Tuneful donations
The missus and I have played some interesting gigs. For some interesting people. In bumper car booths, museums, village halls and behind a Vintage sofa. And let’s be honest, you play those gigs for a reason other than banging out the basslines and seducing the dancefloor. You are doing the decent thing for decent people and a decent cause. On Saturday November 30th 11am-3pm Queenie and … Continue reading Tuneful donations
Dyke
Word came through today that a word had been deemed inappropriate. One word. Dyke. It seems Sussex LGBTQ Society find the use of the word dyke in the title of VG Lee and Rose Collis’ forthcoming Christmas production Bah Humbuggers (or Dyke the Halls) makes their members uncomfortable. Astonishment from and on behalf of the performers has been expressed and the word dyke is being reclaimed online … Continue reading Dyke
Love Always Wins
I love my sofa sport. I love the thrills, the spills, the sudden expertise that a week of watching gymnastics can impart on a soul. And I’ve always loved the Winter Olympics. There’s nowt like curling up to some camp as tits ice skating at 3am to warm up the dark months. But come 2014 I will be avoiding the Sochi Winter Olympics. I’ll give … Continue reading Love Always Wins
Wildblood and Queenie’s November Wonders
So with the nights drawing in and summer a far too distant memory we need a few bangs to lighten up the darkness. We need some bangers with no mash. First up is the textured techno of Shifted and his sound exploration Under A Single Banner on the Bed Of Nails banner. Proving the wonders are out here if you stray from the path. Also … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s November Wonders

Wildblood and Queenie’s October Wonders

First up is something to snuggle up to. Rae & Christian’s Mercury Risin on Late Night Tales sees Ed Harcourt and Gita Langley join the duo for some truly inspired downtempo … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s October Wonders
Giving more than a ‘little love’ for Simon Seivewright
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
Perfect Distractions: Donna Summer Sunset People (Hot Chip Dub Edit)
Today I needed a tune. A perfect perfect distraction. A tune filled with memories of disco queens and clubbing wonders. A tune reminding me of the possibilities of the future. And Hot Chip’s remix of Donna Summer’s Sunset People did it. Part of a forthcoming remix album Love To Love You Donna that we will no doubt be talking about and dancing too for a … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Donna Summer Sunset People (Hot Chip Dub Edit)
A battling Disco Deviant supporting LGBT Russia
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
