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

Queenie’s DJ Profile: Alex Baker
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
I love it when an idea comes together
When I sat at my desk pondering how a post-dissertation, skint graduate could make a noise about the appalling legislation destroying LGBT lives in Russia, little did I think my desire to find a artist to design me a t-shirt to wear as I DJ’d at my favourite Brighton Pride gig would become the wonderous event that it did. Boy did Brighton embrace the fire … Continue reading I love it when an idea comes together
Wildblood + Queenie’s September Wonders
Blimey, well after that weekend we are still in a proud recovery position. Talk about amazing; Brighton we couldn’t be prouder of you. But after every party must come the reality, unless of course you have some decent tunes in your ears and a post-Pride bounce in your heart. We, dear readers, have both. The first to keep us grinning is the rather delicious (10 … Continue reading Wildblood + Queenie’s September Wonders

Perfect Distractions: Schtumm 6th Birthday party
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
Brighton Supports Russia LGBT Update
I love it when an idea comes together. Only early this week I was sat here wondering if I could do more than rant and rave about the appalling abuses taking place in Russia against its LGBT community. Only a week ago Karol Michalec agreed to help bring my idea to fruition and create some amazing artwork. And only a few days ago the wonders … Continue reading Brighton Supports Russia LGBT Update
