Great idea for a movie.,Inbetweeners V Hostel part 1.
Speaking of bouncers in loos, it reminded me when I used to go to the Loft parties at the Light Bar in Shoreditch. There was alway a massive dude standing by the sinks offering a squirt of soap and next to him was a pot of lollipops, I took one thinking it was free (well the food was included at Loft parties so was a fair assumption?) They weren’t and he ran after me shouting “one pound!”. I never went in there again.
Does this practice of bathroom attendants still exist in London Clubs, I didn’t get it at the time but was maybe a deterrent for stopping people doing cheeky lines off the cistern. Stopped me from going to the loo entirely

Fond memories of the guy in the toilets between AKA and The End around 2004, chanting “No Soap. No Hope” like a mantra. Lovely fella but in my pickled state never stopped to consider what that job must have been like

I have a copy of an Irish short lived magazine that was all satire and this issue had piss take interviews with toilet attendants . Looking at the cover now it’s hard to believe it was sold in shops…

Watched the whole thing to find out what he was cheating on tech house with. It’s Afro house. E also doesn’t use headphones by the looks of things and I felt quite murderous towards him and all it took was 3 long minutes.

Insragram was very insistent that I watched every James Hype video possible for a while so I had to block + mute etc
he basically relentlessly hammers the shit out of the cue buttons for the entire set . Every comment section is a mix of “REAL DJING!” and “WTF IS THIS SHIT?!”
he does appear to be doing something but its a very different skillset to what I would consider “good DJing” to require. Its more “good muscle memory”.

He must spend frigging hours setting up loads of cue points on Rekordbox!!

Wish I could find it but there was a great Insta of a guy going round the house tweaking all the on/off switches à la Hype…
I was looking for that clip, when he passed him extra mints at the table was brilliant…

Brighton bouncers seem to be nicer than many out there. I went to the Faith do at the Waterbear earlier this year. one of best friends brought her 19 year old son down and despite having to watch a bunch of 50 -60 year olds bounce off the walls, he and his girlfriend seemed to enjoy it.
He went to the loo and got chopping one out. He was going to get kicked out but he told the bouncer that not only did his Mum not know that he had the odd line and she would be furious, but also that he was her carer and had to keep a watchful eye on her and drive her home. The bouncer asked which one was mum and after clocking her, nodded his head and told him he could stay. He did not confiscate the drugs and made the lad promise he wouldnt do anymore.
A good and wise solution.

Friend of mine does the sound and lights for a venue in Boston that books these guys and they get sent all of the light and video syncs beforehand and according to him “none of them mix anything”. Seems soulless.
They asked a DJ if he wanted to keep playing and apparently got told that they didn’t prepare “any extra music for the show”. So DJ may be a loose term.

“no soap, no hope” is a lot nicer than the “no splash, no gash” line some of them would say when trying to convince you to use some of their aftershave.

If one of your mates was DJing like that, you’d take him aside and direct him to the mental health thread on here. Cry for help if ever I’ve seen one.
