The In Sound From Way Out - Perry and Kingsley Live!

Jean Jacques Perry and Gershon Kingsley made some great albums, but I never thought I'd get to see them play such studio based creations live. But here they are, on a 1966 US quiz show. Thanks to genius blog WFMU. The In Sound From Way Out track is about 7 minutes in.

All Aboard For Fantasy Island



I started a new monthly Balearic club in October called Fantasy Island. The club is at the ace Spanish restaurant and bar Camino in the Regent's Quarter in King's Cross, London, a stones throw from the Scala cinema where I used to hang out and watch all night psychedelic  B-movies as a teenager. It's got a massive bar, restaurant and courtyard, and gets busy from 8pm when we start. 

Last month kicked off with Cream/Space resident Andy Carroll guesting. This month's guests, on Friday 27th November, are Reverso 68, Pete Herbert and Phil Mison, famed for their top class white isle beats.

The club is on the last Friday of the month until March, including a big New Year's Eve party with Cosmo and Latin Dub Soundsystem. I've compiled a Fantasy Island CD compilation too, which is available free on the night to the first 100 guests, and includes A Mountain Of One, Coyote, Reverso 68, Deadstock 33's, Space and many more. I'm currently working on a couple of Fantasy Island podcasts, too, which I'll post here shortly.

Come on down from 8pm - 2am. The food is great, the beats 100% Balearic and the night is totally free to get in.

Viva Fantasy Island!
Camino, 3 Varniser's Yard,
Regent's Quarter
King's Cross
London N1 9FD.

8pm - 2am. Free. Map here

Thursday 31st December – Fantasy Island New Year’s Eve Special with DJ Cosmo, Latin Dub Soundsystem live. Come along for NYE - great live band, phenomenal DJ in my guest Cosmo - one of my favorite DJ's ever. Cosmo has the ability to mix any genre to suit the mood, very much like Harvey or her Loft compadre David Mancuso.
