Modern Psyche @ The Bear Club 15.6.2017

Ever since the hosting "Psyche Night In Luton" at G2, The Bear Club was the place where really I wanted to perform this night, it already having the chilled and relaxed atmosphere before you even walk in the door! So you can appreciate, I was nervous as hell leading up to this night, especially with support for my usual nights being rather lacklustre of recent, plus with the added pressure of playing a different genre entirely. But I'm pleased to say that the opening night couldn't of gone any better, with a good crowd already en-mass, with plenty more to still attend, and most importantly, nobody leaving once I started to play!!

So many thanks firstly to Justin of The Bear Club for letting me host my night, and to all that supported the night, and for all the compliments for the chosen music. I certainly hope to return later in the summer for more trippy fun!

Why Pamper Lifes Complexities? 9.6.2017

Another fun, if not quiet night. But this still gave me a good chance to play the newer material I've been listening too for the past few months including Merciful Nuns, Depeche Mode and The Janitors to name a few, although with the lack of alternative support, the last half of the night ended up in the usual mix of classics to keep the locals happy, but then we did have an unexpected appearance from Spiderman And Superman, so I guess this pretty much keeps the night to its usual weird essence! So thanks to those that did support, and I'll be back at G2 in late July for another mad mix of the morose, plus I'll be DJing for a special charity night, so keep watching for the adverts.

Wild & Wonderful @ The Black Horse 26.5.2017

As previously stated on the invite page, its been almost 8 years since the heady days of DJing "Thursday Fury" at The Black Horse, and as history tend to constantly repeat itself, I find myself here once more! So with the sun beating down all day, and the majority of the punters drinking in the beer garden, the night settled in pretty well, with a small but friendly group joining me at the DJ table for the duration. Plenty of compliments about my music selection, plus a minimum of requests, this turned out to be a very pleasant and enjoyable night, with a hope to be back playing again soon. So many thanks to the few that did accept my invitation, and to Chris the landlord for asking me to play in the first place! Keep watching the skies!

Jason Rainbow - 50 Years In The Making 20.5.2017

Its not very often I promote or advertise a playlist from a birthday party, but this night was for a friends 50th that I first got to know him back when I was around 20 and he still amazingly turns up at my DJ nights and originally, he booked me about 3 years ago to do this night, so thought I'd better!!
Anyway, it was so much fun, mainly as it meant catching up with friends, some I haven't seen for many years.

Musically, you can consider that 90% of the below songs were requested by Jason, but it was easier to highlight the actual requests from the night in order to get the general gist of what the night was about.

One Night In Rammstein 12.5.2017

Another great had written into the pages of history of The George IInd, and most definitely a night never to be repeated. Can't say I particularly fancy listening to Rammstein again for a while though! So, yes. As advertised, we managed a FULL 5 hours and with only one complaint on the night!! Not a single request, although I think I was only 3 songs short of the whole back catalogue by the end.

The night itself ticked over very nicely, although I can't help feel that if those 50 "interested" on the Facebook event page could of made a little more of an effort, it would of been one of the best nights of the year type thing! Just saying! Regardless, if you did miss out on the event, then rest assured you really did miss out!

So, the thanks begin. First off, a very well done to the G2 staff for putting up with the change of direction of music for the night and for all your hard help as per usual. Thanks to those that were kind enough to help advertise and spread the word. There were certainly plenty of people in attendance that I didn't know, and finally to all those that did support and make the night worthwhile, even those that I know didn't want to be there!! 

Officially, I'm back on Friday 9th June for a back to normal, good ole fashioned alternative night, (Why Pamper Lifes Complexities) mixing all my usual styles with those for a taste of the eclectic, but if you can't wait till then, I've been asked to DJing again this coming weekend (20th) for a birthday party and everyone is welcome.

Doppelgänger 10.3.2017

"All's well that's end well" is probably the best summation for this evenings musical tribute to Curve. In actual fact, the two people that I know that used to really love Curve, in reality, actually hate my guts, so expecting a good support was, I suppose, somewhat unrealistic on my behalf!!
But as I mentioned, about half way through the night, luckily a nomadic tribe of what could of been students, or at least dodgy Edge types, saved the evening, even if it did mean scrapping the rest of the set!! Plenty of booze, dancing and frivolity was had by all in support, and there went another night, as well as a few more brain cells in the process!
