Happy birthday mister. You are and will always be our godfather of house. You built our church, you gave our disco life, you brought joy with your tears. Thanks Mr Knuckles. You are missed. Always. Continue reading Perfect Distractions : Having a Frankie Knuckles moment
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
So many Brighton Prides. So many tunes. So many magnificent memories. This month we celebrate them with our BrightonPride25 chart. A small token of our appreciation for every single DJ, promoter, Pride worker, volunteer, business, clubber, marcher, campaigner, overworked bar tender and wiggler. Without you Brighton Pride would not be the wonder it is today. Without you these tunes would not come with the grinned-filled … Continue reading Wildblood & Queenie’s Brighton Pride Wonders
Life in the Ouch House may mean a distinct lack of clubbing till QJ heals but we’ve been still getting our wiggle on to some right good stuff. This stuff. This month’s Home Service Mix is a celebration of late night partying and right proper house music. No lame chart remixes here. No rework of some pop princess you wished had stayed in Cowell’s closet. … Continue reading New Wildblood + Queenie Home Service Mix – Getting all deep, tech and filthy in the #Ouch House
We’re all done and dusted with frosty mornings and dingy evenings (maybe!), so now my budding spring petals let’s trot along to some quite fabulous April albums. Firstly it’s cockle-warming time as the Soul Damn Funky boys (Brighton’s very own Russell Ruckman and Kevin Fernando) team up with the legendary Todd Terry to release a rather marvellous compilation of the very finest in US house … Continue reading Queenie’s April Wonders: SDF, Amarli, Fabric Records, Maze & Masters, Underground Audio and more
That moment. We all know it. It haunts you for days after – what is that tune? Who is that vocalist? Who produced that wonder? And will I ever hear music the same again? The tune that represents the best in gay clubbing. Loud, occasionally wankered but always unified on a dancefloor, somewhere, some night, some year. The clubs we remember, the clubs we love. … Continue reading And the best gay clubbing tune ever is……?
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

This Is How I See It is the new mix from local wonder Lee Garrett. It hit my hotspot on first listen and much like the lad himself is an adorable take on all things we love about house music. There’s a touch of the horizontal about this mix and I defy you not to get a grin on your moosh after one listen. Another … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Lee Garrett
