Picks – “Braving With Bruises” – Beyond – Sunday 29th April – Pick Of The Day

      Comments Off on Picks – “Braving With Bruises” – Beyond – Sunday 29th April – Pick Of The Day

Having made the grade on so many occasions & on so many levels, Disco Matt couldn’t help but hit on Beyond as his pick of the day for today (Sun 29th April), all the detail a banner selection away opposite or an image click below, while DM pitches a personal prologue before Jonny Marsh delivers the detail beneath.

 

 

Disco Matt say’s of Beyond & its star turn…

 

It is no secret that the brilliance of Beyond has crammed our clubbing cavorting pretty much from day one back in 2001, we having followed its fortunes each & every step of the way, meaning that even the incredible influence that Trade had on us, has paled into the background compared to the colossus that is this awesome afterhours, a cabinet full of awards, trips around the globe, features on radio stations & much much more part of this club’s crescendo of a C.V. And in Area, its hallowed turf of a home, Beyond has gone from strength to strength, riding a wave crest that, despite our suggestions to the contrary a week ago, has hardly come into shore in the five years it has held sway there, this video evidence of the majesty of this magnificent meet.

Then there are the people connected with this awesome achiever, a whole host of prolific players & characters combining to make Beyond a weekly wonder like no other we know, tipping every single scale with striking significance & very much earning the rapturous reputation that “…all clubbing roads lead to it’s doors…”, . And of these awesome people achievers, we rate most highly the following; Mikey D, Jamie Head, Hifi Sean, Gonzalo Rivas, The Oli, The Sharp Boys & Fat Tony, of course not forgetting Tom Fuller without whom Beyond is never quite beyond. But then there is Steve Pitron, a name synonymous with the brand, having been its running mate from the very first party & for whom we have so many mesmeric memories to draw upon, not least those now trademark tearful emotional eruptions along with the resplendent rollercoaster rides he sends us on each & every time he plays. So, as we nurse our wounds, brace our bruises & temper our tears, come 8 a.m., we will be steeping out on our spot to his superb sounds, a selection from his prolific Jan 2012 podcast (click on the image to stream) sure to feature, meaning come Sunday morning music in his heavenly hands will definitely be the answer.

 

Jonny Marsh (with a little help from DM) says of this week’s party…

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.
