Ich Will

Returned to the DJ booth at The Lounge/Nightclub Kollis at ICH WILL – the first Rammstein-themed London club night. Technical issues resulted in my first set being extended by an hour, plus a little extra at the close of the night. A quite amazing night all being told – Here’s what I played.

Renaissance VII

The Renaissance festival returned in 2017 in it’s new home of The Lounge (aka Nightclub Kolis) in Archway. The festival is a celebration of all forms of alternative culture, with art exhibitions, comic books, video clips and life drawing all featuring on this occasion, though the musical elements still occupy much of the day. There was a double-ended stage setup indoors (RAM and TWIN stages) and a small performance area outdoors (ARCHERS stage), and no less than 8 DJs filling in the gaps between the various performances. Here’s my contribution.

Archers Stage Set

New ground always being broken, this was my first ever DJ set outdoors. This accounts for the quite subtle nature of what I played.

Vernian Process – Sarabande
VNV Nation – Solitary (Orchestral Version)
Spiritual Front – My Kingdom For A Horse
Current 93 – Oh Coal Black Smith
Gae Bolg – Hymne
Faun – Punagra

Fear Factory – Self-Immolation
Sepultura – Arise
Testament – Into The Pit

Bleak Halloween Album Launch

I’d played in this venue before as part of Reptile, and I’d played plenty of slots supporting Bleak and Die Kur, but for Halloween 2016, it all came together to form the 100th DJ Terminates Here set at The Lounge (aka Nightclub Kolis) in Archway.

A line-up featuring 5 live bands, performance poet SP Howarth, an album launch for Bleak, a debut airing of the lead single from the rock musical ‘Rasputin Rocks’, and it was my job to glue it all together muscially. Here’s how it went.

Boston – Smokin’
The Zombies – Time Of The Season
Johnny Cash – I Walk The Line

<Soundcheck pause>

Nirvana – Come As You Are
Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun
Radiohead – Airbag

<Hana Piranha>

Ice Ages – Endless Circle

Rammstein – Sonne

<Die Kur>

(Note: The management requested that due to the late hour, the evening’s outro was to be low-key in nature – this did give the perfect chance to finish my 100th set with the same song that opened my 1st set, nearly eight years ago!).

Reptile – January 2015

This was an event that was supposed to happen in December 2014, but unfortunately a police cordon around the venue on the night resulted in a last-minute cancellation. All concerned returned to Nightclub Kolis on Saturday night, and this time everything went to plan. The centrepiece of tonight’s event was Jayce Lewis’ band Protafield making the trip from South Wales to London to provide a particularly memorable live event. My first set of the night was immediately before their show, the second later in the night.

Set 2- Post-Protafield
