More ruminations on the state of the White Island from Nightmares On Wax, Toddla T et al… My own risible contributions included (inevitably). By the way: I meant ‘Two Of China’, not ‘Two China’, before any of you nerds get up in my grill!

vimeo Direkt I recently interviewed Horse Meat Disco’s James Hillard for the AllSaints Basement Sessions; HMD is London’s premier full scale disco party. He’s a most agreeable fellow and it’s so good to see them progressing and doing so well; there’s compilations, global touring… HMD is almost an international nightlife brand. Good on those men. [...]

To be honest I first became aware of Swedish DJ Mark Seven through his totally brilliant CD compilation released as part of the ‘Originals’ series on Claremont 56. The contents of that compilation have, I’m ashamed to say, become ‘heavy-rotate’ down at my Caravan residency in Exmouth Market (especially Stars And Bars by Stars ‘N [...]

If you follow my loquacious warbling on Twitter (@CMJCT), you’ll know that I take Heads Down live every Saturday to Caravan at Exmouth Market in London. Caravan isn’t a nightclub (as five Heads Down fans from Nottingham found out one Saturday) but an amazing bar and modern tapas restaurant, with outdoor seating, award winning food [...]

First up, a big apology for the lack of activity on the blog. I’ve been rather busy with that tiresome malady know as ‘real life’ and haven’t had a chance to do any Heads Downery whatsoever. It’s made even worse by the fact I have some wonderful interviews waiting to be edited and posted… I [...]

If you’re in London on Thursday 17th of February you should get down to this. Golf Channel are just about the hottest label coming out of New York right now (bar ESP Institute) and they just seem to be climbing further and further up the barometer, with super esoteric releases from Heroes Of The Galleon [...]

So, here it is, my first Heads Down post since December. My excuse is I’ve been out in New Zealand getting married, and if that’s not a good enough alibi then you’re a heartless, hard to please bunch of so-and-sos (but I love that about you). Here I have part one of my interviews with [...]

I mentioned in a post the other day that I might be cornering these guys for a chat about the early days of Acid House, and here it is. I have about an hour of footage (all gold) and I’m going to chop it up into swallowable bite size edits for you the MTV generation. [...]

Here’s part two in my two part interview with the boys. Here they talk about the occasionally intimidating nature of dancing in clubs in the late seventies and how clubbing outside your area was akin to going to the moon. This is definitely one of my favourite Heads Down interviews! If you want to hear [...]
