― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

CATASTROPHE.

My Aunt is getting married the day after.

At 10am.

In WATFORD.

It is possible that this may impede Sugaring.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

Why is your night being advertised by World of Sport's Dickie Davies?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

haha! come to the night to find out!

oh look we have a "website" now
http://www.lolrider.com/sugar

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 September 2005 22:42 (twenty years ago)

i dreamt about this last night.. and it was really awesome, despite having a POWER CUT briefly during the night. and the party carried on til the morning, when my ipod ran out of batteries. i played some top tunes and everyone were dancing.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:07 (twenty years ago)

Ken, I dreamed last night that you'd put an acupuncture needle in the sole of my foot, when I wasn't looking. I was perturbed but willing to accept that it might be for my own good.
I told Steve about this dream earlier and he thought I was recounting a real event. It was quite early in the morning, to be fair.

― suckling pig at a rave (alix), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:12 (twenty years ago)

i wonder what that means???!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

Burning question: Sugababes singles or Sugababesw album tracks?

Also, who wants to bet on how many dancefloor clearers I'll play?

― BARMS, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:35 (twenty years ago)

well how many songs are you planning to play in total?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:36 (twenty years ago)

i predict barima will play sunshine underground

i hope barima will play bob james, alan braxe, scarface & bun b, chamillionaire and laurent garnier

― terry lennox. (gareth), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:41 (twenty years ago)

from laboratoire garnier

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 10:46 (twenty years ago)

As Matt DClean can attest, my Garnier/Garnier gags are much frothier.

The theme for the set is "Nostalgia '97-9/Think Big Beat", though that's not as rigid as it sounds. I don't think I'll download anything new between now and Sugar so most of that list is out, but I will choose a Braxe and Falke track, though my favourite (Benjamin Diamond - 'Let's Get High' remix) is more of an end-of-nighter, and that's Lex's job, last I looked.

There are no live mp3s of Sunshine Underground online, however :-).

― BARMS, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 11:01 (twenty years ago)

you should dl chamillionaire - platinum stars, i think that would go down v well!

― terry lennox. (gareth), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 11:07 (twenty years ago)

I'm playin' Sway, though! Also, I meant "won't be able to download anything new" before.

Ain't it RickyT's b-day? I may have to play either Braxe's DFA1979 mix or Phones' Bloc Party touch-up.

― BARMS, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 11:22 (twenty years ago)

if you can get people dancing to Big Beat in this day and age then I will doff my hat to you accordingly (pending acquisition of said hat beforehand)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 12:16 (twenty years ago)

??? Big Beat is dance music for dancing to!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

I will dance to big beat, it has a beat whot is big.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 12:27 (twenty years ago)

NO BIG BEAT.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

NO BIG BEAT

― terry lennox. (gareth), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

you don't understand.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 08:28 (twenty years ago)

why all the other kids are going for the new phat elegant big beats

Denmark? you've completely lost me. No, on the right obviously.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

and so, yes, it turns out this is doug and his good lady. now all i need to know is how on earth you chaps know him and we're off (i love it when i find out friends of mine know each other independently...).

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 19:09 (twenty years ago)

We-ll, his good lady = Nichola, who both Stevem and I know independently.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

And she's friends with Katey.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 06:01 (twenty years ago)

OK that's weird, I know Nichola as well! Small world... I haven't seen her in ages though.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 08:17 (twenty years ago)

Nick took some positively asskick photos of Alex and I in the DJ booth, but I'll have to coerce him into gett6ing them off his phone (no, Alex, you're not allowed to coerce him yourself

i won't need to COERCE him.

i can't believe i was whinging beforehand about how my back injury would stop me from dancing. dancing THROUGH THE PAIN!

sugar is a total nexus of small world moments, at the first one i discovered that colette knows phoebe who is in my book group.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 08:52 (twenty years ago)

AND there was a guy there (friend of Daniel's and Darren's I think?) who worked in subtitling and when I said I knew a couple of guys who did that and mentioned the names he did know one of them from some e-mail correspondance.

Only 243 people in London part 34756824

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 09:02 (twenty years ago)

Haha, I've met Nichola in the past as well, independently of all of you. Tiny world.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 09:16 (twenty years ago)

and to complete the circle, doug works 10 feet away from my gf! woo.

That was Michael - English-accented Deutscher Boy, posts to ILM when there's a Scritti or Sylvian thread, looks like Xabi Alonso on a good day.

Nice to meet some more ILX peeps than I had before, btw, hope to flex my social muscles more next time.

― darren (darren), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 13:11 (twenty years ago)

i knew like almost everyone there that night (except all of lex's friends)

oh wait so actually that means i only knew like 3 people..

she does fortnightly evenings at 93ft east on tuesdays which are also vv good, though they will soon become weekly monday evenings.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 15:34 (twenty years ago)

How do I get my own club?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

From any supermarket, they sell them in packs of six.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

― DJ[EVIL]clivefabri, Friday, 14 October 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)
