Interview: DJ History on the record player revolutionaries

You can get the abridged version of this interview in Time Out this week, but to read it in full, check it after the jump. DJ History on the record player revolutionaries Some DJs are more than just nerdy looking blokes flipping records on and off some decks. Or, these days, should we say: more [...]

Interview: Armin Van Buuren at South West Four Festival

I interviewed trance’s answer to Matt Damon, Armin van Buuren, ahead of his headlining set at the South West Four Weekender and the release of his new album, ‘Mirage’. But it’s not a mirage though, is it? He’s so nice and clean cut and media trained… But he does say some interesting schtuffs about vintage [...]

Glasgow’s Numbers at Fabric on Friday

By Kate Hutchinson Like its name suggests, there are numerous complex elements that add up to create Glaswegian collective Numbers‘ scene-defining and widely-aped parties and quality record releases. The hipster hook-up between the city’s edgiest electronic club nights, musicians and labels has six people at its core (from left to right, Bobby Cleaver, Goodhand, Spencer, [...]

Interview: Riva Starr headlines Nite Sessions on Friday

I’m not having the best of days: angry emails from jumped-up and ungrateful promoters; listings system crashing on deadline day, that sort of thing. But I’m really looking forward to sinking some serious Mojito-age at East Village tonight. I’ve picked some DJs. We’ve put them on. And I think they’re rather ruddy brilliant. So I [...]

Feature: African House

I don’t really ‘do’ football. I mean, I love to play and run around and kick people, but not many other people like it when I try. And so, in light of the World Cup starting this week, I thought I’d do a li’l swot up on something not-really-football-related in Time Out, but definitely related [...]

Interview: Sinden on Grizzly Recs and, erm, ‘Hutchface Sounds’

I’ve got lots and lots of time for (Graeme) Sinden. An illuminating DJ and genre-mangler, he’s got a regular show on Kiss Fm; he ran a successful dubwise house night with Sinden, Get Familiar, at Fabric; he got some of that chart and mainstream success with pal Hervé as The Count & BEEPER BEEPER BEEPER [...]

Radio show: Oops, someone let me loose on London Fields Radio

My first solo radio show on London Fields Radio is finally HAR. Is finally online and is has lots of nice music to wiggle around your bedroom to. It’s called Nite Bites (because it’s a nightlife show in a café with bitey things like muffins innaah?) and I play loss of good choons and I [...]

New Club: La Belle Epoque

You can find my wee trend article on brand spanking new (but, like, totally vintage) club night, La Belle Epoque. Trust me: you’ll have a Wilde old time, especially after 10 absinthes or so, in Time Out‘s spangly (yes, it well is spangly) Clubbing section tomorrow. Read all about it first, in full, HAR and [...]

Interview: DJ Yoda

Last Friday, DJ Yoda headlined Time Out Live‘s first Nite Sessions at East Village. He smashed it. He tore the basement a new… I was drunk and messy and slobbering over my poor boyfriend. But I did notice the above with bleary eyes and I’m super happy that people liked the DJs wot I picked [...]

Some DJ-run labels what are good

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 [...]
