Reports – “Awkward At Area” – Lovechild Presents Muscle – Saturday 19th March – Preview The Review

      Comments Off on Reports – “Awkward At Area” – Lovechild Presents Muscle – Saturday 19th March – Preview The Review

Welcome to the latest edition in our increasingly popular series, where we take a bite sized look at club experiences fresh in our minds, in advance of the full length review, this time we going to print as rapidly as possible on Lovechild’s latest party, which we think has marked a tide change in the brands positioning in the capital, why?, well…..

Trying to hit the ground running after a three week vacation in unforgettable & sunny South Africa was always going to be a hard task and it seemed that Lovechild’s latest incarnation, “Muscle”, would, in the seemingly last minute shift from its latest & recognised home Fire to sister club Area, would prove a notable nemesis, not least as right from the off, everything felt a bit on the back foot. But in true Disco Matt style, we made the most of a muddled meet, taking advantage of a show stopping set from the new to Lovechild, Marco Gee, who had The Chapel Room (yes we know that’s a Beyond phrase!) packed & pumping with a glorious collection of new tunes & older tracks rehashed (very vogue!). And the experience was made all the more pleasant by the company of his boyf & by another D.J’s boyf, namely Tom Marchant,  the excitement only getting better when the man, Nick Tcherniak, arrived, which always spells trouble if not plenty of hilarity. So, he wasn’t going to disappoint in this respect, remarking “oh I get the theme, Muscle, now”, as we starred at testosterone & steroid pumped men on the podiums, this innocent remark reducing us to fits of laughter which then laid siege for the rest of the night. But, hilarity aside, there was nothing much else to smile about, as the main room opened late, Lizzie France’s PA performance was good but not great, and it seemed everyone was a bit bamboozled with being in Area rather than Fire. That said, Mattias ended the night in superb style, although by this time, it was Beyond & not Lovechild that was stealing the limelight. Competing with Megawoof & a free party, both at Fire, was “Muscle’s” biggest obstacle and one that was never going to shift, so with much more to say its “Ready Steady Go For The Review”.

About discomatt

The History........................................................Created in 2008 after a short period of blogging under his real name, the pseudonym, “Disco Matt”, was born on the back of a reputation for being London’s original party boy having partied and clubbed across the London gay scene since in mid 1990’s.........................................................Through his series of blogs via individual blogging pages which soon morphed into a full blown website (http://discomatt.com), Disco Matt established himself as an independent journalist come columnist who quickly gained a reputation for supporting & promoting one of the world’s most prolific clubbing scenes. He previewed, reviewed & recommended London gay clubs, as well as the diverse gay/metrosexual London club/bar culture, linking to & reviewing the scene top D.J.’s and generally covering the gay scene including international gay events....................................................Regularly reporting on the top events across the scene, Disco Matt’s reviews, over the years, developed a strong following, not just by clubbers, D.J’s, promoters, music producers & scene faces, but people far and wide that were looking for an insight to the incredible scene that was London. He also previewed upcoming events that signalled, either a major change or update of existing clubs, new ventures on the gAylist/metrosexual scene, or where he considered events that deserved more comprehensive coverage to that provided in other posts.............................................However, having pretty much reached the top of his game in his chosen specific field, due to a number of personal predicaments, challenges & changes in his life priorities, Disco Matt parked his writing and operation in February 2014. While the burning desire to continue remained, what this much needed period of inactivity did provide was the time & space to re-think & re-focus his activities on a broader spectrum of media and entertainment............................................................So, following this long two year lay-off, he built up the foundations for this diversification into the areas of film, theatre, radio & television where his reviewing, recommending & reporting was to be replicated & resurrected, also pointing his promotions through more visuals & video's linked to all these areas along with his core activities and passions ................................................................................The Present....................................After another (shorter) period of lay-off from mid 2016, a life changing event reignited his passion and early into 2017, Disco Matt has delivered on his promise for a new, more modern look to his website, shedding the old & tired skin in favour of something far more in keeping with the times and with his blogging roots. And he has waived a fond farewell to his clubbing days, this having also been ditched from his site & activity, rather now just focussing on the genres of film, theatre, radio, television, video and of course, music, in so doing, aiming to broaden his appeal to a much wider audience interested in the latest most cutting edge areas of media & entertainment.............................................................................His aim is to be highly regarded across the industry for his writing in these fields and ultimately become a full time critic in film &/or theatre.
