      Comments Off on Music – “Monumentally Masterful Mix” – Steve Pitron ~ Matinee BOOM!! – Sunday 26th January – Podcast & Track(s) of The Week

When a phenomenal podcast comes along of this monumental magnitude, it is pretty much a given that it sweeps all the compilation competition aside, but when each & every track enthrals us with emotional enthusiasm, we are left with no alternative to let it steal both the podcast & track of the week limelight, Steve Pitron’s “Matinee Boom!!” mix doing just that, we delving into the detail of this colossal composition & its towering tunes.

Steve Pitron 3In a week dominated by one phenomenal production that totally eclipsed a number of releases that were tempting our selection taste buds, we find that the nominations we had already made for our podcast & track of the week choices both in our head & on paper as we headed home from Paris on Monday, have needed to be parked for a further seven days, as a colossal composition along with a whole collection of towering tunes has steamrolled everything else. And given the might of the Matinee inspired mixes we had in mind, it had to be a podcast of monumental proportions to topple the likes of Taito Tikaro, Flavio Zarza & Lydia Sanz, and it could only be one person up to the job, a man that has been heading happenings across the capital for as long as we know, from the his early days at Crash through the whole history of Beyond & plenty more besides. Plus whenever he releases a podcast, it feels like the biggest news on the planet (well at least in our world), the fever pitch pandemonium that fervent followers in their 1000’s fall into while clamouring for a copy is of epic proportions.

Steve Pitron 5Yes, it’s a Steve Pitron podcast we are referring to and after a drought of no less than eight months since his last release, this new production has been probably the most eagerly anticipated & patiently awaited one yet, although like us, it seems that he has found his form in this early stage of the new year, hitting the ground running with what we can firstly describe as THE most energetic & pacey podcast of his we have ever seen. Indeed, while he has the incurable knack of picking an opening track to set the mix mood, this time round he really has hit our button with a bang, or should we say “BOOM!!”, as Steve has devoted this first of (we hope) two, three or even four 2014 productions to Matinee, pretty much sweeping aside the competition, the likes of Fabio Luigi, Tom Stephan & even Lydia Sanz standing spellbound in this phenomenal Pitron podcast wake. But where were we?, oh yes, that opening track, the sirens signalling something quite special, to Harazzo’s “Medusa” very much setting  the tone for a ton of towering tracks that pack out the sixty eight sizzling & magnificent minutes of this masterful mix.

With that outstanding opener setting the scene, the following fifteen storming Pitron picks leave our head spinning, our heart pumping & our emotions running, the likes of David Penn, Freddie Le Grand, Criminal Vibes & Johan Newman all vying for our adoring attention, each & every one of them worthy contenders for an track of the week selection in isolation, but when you put them up against the might of “You Used To Hold Me” by The Hoxton Whores vs. D.J. PP & Jerome Robins, the path for our “Track of The Week” choice has been made clear, this version a tempered one compared that that on the Pitron podcast

 Steve employing his superlative skills in sampling one track over the other & back again, brilliantly blending in both Mr Penn’s “A Different Story” & Mr Le Grand’s Metrum” so magnificently that it makes for a most completing & unique combination of oose bump proportions, However, there is no let up as a truly towing yet exhausting first thirty minutes sees Taito Tikaro, Flavio Zarza & Jason Chance show their heavenly house music hands, before, as he did with the opener, Steve shoots another barnstorming Hazarro mix across our bow, this time the simply spectacular “Spread Love”

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.
