Today I’ve been dancing at my desk. The missus has been dancing as she draws the Ouch House. And its all because of a certain handsome bugger. Yep that Charles Green has done it again with a brilliant mix for AkaAkaRoar! From the first vinyl crackle to the last, he demands your attention with a mix I already know is gonna be one we can’t get enough … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: AkaAkaRoar! Mix June ’14 – Charles Green
I could go on about the craft of these two DJs, the importance of the resident, the joy of house, the love of decent Audio, the cut of their jib. But I won’t. I’ll just say this live session makes me happy and leave it that. And turn it up some more. Like you do. Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Neal Schtumm & Charles Green B2B @ Warehouse
Like all good things Twelve Inches just kinda evolved. Struck by the loss the godfather, fuelled by memories of love on the dancefloor. And handmade with (Wildblood) love, glue and an awful lot of scissor action. Twelve Inches reflects upon my life in the club world, a queer journey where finding dancefloors becomes finding self. Utilising my own photographs taken throughout my years on the scene as both DJ … Continue reading Twelve Inches. For Frankie Knuckles. For Us. For The Love.
Wow. Its not often I get so perfectly distracted by a couple of lads. But today the video for Hercules & Love Affair’s new single I Try To Talk To You directed by David Wilson and produced by international online retailer SSENSE and System Magazine has me all in a spin. A beautifully shot and choreographed black and white spin. And the tune ain’t too bad either, … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: ‘I Try To Talk To You’ Hercules & Love Affair’s new video
Some days are long. Some days are exhausting. Some days caffeine won’t do. But some days joyful sounds like that of Wild Fantasy live at Disco Deviant pop into your inbox and everything is all good again. Their live slo-mo disco tinged mix from last weekend’s Deviant night at Audio had me more refreshed than a slip into a iced Lipton. A real ahh moment I can’t wait … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Wild Fantasy live @ Disco Deviant
It’s the merry month of May and I have to say what a marvellous month it is with the long light evenings, the birds singing and…..but hey. This ain’t Country File. This is a reminder to get your dancing shoes on and skip off down the disco. So with that in mind, Queen Josephine caught up with the completely gorgeous Zach Burns. A man with … Continue reading Queenie gets hot with Zach Burns

My next Strike A Pose project will examine the role of gay clubbing as a rite of passage. Twelve Inches will reflect queer journeys, those early days we all had finding dancefloors, finding self by utilising memories supplied by clubbers of their first tentative forays into LGBT society. (That’s where you dear friends, colleagues and fellow clubbers come in). It will celebrate those first dancefloor stepping-stones be they … Continue reading Twelve Inches: Help needed to create a snapshot of our dancefloor lives
