I really like that "The Saint & The Satan" track as well. Any chance I could get a copy of your E.P....? If you sent it to Steve Milne I can get him to pass it on. Martin.

Zombie Zombie were brilliant on Monday night. TRES BIEN !!!

"Why have every club playing every style of music?" Not every club plays every style of music....certainly not the last time I checked.(Usually predictable Indie/Electro/House or full on sh*t pop) I also never said that every club should play every style of music, just keep it interesting by mixing it up a bit. Make it look like the dj has been djing for more than a few weeks and is not just playing whatever the latest trendy music genre is, which at the moment seems to be Electro.....IndieElectro/ElectroClash/ElectroHouse...etc....I love Electro, but it gets a bit boring hearing it everywhere and for a whole night. There is a massive difference to hearing random pop songs somewhere like Exodus where you might aswell have an iPod on shuffle compaired to a DJ who is properly programming and building a set mixing up old or new: House, Electro, Techno, Disco, Rock, Pop or whatever else they feel like playing.....hearing something like the Clash in a set like this is completely different. You have a bit of a point about "Aberdeen being too small.....to support people who are interested in music" very true, it's really hard to get people to check out nights when they have not heard of the guest.....some of the best music I have heard in clubs in Aberdeen has been nights with quite a poor turnout because people obviously had not heard of the guest or could not be arsed going to something that was not played on Radio1 or on the cover of Mixmag. It sucks ass even more when it costs you money to put something like that on and you make a loss. Bigger cities like Glasgow, Manchester or London obviously have more people who are into alternative or specialist music so they can get away with being more Adventurous. Really curious to know what more Adventurous types of Nights or guests that you think Snafu could be putting on, what suggestions do you have in mind.....??

There is absolutely f*ck all wrong with hearing the Clash in a club, they are easilly one of the best bands to come out of this Country and their music sounds more relevant and timeless than most of the sh*t that is comming out now and calling itself "Electro" or "ElectroClash". Not everyone wants to listen to Electro all night long, it's quite good to hear other styles of music in a DJ set.....it gets quite boring when a DJ stays in the same groove all night. Each to there own / different strokes for different folks though!!

Playing music no one has heard before does not make it good music....does it....?? Playing a balance of Underground music and music that people are familior with is what it's all about. Also what you think is good is only your opinion.

Records can be collected or I can meet you in Aberdeen City Center if you want to avoid paying postage & packaging if you live locally. martinborland - Discogs Marketplace

NightDubbing welcomes CHICKEN LIPS DJ, Steve "Fella" Kotey to the Snafu turntables for a night of hard hitting DUB-ELECTRO-DISCO a bit of retro sounding ACID HOUSE-PUNK FUNK and ELECTRO charged POP. Friday 13th April @ Snafu 10-3am 5 enrty. Steve hooked up with the CHICKEN LIPS duo of Andy Meecham and Dean Meredith in 2002, who previously had chart success as Bizzare Inc. in the early 90s. The sound of Chicken Lips is known as "disco dub" and it derives from a mix of disco, boogie, 80s synthesizer music, and tricks from the dub chamber. A groove-inflected, instrumental sound that feels like its been handmade. There is a rock nroll influence as well, with big drums, huge echo sounds, banging bass guitars and small melody fragments. Their huge body of work can be scoped out at: Chicken Lips and their compilation mix CD's for DJ Kicks on K7! checking your plug in... and Clicks, Acid 'n' Disco on Trust the DJ are a good introduction. And if that was not enough, Steve runs Bear Entertainments which has an A&R repertoire that reads like the who's who of wonky disco. Bear Entertainment More recently Steve has been producing under his own name, remixing the likes of Lindstrom and has just got his band project off the ground with a killer single "Sooner or later" that features living legend Chas Janel (Ian Dury&theBlockheads, "Glad to know you, Ai No Corrida" fame). He still finds the time to DJ across the globe as the international LIPS ambassador. Some of his mixes can be dowloaded or streamed here: ..::Jigsawmusic::..

Every bit as hip as his name suggests, Qool DJ Marv's CV reads like a day in the life of a DJ to the stars. The New York DJ is one of the most in demand spinners of his generation. He's been adopted by the rich and famous to play at practically every opening party that is worth it's celebrity salt, from Prince's Tramps jam sessions to the launch parties of HBO shows like Sex in the City, The Sopranos, Oz, Six Feet Under and Entourage. As well as warming up for artists like Erykah Badu, George Clinton & P-Funk, Chic, Kool & the Gang, The Roots, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. Marv also found the time to become a bit of a hero in Manchester and is the favourite visiting DJ at the city's legendary Friends&Family parties thrown by Fat City Records. Manchester record label Grand Central also asked Marv to make a mix tape showcasing the labels back catalogue for their 10 year anniversary. More of his mixes can be found on his own Buttamilk web site and the Giant Step web site.

Andrew Mason, better known as DJ Monkone, has been a fixture on New York City's music scene for over 10 years. After playing bass and guitar in several Punk/Funk bands, he began DJing seriously in the early '90s. In 1998 Monk joined the legendary Underground Railroad, New York's longest running Hip Hop radio show along side the likes of DJ Spinna and Qool DJ Marv. Monk's set's combining rare original break beats, cutting edge hip hop and jazz have gained praise from listeners like Weldon Irvine, Kool Herc, Bobbito Garcia and Q-Tip to name a few. In 2001 Monkone and friend Andre Torres began talking about starting a music magazine. The following year they released the debut issue of Wax Poetics, which has gone on to become the world's most respected read for music lovers and beat diggers. Monk's Dream, an official mix CD that showcased some of Monk's precious musical gems was released in 2002 and created worldwide demand. This contained 2 of Monk's own Re-Edits that proved he is also a talented producer. Last years "Phonolog E.P" on Japan's Ten12Records featured a tasty array of mid-tempo funk, jazz and Latin-inspired dancefloor bombs. The follow up mix CD "Still Dreaming" was released on Manchester's Fat City Records label, where Monk has a residency at their monthly Friends & Family parties and has become their favourite visiting DJ due to his musical yet party rocking sets. His current New York residencies include APT, Table 50 in Manhattan and Brooklyn's Black Betty's. He is also a senior writer and buyer for trendsetting NYC record shop Turntable Lab, Editor of Scratch Magazine, in the studio working on further solo productions and has just compiled the 10th Anniversary compilation of the Pulp Fusion series. A very busy, highly influential and well respected figure who we are proud to present for Octobers edition of theGoodFoot. This is going to be a night of cutting edge Hip Hop, dusty original Break Beats, deep Disco, hard hitting Funk , Rock, Jazz, Soul, classics you know and don't from all over the world, and one hell of a Party.....you dig!!

Yes....the name has been changed to Bruin...why...I don't know. The general vibe of the place has been kept, along with the same Dj line up as before. The sound has been improved a lot and there is a proper dj both under the stairs. The plinth above the bar has been taken out. The second set of doors as you walk in has been removed and so have the windows, you don't feel so cut off from the main bar area if you sit in there now. The toilets have been fitted out with new flooring and wall coverings etc... The walls have been tidied up and some new dark wood paneling has been put in along side the existing brickwork. The old beaten up couches(that i kinda liked) have been replaced with a mixture of new furniture.....stools, chairs and cubic poofy's that you see in most other bars. All in all, I think the place is looking quite good and is not a million miles away from what it was like before.

Every Wed from 9:00-2am@Bruin(a tarted up Estaminet with better sound) on LittleJohnSt. next to the Aberdeen Union. The Wed night party that is open to anyone and everyone without any barriers on either the musical style or the clientele welcome. You are likely to hear the most obscure bearded music to the most upfront dancefloor friendly party classics via: Street corner Hip Hop, Reggae, Weirdo Disco, Electro, PunkFunk, Balearic Pop, Dad Rock, Old School House, Funk, Soul and many a crate classic.
