Well, what a month it has been in Disco Matt land, first the flu & then a nasty ear infection that has left us most out of sorts, although it hasn’t stopped us getting out & about on the scene, and when we haven’t, recommending the places to be & be seen. So as the first month of 2011 draws… Read more »

Club Review – “Citric Colossus” – Orange WE Afterparty – Monday 3rd January

      Comments Off on Club Review – “Citric Colossus” – Orange WE Afterparty – Monday 3rd January

We look back over the years and find a whole host of clubs that have become bywords for hedonism, for decadent behaviour and outright debauchery, Trade probably heading a cast that includes FF, Sherbert, Warriors & Medikation in pushing the boundaries of normality and sending us into clubbing territory that we never thought we would tread.

Of all the venues currently on the circuit in the capital, Area seems to fit us like a glove more than any other, as not only does its history hold magical memories for us, not least through the early days of just plain old Area in the hands of Crash supremo Wayne Shires, probably our most respected & revered club… Read more »

      Comments Off on Music Is The Answer Special – “Die-Cast Disco Duo” – Brent Nicholls Bio & Disco Matt “Dance-tastic” Mix – Wednesday 19th January

Over the years (and it has been more than a few!) we have been very fortunate to have met & be-friended a whole host of D.J.’s, some encounters stretching back to the early days of Trade, when we first hit the clubbing capital, others nurtured during the magical years when Crash ruled the underground club scene, but many more in… Read more »
