Weird Weekendz

Best Promos is back due to PHENOMENAL demand and we're coming LIVE from the Pontiac Dome in Ruislip!

Only joking. We're coming PRE-RECORDED from my 3-bed semi in Eastcote! LOL

That picture you can see at the top of this page was lovingly created by me last week, but it now holds a clearer resonance (a what??) due to a wrong DJ opinion on Twitter this morning. Moody-looking, long haired layabout dance DJ, Daniel Avery, incorrectly Tweeted this to his MILLIONS of Followers:

Will anything ever top the 92 Rumble?

— Daniel Avery (@danielmarkavery) January 29, 2023

Will anything ever top the 92 Rumble? Hell yes.

Let me tell you something. Royal Rumble '92 was good, I grant you, but SummerSlam '91 was better.

Better how?

Just better.

And it had the brilliant Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth wedding reception where The Undertaker and Jake "The Snake" burst in and battered Macho Man after Miss Elizabeth opened a wedding gift and a massive cobra popped out and tried to bite her. I just thank God Sid Justice was there with a fold-up chair to save them. I really do thank God for that.

Can you imagine if that happened to you? You've just married the love of your life, you're in the middle of enjoying a wonderful reception with friends and family, a classy band are playing classy music and life simply can't get any better. All of a sudden, a couple of musclemen in fancy dress burst in kicking tables over and attacking everyone in sight, including you and your newlywed. It must have been terrifying for Randy and Elizabeth.

So, I'm sorry Mr. Avery, but I have to violently disagree with you on your ill-informed Tweet. SummerSlam '91 was better than Royal Rumble '92. And no mistake!

I think the 1990 Survivor Series might be better than it, too. Sgt. Slaughter was still in his Iraqi backing, anti-American phase, which was hilarious. I think he was a goodie by 1992.

So, SummerSlam '91 gets a MACHO 10/10 from everyone here at Best Promos.

Do you like 90s raves? You do? Ok. Do you like mega-raves? Hell yes? Great. Do you like odes to 90s mega-raves, then? What's an ode to a 90s mega rave when it's at home? Well, have a listen to this and then read what I've written about it below:

ARKLEY · So Good

That was So Good by ARKLEY, and if he doesn't mind me saying so, it's so good. LOL. I'd never heard of ARKLEY before, but his PR person wrote an endearingly polite email to us asking for coverage, so I'm happy to oblige. Manners cost nothing, and in Eastcote, do they go a long way? Hell yes they go a long way.

Part of my thinking is also this: ARKLEY is a handsome, young Scottish producer who makes nostalgic dance music. He's got some designer stubble. The BBC like him. He could be the next Calvin Harris. He might become a billionaire. He might remember Best Promos on his way up. He might trust us as his fourth estate. He might grant Best Promos his exclusives. He might fly us to Las Vegas to cover his multi-summer residencies. He might buy me a proper pair of CDJs so I don't have to limp on with my little controller. He might introduce me to Louis Theroux when he does his glossy documentary.

With all of these possibilities whirling around my head like birds and stars, I proudly join Judge Jules in throwing my full weight behind ARKLEY and all of his future endeavours, starting with his Channel A EP, which comes out on Friday 10 February.

Channel A is a right royal 10/10 release.

Speaking of Friday 10 February, my old chums at the Ran$om Note begin a BRAND NEW monthly residency at the best central London bar/club in the whole of central London: The Social. Last year, I made every effort to start a Best Promos hard house night at The Social with James O'Brien off of LBC, but my argument for it wasn't strong enough and I eventually stopped phoning in to ask him. He monologued me to death and made me cry LIVE on air.

My other idea is for Louis Theroux to do a hip-hop night at The Social under the Best Promos banner. I could play some really cool Balearic and yacht rock NTS type stuff upstairs with Pete Fowler whilst Louis Theroux and his mates play their favourite rap songs in the basement. I think it would be a really good night, so I'm going to tag Louis in on today's post and see what happens. We could call it Weird Weekendz or something.

I wonder if it'd be as good as the Ran$om Note Pleasure Pool night, though? Pleasure Pool themselves will be playing live for the first time in London, and if you've never heard of them; they're a really cool and trendy band who play really cool and trendy dance music. Think Hot Chip chopped up and chucked in a blender with a mashed up Chromeo and sprinkled with hundreds and thousands of Teleman B-sides.

No. They're not the bands or references I really wanted to use there, but I'm getting a bit tired now and I couldn't think of the ones I actually meant. Sorry.

And if you think THAT will be cool, wait until you hear about the DJs who are playing in support! Carly G, Matty C and Ally McTropical are all manning, I mean, personing the decks. Does life get any better...?

Will this be a 10/10 night? Hell yes.

How we doing, lads? And women! And the other ones!! Is it cold or have all of my radiators been filled with ice cubes?! LOLoutLOUD!

I'm back once again for the renegade master because I heard that the bloke who does Best Promos (that wrdm RIP OFF website) has bottled doing his dance blog because nobody cba to fucking read him. When I did a blog and multiple columns and articles for no mark websites like VICE and THUMP, I had thousands of boot licking morons reading my words every fucking DAY! I've had a look through Best Promos and it's CRAP. No swearing. No MASSIVE opinions. No having a pop at anyone in dance and no swearing. It's fucking CRAP, so when I saw on the Nextdoor app that he'd put the Best Promos URL up for sale at a knock down price, I bit the cunt's hand off. Literally.

Ransom Note · Premiere: Nasty Mcquaid - Dave Gets Pumped (Tonka's 2015 UK Erection Remix)

I heard that everyone was saying I was dead. That I'd died of AIDS or in a boat crash. That was the rumour, but like all rumours, it was just a fucking rumour. I've been alive and well, living in Northolt, getting absolutely fucking terminated every other night with Shabs from Channel 4 Drugs Live and Draper on ecstasy e tablets and spliff smoke. I stride around telling everyone about how great I was at writing and everyone absolutely loves me for it.

Speaking of ugly DJs, that American DJ, Howard Stern, is ugly, isn't he? Proper fucking ugly. Not as ugly as Jeremy Healy, though. That orange cunt looks like he fell out the ugly tree face first into a bear trap that a North American brown bear had just blasted some fucking diarrhoea into! He's ugly, isn't he, ladies and gentlemen?!

I was sat on the shitter this morning listening to that new Scuba + Distance song, Opposites. It's really good, but I bought some cheap bog roll last week and it was crumbling to pieces as I wiped my arse. It's soft enough, not like the old primary school tracing paper, but crumbly. I had to get on my hands and knees to scoop all the ripped up bits of paper off the floor after I'd splattered the pan. I should have flushed the toilet and lit a candle before doing that, though, because what came out of my guts fucking RONKED. I could taste the iron, do you know what I mean?

Right. Let me have a look at my notes. It's been ages since I wrote a blog. Hang on.

Chubby Funster looking at some dance music

- Chubby Funster

He's like one of Ryan Giggs' poems: absolutely fucking shit.

Now that I'm back for good, there'll be loads more topical stuff like that coming out of your screen on a daily fucking basis. I'll need to get in touch with the Ran$om Note and let them know I'm ready to write every Friday for them again. Wil - get in touch, mate, and we'll thrash out a deal. I can bag an exclusive with Disco Bloodbath or something.

Have you ever noticed that the one with the beard out of ABBA looks exactly like Gerd Jansen? Have a look at the two hairy cunts side by side and see if you can tell who'sBANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah! Really, really sorry, guys! Sorry. I don't know who he is or how he got in here, but when I heard all of that swearing coming from my idle Best Promos server, I had to come and check it out and STAMP it out. See it, say it, see it.

That banging you heard was me smashing my lump hammer repeatedly into the face of the intruder who broke into Best Promos and soiled it with his, ahem, language. He's not breathing now, so I'm going to have to sort out the body and the blood. Not sure what to do with it, to be honest. If anyone has any tips for disposing of a dead body with an inside out face, please get in touch on the means below.

Ugh. I'll have to jump back onto Best Promos next week and clean things up a bit with a clean new post because I can't have this dirty one being the one that people see when they click on https://bestpromos4eva.blogspot.com - again, sorry about this. I should have deleted the Best Promos server last week instead of holding it in abeyance.

Again, again, again, if anyone knows how to get rid of a definitely dead body without the police finding out, get in touch...

Simply Dead

"Mock up tabloid front page about the death of Mick Hucknall. SIMPLY DEAD."

Those were the notes I wrote in draft after uncontrollably laughing to myself in the shower imagining The Sun running the headline, SIMPLY DEAD, when Mick Hucknall dies. Can you imagine if they do?! LOL.

...and that, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, is the end of Best Promos. It's quite pointless carrying on. Nobody reads it, I've got a proper job, with a proper family and a proper house that I need to work on. We need a new sideboard for the living room, we need to modernise the kitchen, we need to redecorate the kid's bedroom, sort out a loft conversion, upgrade our boiler to a combi. I want to get a nicer sofa for the back extension, maybe some underfloor heating. The list is endless, and I'm spending too much time weeing in the wind with this blog. It's a waste of bloody time, pardon my French. Best Promos. The ratings were a ninth of what we could have expected.

"They started badly, they got worse."

So, goodbye readers, thanks for reading, thanks for sharing, thanks for the memories. I'll see you out and about in Eastcote when you're passing through. I wear a white Disco Halal t-shirt every day, so you'll be able to find me. Come and say hello.

Please come and say hello.

Please.

The Simpsons predicted Best Promos!!! LOL

The managing director of Bandcamp, Ethan Diamond, emailed me the other day to let me know that Carlton Doom (real name, Carl Doom) has got a new song out called Gunge!, and that I could buy it for only £3 or more. I emailed back to see if there was a B-side and he came back straight away to say there was, and it's called Razorbrain. I couldn't believe it, so I clicked on the link and was taken straight away to Carlton Doom's Bandcamp page where I could not only buy it outright, but could listen to it before I did so! I couldn't believe it. 2023, eh?! Modern technology. I just couldn't believe it.

I checked my wallet, but I didn't have £3 on me, so I just pressed play on Gunge! and took a video of it on my phone. I emailed myself the video and then converted the .mp4 file to .mp3 using my Any Video Convertor software. I did the same with Razorbrain, and, hey presto!, I've saved myself £3. The sound quality isn't great, and Serato has had problems analysing them (it thinks the BPM is 7!), but I think it adds a grittiness to the recording that I think Carlton was looking for on it.

Now, that is a 10/10 release if ever I've heard one, so, with the power vested in me, I hereby proclaim Gunge! and Razorbrain by Carlton Doom is endowed with the maximum possible score out of ten for a dance music reviewing system on this website, Best Promos: 10/10

Carlton, Carl, whatever your name is, you should be very, very, extremely proud of yourself. To achieve a maximum score on here for a couple of songs that sound like you've lobbed all of your dance music instruments in a cement mixer and paid a couple of Scottish musclemen to smash them to pieces whilst the mixer is on and doing doughnuts in a car park, in the middle of a thunder storm, is no mean feat. It's a right racket, but we love it...and we love you, God damn it *proud face emoji with tear running down cheek*

Gunge! / Razorbrain is OUT NOW.

John Graham, better known as Quivver, and fellow collaborator Dave Seaman have careers spanning over decades in house music. Each has helped define the trajectory of the culture and continue to build on their stellar reputations. Oops! Sorry, I clicked copy and paste by mistake! My bad!

With this release on Steve Bug’s Poker Flat Recordings, the pair demonstrate some of the key traits that have marked their careers - beautifully crafted, euphoric electronic music designed for the dance floor. OMG - I'm so sorry, guys! I copied and pasted again! Ugh! Sorry.

Rockets & Rainbows features Brianna Price on vocals and is a deep, moody groover. RISE resident Floyd Lavine reworks the track also on this release, adding a bubbling, off-kilter acidic edge. Bloody hell. What is wrong with me today?! I keep copying and pasting! So sorry, forgive me.

Last up is Not This Time - a tough, funky roller with a juicy disco vocal sample. I give up on this one! I can't stop copying and pasting!!!! Forgive me, I'm so sorry about this. Sorry.

It's a fab release, though, and I know Steve Bug will be jumping for joy when he sees what score out of ten I'm about to give it...10/10!!! Well done, fellas. Keep up the good work.

Speaking of Steve Bug, I was listening to Märtini Brös earlier this week and I put the Poker Flat A-sides - Chapter One in my wish list today because of that Funk U Up! song. I might ask Father Christmas for it this Christmas! Wish me luck, readers!

Rockets & Rainbows is out on Friday 20 January 2023 on Poker Flat Recordings.

The Maghreban, 44, has got a new song out featuring King Kashmere. Yes. I know. I can't believe it, either.

You might remember The Maghreban from last year's super summer smash hit super single, Waiting, with Avery Baker from EastEnders, and he followed it up with a r-r-r-r-r-really nice song called Treading Water a month or so ago. He's done loads of songs, actually. Have a look on his Bandcamp page and BUY THE LOT: Music | The Maghreban (bandcamp.com)

Yesterday, he brought out that song I was talking about two paragraphs ago, with King Kashmere, it's called M25, and let me tell you now, readers, it's a CORKER. I got in my blue Skoda Fabia last night and drove around the M25 with it on repeat, so I know all the words to it now. But it's not just the words that are great, the music is, too. If I had a gun to my head, I'd describe it as grime adjacent, low slung bass with a dash of lemon and lime. It's THAT good. Have a listen:

It's good, isn't it? And even if you don't think it's good, it's better than anything you could come up with, so I think I don't know, not sure what I'm going on about now. It is a good song, though, isn't it? Have a look at Avery Baker for a minute whilst I decide on a score out of ten...

...thank you. I've come to my decision, and it's final. M25 by The Maghreban featuring King Kashmere gets a WHOPPING 10/10 on Best Promos.

I thimk, I mean, I think I'm all reviewed out now, ladies and gentlemen.

What else have I been up to this week? The Apprentice is back on. Whilst getting worse with every series, it's still quite good, but I've seen an alarming uptick in the amount of female candidates with MASSIVE STICKY OUT lips. I won't body or mouth shame any of them individually on here, but watch it (BBC1, Thursday nights at 9pm or catch up on iPlayer) and you'll see what I mean.

EastEnders has been good this week, and all. I hope Zack hasn't got AIDS and I hope Phil can keep on the straight and narrow now after that nasty business with Keeble. Tommy needs a strong, positive male role model in his life. Phil: do the right thing and give up the gangster life. Choose Kat and Tommy. Choose family. Choose life.

We'll be back next week with MORE dance music reviews and MORE EastEnders thoughts and prayers.

Bye bye.

102 Bloggington Street

I bumped into Melinda Messenger in Wakey Wines last week. After I apologised for bumping into her, Melinda's eyes popped out of her face, she dropped her bottles of Prime on the floor and stuttered, "It's alright, Kev. Hang on a minute, is that a lump hammer in your pocket or are you just r-r-r-r-r-r-r-really pleased to see me?"

And then my alarm went off and I had to get up for work in the Best Promos Writing Factory in Eastcote, otherwise known as "The Dream Factory" or "The Theatre of Dreams". Whilst writing last week's poorly received post, I couldn't stop thinking about the dream I'd had and, thereupon, how brilliant it was of Miss Moneypenny's to get Melinda Messenger to pose on top of a Rolls-Royce for the cover of their Too Glamorous CD.

Have you ever seen it? It's brilliant. Look:

They don't make them like that anymore, do they? Nowadays, it's all weird, arty images that have nothing to do with the music or black and white pictures of the DJ looking all serious. When you look at that picture of Melinda Messenger as a Rolls-Royce figurine, and you see the Miss Moneypenny's logo in the corner, you know you're in for a fun couple of hours. Am I right?

"You're not wrong!"

Look at the current album covers on the RA Reviews page. Look:

BORRRRRRRRRING.

Well, to be fair, the RS Produções cover is lively, but if you have a listen to the music it's a cover for, you'll find that it's BORRRRRRRRRING dance music. If you go one further and read the review of it, you'll fall asleep half way through because it's so BORRRRRRRRRING.

I know they're not mix CDs, but I think I've gone a long way to proving my point. I think.

Yes, I definitely have.

I then wondered if there was a better mix CD cover than Too Glamorous, and I remembered the first Miss Moneypenny's CD: Glamorous One, and I think that's even better than the Melinda Messenger one (sorry Mel!). Take a look at this and tell me you're not jealous of people who lived in Birmingham in the 1990s who could only go clubbing if they had a Vivienne Westwood shirt on, green and white houndstooth Farah trousers and a pair of shiny black Patrick Cox shoes, and who splattered Versace Blue Jeans all over their bodies. And who went to Miss Moneypenny's and Bakers instead of Atomic Jam or House of God. You can wear what you like there. And you can smell however you like.

I never went to Miss Moneypenny's in the 1990s because I couldn't afford the clothes, but I did buy their CDs, and the CD cover for Glamorous One is Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrilliant! Look:

How good is that? A blonde bombshell, a scary looking bloke with make-up on and a muscleman in his pants. Is there a better dance music mix CD cover better than this? Better still, the image is backed up with THREE CDs. One from Tony De Vit, one from Mark Moore and one from Jim 'Shaft' Ryan, and every mix is outstanding. Have a listen to them:

I can't find the Jim 'Shaft' Ryan one, but trust me: it's good.

[ Tee hee. By the way, readers, I was trying to make a clever @ColdWarSteve style comment on the relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William with the cover picture on today's blog, but I think I've gone too far with the imagery. I got worried that it'll offend the Taliban, so I've covered the Best Promos stuff on the right-hand side with logos of our rival publications, so that they'll be the subject of a revenge fatwā attack, not us. Chortle!]

The only other mix CD cover that I can think of that has given me as much joy as the Miss Moneypenny's ones over the years is the Kill The DJ Introducing The Dysfunctional Family - A Mixed Up Compilation By Chloé Et Ivan Smagghe cover. Pour yourself a pint of lager, knock it back and then pour yourself a pint of strong lager because this will blow your socks to kingdom come. Look:

It's mysterious, it's confusing, it's fun - even though it's in black and white, and the photo isn't bad either! LOL. No, that doesn't make any sense. Sorry. It's a fab cover, though, isn't it, readers? The music on the CD, whilst not as funny and upbeat as the Miss Moneypenny's mixes, is nevertheless full of great dance music with loads of drum beats on it and you'll have a lot of pleasure listening to it and, if I may say so, dancing to it if you so wish, which is not to say you have to dance to it, but if you want to, you can, if you are able to - I understand that not everybody is able to dance - so, if you can dance, listen to this mix and dance to it, but if you're not able to dance, that's fine, you don't have to. The choice, as they say, is yours.

I can't find any streams or videos of it, so again, you'll have to take my word for it when I say it's a good mix.

Trus'me.

Whilst never being brave enough Whilst always being too cool to be seen picking up a Bonkers CD and taking it to a cashier, I've always admired their CD covers. They're all hilarious, so I'm just going to Google Image them and pick out one to highlight from there. Hang on.

"What's your favourite Bonkers album, then?"

"Tough one. I think I'd have to say the Best of Bonkers."

This is a fantastic cover for many reasons, all of which I'll let you decide on. I'm getting tired now.

Ahh, this one just popped into my head. I used to like the cover of Seb Fontaine's Prototype CD because I always thought he looked like the Big Boss Man on it. It's quite a good mix, too. Not as 90s TOTP trancey as you'd think, especially CD 1.

Have a listen:

I enjoyed that!

Right, one more. I'm bored now. This next one is a brilliant CD, but a bit of a boring cover...or is it...?

Let's play a game of Where's Wally and see if you can spot the grumpy techno and electro DJ, Dave Clarke, on the cover of this browny, greyey, dull-looking CD cover. I bet you'll be there all night trying to find him! LOL.

Write into the team here at Best Promos on any of the means below to let us know where Dave Clarke is. Title your email, Tweet or Instagram with the words, "I Know Where Dave Clarke Is", and we'll pick a winner at random LIVE on next week's post.

Until then, Don't have nightmares, do sleep well.

Best Promos · Something 2 Stomp 2

Something 2 Stomp 2

Happy New Year, readers, and what a new year it's been so far! This year is so new......that it's still under warranty! LOL.

I said that joke to all of my neighbours on New Year's Day and they all laughed their heads off. It's a genuinely good remark. I've been approaching random parents with new born babies in their prams for years. I say, "Oh, she's/he's/they're cute. Looks like she's/he's/they're still under warranty, too!"

Some DJs and producers give away free downloads, I give away free remarks. That's what it's all about, everybody. A bit of good will.

Right, back to the blog. I was on Mersea Island over Christmas with the in-laws, and my father-in-law, Pedro, was raving about the return of his favourite dance music festival on the island: the Secret Island Festival. Whilst enjoying a massive pint of Yo Boy at The Victory, he said that him and his mates from Saint Edmund's church choir have been for the last two years and had had a fantastic time, and he said that I must promote it on Best Promos. He also reminded me that it is now my last chance to buy Secret Island Festival Tickets at an unmissable price!

"January treats are on the gang at Secret Island Festival. Just enter Xmas20 at the checkout for 20% off your early bird tickets. Hurry! Ends this Friday 6th January", he bellowed to me over his shoulder as he ploughed pounds into the Deal Or No Deal gambler.

I don't know if the Secret Island Festival team read Best Promos, but on the off chance that they do, I am available on the weekend of SATURDAY 29TH JULY 2023 12PM – 11PM if they need anyone to play some nice daytime warm up music. They don't need to provide me with travel expenses or hotel accommodation because I can stay at Pedro's on East Mersea. Just a plus 1 and some boozing tickets.

Whether I play there or not, I'm certain that it'll be a WHOPPING 10/10 festival, and it's the only time of the year there is anybody under the age of 70 on the island, so go along and experience the thrill...

Before Christmas, I was collaborating with superstar DJ, Man Power, on a BANGER. Hmm. Hang on a minute. Is he a superstar DJ? He missed out on that DJ Mag award last month. Hmm. I don't know. Anyway, we had a bit of going back and forth on the Internet about bangers, and what constitutes a banger, and he had the great idea of setting up a Soundcloud page for following his progress whilst he attempted to make a pure BANGER. It's a fun idea, and it pulls back the curtain a bit for people to see how tunes evolve. I liked it and I continue to endorse it. I was going to copy him this year and do my own progress page for a BANGER of my own, but I'm so fab at making dance music that I ended up completing and mastering* a BANGER from scratch in only 20 minutes. It's called Something 2 Stomp 2 because I sampled an NWA song. And yes, Dr Dre has cleared it for use. Here's the email I sent him last week:

*not fully mastered

He replied the very same day to say I could.

So, without further ado, here's the worldwide exclusive play of my 10/10 rated BANGER, Something 2 Stomp 2. Take it away...

Best Promos · Something 2 Stomp 2

That was so banging, all of my hammers just melted! LOL

What else do I like this week? Bit of an old one, but I've only just come around to it because I saw Soul Clap post an old 00s pic of them DJing at the Liquid Bar, a venue I went to a bit when I first moved to London in the early 00s. Look:

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Soul Clap (@soulclapofficial)

Don't they look young! I've always liked Soul Clap, so I had a listen to the Club Chi’ll Records song they were going on about and it's r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-really good. You have a listen:

See. I told you it was good. It's the kind of record that makes me want to go to a fashionable city hotspot and lean on the bar. I'd wink a lot and do the finger gun point thing at all of the good looking women who walk in whilst drinking a long, tall, cool glass of pink champagne through a straw. I'd probably be wearing a trendy hat, too, and smoking a fag - even though I don't smoke, and you can't smoke indoors nowadays, but that's what I've been doing in my head whilst listening to it.

Can't Help It by Byron Stingily gets a cool and trendy 10/10 from everyone here at Best Promos. Congrats all! Print this off and stick it on your fridge.

Can't Help It by Byron Stingily is OUT NOW on Club Chi'll Records, and comes packaged with some barnstorming remixes by Soul Clap and The Spaces Between (Ian "Snowy" Snowball, Terry Farley, Wade Teo).
