Playlister FM

Playlister have teamed-up with Quintessentially to provide the musical content and DJ/host Friday nights at the opulent House of St Barnabas. Quintessentially Soho is a pop-up members’ club officially open until the end of 2009, but we suspect it may go on longer. Its aim is to raise money for the charity attached to the building, so all that you consume or imbibe contributes to a wonderful cause. Other DJs we have booked include Chris Sullivan, Crispin Somerville and Martin Green. If you would like to come down of a Friday night, please contact us. For membership, follow the link above.

Jacquetta Wheeler for hooking us up on her Vogue.com blog with this piece. Thanks Jax.

Ben & Dan were booked to play the biggest set on the best stage at The Secret Garden Party this year – sunset on Saturday. The dancefloor was packed, the sun was just setting on a perfect day and we were rocking it. Then disaster struck: the barriers around the edge of dance floor buckled and broke, people started tumbling into the water (the stage is floating out on a lake), the yellow coats came rushing in and closed the stage and the party was over. Never mind, we’ll be back next year – it’s the best festival of the summer without a doubt! Big love to Fred (and congratulations), Eddy and Charlie, and the boys in charge of the Pagoda Stage.

We're at the back, on the decks

This is from a job Ben did in Morocco a few months back, but our friend Al Parker just sent us through the pics (thanks Al) and this one was so good we had to feature it:

Dan & Ben rocked the glitter off London’s party elite at this year’s Serpentine Summer Party, taking over from the Queens of Noise and seeing it through ’til security shut it down to cries of “One more tune!”

Did Ben DJ, or didn’t he DJ at the Helly Hansen Midsummer night party at Sketch?
