Alternative Bring’n’Buy Sale – June 2018

DJ Setlist

The Alt Bring’n’Buy had a break in the Spring, but it came back today.  As far as the DJing goes, I had originally planned to stop last December, but the break allowed me to find some fresh things to play, so whilst Scott and Zaira handled the bulk of the music, I still put in an hour 1pm-2pm.

Kloq – You Never Know
Alien Vampires – You Wish Me Dead Get In Line
Studio-X – To Hell
Syrian – Enforcer
Code 64 – Without You
Dupont – Solid Life
Lederman DeMeyer – A Tribe Of My Own
Növö – Groupe 8-2 (Extended)
Klinik – In Your Mind
Tribantura – Lack Of Sense
Finkseye – Deadweight
Forma Tadre – Looking Glass Men
Second Disease – Desire
2nd Face – Instinct

I did considerably more DJing over the road afterwards.

Alternative Bring’n’Buy Sale – December 2017

DJ Setlist

The December edition of the ABBS was hit by snow on the morning of the event, but despite a thinner crowd than normal, we still carried on as usual.  Scott handled the early part of the DJ, whilst DJs Grimorg and Demondaz played later on.  This left me with:

12 noon-1pm – Lunchtime Selection

On this occasion, a good old mix-of-all-sorts-of-stuff.

John Carpenter – Assault on Precinct 13 (Main Theme)
Rick Wakeman – Catherine Of Aragon
Hans Zimmer – Rain Man Theme
Freudstein – Live This Lies
VCMG – Lowly
Ascii.Disko – Strassen
Potentia Animi – Vive La More
Eminence Of Darkness – Pet
Frozen Autumn – Ashes
Beborn Beton – Another World
Psy’Aviah – Infected
Obszon Geschopf – Rue Morgue Creature
Out Out – E&E
Acumen (Nation) – Anchorite
Unheilig – Herz Aus Eis (played with great irony…..)

3pm – Shoegaze, Alt Rock and Crossover Dance

I’d agreed with Scott that we’d try a role-reversal set today – he played EBM and industrial, and I played the things he normally did.

Tricky – Overcome
Zola Jesus – Manifest Destiny
Bat For Lashes – In God’s House
Cranes – Can’t Get Free
My Bloody Valentine – Only Shallow
Slowdive – Sleep
Ride – Vapour Trail
Jesus and Mary Chain – Just Like Honey
Chapterhouse – Falling Down
Lush – Ladykillers
Sonic Youth – Kool Thing
Pixies – Debaser
Smashing Pumpkins – Zero
Garbage – When I Grow Up
Primal Scream – Rocks
Fatboy Slim – Right Here, Right Now
Shamen – Phorever People

And then handed over to Demondaz to finish off here whilst we were over the road….

Slimelight – Goth and 80s Floor

DJ Setlist

I’ve DJed at the Elektrowerkz venue many times in the past, mainly as support DJ for the various bands playing there, and I have on a few occasions stuck around to fill a vacant slot at the Slimelight club following on after. This was my first stand-alone set at Slimelight, joining DJs Jester and Jo The Waiter on the ‘Goth/80s’ floor (though the music policy in practice is somewhat broader that that).

This evening also doubled up as one of the afterparties for the Pride In London event, with members of The Queer Alternative very much in presence. It was also a few days after the referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union. Whilst I avoid discussion of topical issues here, it’s fair and factually true to say that both the EU and the LGBT+ community have both played a vital part of making my DJ career what it is. Someone even wrote on the request list “They’ll Never Take Our Scene Away”. That summed up the mood of the night.
