paris paris..
Ah yes. There's nothing like spending the morning vomiting in the toilets of the Eurostar. A Great way to begin the week. It all started so innocently as well. I was asked to play at a club night in Paris called Colette Dance Class, based around Colette, one of France's most famous shops. The evening begins with a dance class and last night it was The Vogue. It was an all female DJ lineup and I was to headline. I started drinking at about midnight and had maybe 4 vodkas. The problem was the measures were like nothing I've ever seen before. Vodka, with a dash of diet coke. I knew I was in a bad way when I got on the mike just before I put my first record on and yelled 'Hello Paris Paris! Je M'Apelle Annie Mac!!'.
I had a very busy weekend, I did Sarah Coxes weekend shows again and flew to Derry on Saturday night to play at the brilliant Celtronic Festival. I love playing Derry, the energy from the crowd is unparalleled, and it means you can really experiment musically. I played a really hard set and dropped loads of new stuff, a track off the Para One album, the new Sebastian track Ross Ross Ross which is incredible and the 'Put your Hands Up for Detroit' track by Fedde Le Grande. That sounded ridiculous. I spent a grand total of 6 hours in derry as I got picked up at 6am to go to the airport. I fell asleep on the plane with a newspaper over my face and 2 hours later, in Starbucks in central London, it was pointed out to me that I was walking around with a black face from the newspaper ink.
This weekend coming I'm back in northern Ireland to play Stiff Kitten in Belfast and then am flying to Scotland to do Sara Cox's shows from T In The Park.
I'm really looking forward to this weeks show. There's so many new tunes to play... I know Tayo played that Freestylers/Pendulum tune last week so I might have to play that again, along with something from this new Para One album. It's brilliant, in a Daft Punk, Justice way. We've got Cajmere in the minimix.. you may know him as Green Velvet, either way he is a pioneer and is still making brilliant tunes today. His mix of Juan Macleans 'Give Me Every Little Thing' get's played in nearly every set I do. I wonder what his minimix will be like?
Annie,
Gotta watch the vodka measures...they can get you everytime...just got back from a week in New York City and my liver will be glad of a chance to regenerate as I had plenty of vodka myself...
Looking forward to your show this week..it will be you this time yeah? Or who should I "listen again" to get who you are covering for? See I even lost some gray cells as I can't seem to locate you on the radio...oh dear.
Your loyal San Francisco can't stopper
While it is totally commercial I am enjoying the new Jay X Beyonce track Deja Vu....not selling out I promise!
