Future Disco 3

Sean Brosnan returns with the third release in this rather excellent series. Jump in to find another inspired mix of house-tinged contemporary/nu/new [choose your own genre-tag here] discoid tunes. As with the previous releases in the series, Future Disco 3 is a mix best experienced start-to-finish — Sean has the production of ‘this is a journey’ setlists programmed somewhere deep in his DJ DNA. Enjoy on a sunny day with your feet up. Or on the dancefloor. I’m proud that some more of my clubland photos again feature in the accompanying booklet.

Horse Meat Disco Vol. 2

It’s coming. You know you want it. The second CD compilation from the Vauxhall disco gods doesn’t actually include any of my photos, but the promo video features my Horse Meat Disco-related pix in abundance. Check it on YouTube….

Gutterslut/Disco Bloodbath

Two of the East End’s best nights back to back on the Shoreditch-Dalston-Shecklewell axis (AKA the A10 or thereabouts)… pix here and here… [Gutterslut door-bitch superstar James Randall shown above]

Stranded

At Stephen’s suggestion, while stuck in Tokyo, I participated in Andrew Losowsky’s Stranded project. Unfortunately, due to work I didn’t get to shoot some of the content Andrew had requested, but some of my shots might end up in the final version of the magazine. In any case, I recommend you check it out. There was some coverage in the Toronto Star yesterday, which features one of my photos.

Tokyo…

Thanks to Eyjafjallajökull, I’ve been stranded in Tokyo since 20 April, waiting on a flight to get back to London. Apart from it being very difficult to get on with the day job, having unexpected time in my favourite city has been a joy. I’ve bought an Olympus E-P2, as I really need something a little less conspicuous than my D300 for the occasions when big camera kit is simply not going to get thru the door at clubs or events. Image quality and handling is great, but the flash is — of course — next to useless, and — …

Tasmania

I grew up in Tasmania. I rarely go back, and I’ve never done so with a decent camera and the intent to make images. This week I’ve been back for a few days, mostly spent in Exeter (where my parents still live) and thereabouts. Most of the photos here were taken during two long walks. The first led me down backroads and creekbeds to Gravelly Beach and back up to Exeter, the other took me up to the Supply River Church, where most of my mother’s ancestors are buried. There are also a small few of the Launceston Gas Works, …

Eat Your Heart Out at Brickhouse

Scottee (above) and friends took on the Conservatives, the 80s and some homophobic City boy hecklers at the Brick Lane restaurant/bar/performance space. Pix here.
