This Is Circus: A Multi-Dimensional Exhibition

Legendary club night Circus, for which I DJ, celebrated its 5th anniversary last month and in conjunction with this landmark occasion Circus ringleader Jodie Harsh unleashed a multidimensional exhibition featuring 100 of London's nocturnal characters, showcasing an intricate large-scale photograph of all involved as its centerpiece. The photograph, by Tim Bret Day, was also accompanied by video footage, and the exhibition was held at Bond - 24 Kingly Street. If you missed out don't worry, you can have a look at the video below featuring a glimpse of the installation, as well as the backstage video and the exhibition teaser. I don't have a picture of the full large-scale photograph (featuring the likes of Jamie Winstone, Sadie Frost, Natt Weller and a whole heap of special guests and colorful characters) but I do have my individual photo, where I'm dressed as some kind of fallen angel, check it out! I styled myself with some quirky pieces I've been given over the years, including a Jeremy Scott for Adidas jacket, trousers and mesh top by Horace and boots by No Name:

Intense!

Lovebox Sunday 2011

"Doing away with the tribal boundaries of music genres and defying broader social conventions, Lovebox is now a swelling and unifying three day hedonistic wonderland that contains just as much lust as it does love" SUBBA CULTCHA

Eight years old, Lovebox has become a must do event on the bristling summer social calendar. Held annually in East London in the city's oldest public park, Lovebox is a flamboyant and dazzlingly eclectic celebration. Last year I had a blast attending and this year, on the Sunday (always my favorite day of the festival!) I DJ'd for Jodie Harsh's This Is Circus, for which I'm a resident. I had a great time DJing and really enjoyed the rest of the day. Highlights for me included the colorful performance by Azari & III, their mix of deep-house and soul getting the crowd going early, Kelis' energetic set and of course everything Circus-related! See you next year Lovebox!
