We Are The Mods

It seems an absolute age since we tripped across to Fire on a Sunday afternoon, the host venue for the craziness that is Later, the natural follow on from Beyond, serving up the option of dancing in the dark (ish) or socialising in the sunshine, well at least when the sun is shining! But with the Easter weekend weather being nothing less than glorious (what a fabulous change!) the thought of combing stints of spinning to some scintillating sounds with that superb sunshine socialising was too much to resist, although we decided on the Monday option, being the second Later outing of the weekend & right after an outstanding Orange event that kept us enticed right till the end. So, having popped home for a quick refresh, we landed on Fire at just turned 3 a.m. to find an outside area brimming with party people soaking up the wonderful weather, while inside the dancefloor was also rammed, Paul Heron perfecting plumes of pumping progressive house hits that were going down a storm. However, searching for our Cougar clubbing pal Stephen, we eventually found him slumped on a seat outside, the ravages of an exceptionally hot SuparMartXe having taken its toll on him, although after lots of chit chat & meeting with friends & familiar faces, including Orange’s exceptional promoter Steven Sharp, we gathered ourselves for a more lengthy boogie, this time to the genius of George Sharp who, like he did in Orange earlier, delivered a dream of a set, old classics mixed in with new beats that kept us cavorting in our spot by the D.J. booth for the majority of his set. Mind you with the outside still teaming with tottie, a further respite was in order before the final foray which proved the most fruitful as Gonzalo was on spectacular song, hitting our sweet musical spots with track after tremendous track, the finale of “Here Comes The Rain” receiving resounding raptures, not least from female friend Sophie Pearson who had us in stitches with a couple of classic lines, while Cougar Stephen was also on claw clenching form too. So, with so much more to lament about Later, its “…ready, steady, go for the review…” (DISCO MATT)

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.
