First Slide, second Lottie
6th July 2005
This Friday 8th July I’ll be warming up the ‘First Lady of House’,
Lottie... ooer! It’s my first performance for
Slide at the Zodiac; a well established
Underground House night in Oxford, by some 11 years now, which has seen
spin the
likes of Yousef, Jon Carter, Sancho Panza, Paul Woolford in recent months... the list goes on. The night is
in association with
Simple, and one of its residents,
Sean
Holbrook, is gutted he can’t make it but is more than happy to hand the reins
over to me :-) A quick nod from Slide promoter and DJ, Matt Braddock, and
I’ve
landed myself a set. It’s the second time around for me on the
same bill as
Lottie; regulars will recall the first time was at
Circus in Liverpool after
becoming a winner in Yousef’s first DJ competition. Also spinning on Friday
will be Em Williams, the er... First Lady of House in Oxford, at least.
See
you down the front!
Update
14th July 2005
The night was a great success, but then we didn’t expect anything less. Matt Wilkins from the BBC Oxford website wrote a favourable review of us and the night. Matt Braddock said it was the best he’d heard Lottie play at Slide; her forth appearance there I think. Listen to my set recorded live at the event!
