Art & Design: Ku Poster 1990

Keeping the Ku theme moving along this poster dates from 1990 and comes from the Ku Ibiza Best Years Facebook group 1978-1990. Like the way the designer spelled Rocky’s name wrong and also got the classic graffiti emblem the flying eyeball in there. There are some amazing photos and posters in the group if you want to see more.

Photos: Last Night Of Shoom

Our mate Graham Styles took these years ago at the last night of the Shoom. Love the one of Pete Heller with arms aloft. Happy happy.

Thanks to Steven Hall, Graham Styles and Emma Warren (who dumped her mates outside so she could get in on the night).

If you were wondering what the people behind the mixes looked like now you know. All the balearic people were in town last week for a charity special… Nice day chaps.

Danny Rampling: Kiss FM 1990

If you want a flavour of London clubland in 1990 then you could do worse than take a listen to these pause button tapes of Danny Rampling on London’s Kiss FM. From the balearic Army of Lovers through to some hip house and er, Rozalla, it’s all here.

From Rampling To Fever Ray With Some E.S.P

So a lovely afternoon down at the Afternoon Sessions with Danny Rampling showing that he still has that balearic vibe. He played a lovely mix of sounds and showed it may be time for him to return to his roots.

From there it was over to the Royal Festival Hall to see a wonderful Fever Ray show. Swampy electronics, heavy tribal drums and a murky deep south feel gave us a very deep dark hour. An amazing light show using lasers, sound-linked lounge lamps and costumes added to the whole feeling. It was one of the most interesting electronic shows I have seen to date and comes highly recommended if you like your music dark and mysterious. A couple of parts of the album also have a mid-tempo Compass Point vibe which is always a good thing.

We finished the night off at E.S.P with Steve Terry and Felix from the Tonka Sound System throwing down a lovely mix of disco and house. Perfect.

Here’s a track for those that attended the Afternoon Sessions birthday party.
