Clubbing and Dance Music

Hi readers, I've just thought of a really funny name for a character in the Beano; Welcome Matt ! :-) LOL

Welcome Matt is a little boy at primary school called Matthew (or Matt) and he's always getting walked all over by his teachers and parents. Well, he gets walked all over for most of the strip until the very end where he gets his own back. At the end, it's the grown ups who get walked all over...by Welcome Matt, his pals and their elaborate pranks!

Speaking of characters, did you know that there is a new Manni Dee podcast mix for fabric out on the world wide web (all the funniest people call the Internet the world wide web!!)? It's called fabric podcast 006.

That's a boring name for a podcast. I would have called it The Club Fabric Mega Mix: Chapter VI.

Manni Dee is one of the nicest men in industrial dance, and if you can shove the boring podcast name out of your brain and focus your brain solely on the music that Manni Dee is playing on the podcast, your brain will be in for a great big treat because it's a r-r-r-r-r-r-r-really good mix. It's the type of music you'd hear Perc play in a nightclub in Holland, but it's Manni Dee on a fabric podcast. It's all out of focus, fast and nasty, but with that trademark Manni Dee beat-matching on the transitions between the different songs.

"When it comes to beat-matching techno songs, the name Manni Dee on the mix equals a great stamp of quality for DJing in England, abroad or on a CD." - Best Promos, August 2022

He can use that quote on his posters.

Have a listen to his fabric mix:

It's good, isn't it? After listening to it in Eastcote last night, I sat down on the toilet and thought about what score to give it. After wiping my bottom with great poise and concentration, I decided on a STONKING 10/10 !

And if you think THAT'S good, go down to Room 2 in fabric on Sunday and watch him DJ in real life. I saw him at House of God a few years ago and had a really good time. YOU won't REGRET it.

Here's a funny story. You'll like this. The first thing I did when I got back from Spain on Sunday was hop in the blue Skoda Fabia and zoom off down to Sports Direct in Uxbridge for some brand new astro turf football boots. Weirdly, they don't have any Sports Direct shops in Jaca! Can you believe it?! 

Whilst driving through Ruislip, the lady DJ on Greatest Hits Radio was re-telling a funny story she'd heard on the news about the Queen. Apparently, since she was a toddler, HRH Queen Elizabeth II has demanded - and eaten - a bacon, sausage and egg sandwich (made with fried bread and brown sauce on both sides of bread) for lunch every single day of her life. Even when she's abroad! The greedy get. LOL.

Speaking of people who I imagine probably like sandwiches, the Estonian house DJ and producer Taavi Tuisk has released a new two track, err release, for Steve Bug’s Poker Flat Recordings record label on Poker Flat Recordings!

I downloaded this a few weeks ago, I can't remember what it sounds like and I haven't got any speakers or headphones available right now to re-listen to it, but the promo man in my emails said that, "the title track of Incroyable is a deep house track with tons of cosmic disco attitude - bright sparking synths and shuffling grooves. What's more it features an outstanding spoken word vocal in French.


Also included is a rework by Mihai Popoviciu, a Poker Flat regular who turns in a tougher tech house version that's the perfect compliment to the original. All in all an unmissable release set to go over big with a lot of DJs and their dancefloors."

Proud British readers: don't let the French thing put you off, I'm sure it's still a good release - I just can't remember what it sounds like to tell you exactly - with my OWN words - what to think about it.

Still, if it's on Poker Flat, it HAS to be good, so I'm awarding it a super soar-away 10/10 on good faith!

Incroyable by Taavi Tuisk is OUT NOW on Poker Flat.

Speaking of good faith, I had a good email from faith the other day to tell me about a new playlist they've put up on Spotify. It's called DC10 - The Early Years, and it's jolly good, yah. I listened to most of it whilst unpacking my bags after getting back from Spain on Sunday and it had me wishing I'd spent the week in DC10 in the 00s, rather than Jaca in the 20s. Music does that, doesn't it? It's so emotive and special, and can take your mind and soul back in time and to places that mean so much to you. Yeah, man.

Whoops, getting a bit deep there, readers!

Listen to this, it'll blow your socks off:



faith are a bit 90s, aren't they? I think they started in the 90s. I might be wrong, might be late 80s. Anyway, for a laugh, I replied to the email about DC10 and asked faith if they'd contribute their favourite 90s joke for this blog. I haven't got a response yet, but I reckon it'll be this one:

Pamela Anderson walks into Malibu Stacey's on a Friday night, feeling a bit randy. You know? A bit saucy. She spots Jim Morrison out of The Doors in the corner, walks past Craig Richards on her way over and drops to her knees. Next thing you know, she's, you know, doing the deed on his, you know...peeling a banana and eating it, you know...? Eh? Once she's finished, Jim says thanks and she gets up, still feeling randy. She turns around and Ray Manzarek from The Doors is there, nursing a glass of whisky, on the rocks. Pamela drops to her knees again and, *boof* , Ray is on the receiving end of a bit of, you know, too. He's a very happy man, but Pamela wants more. She's still not sated. Mark Moore from S-Express nods in the direction of The Doors guitarist, Robby Krieger. Pamela Anderson walks over, gives Robby the eyes and the next thing you know she's got her mouth around his old man. One thing leads to a finish, and she still wants more. Pamela Anderson in the 90s is very randy, eh readers? John Densmore, the drummer in The Doors, is stood at the bar, pint in hand, so Pamela wanders over, squeezes his meat and two veg and before you know it, she's done him and all. She's done the same courtesy for all of the original members of The Doors, but Pamela Anderson still wants more...

...Pamela eyes The Rolling Stones on the dancefloor and creeps up on Keith Richards. She drops to her knees, unzips his leather flares and before she can go any further, Seb Fontaine crashes through the wall in a Mini and shouts, "you're only supposed to blow the bloody Doors off!!!"

LOL!!!

It's funnier if you imagine Seb Fontaine shouting that in a Michael Caine voice.

I think for the joke and the playlist, faith fanzine should get an unprecedented DOUBLE 10/10 !!
