Recommends – “London Leads Again” – WE Party “Bitch On The Beach” – Saturday 6th October – Weekend Focus

      Comments Off on Recommends – “London Leads Again” – WE Party “Bitch On The Beach” – Saturday 6th October – Weekend Focus

Having led the way with incarnations, Safari & Fluro this year alone, London does it again as it plays host to the premiere of WE party’s latest themed incarnation “Bitch On The Beach”, DM delivering a revised recommends format feature, including press release extracts, video clips & images, while also delivering his dinky detail in this exceptional event taking place this coming Saturday.

 

 

There can be no doubt that the Spanish influence on the capitals clubbing circuit has been considerable in recent years, brands such as Matinee, Space, SuperMartXe & La Troya all making their mark to some degree or another, while the wonderment that is WE has, in our eyes, had the most momentous impact for a number of reasons, the formula of fun having caught clubbers imaginations from that first outing in London back in December 2010. And since that time, the Spanish promotions team have rated the capital & host venue The Coronet as second only to La Riviera in Madrid, no mean feat considering WE as a brand has touched four continents in its relatively short history, taking in a veritable feast of venues & cities in its now famed “On Tour” programme of which London is a part although is now recognised as one of the major playing fields for WE outside of Spain. So, choosing the capital to launch new party themes has come easy to WE promoter Victor Pallas & his team, this Saturday once again proving another premiere feather in the London cap and one the Orange group, organisers of events here & behind brands such as Beyond, A:M, Later, Gravity & Onyx, while Latino hit Casalatina is another in a substantial stable that also includes the franchise for Matinee, one which to some has a conflict of interest taint, but seems to sit comfortably with these Spanish compatriot clubbing conglomerations.

 

So with the prelude painted the link to the Orange Group leads neatly to their published PR on this latest WE event in London, the team saying of “Bitch On The Beach” of the latest incarnation “…The WE Bitches are back with another high production party ready to tear up London’s massive Coronet Theatre with a trashy and fabulously over the top party. WE Is THE biggest clubbing brand in London and one of the biggest in the world – packing out the biggest and best festivals, clubs and parties in every major city. The WE special guest DJ will be joined by our all star WE London DJ team, plus an army of gogos on stage, in custom outfits fresh from Madrid and Barcelona, plus all the special FX, visuals, LED screens and more that you’ve come to expect from WE. So come and re-live the summer festival days with our in-door beach party spectacular..”. And since that initial press release, D.J.’s on duty have been confirmed as Spanish WE resident Manuel de Diego, headlining, joined by London all-stars Jamie Head, D’Johnny & Steve Pitron, while as usual, the team are keep much of the production detail tucked up their sleeves, although rocket science aside, we would think that beach wear will be the order of the day, while the now trademark LED displays will be the most prominent feature of the stage shows.

 

Now, for those of you that haven’t yet taken in a WE Party here in London (just where have you been), this tempting teaser of a video should give you a flavour of what host venue The Coronet has to offer, one very much at the top of the capitals clubbing circuit tree in terms of sheer size & splendour.

Plus, as of going to press we can confirm that, as of going to press, branded event Toybox, originally launched in Sydney but also now featuring on the capitals clubbing circuit calendar, will be hosting room two, residents Verity Mayes & bryony Masters going b2b in a specially extended set, the space decked out in Toybox production, the music style much more funky & funfilled than the euro-style & tech tones of the WE main room. Indeed, why not grab a slice of the Toybox sound by going to http://orangenation.podomatic.com/entry/2012-08-15T09_30_27-07_00, a podcast produced by Bryony Masters for the lasts Toybox outing, “3D” in August. But seeing as we are also talking main room music here, it will come as no surprise that another podcast production published within the Orange Nation podomatic stable is available, this one recorded & produced by D’Johnny, who will be taking up the second slot on Saturday, his magnificent mix very much hinting towards what to expect in his set and one worthy of adding to your collection by going to http://orangenation.podomatic.com/entry/2012-10-05T07_22_58-07_00. And to fill the podcast sandwich, Bryony has produced another Toybox inspired mix along with here playing partner Verity Mayes, so another well worth a listen at http://orangenation.podomatic.com/entry/2012-08-15T09_30_27-07_00.

 

So, there’s not much more to cover apart from the dinky detail, WE “Bitches On the beach” taking place this coming Saturday (6th October) at the Cornet Theatre in Elephant & castle, doors opening at 11 p.m. & the club running through to a planned 7 a.m. finish. Advance tickets have been on sale for a good while now, meaning all the early birds priced at £10 went ages ago, while the super advance £15 ones are gone too, perhaps hinting to another sell-out event. However you can still get your hands on an £18 ticket by going online to http://wepartylondon.com & or http://oranagenationclubtickets.com, while a trip into Soho to Prowler, Clone Zone, or 50 Dean St, while get you one in your hands, tickets also being sold over the counter at Comptons & Ku Bar. That said, if you do manage to pitch without a ticket & you’re not on the guestlist, managed by Ben Kaye & his terrific team, then you can pay on the door but expect to pay more, while once inside, JJ Clark & Mauricio Ortiz are your hosts, we understanding that Jonny marsh will be masterminding proceedings while Victor Pallas is back in Spain preparing for WE’s huge anniversary event next weekend. Further details on the vent can be found by going to http://wepartylondon.com or by clicking on the Facebook events page at http://facebook.com/events/458049814239559/.

 

As for us, well we are planning to be there of course, although with plans a little fluid due to Steve Pitron’s set timings, our arrival may be later rather than sooner, but you can be sure we will be nibble size tweeting from a number of spots, ones you can follow by going to http://twitter.com/discomatt. So, if you see us come say hi, if not, then tune in or, preferably make sure you “Go There! Be There! (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.
