Papa - Easter PosterWith London clubland generally exploding into extravagant action whenever there is a bank holiday, with Easter boasting two, it doesn’t take much to get even the most sluggish out circulating the scene, but when you add an amazing & colossal clubbing conglomerate come collective into the mix, the result is generally resplendently rapturous drawing out party people that would otherwise be curled up on the couch. And this Easter looks like returning exactly the same result as massive meet “As One” rolls out its Easter Festival, stringing together a seven strong event schedule and pulling in some of the world’s biggest & best brands, three headline events the meat in this year’s “As One” sandwich, Israeli incumbent “Papa” securing the Saturday slot, while the first one to watch is the first foray as splendid Spanish superclub “WE Party” make a triumphant return to The Coronet in Elephant & Castle, the latest theme being “Superboys”, their trademark visuals, The Week - Easter PosterLED installations & stage shows sure to sparkle as much as the huge hit “President” which captivated the clubbing circuit just three weeks ago. However, the one that looks like even eclipsing the wonder of WE is Brazilian brand “The Week” which while also taking over The Coronet, offers so much more of a spectacle, its themed party “Toy Candy” seeing the venue transformed into a huge fairground, with acrobats & aerial displays aplenty, while we are promised that you will actually be able to take to a real life carousel as well as other fun favourites in this indoor fairground of a feature, as well as dancing away till dawn to scintillating sounds from superstar Steve Pitron, joined by “The Week” Brazil resident Leandro Bekker, along with fellow Brazilian Arnoldo Novais & local lad Matt Bogard. Running on Sunday (27th March) from 11 pm until 7 am, head “As One” promoter Mauricio Ortiz celebrating his birthday, “Toy Candy” is sure to top the weekend partying ratings, more info on this up at events page while below is a rundown on all seven of this exceptional & fabulous “As One” Easter Festival which rightly deserves its place in our Pick Of The Week slot.

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.
