Today I’m thumbing through tracks for a gig I wish wasn’t happening. Playing tunes for someone who should be there to hear them. Who always was there when I played. His stylish, glorious self either nodding approval at a new tune or (much later) drunkenly asking for a classic filled with ‘a little love’. Clubbing without him is gonna be strange, no in-fact its gonna … Continue reading Giving more than a ‘little love’ for Simon Seivewright
I was 17 when I finally came out. The response wasn’t the warmest I had hoped for, my mum’s utterance ‘well at least you’ll be able to wear sensible shoes’ the kindest words that came my way but I made it. I became a great big homo. Proud of who I am. Proud of who I love. Proud of how I live. Which is why … Continue reading A battling Disco Deviant supporting LGBT Russia

Well my little dancing cherubs, the nights may be starting to get a little longer now that almost September’s upon us, but with an Indian summer forecast those balmy dark hours mean more time on the dancefloor. And who better to work up a late seasonal sweat with than Mr Revenge himself? So, get those boogie shoes on everyone because it’s time for a bit … Continue reading Queenie’s DJ Profile: Alex Baker
Not all birthday parties are created the same. Not all DJs rock a silver cape quite like our Neal Lewis. Not all parties do it like Schtumm! Nope, nowt gets finer than a night with the Schtumm! crew in Brighton and with Kink (Live), Maxxi Soundsytem, Neal Schtumm, Danielle Moore (Crazy P) and Charles Green, no other party is gonna give you better beats or … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Schtumm 6th Birthday party

So whilst you’re worrying about which outfits to wear and when, whether it’s sun-cream or a rain hat that needs to get stuffed into your hand/man bag and just how many exes you’ll bump into at the parade, a slightly … Continue reading Queenie and Mr (Richard) Jones
Brighton & Hove Pride 2013 is here! The sun will shine, the smiles will beam and we will party. With Pride, with purpose and if I have anything to do with it, in a blatant homo promoting way. (Take that Putin!) Brighton Pride is always an amazing weekend for me, and I love the way the city, its clubs, venues, DJs and clubbers come together … Continue reading Spinning around this Brighton & Hove Pride weekend

I’ve had to remain way too focused for my own good lately. Deadlines and essays and exams and exhibitions. Too much fretting and not enough partying. And definitely not enough perfect distractions. But this weekend I found time for one. The summer has finally started and Dirty Sunset Disco, a lass called Francesca Lombardo, at a perfect Moody Disco, with a very charming Luca C … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Moody Disco & Francesca Lombardo
