An eclectic birthday party (my DJ set was preceded by a pianist and succeeded by a harpist) in a unique setting - the London Canal Museum, housed in a former Ice Warehouse just north of King's Cross, complete with a half-hull of a former canal boat and assorted other canal-related exhibits ( Read more... )

New Years Eve with the Shenanigans crowd at Canal 125 for Shenanigans: Voodoo Swamp Fever, with the B-Movie Sound System carrying us over the midnight hour. The night was opened by DJ Ruth, then dBSurfeit and Hamst0r before the B-Movie Sound System. Next set for me, then Psyche to close the night. There was bunting, there were balloons, and there ( Read more... )

Another Whitby Goth Weekend, another Sunday, and back to The Shambles for an 80s Night, with Miss Kitty as the musical navigator while I piloted another overloaded metaphor over the North Yorkshire coastal town, now with added new PA stacks.

This one was "The Non-Euclidean Nightmare", so the costumes featured more tentacles and runes than a busy sushi restaurant. On top of that, we had an album preview from CTRL-ALT-DEL, performing from inside a cage at the end of the ground floor. All in all, a pretty busy night - added to the fact that we opened an hour earlier than usual, so had ( Read more... )

Supporting The Memepunks again, alongside frequent co-defendant collaborator Andy Ravensable. Two sets from The Memepunks this time, playing their usual combination of covers and live mashups on an assortment of unexpected instruments (and kazoos). Andy and I alternated the interval sets, with Andy covering the first, from The Memepunks opening set ( Read more... )

With the title “One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing”, there was really only one way the theme to Saturday's Shenanigans club could go. Admittedly, there were considerably fewer cavemen and women than expected, but we did have a dinosaur on the door for a while. Although we only had the top two floors, it worked pretty well - the sofas had all been ( Read more... )

Last night Victorian Vampyres vs Steampunk Slayers put on another night at Electrowerkz - this time 'Hammer House of Hedonism', featuring cabaret stints from Darren Demondaz and Nigel Osner, live music from AlterRed, Gladstone and The Mysterious Freakshow and DJ sets from Darren, Scott McMahon and me ( Read more... )

With most of the other DJs going the electronic or mashup set routes, I decided to go 'eclectic' on the end-of-night set on the ground floor - maybe a touch more so than usual, but it seemed to do the job, with a couple of previously untried tracks working out too ...
