Today could of been one of those days. Drizzle, daunting decisions and not much disco. But then Honey Dijon‘s set for the Boiler Room’s 6th birthday in Berlin came along and the bounce was back. Today is World Mental Health Day and for me music has always been my saving grace. As a DJ, a radio producer, a clubber. There’s something about tunes that make … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Honey Dijon in the Boiler Room

Who yet again deserves our dancefloor attention thanks to his latest … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Lee Garrett’s Mind

This NYE I had the pleasure of meeting a certain dancing house queen. A DJ called Mike Servito who delivered a set so sweet, so rooted in the wonders of house music; old, new, acid, deep and dirty, that once I came home from Patterns and recovered I felt the love of Jack, all over again. Berocca downed and headache dismissed I hunkered down and found this beauty, Servito B2B with … Continue reading Feeling the Voice I Hear courtesy of Mike Servito and The Black Madonna
At a time when the world feels as if its heading backwards it would be simpler all round for us to just bury our heads in the glittering sand and indulge in that most comforting of distractions. Nostalgia. And yet this slice of brilliance from Francis Inferno Orchestra encourges the opposite of that – yes the video for the stand out EP track Oasis may be of those raving … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Francis Inferno Orchestra ‘Oasis and A Time’ EP
