DEMOLITION PARTY

Straight from the Eurostar to the biggest party of the year, anticipation was high. We were invited to it 3 months ago when we staying in the very hotel The Royal Monceau which they were about to demolish, but not before the most insane party ever. The doors opened at 10pm, we got there 10.15, and there must of been 400 people outside begging to get in, all of which would of graced any club in the world, models and film stars where left outside. Luckily we took the stunners entrance. 

Once inside, it was even more insane, imagine 500 guests running around a 5 star hotel, full of demolition art installations, waitresses in hard hats, and the bar was even a caterpillar truck. We made it to the Le Baron VIP room which was 5 hotel rooms which they had connected by means of sledgehammer. Andre, Uffie, Chi-Chi and the Le Baron regulars as well as some of our favourite fashionistas from London, especially Hannah were there. It was great to see Dangerous Dan and his lady Pip, who named there kid JUSTICE MAXIMUS, probably the best name of all time. 

We went up to the fifth floor where Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis were performing or something, but ended up in a que to demolish some hotel rooms, we put on hard hats and overalls and went at it with a sledge-hammer, pretty tough walls i must say, but with that burst of adrenalin we went back down to the Le Baron Room where we found Nick & Chris, who were also on a rampage.

The party then went into overdrive. Behind one of the bars that was set in half demolished bathroom was a shower and it wasn't long before Wade was in there with a hot model. The bar staff showering them with champagne.

It was then time to for Wade and Chris to DJ the VIP room, they played for an hour or so and the place was heaving, everyone losing there marbles. But then as per normal the sound system blew up, it could of had something to do with Wade dripping all over the cables, we will never know, but there was a lot of smoke. We later all lost each other, Wade found himself in the DJ booth with Soulwax and "accidently" took their bottle of Grey Goose, he felt rather bad about it the next day however, Dave Soulwax said when he gave it to him, he knew he would never see it again, so it was all cool. 

The party was a huge success and will go down in folklore, but it could never really live up to the expectations. 

Incidentally, Kanye West was there, and he came down to hear us play at Le Baron the night after and he requested Kanye West songs all night, fair play to him, but we didn't actually bring any, so here you go Kanye, this one is for you.


P.S We found Mischa Barton, she spent all night on the Le Baron dancefloor.

SHE WANTS TO MOVE

We always like going to parties at Harvey Nichols, but this one might of been the best, well apart from the time we played Richard Cheese's version of Sunday Bloody Sunday during the Bono party and he got super pissed! Anyway, it's not everyday you get to see N.E.R.D perform. We were expecting your standard Hip-Hop set, but instead they sounded more like an electro Rage Against The Machine and they had two drummers, it was really intense and Pharell was more Punk than Crunk. Needless to say there were also so many hot women, it was insane, but unfortunately it all ended abruptly, well apart from Pharell, who we are sure had the time of his life. Special shout out goes to Tamsin Egerton's legs, we lost Mischa Barton though, she gave Fionn the eye, big time.

Here is the video for Pharrell's collaboration with Stroke Casablancas and Santogold for a Converse advert.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS (AGAIN)

Waking up on a random sofa at midday with a party still going on around you, on the day off a mayor tournament is never a good idea. Joining in the party for a few minutes, before pouring a rather large vodka on the way to said tournament, also falls into the same category, streaking the tournament itself after winning is obviously genius, but lets not get ahead of ourselves...


Yes, it was the 5th Annual Hendrick's Gin Croquet tournament, and our Rakehell's team were reigning champions. The team consists off The Piper Machine, Nick Saunders, Sigmund & Wade, who incidentally had a lot of work ahead of him, if he was to beat last years jumping into a passing Ferrari celebration. Fuelled on Gin, lots of it. The team comfortably won their group.


But it would be a lot tougher in the knock-out stages, with the dreaded Swiss...

But with nerves of steal in the Final, they want on to win a consecutive trophy, and good to his promise Wade streaked. Gin hangovers are the worst, we must warn you, but if you are gonna have one, it better be a Hendrick's one.

SPANKYOKE

The Piper Machine invited us all down to his launch for Karaoke Box, a new joint in Farringdon. We all got picked up in A-Team style black van, which pretty damm awesome and the legendary Budgieman greeted us on entrance, you might of seen him on South Bank singing with his budgies. The karaoke machines were not as good as Tokyo, as they didn't have an EQ on the Mike, so no way of disguising out of tuneness, but still lots of fun. We took to the decks with 3 CDs (lost them again) but they were all bangers, perfect a karaoke night, think T-Rex, Blondie & Edwyn Collins, who Akira The Don's rapping partner Narstie made us re-wind!. 

After a while the French Rock'n'Roll band for live karaoke came on, and the party came into it's own. Ali Love, complete with an amazing moustache started off with an amazing rendition of The Stooges' No Fun, which definitely got him some skirt. It was followed by Aggy & Grimshaw's version of Kids In America. The party exploded and the champagne kicked in. All in all it was a great night, so well done Mr Piper, and you can all look forward to forthcoming Sunday karaoke nights at Whisky Mist, starting next week we give you Spankyoke, very silly indeed.

FELIX DA HOUSECAT

Just getting back from Paris and Belgium respectively Wade and Fionn didn't have time to prepare a set. Wade even lost his records for the millionth time (the only reason we started this blog is to have a record of how many times we lose records and headphones). The turnout for Felix was pretty astonishing since we just had a weeks promotion, but then again 9 months ago was such a success, everyone expecting more of the same. The Stunners set totally slayed it, and actually blew Felix out of the water, not sure if that's what a warm up slot should be like, but then again it's hard for a Stunner to hold back. 

As you can tell from above, it was a pretty damm rockin party. Here are a couple of mind blowing new tracks from the Stunners set that were too fresh for Felix. The first track is the first non-remix material from Fake Blood, it's out next week on Herve & Sindens Cheap Thrills label. The second is Duke Dumont's remix of Mystery Jets, it's mindblowing and as good as Switch's Hideaway remix. You should also look out for Riton's remix off Hand Me Down.

BIG IN JAPAN

This week saw the release of Cazal's album What Of Our Future. It's a long time coming, but it's definitely worth the wait. It's a weird time for the music industry and it takes a hell of a lot of money to push a product, so we are not expecting it to shift much in the UK or for Phil to buy us a pint, however the good news is, that our friends in Tokyo are buying it right, left and centre and it tops the weekly charts, ahead of none other than Madonna. 

They played live at the album launch party, and it was the best we have seen them, with confidence and swagger and extremely tight with an air of success they played a blinding set. Afterwards we all went down to Durrr and were blown literally of the dancefloor by Proxy, who was playing his first London gig, expect a lot more from him.
