DJ History Podcast #22

Lordy, feeling as rough as a badger's chuff today after Secret Weapons at the Horse & Groom last night. Got to bed at 3.45am and was awoken by my daughter hovering over the bed at 8am telling me how hungry she was. Bad dad.

An old mix

I found this old mix we gave out at a Low Life party at Fortress Studios (RIP) in 2003 0r 2004. It's done by Fat Camp (me and Paul Noble). Thought I'd upload it for your pleasure.

Raving '89 launch party!

We've got a bit of a zinger coming up in August for the launch of Neville & Gavin Watson's book Raving '89.

We're doing a launch party on Friday, August 7th from 6pm onwards in the lovely Pure Groove in the heart of groovy Smithfields Market (opposite Fabric basically). Pure Groove is a record store, but it also has a licensed bar and a great set-up for either DJs or bands to perform.

Entry is free and the DJs on the evening are:
Andrew Weatherall
Neville Watson
Trevor Fung

It's gonna be ace. You can walk away with a copy of the book in your mitts (provided you pay for it first).

Resident Advisor podcast (redux)

Yeah so I did a Resident Advisor podcast oooh ages ago. Anyway, lots of people (two or three) have emailed me asking where they can get it. So, y'know, you can get it here now forever and ever (or till our Sendspace account runs out) >

RAVING '89: Pre-orders being taken now!

Our next little book (by Neville and Gavin Watson) is Raving '89 and we're taking pre-orders for it from today (pre-orders feature an exclusive rave-era mix fashioned by Neville Watson).

Gavin Watson is the Nikon-clutching genius who published a book called Skins & Punks last year. He rocked up to the office with his brother Neville and a suitcase of photos. There were so many pictures at first we got brainfreeze sifting through them. But as we picked out the best and started laying them out we realised here was a really great document of the time. Basically, in all our years we'd never seen pictures quite like them.
