Dark Psych In Luton 19.3.2015

Unfortunately I, like so many others at this time, have succumbed to the dreaded cold virus that is spreading across the UK, so I really wasn't in the mood for anything, let alone a night of DJing. But the show must go on, and cancelling the night at such short notice would of just been rude imo, especially with this particular night being sadly the last one that guest Lee can currently do, at least till autumn. So in my dazed state, being unable to talk and hardly swallow, I sought for a night of medicinal liquids, and a half in/half out state of musical consciousness!

I had to say I was greatly surprised at the support we received from the group (especially as the passing trade seem to have dissipated these last night weeks) and pretty much everyone said they're enjoyed the music. Just ironic that this was the last full show, but I've enjoyed adding psych to the my usual sets these past few months, so don't worry, you'll still get to hear it on occasion.

As per usual, guest Lee played a great selection, all very carefully selected and well mixed together, together with the mind numbing strobes although I must admit to having to turn the off  the lights during my last set of the night, as it was really messing with my already fucked head, plus also for not bringing my own bits and pieces down, and cutting short my last two songs so I could get home to bed asap!

So thank you to everyone that supported last night, and to Lee for the past 6 psych shows. He's introduced me to so much new music over the last 9 months, and been an inspiration and joy to have DJing at Dark Night and we hope its not too long before we see him back at the controls again.

Dark Night In Luton - All Night & Nasty 12.3.2015

As I previously mentioned, DJ Uncle Filthy is currently in training for his guest DJ slot at Whitby's 'Sexy Sunday' at the end of April, hence the 99% coverage of goth music he played, and certainly not the usual eclectic mix that we're used to, but that did give me the chance to really get as many genres in as possible throughout this night, including a last minute tribute to the 30th anniversary of The Sisters Of Mercy's 'First And Last And Always' album (which really had to be done!) All round, it was a bit of a quiet one this time, so many thanks to those that did show your support.

Dark Night In Luton Classic Album Special "Bauhaus - The Sky's Gone Out" - 5.3.2015

So, the first in what may become a line of 'classic album' nights for Dark Night In Luton, although I do however believe my choice was somewhat overly niche compared to usual crowd that now accumulate at my nights. Still, somebodies got to do it, and all in all, 'The Sky's Gone Out' is still one hell of an album, even 33 years on! My only annoyance was that I picked up my Canadian release of the album to play, which although has extra tracks, just not quite as many as required for my needs compared to the UK release, so I missed out playing several B-sides towards the end of the night, but hey, there's plenty more nights ahead eh!

Anyway, many thanks to the crowd that ventured over from the Hat Factory after their comedy event, and to the few from the main group, as it turned into a very busy night.  I also got to meet Andrew O'Neil, guitarist for the steam-punk band "The Men That Would Not Be Blamed For Nothing" (hence the Creaming Jesus request!) So many thanks to all that supported the night. The next classic album featured will be requested Simple Minds "Empires And Dance" on Thursday 23rd April.

Dark Night In Luton - The Apocalypse Has Now Begun 26.2.2015

Originally, my sets were written specifically for DJ Antony 'El Beardo''s birthday event for last year, but as plans for that had gone tits up, inviting him to play 'The Apocalypse Has Now Begun' was perfect for what I wanted to do achieve for this particular themed night. Bit of a slow start, and I assume that the end of the month syndrome affected a few people, but by the end, we had a fair few bodies out. There wasn't anything that Ant played that I didn't like, and I totally welcomed the style to which the music suited Dark Nights agenda of different. I thoroughly suggest intrigue take you to Youtube to investigate further, although hearing the music loud and in a social grace will not be quite the same experience! Still, never fear as we welcome 'El Beardo' into the fold of guest DJs for future events to come, so keep watching the skies!

Dark Night In Luton 19.2.2015

With Lutons beer festival basically stripping the pub of all its patrons this time last year, I had already assumed I was in for another quiet one. Luckily, this was not the case, and would probably say it was the busiest night we've has so far, with a nice group of friends that I haven't seen for a while (school people so half term really counts!) and a good passing trade crowd, all staying (and most importantly, not complaining about the music being offered up!) So thanks very much to all those that supported.

Dark Night In Luton with guest DJ Uncle Filthy - 12.2.2015

I don't think I could of asked for a better night. Ralph & I were both very tired, but once the music started to flow, and the people started to arrive, there was just no stopping us. The amounts of compliments we received and that lovely expression "I haven't heard this for years" really makes my night knowing that we've rekindled some musical gem from somebodies past. Just perfect, and it almost makes me feel sorry for those that weren't there - almost! Oh and R.I.P. Steve Strange.

Dark Night In Luton - Darker Than Schalcken 5.2.2015

Good to see a few more people from the group out last night, although for some reason, I just couldn't get into the spirit of the night. Not much in the way of passing trade until the 11.30pm crowd arrived, and then I started to get into it - typical! Still, some good tunes aired, especially the new Psychic TV track which seemed to go down well. Next week I expect to be more raucous!!
