Press Releases – “Soaring Sunday Soiree” – RISE – Sunday 30th June – P.R. Preview & Event Feature

      Comments Off on Press Releases – “Soaring Sunday Soiree” – RISE – Sunday 30th June – P.R. Preview & Event Feature

Rounding off what is certainly already looking like a superbly successful London Gay Pride weekend of partying, three club promoters are coming together to throw a free frolic showcasing a spectacular new clubbing colossus in the centre of the capital, we propelling the pomp & circumstance P.R. as well as orating our own opinion on this gathering gamble.

RiseWhile we always welcome new clubbing concepts with open arms, our support for certain promoter’s projects knowing no bounds, but in this latest expeditionary event we cannot help but feeling a sense of déjà-vous as it is pretty evident that the relentless desire to stage a stand-out Sunday soiree in central London shows no signs of waning, despite a string of recent failures come flops. Indeed, while we would be the first in yearning to see those halcyon days of Salvation, Factor 25 & DTPM return, the fact remains that the clubbing face of London has changed considerably and trying to turn back the clock has thus far proven fruitless, the fickle nature that is a feature of the scene in London, somehow laying siege to any sort of seventh day shindig that sets to recapture the charms of centralised capital clubbing in an effort to offer something other than the same old south London old (you know which “old” we mean).  

 

Yet, unless we are reading badly between the lines, that is exactly what “Rise” is setting out to do, a new Sunday soiree that launches in London next weekend (Sun 30th June) at the latest in a line of venues at No. 1 Leicester Square, that previously proven fatal word “Free” being broadsided with gay abandon, although flipping the sentiment coin, we take our hats off to the promoters for handing out “…a huge thank you to everyone for making London Pride a landmark event again…” in what is surely a golden handshake happening & possibly a gathering gamble that hangs in the pay-off balance. However, our opinion aside, “Rise” is certainly a welcome addition to the London Gay Pride 2013 partying package, we now letting the positive P.R. doing the rest of the talking while we wish all concerned every inch of the best with this new night in town.

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.
