With Dennis Bovell at a soundsystem in Lewisham few years back ~ Architect of Lovers Rock, writer of the iconic smash hit Silly Games and I think particularly pertinent to this post cos of the range of genres he’s been involved in from making prog rock to dub to producing albums from artists including Saâda Bonaire, IRoy, Bananarama, Fela Kuti, the Slits, Orange Juice and Madness. Also pretty much a life long collab with genius revolutionary dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson ❤️🔥
For the love of sound !!!
Last week I went to @nicholas_daley (who I gotta say consistently throws THE BEST parties events ☺️) X @highsnobiety party and cos it was my first time in a club club for agesssssssss, it really got me thinking… for a girl who used to live for the dance floor and who started raving when she was VERY YOUNG 🫣🤣I’ve often thought about how mad it is that clubbing is no longer a core component of my life.
I have been into what many might consider a dizzying range of music scenes over the years 🤪 and was working on a play about dance floors and their role in my life awhile back. Will no doubt return to that project one day, but in the meantime a lil snapshot – pix are scant of much of these times cos photography really wasn’t part of the buzz… | Posted on 27/Feb/2025 00:52:31
