditional Christmas flyer with more than a pervy twist. For  the pre party ot he called Hustla Industri we sported fetish wear which in retrospect would have made a great cover for my PIMPS, HOOKERS & GOGO podcast

A third photo shoot saw us walking the streets of Soho taking in various well now Soho spots to capture the essence of our new home as we relaunched the night at Barcode Soho. This shoot produced quite a few new images which are yet to be revealed…the first one being Minty, Paul and I standing in a puddle of water in a lane lined with sex shops, as Minty exposes here tight black sequined dress under her faux fur coat.

While these are official images for Industri, when searching for  old iconic album covers, I thought…wouldn’t it be funny to touch up these covers with an  Industri style as part of a web based viral market campaign.

With photoshop, a copy of ABBA’s Voulez Vous Album artwork and various images of Minty, Paul & Myself Industri Voulez Vous was born. It is meant to be a bit of fun, and more importantly, pay homage to my favourite icons of my youth. You can see the result below where Paul is Benny, I am Bjorn and Minty in two guises becoming AnniFrida & Agnetha.

Voulez Vous was ABBAs attempt at disco, producing some great tracks. The album track would have to be the biggest of the ‘disco tunes’ with that distinct guitar rift. Other tracks included ‘Does Your Mother Know’, one of my all time favourite ABBA tunes ‘As Good As New’, the beautiful ‘I Have A Dream’ and one of the groups biggest hits off that album ‘Chiquitita’.

I hope you enjoy looking at this artwork as much as I enjoyed putting it together…and see you t Industri…in the words of ABBA themselves on the track Voulez Vous:

“I know what you think
The girl means business so I’ll offer her a drink
Lookin’ mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushin’ through the crowd
I’m really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
Master of the scene
We’ve done it all before and now we’re back to get some more
You know what I mean…..”

So if you see Minty at Industri, London’s orignal ‘Dancing Queen’, she is ‘the business’ so offer her a drink.

“Ain’t no big decision (aha!)
You know what to do (aha!)
La question c’est voulez-vous”

Podcast: Industri 3rd Birthday

admin | January 26, 2011 - 9:44 pm

Six DJs, two hours, a whole lot of house and the one and only Minty marked Industri’s 3rd year; captured on this very special podcast. Along with Industri’s 3rd birthday the ever-fabulous host of the night Minty and fellow DJ Paul Heron’s celebrated their birthdays too. Did someone say Threesome?

DJs, scenestars, dragaratti and fashionistas all turned up at Industri’s 3rd Birthday to wish the social soiree all the best.

As a treat DJs Chris Brogan, Nick Evans, Alessandro Londra and Oliver M joined Paul Heron and myself behind the decks to mix up a unique podcast featuring eclectic genres from funky disco house to a more electronic tech sound….each DJ giving over his personal style to create one outstanding mix.

As with most of my live sessions I do not provide a track list.

The running order of DJs went Brent Nicholls (me), Paul Heron, Alessandro Londra, Nick Evans, Chris Brogan & Oliver M….can you spot the changeovers?

Podcast: INDUSTRI 2010- Gotta Move

admin | December 13, 2010 - 1:26 am

Launched in January 2008 at Barcode Vauxhall , Industri was intended to be a social soiree aimed at scene clubbers, gogos, off duty DJs and the like with Queen of the London scene Minty as host. Alongside Minty both myself, Brent Nicholls, and Paul Heron played exclusive back 2 back sets.

Industri 2010 Gotta Move

Industri 2010 Gotta Move

For me, Industri was the gig where I tested new tunes, played classics and tried out tracks that could have either crashed or ignited a main dance floor. Over the years Industri gained regulars, had its up and downs and hosted many memorable and at times wild parties. It launched DJs, Gogos and was the drop off spot for a lot of the Vauxhall clubbers. Of course over time, Industri has changed and after nearly 3 years we decided it need a bit of new direction….and that was to move to BCV sister club Barcode Soho and from a Thursday to a Wednesday night. That’s right, Soho is about to get a bit of Industri style.

In honour of this next chapter in the Industri story, I have compiled a 12 track podcast collecting together a mix of tracks across several genres that best represents my Industri sound. From NuFunk to Tech House flavours, from Latin touches to disco dipped…this is music for moving and grooving.

Like the opening track says:

“Gotta make a move to a, Town that’s right for me, Town to keep me movin’, Keep me groovin’ with some energy,
Well, I talk about it, Talk about it, Talk about it, Talk about it, Talk about, Talk about, Talk about movin,
Gotta move on, Gotta move on, Gotta move on,
Won’t you take me to….Industri……”

Industri Moves To Barcode Soho

admin | December 10, 2010 - 12:26 am

INDUSTRI IS MOVING. Starting nearly three years ago…Minty, Paul Heron and Myself teamed up with Barcode Vauxhall and created an amazing night. Sure it had it’s up and downs, but the three of us just worked together so well…and the flyers we created, I was told, became collector editions…though depending on how you interpret that, it could sound a little stalker-ish. LOL In any case, Industri is starting a new era and moving to BCV sister club Barcode Soho. Being in Soho, it will help rejuvenate Industri and giving us a more central, glamorous and social environment which of course is so Industri! Below the the press release….

Industri BCS 15.12.2010

Industri BCS 15.12.2010

PRESS RELEASE: After nearly three years of social soireeing on a Thursday night in Vauxhall the glamorous social soiree Industri is packing its bags and crossing the river to bring style, gossip, funky grooves and one of London’s most iconic hosts, Minty, to Barcode Soho. With her will be Industri’s own two Westend Boys DJs Brent Nicholls and Paul Heron who will be playing a special back to back set .

Industri is a social soiree where you can meet up with friends, have a drink, groove to two of London’s best loved DJs playing an eclectic mix of house tunes, catch up on gossip and just hang out and be fabulous with the host Minty who will make you feel more than welcomed. While Vauxhall was a great venue for Industri, the crew thought it was time for a change, to spread the love and bring some of that special Industri atmosphere into the Westend. Being in Soho you can expect to see more of the scene-stars mixing it up with off duty gogos, local characters, drinkers, clubbers, DJs who are enjoying a night off, hunks, hunkettes and all that makes Soho a vibrant and colourful place. Everybody is welcomes to the melting pot that is Industri which has contributed greatly to the reputation that is a place where anything can happen, and it usually does.

Come and join us for the Barcode Soho Industri relaunch form 9.30pm @ Barcode Soho Archer St W1, Soho.

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

Below is a collection of Industri Flyers…some official, others home made…chronicling our time at Barcode Vauxhall….

Barcode Soho- Saturday Night Viral

admin | September 29, 2010 - 1:55 pm

Barcode Soho is one of the clubs/bars I work at regularly on a Saturday night about once a month. My next gig is Saturday 16th October from 10-1 in the downstairs club. I generally play a mish mash of genres from NuFunk House, chunky house, some Latin and at times good remixes of more commercial tunes by the likes of Beyonce or even Lady GaGa.



The bar has a laid back vibe and attracts aa good mix of guys form the muscle bound to the more down to earth. Being in Soho you also get the secretaries and off work gay guys…there is often funny tales of off beat request for RnB in the middle of a house set; but I do not expect these pedestrian gays and their friends to know better it often ends up on my Facebook status early in the morning as a funny anecdote of yet another inappropriate request.

Saying that there is enough eye candy to even dissolve the most inappropriate requests.

Closing at 1am, the club/bar is the perfect place to start a night of clubbing or to have an early night where one can wake up on Sunday without a hangover. The music I play needs to reflect this balance between those who are out for a drink and those who are out to party, henceforth the eclectic mix of tunes from the underground to the overground that you will hear at this bar.

The video viral you see was made by Andrew Harris, one of London’s better graphic artists.

Live Sessions: Barcode Soho Feb 2010

admin | September 8, 2010 - 5:30 pm

LIVE SESSIONS: BARCODE SOHO FEB 2010

LIVE SESSIONS: BARCODE SOHO FEB 2010

BARCODE SOHO is an award winning Bar that recently was voted BEST BAR of 2009 in the www.SeenQueen.com Club Poll 2009. It attracts a wide cross section of gay Londoner from the hunky and hot gAylisters to the more down to earth type. The bar is perfect for a drink, a chat, a meet up and a cruise. I play down stairs in the ‘club section’ of the venue; and due to it’s 1am closing time it is the perfect pre-party to a longer night out or an early to bed club night. A BCS DJ set is usually from 10pm to close and this mix is a 1.5 hour excerpt from midway through the night. Due to the many gay tribes the place attracts the music I play will contain a variety of styles form funky house to tougher tribal/progressive house, from anthems to new releases and from commercial house to underground. The venue has a ‘down to earth’ reputation and I feel the music needs to meet the different reasons people go there- either for an ‘early club night’ a ‘cruise’ or ‘to socialize’. In that way the tunes I play embraces all those styles mentioned but remains accessible to a general clubbing crowd…nothing too deep, underground or obscure; and keeping this balance between ‘fun’ and ‘credible’ I think can be seen reflected in this live mix. From a sexy tribal cover of a Blondie classic, to a tougher mix of a Beyonce hit and from the progressive sounds of EDX onto the Latin fusions of Copyright…this is a night out at Barcode Soho (well, at least half the night). Enjoy!
