Podcasts: LoveChildOne- Feels Like Fire Mix.

admin | November 13, 2010 - 3:48 pm

LoveChild celebrates it’s 1st Birthday at fire. Born nearly two years ago, I was there at the beginning and this is my 1st birthday tribute to the club.

LoveChild One: Feels Like Fire Mix

LoveChild One: Feels Like Fire Mix

Called LOVECHILD-ONE: THE FEELS LIKE FIRE MIX…I was tempted to compile a ‘greatest hits’ collection but instead went for the the future with a collection of funky flavoured nuFunk, tech dipped and disco inspired tunes…yes, funky house it seems has come around again, and a club like LoveChild inspired by sexiness and glamour goes hand in hand with this more upmarket and inspired sound. Remixes of old tracks meet turbo charged new tunes…dirty bass lines, familiar samples, sexy beats and pure glamour dripped disco flavoured tunes merge to create a mix that will make you not just move, but groove.

Happy Birthday to LoveChild!

Review: The Week

admin | October 9, 2010 - 12:14 pm

The questions is should I really be reviewing the clubs I work at…and the answer, why not…who else better than someone on the inside!

The Week

The Week

THE WEEK, direct from Brazil, saw FIRE return to form with a packed and up for it crowd out for one thing…fun! It was a rather mixed crowd in terms of quality…from Hot Brazilian studs to the dosed up Vauxhall trash…but it all seemed to merge perfectly into a crowd all out for a good time. Steve Pitron & Mikey D mixed a turbo charged sounding but very appropriate mix for the main room which looked absolutely stunning with pieces of art hanging from the ceiling, lasers , fantastic led wall (very Oliver M aka when he was in control of Matinee)…yes, the new main room at Fire was looking stunning!

The gogos were very good too, especially Mr White Shorts (see video), Edson Costa (who is usually behind the camera and not in front of it) and Rikardo Machio (search him on FaceBook). There was another one who was a little too girly and posy for my taste…at least these were men gogos being men and not dressed in ridiculous high heels and girly costumes which seem to infiltrate the London scene as response to the Spanish invasion of clubs. Bring back the hunks!

My room, the Latin Lounge as I called it, rocked longer than expected to a mix of percussive, progressive and tribal house…in the very NO AMERICAN way….but the call of Beyond sonn empties most of Fire by 5.30ish in the morning. Djing from 3.00 meant I missed the Brazilian carnival show which was typical of such show..tits, feather and hot near naked muscle boys!

The Mirror Arch, usually the centre of attention suffered at the hands of super star DJs Pitron/Mikey D on the main floor and the new lighting/laser/layout…but it still had its dedicated followers.

Disco Matt was in full form on the dance floor reviewing and grooving….you can  read his review too at http://discomatt.blogspot.com

Anyway..enough of words…check out my video I made for SeenQueen.com below or see the pics at http://seenqueen.com/web/2010/10/club-pix-the-week-18-9-2010/

LONDON GLOBAL DANCE FESTIVAL: The Vip Mix

admin | September 8, 2010 - 7:10 pm
LONDON GLOBAL DANCE FESTIVAL: VIP Mix

LONDON GLOBAL DANCE FESTIVAL: VIP Mix

In anticipation of the London Global Dance Festival I have created this special pre-party mix focusing on the tunes I would play for the White Party VIP reception.

As this reception is the opening of the main event, I have selected a wide range of nuFunk* House tunes. Starting definitely in the disco/funkier/soulful end of the spectrum, I gradually move towards a more progressive / tribal feel before pulling it back to a funkier house style and ending with a more clubbier and uplifting progressive vibe. I have drawn tracks from a wide cross section of genre looking for that nuFunk feel and included not only some of today’s biggest floor fillers, but also some older tracks that still enjoy a good floor response and a healthy dose of new and up and coming tunes.

There are two parts to this mix…..making nearly 3 hours of music!

*nuFunk is a term I have coined that is non genre specific, but instead a sound that I look for in all genres. It is reminscent of the funky house era, but only by style. When you give these mixes a listen you will feel the hip-gyrating, toe tapping, uplifting to the soul and accessibility of all the tracks that either otherwise could be called electro, progressive, tech or house. To best describe the vibe of nuFunk I would have to quote ‘ I love music, any kind of music, I love music, just as long as it’s groovin’….’. Get it?
