Christ on a bike! Is it really Wednesday already? Well they say time flies when you're having fun, eh? I reckon I must be close to using up my entire annual quota for weekend fun after that one! Absolutely awesome from start to finish.
After the gig I headed up to the GRV for another cracking night from Club For Heroes, Djs Jamie Spectrum, Simonotron, Honey Sweetcheekz and the Dapper Dan guys played amazing sets of old and new disco mashed up with funk, house and shades of techno. A wicked live set from Glasgow
Back in Glasgow for Saturday night which was a bit of a first for me as I made my first visit to the legendary Supermax night at The Brunswick Hotel. Upstairs in the main bar Craig "Moogroove" Thompson kept things fresh with a set of awesome deep Nu-disco tracks from labels like Disco Deviance and Tirk before finishing with one of my all time faves The Joubert Singers' Stand On The Word which never fails to make even the most miserable people smile.
Then we were hearded downstairs to the dark and smokey confines of the Supermax basement where disco wizard Billy Woods was rocking his resident crowd of fashionistas and hedonists with a fantastic set of sexually charged techno, funk, acidhouse bluesy rock and proper disco. I've been to many different nights at The Brunswick over the past 18 months but never anything like Supermax. The sound, lighting or rather lack of it, the smoke and the really diverse and friendly crowd make it a world away from most other nights there. You tend to forget where you are and get a bit disorientated. Its more like a party in the Red Room in Twin Peaks . I kept half expecting a backwards talking dwarf to appear and start chatting to me about jazz records and Laura Palmer. The music was amazing all night and the surreality of it just knocked me for six so i can't wait till next month's episode.
Sunday started off at about 2pm with a text informing me that a queue was already forming outside the Sub Club for the last ever Optimo Espacio party. After finally checking it out last week i really didn't want to miss the finale as i knew it was gonna be one of those "moments in pop history" events. After a quick shower and some food i headed over to Jamaica Street
As tension mounted outside over the 8pm queueing deadline, i managed to get to the bar and order a pint but after just 4 gulps of it the stampede had begun as practically every punter in the building made their break for the door to join the queue outside. It was only 7.40 but by 7.45 well over 500 people had already formed a line to the Subby's front door and still they kept coming. By 8pm the queue had stretched all the way round the corner to the Arches.
The atmosphere was totally charged as excitement and anticipation grew as fast as the queue itself. I'd managed to find some friends up near the front of the queue and muscled in to 78th posistion in the line. At 8pm a red Audi estate pulled into the lay-by next to us and out stepped Optimo's resident heroes Keith "JD Twitch" McIvor and Johnny Wilkes. The cheer that greeted them from the crowd was like something you'd hear at a cup final. Utter adoration from their incredibly loyal fans. It was an emotional moment alright and both Keith and Johnny looked completely humbled by it.
Extra speaker stacks had been brought in especially as well as loads of unbelievable lighting effects and big tv screens for visuals. I've never heard the Sub Club sound or look anywhere near as good! At just after 4am when the final track had ended the cheers were louder than ever and what a moment of sheer joy at being a part of something we all knew was huge and would be remembered for a long time. There was also a deep sadness that Optimo was gone forever but as Nina sang just moments earlier, "It's a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me....And I'm feeling good!" The Optimo team will continue running Sundays at The Sub Club but Twitch and Wilkes will no longer be tied to Djing there every week. They have many other exciting projects to get into now they have a bit more free time but as Johnny stated right at the end "Glasgow is the best place to play in the world and there's no way they could ever give it up entirely!"
So its out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new time so lets have a gander at what the coming weekend has in store for us. This weekend look's set to be a little bit quieter as there doesn't seem to be much on on Friday. However, its Mayday Bank holiday weekend so there's lots of good stuff happening on Saturday and Sunday is also jam packed full of great parties.
FRIDAY 30th APRIL 2010
on Leith 98.8fm
On this weeks show John Gerrard lays down a storming set in the first hour demonstrating the skills that earned him one of the biggest cheers at last weekend's Unique Beats event in Edinburgh. The second hour will be handed over to the Flow Management crew from Slovenia with another tech-house and minimal set from Alexander Madness. Here's a wee bio on the man himself.
Alexander Madness
“Music is movement, variation, imagination and eternity. In other words: the future of sustainable energy. As a DJ I try to transfer and receive that form of energy from and to the people on the dance floor - mixing minimal techno tracks with electro house floor fillers. For the rough cases I always carry progressive and electro tracks in my DJ bag.”
Alexander Madness (AM) discovered daylight in 1978 in Koper, Slovenia. Already his mother knew that music is going to be one of his main interests: As a kid he always liked to stand in front of roaring speakers. Before diving into the universe of electronic music, Alexander was listening to rock, pop and all the other genres that are usually popular among the youth.
"I first got to feel the magic of electronic music in 1996, when sounds of fast hardcore hit my ears. Because that kind of music was rare at that time, I soon switched to slower rhythms of chemical progressive."
In 1998, AM first stepped behind the decks and immediately felt the connection – and it’s still lasting. Like any other DJ he realized that the beginnings were not easy. His first gigs were played at local bars and private parties, but his technique evolved within years, as did his passion for the music.
In the past years he was switching from one e-genre to another until he really got into techno, which he still prefers. He plays mostly minimal/techno but in his DJ case you’ll also find progressive and electro/house tracks.
He has been playing in all the major and recognized clubs, such as Ambasada Gavioli, Lipa, SubSub, K4,The Temple, Fun Academy, Oxygen, Netopir, The Club, The Cube, Channel Zero, Playtime, Forest, Tivoli, Arcade, Culture club and many more. He participated also on Final Flash, Fetique-Boutique,Maximal, Astrodisco, Born to be Wild, The way of Freedom and Sound Of Summer events.
AM is currently making a real name for himself. His productions have found him fans that include the likes of Umek, Marco Carola, Pedro Delgardo, Tomcraft, Wehbba, Tomy DeClerque, Dyno, Laurent Garnier, Tomcraft, Riccardo Ferri, Thomas Krome, Jan Nemecek, Piatto, dA frESh, Robert Leiner, Markantonio, Maverickz and many more.
Throughout his eleven years run and after AM’s guest appearances in numerous venues in Slovenia & Croatia, AM has also shared the spotlight with some of the industries best DJ’s. Some of his collaborations include artists such as Valentino Kanzyani, Andy Moor, The Filterheadz, Richard Bartz, Len Faki, Bryan Cox, Oxia, Joris Voorn, Matthew Dekay, Seamus Haji, Criss Source, Danilo Vigorito, dA frESh, Mashtronic, Electrixx, Ade Fanton, Virgin Helena, Paul Hazendonk, Petar Dundov, Jamie Bissmire and many more.
He aims high and as written in the biography "beginnings were not easy..", but it is already obvious, after all these years, that e-music is the thing that keeps him going.

Goes Live
@ The GRV, Hasties Close
(Off Guthrie Street Edinburgh
In Edinburgh
Headlining the live section this month are Alfonzo who absolutely rocked the roof off last time they played at JTB back in July of last year. Hailing from nearby Portabello, the Alfonzo four piece have been busy in the studio recently and have just released their first single "Blind As Faith". They recently played at Sneaky Pete's as part of the one day Edinburgh
The Set Up are an Edinburgh based four piece whose blend of blues, rock and folk and really stunning 3 part harmonies seperates them from the rest of the pack. Their catchy riffs, and signature hooks always captures their audience's imagination and they utilise electric guitars, acoustic guitars and piano based melodies to devastating effect. So far they've had tracks played on various national radio stations including Radio One and BBC Radio Scotland Scotland
The High Lines are another Edinburgh Edinburgh and recently played at the legendary Dublin Castle venue in London
Green Man Running are another band who have played JTB before and after their impressive set last year look forward to rocking the crowd again with a set of filthy basslines, catchy riffs and stomping beats. They're one of the most highly talked about bands in the city at the minute and well worth a look.
Kicking off the event will be The Ragged Army. Comprised of former members of the Romany Rogues, these guys bring a mixed bag of folk, rock and psychedelia to JTB with a predominantly accoustic sound.
After Alfonzo the Jam The Box residents take over the main room 'pon their hallowed wheels of steel. Meanwhile Roscodisco looks after the bar area.
Doors open at 7pm and close at 3am. Entry just £6 all night which is a total bargain for so much great music.
@ Cabaret Voltaire,
36 Blair Street , Edinburgh
Also in Edinburgh Milton Milton as the most exciting thing to happen to UK
By 2006 he'd formed a new relationship with Jimpsters Freerange label where he teamed up with another deep house supremo Shur-i-khan. together they released "I Want It" and "Special Powers". Further eps followed fro the likes of Tsuba, Crack And Speed, Silver Network and Icon.
2007 saw the release of Cycles, a deep driving and beautifully melodic track. It was voted a top ten track of the year by listeners of the Buzzing Fly Radio show. It was at this time that his dj gig schedule really started to get busy as bookings started coming in from all over the world, from Tresor in Berlin to Womb in Tokyo , from Anzu in Brazil to 360 in Dubai and a very special live performance in front of 7000 people at Sonar in Barcelona
In 2008 he released Ghosts In My Machines. his most successful single to date which became a huge hit at the Miami Winter Music Conference that year. It was the years biggest selling deep house track on Beatport and won him the Beatport -best deep house single award. He was ranked as the third best deep house producer on the planet after Jimpster and Dennis Ferrer. His second album Crash which came out on Freerange gained him even more plaudits. It was described as "darkly, tech edged, deep house, adding judicious samples of exotica and sci-fi effects to laudibly clean, moodily funky effect." by uncut magazine and "Reinvents house music for the future / where electronic house music melts into the darker machinations of the techno spectrum." by DJ Magazine.
2009 saw him win the best deephouse dj in the DJ Mag Awards. 2010 sees his schedule still packed full of globetrotting dates. He's also just started working on another LP for Freerange which looks set for a release early next year. He's also busy with a new label which he and Shur-i-khan have started called Dark Energy.
Korova
Conspiracy
@ The Reading Rooms, Dundee .
Up in Dundee The Korova Conspiracy guys are lookin forward to a massive night with Leftside Wobble aka Jonathan Moore at the Reading Rooms.
In the past 12 months Moore 's Leftside Wobble alias has gained significant attention the length and breadth of the UK
His edits are an absolute joy to the eclectic ear as well and no two are the same. From his rework of The Beatles's Tomorrow Never Knows to a personal fave of mine Curtis Mayfield's Hell Below, his masterful skill in dissecting a truly stunning piece of classic, contemporary music, coupled with his remarkable ability to sew the pieces back together, to form a fresh and more up to date sounding track which will work on a modern dancefloor, is almost unparralled. Topping over a hundred thousand downloads and gaining support from the likes of Ashley Beadle, Greg Wilson, Rob Da Bank, Mr Scruff and Luke Unabomber its no wonder the guy is hot property right now.
Although Leftside Wobble is a relatively new name on the dj circuit Moore has been djing since the early acid house boom around 1988. He was a regular at Paul Oakenfold's parties in London
This will be the first time he's played in Dundee and The Korova camp are extremely excited about this event which will see him play a solid 3 hour set. Support in the main Room will come from Baxter P Sunbather whilst room 2 will see Hometown Hifi and Dean Boogie joined by Ediburgh's Blonde Flash who's renowned for her Paradise Garage/Studio 54 inspired sets of classic disco, funk, hip hop and soul. As its a bank holiday this weekend The Reading rooms will open from 9.30pm - 3.30am and entry for the event costs £12.
Check out Korova Conspiracy's blog for more tasty mixes and related titbits.
For some of Leftside Wobbles amazing tracks have a gander at his Soundcloud.
SUNDAY 2nd MAY 2010
@ The Big Joint, South Street, Scotstoun, Glasgow
This Sunday sees the first of Million Dollar Disco's intimate summer parties at one of Glasgow's coolest and most underground venues out on the northwestern edge of the city. Big boss man, disco evangelist, Al Kent will be joined by one of the finest disco jockeys on the planet who helped him kick start the Million Dollar Disco parties way back at the beginning.
Chicago, Illinois's Rahaan has been dropping disco and funky house beats to retro music heads since the 80s when he and his friends used to hang out at the Windy City's best parties. This background in spinning tunes alongside some of the best Djs from the city has certainly paid off for him. He's now a very much in demand dj around the world and an excellent producer and re-editer in his own right with eps out on Stillove4music and KAT labels. After a few years away from home, living in Wisconsin, he moved back to Chicago with his ever growing collection of proper disco records. During the nineties he moved quickly up through the citys dj ranks as one of the elite disco/house djs, playing at clubs such as The Spot, The Loft parties, Sisters Of Vision and Soul In The Hole and eventually a residency at Chicago's premier club venue The Buddha Lounge. By the turn of the millenium he'd started producing tracks for his own collection, exclusives that he could play out. These tracks brought him to the attention of Fourplay Records who immediately signed him up and released his first big hits "Coming Hard" and "No Time For Love". Since then he's compiled and mixed many djmixes for other labels as well as releasing loads of original tracks which have in turn brought him to the attention of other record labels.
His skill on the turntables has propelled him out of the Chicago underground circuit and onto the global stage. His first appearance here in Glasgow at the first Million Dollar Disco party at the Big Joint was something quite extraordinary. Rahaan almost literally blew the roof off. So many people turned up to hear him play that the venue clear ran out of drink!
He's djd at some of the best black music parties around the world and is a regular feature on the bill at the legendary Southport Weekender. He's played in Glasgow numerous times now the last time being at Electric Frog Street Carnival at the tail end of last summer. His Dj sets are always very well received here and this looks set to be another roadblock event
Rahaan will be supported by one of Glasgow's premier Disco Jockeys and the man behind The Million Dollar Disco, Al Kent. Kent's passion for black music stems from a very early age. After discovering the Tamla Motown label on a shopping trip to Tesco with his parents back in the early 70s he became hooked immediately, head over heels in love with the sounds of Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Marvelettes and The Miracles.
A few years later by now in his teens he began to meet other people who shared his love of black music. They began to hang out at Northern Soul parties and events. By the age of fifteen, he and some close friends hire a local community hall and some turntables to throw their own party. This would be the first time that he made people dance by playing his records. He liked that feeling of making people happy with music. He liked that feeling a lot.
Over the next few years he began to get gigs playing his records in proper nightclubs and getting paid for it! He also kept on doing the occasional community hall parties, which soon really took off and became all nighters with guest djs playing too. Eventually he found himself touring all over the country attending parties, djing at parties and generally spending most of his money on records. He soon discovered the disco music of the 70s and became even more hooked and began collecting these bigger 12" maxi discs.
Later still a man named Yogi Haughton exposed Al to a new sound, a bit more electronic driven than the disco and soul he'd heard previously. This new sound was house music and once again he found himself blown away by the power of it. Soon he was collecting and playing these new house tracks out on a regular basis and getting paid quite well from his art. But eventually the old disco records crept back into his sets until he realised he was pretty bored of the newer house sound and that Disco was his true love.
Years later Al started the Million Dollar Disco label to put out his own disco edits and remixes, then after, realising that he wanted to make proper, original disco tracks from scratch instead of using the house music production techniques of sampling and cutting up old tunes. He enlisted the help of some real musicians and formed his own Milion Dollar Disco Orchestra. The project took nearly three years to complete but eventually an album titled "Better Days" was released on BBE records.
Al's skills as a dj have earned him huge respect from some of the best people in the business and he's regularly invited to play at parties like Southport Weekender, where last year he was asked to play in the main 2000 capacity room for the first time. Last year he also released another album called Secret Sounds again on BBE. Its a slightly more stripped down affair than MDO was, utilising a few of the old house music production techniques but mastered in a totally analogue studio to give it a nice organic feel.
This event promises secret sounds galore as Al and Rahaan show off their finest and most prized records from their collections. Expect real rarities and incredible re-edits of old favourites as they go head to head educate and entertain you in equal measures.
Tickets will sell out for this. The only way to guarantee entry is to book your place on the list in advance. Send £10 per person via paypal to info@milliondollardisco.com. Doors open 11pm - 4am
At the time i'm writing this there are less than ten tickets left. Big Joint capacity is limited to only 100 so this will be an amazingly intimate event!
Kitty Kat Klub
@The Universal, 57 Sauchiehaul Street Lane, Glasgow
The Kitty Kat Klub returns to The Universal on Sunday for a bank holiday special and they've put together a crackin line up of djs for you so if you can't get along to Million Dollar Disco this will make a fantastic alternative.
Joining residents Craig Moogroove and Bosco in the main room will be Dublin's Marcus Lambkin aka Shit Robot. Signed to the rather exquisite DFA Recordings label out of NYC, Shit Robot's sound can be describes as spacey, elctronic funk with its roots in disco but adding classic touches of chicago house along the way.
Since moving to NYC in 1992 Marcus started up a weekly Sunday party with some friends playing electronic dance music in a predominantly rock music venue called Brownies. He then made 3 mixtapes which he sent out to other venues in the hope of getting more work. Two of those venues offered him residencies, one of which was the now legendary Save The Robots night, where he was a resident for 2 years. It was here where he met fellow irishman Dominic Keegan with whom he founded Plant Records and P lant Bar which would be named the coolest and loudest bar in NYC by Face magazine in October 2002. Here he started the Shit Robot parties with DFA's James Murphy. They named the night after James's rather rubbish drawing of a robot. He left Plant Music in 2004 and he and his wife moved to Stuttgart. In 2006 he released the Wrong Galaxy/Triumph ep. He's been touring all over the world ever since and has released loads of other gret tracks, many of which you can find on his myspace.
This event will also feature a second room with another favourite dj of mine, Kev Stevens, playing alongside Kitty Kat debutante Rebecca Vasmant.
Entry to this party is £10 and doors open 11pm - 3am.
