Well, the weather might have been appalling - that's the last time I come up with a sacreligious party title on a religious holiday (;-) - but the music was great. Hats off to Team Mega Mix, STDJs and MeMeMe for an awesome night of dancefloor mayhem. And thanks to Gilli and Michael for their help and to everyone who braved the elements to be at The Long Good Friday. True party animals.

New Hormones on the Beeb (and the MDMA)


Some coverage of The Phantom's New Hormones website. Here's a piece for BBC Manchester online. And here's what the Manchester District Music Archive made of it. More to follow...
Oh, and many thanks to Jon Savage for allowing use of his article on The Secret Public on the site. Respect!

Bosh, Bosh, Bosh!!!

Great to see Seb and Alax from Tapedeck on their own manor at Bosh! at the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch last Friday. Check out the killer bassline on the semifinalists remix on their Myspace! Have a listen to Burmese Days too - they played live at the OBL. The band's Myspace says they sound like Orange Juice and The Smiths. More like Subway Sect and The Band of Holy Joy, I reckon. Fronted by a stick insect (think a teenage Jarvis Cocker with long curly hair). Could go places. Just like Cajun Dance Party: Thom Yorke's a fan already. A big thank you to singer (and new driver) Daniel Blumberg for going out of his way to help his big brother (the S in STDJs). Watch out for those traffic wardens!

More for FACT

A review of the Transardentes Festival in Liege. And look out for a profile of The Black Dog very shortly.
