The post today comes from way back in 2008 in the form of Mark E's Resident Advisor Podcast. This is one of those podcast's that you just seem to always go back to and it constantly sounds fresh, and still one of our favourites today..

Feature ¦ Chaz Jankel - The Forgotten Man of Pop
Although not totally oblivious to Chaz Jankel until recently, I must admit that after having done some research and reading on him I've found out some very interesting facts about the man behind a whole heap of 80's classics.
Having read through the earlier piece on Ian Dury again, I just happened to delve into the Blockheads side of the Dury story a little, to see what influences they brought to the table...

Event ¦ LATE NITE TUFF GUY & GET DOWN EDITS
To say we're excited about the arrival of this act is a huge understatement. As soon as we heard Late Nite Tuff Guy was touring Europe we jumped at the opportunity to book him.
Originally hailing from Adelaide, Austrailia, LNTG has gained popularity and our adoration over the years for his superb re-edits and re-works of classics from soul, rock, motown. However, arguably his biggest hit to date was the remix of DJ Le Roi & Roland Clark classic - "I Get Deep". It was a massive crossover and featured on many DJ’s playlists and charts before being picked up by Get Physical in early 2012 and is still rocking clubs and dance floors around the globe.
Greg Wilson is one of LNTG's biggest admirers, constantly praising the Aussie for his ever-dependable re-edits which he uses in his sets on a regular basis. His back-catalouge of re-edits, originals and mixes is impressive to say the least, type in LNTG to youtube and you'll see what we mean.
On warm-up duties for the night are Waterford's very own Get Down Edits. We've been keeping tabs on the duo for some time now, and their re-edits have seen high praise from many reputable artists on the scene like Bill Brewster, Greg Wilson and Harvey. GDE have already played with LNTG in Galway earlier this summer, and reports say that this is a combination not to be scoffed at. Have a listen to the first in our podcast series that GDE were kind enough to do back in June.
You can catch them both playing on Friday 2nd August, at The Gweedore.

Queen & Disco Presents | Horse Meat Disco @ The Nerve Centre
With the dance scene undergoing a facelift in recent times (even though disco/funk/soul/italo/house orientated DJs have always been around) we, at Q&D, thought it was the perfect time to bring Derry into alignment with what is going on elsewhere on the dance floors across the world.
Only recently Derry played host to the much heralded, and Q&D favourite, Greg Wilson (check out our article on Greg here). Wilson, who played at the Music City event in Ebrington Square, seemed to awaken the crowd to a form of dance music, not often heard in Derry before, dance music which owes itself to dancing! This is achieved through lower BPM tracks, old-school classics, and modern day re-works, not to mention a deep archive of often long forgotten tracks, which all audiences can enjoy and recognise.
This trend is set to continue with the arrival of 'Nile Rodgers Presents- The Chic Organisation' on Sunday 28th July, which is set to be one of the biggest music events of the City of Culture.
Riding on the crest of this wave, The Queen and Disco have been striving to further push this re-invigorated genre onto the masses with a stellar summer line-up of our own, including Horse Meat Disco, Late Nite Tuff Guy, and Get Down Edits.
Our inaugural party is this Saturday, 13th July at The Nerve Centre where Horse Meat Disco, supported by Lowendisko and Q&D residents, will lay down the soundtrack to a night full of grooves and moves.
The residents of Derry are no strangers to the Horse Meat Disco Experience, with the disco troupe performing several times in the Maiden City since their inception almost 10 years ago.
They have become world renowned for their residencies in London, Berlin, Paris and New York and are repeat offenders on turntables across the globe with demand never waning for danceable grooves and the unique party atmosphere they bring.
This is a fresh concept for the Derry dance scene, pushing an all inclusive atmosphere and good vibes, accompanied by the perfect soundtrack to unforgettable parties.
This is not to be missed.
