DJ History – Northern Soul, The 100 Club & Wendy Mays ‘Locomotion’
I’ve been getting back into Northern Soul recently. Back in the mid – 1980’s. I used to attend Northern Soul all-nighters at the 100 Club in London’s Oxford St and Wendy Mays ‘Locomotion’ nights at the now defunct Town & Country club in Kentish Town, north London. Fast forward 30 odd years and I happened […]

DJ Joey Negro came to play in Hong Kong and WOW! WHAT a night! This was the first time I have actually got to see him play in Hong Kong, even though he has played here a few times before, but I was DJ-ing myself so was unable to make the gig. He did not […]

Dimitri from Paris at KEE Club Fri 22nd June 2012
We were lucky enough to have Dimitri From Paris spinning at KEE Club recently. Along with ‘Sir’ Norman Jay, Gilles Peterson and Greg Wilson, Dimitri is in my top 4 DJ’s, so I was ready for a great night of music. Dimitri stuck to a rather safe set of commercial 80’s re-edits when he could […]

It’s always a pleasure to welcome ‘Sir’ Norman back to Hong Kong and he didn’t disappoint when he played here the other week. It was great to see him on fine form dropping tune after tune while seamlessly covering all musical bases with apparently no effort – a true master at work. Tune of the […]

DJ Steve Bruce @ View 62 Lounge, 62/f Friday 29th June 10pm+
I’ll be returning to View 62 for my second set tonight from 10pm. i’m still feeling out what kind of music to play there as it’s pretty chilled and very swanky, so expect a pretty relaxed vibe. Drinks are reasonably priced and it’s Hong Kong’s ONLY revolving restaurant. Well worth a look! The address is […]
