Cloak - Dance ep ( Review)

Image
I like dance music, always have, but something that actually hits the right spot, is not easy either In walks I review what i like listening to.  Sometimes, there are certain levels that some acts can just produce in a various style of dance music The new ep by Cloak, it just fantastic from start to finish. I am a big fan of 90s dance music, which you do not hear very often now, or replicated. I am loving the beat and great production work.  Not every dance act I have come across uses this kind of style. Its normally reflecting the 80s, blending past and future. Most of this ep, reminds me of one of my all time favourite dance tunes, Rui Da Silva - Touch Me ft. Cassandra and Chicane, come to mind. Great build up and mainly synth, which many 90s acts use Just like striking a match, opens with Dance and just get hotter. Blood and Pain, Sunshine are just incredible tunes, with an outstanding summer vibe, no matter what season you are in at the time.  I would say th...

In November, i invited, Chris Oakes down to be a guest on the show. He was going a show on local charity station, Horton Radio, which is in the local hospital.  He had to stop his shows as the Bicester gig he now organises was on the same night. He organised night at the Jericho Tavern, Wheatsheaf, (Oxford), The Bell ( Bicester) and anywhere else he lands He popped up on Facebook one day and i happen to say " Why don't you join me?"

Radio Variety Show on Facebook

The reason i am writing this is just in case you can't see anything i put on Facebook. Since Facebook introduced, what  i call the "Cloaking Device" which means, unless you go to a page and click "Get Notifications" or "Close Friend" the pages you have clicked like on or you have liked my page, unless you do that, the information people put on their profiles, will just disappear. I have see it a few times will groups, pages and people asking me, what i have been doing for the past year, as they have no idea what i have been writting on Facebook, because they can't see shit This is my Facebook Page This is my Group page with my "Umbrella" name, on it People do find my page and i accept people/ Although, unless you click "Get Notifications" i just disappear Thankyou Dj Readman

Ides of March gig, The Flapper, 15th March

Image
We returned to, The Flapper, in Birmingham to watch a few electro sounding bands, including, Among the Echoes performance on a Saturday night This time, i filmed it all. I have enough memory and batteries, that can easily handle all the gig. I was planning to do on camera interviews, but that never happened. it just the way it goes. This was part of two day trip to Birmingham, as me and my wife, Rhonda, booked.  Thought it was a good idea to explore a bit.  We were going to go to a gig on Friday night, to see Drag, but we changed our minds. Its funny when you book a room to stay overnight, you don't really get a chance to use it much. The Holiday Inn, is really comfortable, which, we have stayed in before. This time we booked two night. This time we spent a bit more time in the room and went out for a late meal and explored the shops.  Birmingham  You get an urban part, that goes into a newly built part. Its not just the area around the Bullring as we thoug...
