Home/Tag: House Music

House music, is a style of electronic dance music that was established by dance club DJs in Chicago that were influenced by mid-1970s dance music as played by DJs in New York, and spread to Detroit, New York, and eventually Europe. House music is strongly influenced by fundamentals of the early to mid 1970s soul- and funk-infused dance music chic of disco. House music takes disco’s use of a prominent bass drum on every beat and created a new style by mixing in a heavy electronic synthesizer bassline, electronic drums, electronic effects, funk and pop samples, and reverb- or delay-enhanced vocals.

Cotswolds wedding

Cotswolds wedding - Cripps Barn was the venue for this wedding in the Cotswolds and what a wedding it turned out to be. I was joined by Andre on Sax who had flown in from Marbella that afternoon, we worked really well together and that helped make the party go with a swing. The venue (Cripps Barn) is one of the best I have played in.... Great Sound system, staff, food and its the right size too.  

Pikes Ibiza – Freddie Rocks Party

Back for it’s 9th summer, we see Freddie Rocks at Pikes as an annual party that truly puts the ‘fun’ in fundraising, as international and local DJs, Ibiza residents, holidaymakers and the entire Pikes family all come together to make a contribution to the foundation while honouring our late great hero in a way we believe would have made him break into that signature grin. If you didn’t already know, Pikes was the place where Freddie Mercury celebrated his wild and wonderful

London Rooftop Party for Fabric owner

Stir It Up Bob Marley Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) Natty Bong Personal Jesus

Ibiza 2019 opening parties

Ibiza 2019 - I like to keep up to date with what is going on in the music and party scene and one of the best ways is get to the exclusive opening parties on Ibiza. Going over early May before the bigger clubs open and all the tourists arrive is a cost effective way of achieving this, Easyjet flights are inexpensive and hotels have deals so its win win. Blue Marlin was full of clubbers rather than the normal
