MUSIC. NIGHTLIFE. CULTURAL RIOTS. LONDON TINGS. BY KATE HUTCHINSON.
I’ve also just found the first Mixmag piece I wrote this year on the delightful house DJ Cassy as part of their ‘Queens of the Underground’ cover feature in May. At some point, I’ll post the interview in full because she was quite simply just awesome. But for now, here she is talking about Miami [...]
Look how excited he is! Yes, Mylo, he of “Da da da da, drop the pressure” fame is back. He has been, like, throwing underground parties an’ that at Dalston Superstore in east London for most of the year. But on October 8, he gonna take it to XOYO once more with Ed Banger young [...]
Online video/radio broadcast The Boiler Room is so hot darn exciting it makes me feel funny in my ladyparts. They take some of the best cutting edge DJs from London and beyond, stick ’em in a south London warehouse in front of a webcam to spin their heart out and let lossa dubstep fanboy tweens [...]
A version of this article first appeared in Time Out’s Valentine’s Issue, 2011. It’s the weekend before Valentine’s Day and everybody is doing it. DJing, we mean. You filthy lot. Like rockland, clubland also has its Gwen Stefanis and Gavin Rossdales (minus the love children, we imagine) and many of them are playing at parties [...]
I like Red Bull. I like Red Bull a lot. And they like Innerpartysystem, who are newly signed to Red Bull Records. Did you know that they like hats, playing live gigs on their iPhones and making things out of rubbish? Neither did I. But I wrote about that and some other things I didn’t [...]

Not least because, while many of his acid house contemporaries have wafted away with the spirit of ’89, bushy-faced Weatherall has remained ahead of the curve. His sonic CV dances through helping to kickstart Britain’s rave-in-a-field dance culture as part of fanzine [...]

There still ain’t many compared to the blokey blokesteppas, but here’s an article I wrote on women in dubstep for Time Out in 2008, including Ikonika. I think it’s still relevant. www.timeout.com/london/clubs/features/5005/Women_in_dubstep.html
Hallo again. So, this week I meant to publish my Kissy Sell Out interview before his label launch party at Vibe Bar on Brick Lane with Mixmag today, but I had an epic blog fail. I will will will will publish it in full, but Sinden scanned in the e-d-i-t-e-d version and you should all [...]
I just noticed this on one of me ‘Fuck, what can i put on my blog?’ missions. I’m thanked (along with 1000000 other people) by the truly wonderful, inspiring and impressive Red Bull Music Academy, which landed in London earlier this year and left a whirl of crazy parties in their wake.
