I wanted to let this bubble in the analog world for a bit before really getting into the heavy online promo but now its time to blow the horn on the new night I am involved in as a resident DJ (alongside Jet Letts son of the legendary Don Letts).
PULL UP #1 : Friday Oct 24th 2008 @ The Paradise
Pull Up was launched last October at The Paradise in Kensal Rise. The first night also doubled as my birthday party and was a great success. My good friends Adriano & Tracks and myself were in agreement, west london is in a severe shortage of decent nights to go to especially on the weekend (shouts to YoYo for carrying the torch for all this time)... something had to be done. Jet Letts brought the grimey Dubstep & Old Skool Garage and I covered the Hip Hop/R&B/Disco/Funk/Soul/Rare Groove/Breaks and even Pop/House/Hip House/Electro/AfroBeat etc it didn't matter as long as the people were all on the same page and partied with us.
We were joined last minute by our savior and supa mc Kyza Smirnoff to host the night and keep everyone entertained which is exactly what happened. Our live P.A. performance from De Tropix broke up the night nicely and had the people sweatin even harder.
That night we jammed out the 650 capacity venue and made The Paradise as much money on the bar as they had at their Carnival party... and this was a regular weekend of the month!
PULL UP #2 : Boxing Day Dec 26th 2008 @ The Paradise
The 2nd event fell on Boxing Day (26th of December to all non-brits) and again was a smasher party... the turn-out was beautiful and despite all the turkey, booze, mince pies and chocolates everybody still had the energy to go come out, crazy and sing along to the tunez. Live P.A. that night was from our host m.c. Kyza Smirnoff who killed em with his track his Roots Manuva produced Judgement Day (which you can hear in the music player to the right>>>).
Even my old man made it out and danced to the music. Shouts to my old skool crew(s) & West London familia who turned out in full force!
PULL UP #3 : Feb 27th @ The Westbury
was on Friday 27th Feb and this time at The Westbury and was lady Tracks' birthday celebration... again we filled packed, shocked, macked & rocked the house! No P.A.'s this time just strictly floor filling party tunes all night from Jet Letts & yours truly.
Shouts to Amo the artsman for the sick conceptual flyer artwork too!!!!!! Keep your eyes peeled for Amo's range of T-shirts & accessories on the COLOURMAN clothing line who also produce clothing for Ramson Badbonez, Medication Records and are in collaboration with Ask Your Girl this year to produce some special gear ... big things for all names mentioned above in 2009
All in all things are moving in the right direction and London is on the come-up... don't listen to what they tell you about the economy , we all just becoming self-sufficient now... time to PULL UP our socks and keep steppin.
PULL UP #4 : March 13th @ The Cobden Club
Next Pull Up : March 13th 2009 @ The Cobden Club, Kensal Road. Closest tubes Westbourne Park/Ladbroke Grove/Kensal Green.
