This Saturday at 11am (yes we know its way too early) catch Her Majesty and me babble on about the tunes we love, the parties we adore, women DJs (I meant Laura, not Lara) and the forthcoming Wild Fruit Red Party at The Honeyclub with the ever glorious DSD and Go Bang! Add the odd giggle, three of our fav tunes including a guilty pleasure … Continue reading Radio Joooooooooooo (and Kate!): Radio Reverb’s Out In Brighton
‘Tis the month to get facial, ’tis the month to get deeply Movember. In honour of those souls making our November all together more bristle like, we bring you our first Winter Warmer of 2012.

Sometimes its all about the sun on your back (or the memory of it), dancing and prancing with friends, good time Sundays and plenty of vocals. Sometimes it’s about your history; your clubbing history and the DJs history. And no DJ has more history than Mr Frankie Knuckles. And so when his latest compilation, the genius Tales From Beyond The Tone Arm on Nocturnal dropped into … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Frankie Knuckles presents ‘Tales from The Tone Arm’
After Luke Howard wiggling his fine arse at the Olympics Horse Meat Disco on Channel 4’s House Party comes in a close second place for my favourite piece of telly in 2012. DJing is about the joy, the love, the wiggle and in HMD’s case, two mighty fine beards. If this performance doesn’t win a Bafta for best end to a live broadcast then I … Continue reading Horse Meat Disco on the tellybox
There are many reasons to like Not Another Corny DJ Promo Shoot. We’ve all been there. Some more than others it would seem. If you’ve ever tried to make a living as a DJ the promo pic is the bane / joy* of your working life. * delete as vanity sees fit. The interview and profile comes calling and you need a pic. There’s only so … Continue reading DJ Promo Pics: Been there, done it, bought the obligatory headphone pose
I’m looking for gay men of all ages to take part in my dissertation research into the imagery used in gay clubbing promotion (flyers / posters / viral videos) from the mid 1980s onwards. I’ll be exploring various aspects of how gay men are portrayed in club promotional material and your responses to it. Just how do you feel about the images used? What images … Continue reading Strike a pose, there’s something to it: Gay men wanted for dissertation research into club images
Wow! Well that was some summer. Celebrations, catastrophes and corking moments. Loved it. But as autumn wings it way into view and the chill comes we need some heat to ensure we keep toasty this October. First up is the return of Layo & Bushwacka!’s Rising & Falling on Olmeto. A lot of beats have passed under the bridge since Love Story but this achingly … Continue reading Wildblood + Queenie’s October Wonders
Inspired by the tunes doing it for us and our new Jack the lad (he loves a bit of deep house that dog of ours) here’s our last Summer Wonder of 2012. Hazy, lazy deep house tunes with a jackin edge that should soundtrack your autumn days and nights just right. Enjoy x Maceo Plex & Jon Dasilva feat Joi Cardwell Love Somebody Else Miguel Campbell Rockin’ … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s End of Summer Wonder Vol.8 – The Jack one
Strings and The xx? That’s me smitten, done for, lost for hours. Can’t think of anything else to say other than leave me alone, I’m having a moment. With The xx and BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. Like you do. Continue reading Perfect Distractions: The xx and the BBC Philharmonic, live in Bridlington
