2019 has been one of those golden years. A year so golden Bowie would have been proud. A year filled with love and tunes and more disco than a fifty-year-old could ever need. If this was my best yet decade I made sure it was decadent indeed and plan to continue to do so this New Year’s Eve as Wildblood and Queenie (that’ll be me … Continue reading Patterns NYE : Joy Orbison & Fifi Eclair
I’m not sure if this is what Mrs Ronson had in mind when having noted my early childhood vinyl obsession she made me Class 6 Record Player Monitor at Frinton Primary School. But it seems those days of putting a needle on a “not too exciting” record for everyone to file into the assembly hall to were not in vain. Although I always wondered if the … Continue reading 1BTN IWD Soundsystem at Patterns

In the beginning there was Jack and Jack had a groove. And we came to this groove because of the groove of all grooves, disco. And from disco came house, came Chicago, came Frankie and Ron and Larry and Marshall and Louis. And from disco came New York and The Loft and The Gallery and Paradise Garage and David and Nicky and Larry. And from … Continue reading Bringing the disco to a history of Chicago House at Patterns
What would Brighton be without Mr Charles Green? There would be less grins, giggles and grooves thats for sure. Because he’s the kinda King Charles whom I always want to rule my dancefloor. And with action as good as his latest Soul Fingers EP on the ever pert ASOK label, it is a cert he’ll continue to do so. Be it the techno jam hot happening … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Charles Green’s sublime Soul Figures EP
Always a firm favourite in the Wildblood and Queenie household (the Queen Mother is a huge techno fan as many of our Home Service listeners will know) we can’t wait to crack a grin to the often understated but never lightweight beats of James Ruskin at First Floor’s 2nd Birthday at Brighton’s Patterns tonight. But then when local hero and all round handsome bugger promoter and resident … Continue reading First Floor 2nd Birthday w/ James Ruskin at Patterns
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
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
He’s too cute for his own good but boy can he produce a wonder or two.
