Well what can i say?!?!?!?!?!

HOW SICK! WAS SICK!

Im sure you'll all agree that the last Sick! was by FAR the Best Sick! Party so far..... Gotta thank all the Sick!os from Bombsquad for smashing the ass out of the place and especially all you Sick! Party animals who were raving all the way till 6am...EVERY DJ played such wicked sets and kept the crowd in each room wanting more!

My highlight of the night was when Micky Slim stopped the music, then out of nowhere dropped Pendulems drum and bass anthem Slam!!!!!! Ive never seen a crowd go so crazy!!!!! Also when Kiss 100s Loose Cannons turned up and played b2b with Stupid Fresh and Micky Slim, that was amazing!!!!!

Anyhow it was such a wicked night that MIXMAG! have even said so:



""OK, I admit it. I did “a Danny Rampling” and retired. Chucked the disco lights and sticky dancefloors in for a normal life. I did normal people things like giving up drugs, cigarettes and caffeine. I bought a flat. I wrote a book. Like Mr Rampling, I didn’t open a restaurant and I didn’t go completely bonkers. But too much normality is hazardous to your health and so one spring evening I decided to make a quiet comeback. Now I’m back after a nice refreshing rest, and almost worse than before (if you remember my columns in Mixmag you deserve a long service medal).

So here begins my sequel, my further adventures in clubland, an honest look at what’s going down around town… and maybe even outside the M25, you never know.

Friday 12th September was the first part of Ministry of Sound’s 17th birthday and The Gallery had rustled up an old skool line up of Danny Rampling, Tall Paul, Seb Fontaine, Luke Neville and Mark Moore. Don’t forget your zimmer frame!

The club was busy, everyone from suits to tracksuits to tourists to the Gallery faithful… but there was definitely something missing – probably the Turnmills atmosphere. I bumped into the Gallery’s door grand wizard Tom in the smoking area and he lamented the last hours of Turnmills. “The cleaners came in and stripped all the stuff from the office before we had chance to take anything which had sentimental value. We were still there having a drink on the Monday afternoon after the closing and the builders were knocking down the back of the club. I mean – have a heart!”

I wonder what would happen if ALL the clubs in London except the MoS close down, leaving punters with little choice but to go to south London and drink their rancid Ministry vodka of a weekend? Hangovers, that’s what. Thanks to three evil vodkas on their premises I woke on the Saturday with a vicious hangover. But I battled through it to get to Sick! On The Dancefloor at SE1 on Saturday 13th.

It was a total sell out event with Bombsquad Records in the main room and Hoi Palloi and Dirty Funkers in the other two arches.

The SE1 is not the kind of venue that gets my heart racing (the familiar smell of damp dog greeted us on arrival) but there were all forms of life on the dancefloor and they were, to use 90s parlance, ‘well up for it’.

I’d not been in the club five minutes when I saw a Chinese couple in their 60s skanking around by the bar. Apparently last time Bombsquad played, there were five girls “in average Primark bras” having a multi-level podium fight. Brilliant!

With entertainment tonight coming from a thrusting, strutting and gurning lady dancing by the decks and kicking drinks over everyone, it seemed you were never far away from an over-friendly face. Suffice to say the dancefloor mutated into extras from Night of the Living Dead come 4am, but the music was phenomenal. Stupid Fresh, Micky Slim and even the Loose Cannons (who weren’t billed but drove up from their gig in Brighton) ran tings from one in the morning until gone six – heavy basslines, rave attitude, bit of electro, hip hop stylings, and last tune of the night when the lights came on – Earth Wind and Fire’s ‘Let’s Groove’ – they totally smashed it.

Later, like all the best after-parties, I found myself in a sweaty King’s Cross Travelodge with a load of boys who were wrestling each other, singing like Gizmo from the Gremlins and being sick on the carpet. Ah, how I’ve missed this shit"""


WHOS READY FOR THE NEXT INSTALLMENT OF SICK!
