New Report On The Block

For a while now we have been thinking about creating a post that reports back to you on how the week’s bar, club & events scene in the capital played out, sharing the hits, the highlights, the movers, the shakers & much in between, also looking at those we recommended & others that you made your own way to, as well as those we headed to as well. Moreover, we have wanted to fill the gap between our up front recommends reports & our post party reviews, as well as complimenting our “nibble sized review tweets”, our “bite sized review reflections”, thus completing the full picture. Now we needed to settle on a name for this our new report and  is so often the case with us, our initial inspiration was the one we decided upon, “That Was The Week That Was”, whilst quite a mouthful, very much summing up what this addition to our reporting family is all about.

 

So, what about the detail of this weekly roundup? Well, first & foremost, we will aim to deliver our “That Was The Week That Was” report to you each Wednesday, picking up events & happenings across the previous seven days (that is Wed to Tues) and in so doing pick up a host of happenings that tend to miss our Weekend Focus and Best Bites & Short Shouts recommends radar, but nevertheless play an important part in making up what is this superb scene of our here in the capital. This weekly report will also touch on the latest bar, club & events news, including launches, new ventures, changes & the like, this on top of recapping on events we may have already both nibble sized tweeted & bite sized reflected on.

Now, the aim of “That Was The Week That Was” is to be punchy & to the point, although we will also be picking our moment of the week, our tune of the week & our tweet of the week. But, what we cannot aim or wish to do is cover everything, although that said, the one way to make sure your favourite bar, club or event gets a mention, is by dropping us an e-mail at matt@discomatt.com or popping a comment on our Facebook wall at http://facebook.com/discomattlondon, failing which you can  tweet us (nibble sized of course) at http://twitter.com/discomatt.

And kicking off the series will be a spring bank holiday special, looking back over the colossal weekend that started for many at Room Service, Gigolo Shadow Lounge or Gravity (to mention a few) and ended with Booster, Barcode or Popcorn with much in between. So, our first post “Supersize Sweets” is already in the making & will be coming your way in the next few hours, right here at http://discomatt.com/web/reports, and with much to cheer about, make sure you check it out to see if it was WE that was wonderful, Beyond that was brilliant, SuperMartXe that was spectacular, As One that was amazing, Salvation that was stunning, or something else that stole the spring bank holiday show. Plus, with our weekly moments, tracks & tweets picks, this will be THE report to see what rocked & rolled both ours and your worlds. (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.
