OUT OF THE OLD – So it’s been a while since I blogged. It seemed wrong to comment on what has ben happening until now. It still seems wrong to look back, so i’ll just look forward to our new (ad)venture and share an amusing photo of the best urinal in London at my latest residency. This venue’s music policy is special in that they genuinely want to play deep underground music in a mainstream area of the capital. Want to know more? Message me…but before you ask the obvious questions, yes the ice melts and yes this was snapped mid-relief.
MASSIVE CHANGES – In a nutshell I went and set up Hoxton.FM with some incredibly talented people because we all shared the same vision. To quote our press release we are:
“Broadcasting music, art, fashion and culture with a focus on diversity and high quality.
This is a station dedicated to becoming the hub for creativity in Hoxton, Shoreditch and Dalston. It showcases the latest talent in London 24/7 with live guerilla broadcasts morning noon and night from a variety of venues. The innovative audio exchanges (already fostered with East Village radio in New York) will be expanding rapidly with station links in major global cities.”
ALREADY – We are already delivering high quality, diverse content 24 hours a day. With so many talented new shows and presenters joining the schedule I had to curtail my devotion to beat digging, djing and hosting my own shows. But now I am back with a breakfast show starting next week, my Chicago town (deep house) show on Fridays and some other surprises in store. With a brilliant core team covering production, engineering and media we know the future holds a lot of fun and excitement.
FUTURE – We are all putting in a lot of hard work to build a highly professional station that will act as a breeding ground for talent to flourish and take-off in to the mainstream. Not that we want to be in the mainstream, we just want to play our part in adding some quality to it.
TALENT – We’ve got weekly shows coming from the best party DJ’s in London The Loose Cannons, Ronnie Joice (1 of 1000 & The Hoxton Pony), Deanne Oliver-Evans (Blonde Ambition), Mike Rhino (Crash Rhino), The Preshaah (Hoxton Live / Sky News), DJ Stan-ley (Deep London Recordings) and so many more that it would be flagrant name dropping to continue.
