Sexual Sportswear
Sebastien Teliier’s third studio album, Sexuality, was produced by Guy Manuel Homem-Christo (Daft Punk). Whilst being available on CD and LP, the album has also been the source of inspiration in the fashion realm, and more particularly in one of my personal favourites, American Apparel.
In honour of Teliier’s lastest release, they are selling limited edition SexualiTs or SexualiTanks while supplies last.

What’s the Matter?
After two years of talks, designs and speculation, the secrets of the UK’s most anticipated nightclub in a decade are finally revealed!!
MATTER, inside the O2 areana (formally the Millenium Dome), is a multimillion pound, custom-built nightclub, designed, funded and managed by th masterminds behind Fabric. MATTER is a three-floored club, with 2,600 capacity. Its colloseum-like main room is surrounded by 2 floors of balconies overlooking the main stage. Under the dance floor, a BodyKinetic system transmits bass frequencies via 80 transducers through the floor into your body, allowing you to actually feel the beats, as well as hearing them. Eight projectors on robotic arms and a horizontal projection screen above the dancefloor reate a 360-degree immersive environment on the computer-ampped walls.
Upstairs, the 450-capacity room has LEDs set behind its sheet steel walls. VIPs on the floor above get to walk over the crowds below the main dancefloor bia a sky bridge. Their private booths have their own lighting and volume controls.
MATTER have developed a state-of-the-art cloakroom system which scans tickets so your coats will be waiting for you when you get to the front of the queue. They have aso arranged a deal with Thames Clippers to baot people via the river to and from two drop offs, 15 mins away in central London.
The 24-hour license means opening hours are at the discretion of the venue, though I’ve heard that club nights will probably run until 8am.
The type of acts appear this month are: Carl Cox, Yousef, and Arno Cost, whilst John Digweed, Mark Ronson, Armand van Helden and some of the Ed Banger Crew will lead us into the next month…!!

Virtual DJ Booth
Japanese arcade machine lets anyone become PVD for a few yen
Beatmania is a DJing arcade machine that follows the “Guitar Hero” format. The ‘DJ’ spins to Konami-produced tracks, using a turntable and seven buttons. If you spin and tap in sync, it will sound decent. If not, the resulting track will end up being pretty dodgy. All this is judged by the ‘groove gauge’, so even if you think you sounded hot, your grade, from AAA to F, could prove you wrong.
Though an impressive-looking machine, the machine doesn’t quite replicate the thrills and spills of DJing for real. For a start there are no inedbriates hanging around requestng garage tracks, there’s no fear of a stray Jack Daneils and Coke landing in your mixer, and from what I hear, there are no random girls kneeling under the console either!!
There are, unfortunately no plans for Beatmania to come to Europe or the US; worse still, if you want to buy your own, that’ll be a cool £12,000 please!!

Dance To Save The World
CLUB SURYA
The world’s first eco-nightclub run by Club4Climate opened earlier this summer, amid the once-dowdy streets of London’s Kings Cross. From the outside it might not look like much, but once inside (with free entry to those who can prove that they walked or used public transport to arrive!), you’ll be rubbing shoulders with the owner Dr Earth’s celebrity friends in surprisingly stylish surroundings.
It is as green high-tech as you can imagine with all drinks being organic and served in biodegradable glasses.
The big surprise is the dance floor, which uses crystals to absorb the energy of the dances to power the club’s light and sound.
Good vibrations and more at this chic peak of environmental awareness.

DownSize
Looking like something you’d expect to find in a lab, the nano series is Korg’s latest stab at the controller market. Aimed at laptop users, producers on the go and msuic-makers lcked into minimal spaces, the range consists of compact kets, trigger pads and even a channel mixer.
All three are the same size and shape, measuring the same width as a MacBook laptop by a couple of inches deep, and have a low profile. The nonKEY spans two octaves with its 25 keys; the nanoPAD sports 12 trigger pads and an XY pad; while nanoKONTROL offers nine faders and knobs, plus 18 switches and a transport section.
All units feature a consistent white and blue plastic design, and connection is via USB, which also supplies the unit’s power.
Pricing and availability have not been specified yet, but we expect it won’t be long now.
