SPECTRUM ZX
|
|
With a dozen rammed nights under their belts, Kinky Voodoo
have decided to take a break to concentrate on both the fledgling
Girl Records label and some of other residencies and one or
two special one-offs. Massive respect to John P for making
Spectrum the legendary night that it has become.
Over the past year, Kinky Voodoo - those "machine pop specialists"
(the Guardian) have been providing a blast of acid fried electro
goodness to London's west end on a monthly basis, and travelled
to Brussels to spread the sweetness further afield. Residents
John P, Stuart P and DELTA 9's very own Suzie Sparkle have
been joined by the likes of Ed DMX, Strictly Kev, Cylob, Maddog
Wallace, Cursor Miner and Kone-R.
Kinky Voodoo have got plenty of new ventures in the pipeline,
including Sick Love @ Turnmills. Check out DELTA
9 DJ Dates or www.kinkyvoodoo.com
for full details.
Here's what they Sleazenation had to say about Spectrum:
'Spectrum ZX: Machine Pop Specialists taking over London's
Asylum once a month with weird electro twelves, brutal acid
tracks and even the odd bit of dancehall and hip-hop. If the
shit fits, wear it - and Spectrum wears it well. Cylob, NagNagNag's
Fil OK, Ed DMX and Maddog Wallace have all guested recently.
Find out why.'

| SPECTRUM ZX12 - Friday 4th April |
|
Part wake, part party, Spectrum celebrated a year of being
London's premier Machine Pop night and said farewell to The
Asylum. Resident DJs John Power & Suzie Sparkle hosted
a free-for-all on the decks. Big ups to all who seized the
opportunity for their 15 mins of fame including Cylob (who
came armed with a world premier of the new Aphex), and Paul
Blackford and his Staines ghetto MCs. Suzie Sparkle was joined
by DJ Smilex (RaveTap/DELTA 9) back2back with some bass-heavy
crowd-pleasers for what was described as "the best set of
the night".
LINEUP: John Power (Kinky
Voodoo), Suzie Sparkle (DELTA 9) and a load of punters!

Absolutely phenomenal - Strictly Kev blew everyone away with
a thrash metal/acid mash-up that was simply unrivalled...
and that was after the dancefloor had taken a severe battering
from Paul Blackford's ghetto tech & rave assault.

| SPECTRUM ZX09 - Friday 3rd January 2003 |
|
Spectrum returned to Asylum for the first outing of 2003,
and what a night it was. It seems that no-one can have partied
that hard on new years eve as 4 days later the Spectrum crowd
were out in force with their raving shoes on and firmly fastened.
Stuart warmed up with his usual smooth blend of electro classics,
soul, and some irresistibly funky hip-hop. Sparkle then stepped
up with some twisted dancefloor gems, from Salt n' Pepa to
Kid Spatula, held together with Spectrum electro glue. Next
up was Tomm, dropping full-on oldskool jungle - defiantly
appreciated by the more energetic punters! John P closed the
night with acid house and spectrum favourites. ZX09 was defiantly
enjoyed by all - the bar staff had such a good time the DJs
even got the odd free drink!

Special 6 month anniversary featuring "The Droyds",
with celebratory acid house cakes! Who are The Droyds? Well
in their own words- "The Droyds - a nineteen year old
Nicole Kidman lookalike and two robots mashing up Squeeze
and landing Duran Duran in a pill factory." Also at ZX06:
Rare DELTA 9 back2back session - DJ Smilex and Suzie Sparkle.

The Spectrum crew decided to spread some sonic goodness further
afield and headed off to Brussels to appear at Homegrown on
26th September. John P took control of the decks at around
midnight after a very classy set by acid jazz bad New Daily,
throwing down some funk and hip-hop classics. Suzie and Stuart
then got their hands dirty with some more classics and abstract
breaks to prepare the crowd for the marathon 6 hour back2back2back
mash-up of electronics, techno and DnB that took place. In
spite of all 3 DJs flaking out from sheer exhaustion at some
point during the night they kept an unfamiliar crowd bouncing
all night and pleeding for more music when the plug was finally
pulled at 6am. A hugely successful night and hopefully the
first of many. Further European dates for the Spectrum team
are in the pipeline.

Spectrum returned to the Asylum in September for ZX05, we
proudly welcomed cofounder of Rephlex Records and acid house
specialist Maddog "Cougar" Wallace down to spin some of that
proper braindance business the kids can't get enough of these
days. Taking control of the heaving mass that was Friday night's
dancefloor, he delivered a full-on acid onslaught that left
the sweaty crowd gasping for more - a legend and a top bloke
to boot! Stuart P started the proceedings with an exceptionally
groovy and slick mixed bag, and John P ended the night with
some Spectrum favourites.

debut album on Lo Recordings has just been released to near
universal acclaim.

put on a proper party.

SPECTRUM ZX kicked off with headliner Cylob delivering a
set that will certainly go down in electronic bouncy history,
though quite a few of the tunes he selected had been aired
earlier in the night by Sparkle ;)
