Nastydirtysexmusic, Interview with Tim Sheridan and Smokin' Jo

Reported by Shaun / Submitted 08-11-04 20:42

In an ever more confusing world, it doesn't help that what once meant bad now means good. Whereas once wicked meant evil, now people use it as a term of endearment when describing, say, a tune. To a newly learned English speaker the phrase nastydirtysexmusic will probably sound like music from hell but those familiar with the concept of filthy music know better.

In response to the sugary happiness of disco house, bouncy hard house and fluffy trance has come a muscial movement that is increasingly growing in popularity. This music still makes people very happy but in a different way to the traditional euphoric sound - you could make love to disco house but to filthy house you would have to f**k - think Britney Spears of 4 years ago and Britney Spears now - both would make you a happy man but in very different ways Wink Two of clubland's leading proponents of this twisted and filthy sound are Tim Sheridan and Smokin Jo - they launched nastydirtysexmusic in Ibiza this summer and since then it has become one of the most exciting promotions around this year. Tim has been around in the dance scene since the eighties and was involved in the Utah Saints and the Perfecto FC outfit The Dope Smugglaz. He has been resident at Home in London and Manumission in Ibiza. His partner in crime Smokin Jo is another stalwart of the clubbing scene having been dj-ing since the early nineties, she was resident at infamous after hours club Trade and has played at most of the biggest house clubs in the UK and the world. They let me fire a few questions at them to find out what this nastydirtysexmusic is all about....


....After 2 successful parties at Ministry of Sound this Saturday sees the grand finale of this mini-residency.


Tim, you have been involved in the dance music scene since the eighties and your first break into the scene came from the Utah Saints. Jo, you have also been a figure on the scene since the early days of house music- What attracted you both to club culture?

TS: I think if you are talking about 'attraction' it's a word that applies to more recent converts. Sometimes DJs ask me things like "how did you get into it" or " I have trouble breaking into the business" and it's so hard to explain that to me it was always there! How do I say this? My Dad often says that the 60's were something that happened to everyone else and to an extent a retro look at the eighties or whatever (I was just out of O levels) is a rose tinted one. I DJed at 'discothèques' and youth clubs and played tapes and mate's house parties and I played for nothing for decades. I had jobs here and there and a lot of being on the dole and played at weekends so in the same way I could say I've always been a musician, but never got paid for it...I've always been a DJ. Much as many people reading this are. The 'industry' grew up around me. Most of the big djs you see at the top are in their 40's and are older than the 'industry'. The only way you end up there is really if you enter at ground level and the industry lifts you up like an elevator. I had ups but mostly downs. Attraction is a funny word; I resisted House like I resisted Goth and lately Electro. It's always a fad and fashion to begin with, then after a while people who are actually musical get their hands on it and it becomes actually good as opposed to virtually good. So I guess you could say I was a DJ playing music like rare groove and Trouble Funk and Earth Wind and Fire and after a while I was mixing that with what later became House (was actually 'electro' not to be confused with electro!....Kraftwerk etc) and one day 10 years later I looked up from the deck and everyone was looking at me!! Which was f*cking weird I still think it's f*cking weird by the way, but I force myself to smile and make hand puppet shows. You have to realise, when I started no one looked at the DJ, they looked at each other. A good example is when this year the DC10 terrace was stopped from playing music. Everyone still faced the booth!
Jo is like totally proper compared to me. Real proper London scene and stuff since day one. I was more of a producer and jobbing musician till the mid 90's. I was in Acid Jazz bands and stuff while she was doing Trade!

SJ: I was a very troubled child and teenager, a bit of a misfit to be honest, I was brought up in various children’s homes from aged 7 months till 9 years old when I went back to live with my mother. I started taking drugs at school by the age of 12. Speed, hash, glue, poppers. As I lived in London and went to school right near the center of town ( Edgware road) I knew about all the clubs , bars, parties that were going on, As I looked older than my years by the time I was 13, 14 I was going out all the time to the Mud club, The famous Wag club, Heaven, Taboo. My mum was a night nurse so I was able to sneak out at nights without her knowing as long as I got back before 8am I was fine. I loved the people that went to these clubs, the freaks, characters, gay, straight, trendy, suddenly for the first time I felt right at home. (that says a lot) No-one judged me. My whole life I'd felt, ugly, too tall, too thin and experienced a lot of racism. Suddenly all these things I hated about myself were the things that people liked. I fitted in, I was one of the gang, I was cool. The music played a massive part for me, I had to go out and hear the latest tunes. When house music arrived in the late eighties I couldn't get enough of it. The feeling of togetherness in the clubs and raves the family feeling at some of the regular parties, knowing everyone on the dance floor, the happy spirit, the drugs and of course all this new music was just the most exciting thing in the world to me. I had to be a part of it, I followed certain djs and started to buy all the records, I was obsessed.

Tim, your rise to prominence in the dance music scene came mainly through your involvement with the Dope Smugglaz. Could you explain to harderfaster what this project was about and are there any plans for any revival?

Phew! What was it about? It was very lofty in concept. I thought it was like the KLF and everyone else thought we were Jive Bunny! The Utah Saints at the time were second only to the Shamen, it's funny how C has gone on to be so cool after 'Ebeneezer Goode' and we were not really allowed to be cool because we were from Leeds. And I think he is as unapologetic as we are. It was interesting. I can blow on, and probably will! about how we were a concept and had art exhibitions and the first Motion Capture video....how we had a revolutionary record deal (50% of sales!!) and directed every video and every image but it means f*ck all if you're not cool! I had no idea that you weren't allowed to have fun. Frank Zappa did an album called 'Is Humor Allowed in Music?" and he's a bit of a hero. As I say, I thought people got the joke. I've yet to meet someone who did.
We were the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart and mostly the KLF. We forgot to tell people it was a 'project' as you say. I think people missed the clues. The idea was I sat down with the Utahs and explained the process of getting Press and PR and they already were masters of the music. Sampling was big but over, and I saw myself as Malcolm MacLaren but with music training. Just as arrogant too. For example, everything you hear on 'Double Double Dutch' is performed. Every string and vocal and sound is made by me and Keith Binner my partner and very occasionally a session guy. months of recording. We did it so well we literally could not convince people it wasn't a 'sample record'. I spent months recording all the noises for the breakdown which was a garden fete in a fantasy village green! The sound of the 'thwack' of leather on willow, glasses tinkling and birdsong and tubular bells (real ones). All done in a box in a basement in Burley in Leeds. Not one person noticed, and I'm including everyone in the industry too. It's like somebody doing a school of 'ultra realism' painting like they did in the 50's and 60's and people thought they were a photo. Too clever by half someone called it. Good point really... I suppose to sum it up we sat with Oakey in our local in Leeds and basically bet him we could get Perfecto in the mainstream charts and won the bet, we never thought people would hate us for it. Should have thought about the consequences really. Not sure about a revival really. The whole thing was brain, now I make music with my nether articles. Much more rewarding. No money though....never was!



Tim, you were one of two residents at London Superclub Home. Do you feel that the era of the superclub is now over as clubbing downsizes after a period in the late nineties of massive expansion?

TS: I’d better point out I'm on my own at the computer here. So Jo's not sitting around waiting to have a go!
Superclubs was a media word. The 'rivalry' between Home and Fabric was made up by the media and I can say this with some authority as the only person ever to play both when they opened. Big 'super' clubs are still there. I think people get p*ssed off at being ripped off or taken for granted. I think the mainstream element has receded and the aficionados are back at the forefront which is ace. To me House Parties, Free Parties, Raves...whatever were always better than any club. That's why we've done so well recently. Took that ideal and applied it to everything. As a news follower I know that that period was a time of expansion for everything. Clubs just reflect the outside world. Like the election last night. That will reflect directly and you won’t even notice.

Tim, As well as being a DJ and public face in dance music you are a very active person behind the scenes having set up Kiss FM in the North of England and running Saville Row records with Jon Carter. What is your take on the current state of dance music in the UK? How can it fortunes be revived in your opinion? Jo, as a Dj and club promoter what is your take on this?

TS: Ha! That’s nice of you. I don't feel like a public face! I'm a f*cking bigmouth though innit. I suppose people call me because I exist outside of the industry, and can talk outside of it as it were. I mean, you have your perception out there, you read my 'press' but I'm the same as you lot. Totally not special, just around a long time. You lot reading this will be attempting to do what you love and struggling a bit in ten years I bet. For instance Saville Row sounds cool but the reality is me and Jon and Dave Chambers having a laugh and losing money. Good tunes though. I set up Kiss, was head of specialist programming, staffed every job in it, played every night and it was flogged to Galaxy and I went in one day and my keys didn't work. I'd told everyone the day before at the 'meet the new boss' meeting that it was all sh*t and they'd all be gone in a year so they locked me out! I was right though! Everyone was gone in a year. From the news and weather team to Ralph Lawson and Rob Tissera. The day before I had Thomas Bangalter's Spiral Scratch on the A list rotation, when I listened from the car park when locked out, it was f*cking Robbie Williams. Says it all.
If you have enough cash it takes about 24 hours to change something forever. It took me a year to get over that. I've hated corporations ever since. I was a fat nutter ranting on street corners with a scraggly beard and baseball cap while Michael Moore was still thin!
So in answer to your question sorry! you are confusing me with some kind of player! I'm not Eric Morillo, I'm a Dj who plays for free and gives away CDs! I couldn't give a toss about its fortunes, burn Hollywood burn!

SJ: As we all know the scene is going through a really rough time at the moment. I think in general the quality is lacking in a lot of clubs and records. It’s the same old thing re-hashed and put out again. I'm quite positive about what’s happening in smaller clubs, the better end of the electro club scene is very exciting, all the new after hours that are going on in London are wicked. I think it's a case of things need to go back to basics, big names and big clubs are over (at least in the UK) , it's time to connect more with the people.



You both now live in Ibiza full time. What attracts you both to the Island? What is it like living there in the winter?

TS: Full time no, a good 50% is travel. The winter is quite special and not for you lot! It's mine! It goes green practically overnight around end of Oct....

SJ: I came to Ibiza in 1992 for the first time, I fell in love with it within a few hours of arriving. It’s a beautiful place; of course the sun, sea and sand aspect is a big thing for me, but also the free and easy feeling and lifestyle. The quality of life is just so much better, the food is better, fruit and veg taste like what they are supposed to. London for me became a place to survive not to live. I was just dj-ing and going to chill -outs till Monday evenings, taking loads of drugs every weekend because there is nothing much else to do. Of course there are plenty of drugs in Ibiza too, but I'd rather be at DC10, Bora Bora or at a villa party than in a cheesy flat in the east end with it p*ssing down with rain outside. Winters are lovely here. It’s very very quiet a lot of people find it too tranquil. For me with my hectic schedule to come back here and have peace , quiet and sun, yes it's still sunny most days in winter is heaven. Pacha is still open as well as an after hours club called Lucifer on Sundays as well as a few local parties, locals do like to carry on partying in the winter, which is cool.


Ibiza this year saw the launch of your promotion nastydirtysexmusic; tell us how the concept for this night was thought up & what kind of music can people who come expect to hear?

TS: The concept was organic in the sense that Manumission was over and we decided to 'do our own thing'. As simple as that. I wanted to do a free party, very Ibiza in spirit but with extreme music. Stuff only we could get really mixed with some slightly more accessible stuff. A lot of Electro nights are total electro. Nothing else and the more extreme the better. We took the best bits of it, along with the best of all the other stuff. Also kind of Jo would be playing a tune and I would say "that's totaltech", or that is "mongotron". In the studio you make up words and phrases as a necessity, because for electronic and 'made' sounds there is no lexicon to describe it. And when you work with a computer and non musicians you describe using words. I used to play as a musician in studios and to explain something you just played it. But in the production stage you talk. So more and more I would say "that's nasty!" and 'nastydirty' and eventually this phrase kept coming up to describe several different separate tunes, but they have this unification underneath. I mean one tune is breaks, one electro, one even rock. You see? So we play 'nastydirtysexmusic'. To us that is like asking Tiesto what kind of music can people expect and he answers; Trance. We answer; nastydirtysexmusic and you'll get it too if you listen. One favourite moment of the season was a mate coming up to me at I think the 2nd! party. He said completely unsolicited "I get it! This is all nasty, dirty, sex-music". It fair warmed my old cockles.... would you like to see some of the lyrics I wrote to our anthem 'nastydirtysexmusic'? I'll answer yes for you and risk appearing like a sweaty megalomaniac! Jo sang it and it's awfully rude. You'll get an idea from the extract below ;

flip me over with my best boots ooon
it's at it's best when it's done all wrong
salty, beastly, naughty, awful
Can't do me there cos my hole's too small

nasty is as nasty does
classy look, dirty buzz
fill me, drill me, tie me up then bill me
you can go now

Got me in a funky predicament
The hunt is on when I get the scent
sexpot crackpot, dirty f*ck robot
slide it right in till I lose my mind

it's coming thick and fast
filthy beast, sexual outcast
radiant, sentient, brotherf*cking deviant
What is your problem? I am your problem!

and sing along with me kids!...NASTY, DIRTY, SEX, MUSIC.. deedle eep blop, deedle eep blop etc etc (someone kill him!) Soz.

SJ: Tim & I played back2 back last summer on the Space Terrace, I'd not done it much before so was surprised to find I actually enjoyed doing the "one on one" thing and it sounded great. We had really positive reactions from the crowd too. So in the winter whilst we were in the studio Tim cooked up the idea of nastydirtysexmusic, it was his name for a sound and style of music. We ended up making a track called nastydirtysexmusic as well, which Tim wrote the lyrics for I spoke them. Both of us wanted an environment where we could play whatever tunes we wanted, and we were also keen to put on some free parties, get back to the underground and have some fun. So we hatched the plan, we'd call it nastydirtysexmusic and have a free party after DC10 each Monday. To help us promote the party we roped in Joe Upton who put on the best closing party of last summer and was a bit of a face about town, he helped us get the right crowd in and we had our first party straight after DC10 opening at a small restaurant on Talamanca beach called Ciao Rosina, it was a no frills affair, we hired in a really good sound system and just played the stuff we loved, around 1000 people turned up and the reactions were phenomenal. Regarding the music, well Tim's style is every-style-eclectic, bumpty, breaks, electro and out there sort of mad scientist. I'm kinda dirtyhouse, deep funky, bumpty thang but we've both play some of the cooler electro-house that's out right now. Also neither of us are afraid to play older stuff and vocal tracks, our motto is if it's a good tune... play it. It doesn't matter what style or how f*ckin 'cool' it is. It’s about having fun and giving the crowd a good time innit?

How did the night go in Ibiza? Tell us the story of your Ibiza 2004 season...

TS: Started on the beach for free. Got busted and arrested. Moved to Space, Ministry, etc etc played ace records and everyone started talking. They still are and when it stops so will I. Next week probably~!

SJ: As I said Ciao Rosina opening was fantastic, from that night on we had a big following of people coming down for the music, and we were much talked about. 6 weeks into the season the police came and busted us, I was totally gutted, as it was getting better and better each week. We found ourselves with no venue for 2 weeks which was so painful as a few other promoters had cottoned on to the afterDC10 party thing, and were putting on parties which quite frankly were not any good. Luckily Space were looking for a concept/Djs play in the new Red Box room on a Sunday, we approached them and ended up getting the whole room to ourselves, from 1am till 7am each week. I had a total ball, the punters loved us and so did Space, especially all the security, who would argue who got to do the door of our room! We had a hardcore following that would support us each week, which was lovely. Of course it wasn't free and it wasn't on the beach but our love of the music and the feeling that we created made the party rock, I'm not just saying that, it really did, it was rockin' each week. We then did a final closing party at a restaurant called El Ayoun, we had planned on doing a villa party, but seeing as the police were cracking down so much we wanted to make sure our party went ahead. It was truly awesome, although the police did bust us at 730am, by that time we had already passed into legend. (Check out; http://www.ibiza-voice.com/news/news.php?id=444) So for me the season was great, I worked my butt off, as I was flying off every weekend to do my international gigs, I'd get back on Sunday evenings a wreck and still go play Space for 6 hours with Tim.


What effect will the closure of the smaller free venues such as Bora Bora have on the future of the Island? Is it becoming too much of a rich man's playground?

TS: Not really. They'd like that, the conservative counsel. But it's more like it'll be Torremollinos not St Tropez if they carry on. If they alienate the cool people (the poor, real ones I mean, the real freaks) the rich won't come anyway. They only come to hang on cool coat-tails. You know types like Puffy are so desperate; he is really out of his element here and very much a follower. I think the Counsel Insular will learn slowly by force of applied economics. Till-school. I hope so. I really think only the true freaks will come at the start of next season. I don't care. I only need a small crowd to be happy and I don't want their money. Some people won't come because of what happened this year, but after a couple of months of people like me and Jo and the DC10 crew having it right off they'll be back.

SJ: Well I think that seems to be what this government want, Ibiza, the new San Tropez! Closing Bora Bora and cracking down on the other parties is so the wrong move. It's going to kill the Island, you have to offer choice and diversity, otherwise people get bored. Some of the big clubs want to keep the pie all to themselves, it's wrong and they will all regret it in a few years. Ibiza is all about being free to do what you pretty much well want, now if the only choice is to pay 50 Euros to get into a club to hear the same old djs well a lot of punters will not want to do that, it's just not pushing things forward...

NDSM launched at the Ministry of Sound in September 2004. How did this come about?

TS: Nastydirtysexmusic is a modular thing. It's an idea and ideas can travel and adapt. Jo had been looking to do her own party in London for ages and it's really tough. None of the venues had the balls to take a chance, or they were booked out or whatever. I'd been to Ministry for the Saville Row parties and thought "Ok, it's still perhaps the best sound system after maybe Fabric, the door price is cheap, the bar is cheap and Phil Sales the Sat Session promoter is a good bloke". After (and I must stress only after) we had such a stratospheric season suddenly London was interested again so to punish them I chose Ministry!! NO! That’s a gag. Nasty is about surprising people. It was perhaps, after being an Ibizan free beach party, Ministry of Sound in London is the last place you would expect. Mostly they said yes to things like free gifts, were a good price for our people to get in etc... But primarily it sounded awesome. I'm a sound nerd. I've been involved in music every single day of my life. That was the clincher. I talked to Jo and she was smart enough to look at it like that. Opening night I think I was the only person including perhaps Ministry and our gang that thought it would work. I was nervous but quietly confident. The clincher was Time Out purely by co-incidence had been to our beach party. We got a good preview from them and also I think what...? 10,000 plus people saw us over the season. So a lot of people came to Ministry as a reunion type thing which to be honest, happens a lot in Europe but not the UK.

SJ: M.O.S have been looking to make the club attractive again, make it cool I suppose, they have been putting on some of the better djs and nights, they asked me if I would be interested, at first I wasn't as I had like many others, a bit of negative view of M.O.S... Not so much the club as it's a great venue and sound system... just that I wanted to do a smaller, underground party. Tim was very up for it, and confident we could do nasty there. So seeing as it went so well in summer, we thought we'd give it a go. And it has worked.

You both hosted a further party in October and there is one forthcoming this Saturday. Is this now a permanent fixture at Ministry?

TS: No. Nov 13th is Ultima Fiesta. Last Party. A good gambler knows when to leave the table graciously.

SJ: The last MOS party is Nov 13th.

How does the night differ at Ministry to the parties you held in Ibiza?

TS: It has walls and a roof.

SJ: Musically it doesn't differ at all, obviously location is different and the crowd is too. But the last 2 sessions we did we had a huge Ibiza posse there. Clubbers that had seen/heard us in Ibiza came down to hear us, I was very moved.


Do you have any plans to take the party on an international tour?

TS: Tour is such a formal word. There are international nasties but again, pretty choice and specialised and then off again into the sunset! At that level you are playing something out of context to people who don't really 'get' a lot of more normal music. So that's why we have to do it! I believe when something is good it's pretty much universal. Also we are recruiting for Ibiza. To show it's not all spreadsheets and Mega-yanks and Crystal.

SJ: Yes, we are doing some international dates, we're playing in Jakarta on Dec 17th and Kuala Lumpur on Jan 8th...stuff like that. We'd like to play regular gigs in Spain, Italy and Germany. We had such a good response for the clubbers in these countries in Ibiza; we'd like to carry on the vibe in the winter.

The rise of 'filthy' music has been a relatively recent phenomenon. Why has it become so popular in your opinions?

TS: Never heard of it! Is it a new genre? I thought we were unique. I've been doing this sort of thing for 3 years in London, then Ibiza in Manumission's music box, then at the beginning of this year with Jo. If things are happening serendipitously (my god! I hope I spelled that right?) Then so be it. I'm not precious about things. 99% of our 'success' is due to other peoples records know what I mean? I'm a gypsy Sir, I have no idea what goes on outside my caravan! As regards it's alleged popularity... I hypothesize it might be perhaps because it's ace?

SJ: Ermmm..I dunno has it, it's just a name a tag; people have been using the name dirty house for a while. Lyrics in tunes maybe getting dirtier I dunno. A lot of stuff we play comes from Hip hop acapellas so the lyrics are extra nasty!!

Thanks for your time Tim and Jo, one more question. Please give us your nastiest, dirtiest and sexiest tunes of the moment!

TS: You are most welcome although my time is worthless, my nuts are precious. You want a list of tunes? No point. They are CDRs of mates and stuff. I advise you to check out Tom Mangan, also recording with Cass as 'Cass and Mangan'. And Radio Slave, Matt Edwards is truly unique. The whole thing is about being wide...nastydirty tunes are the sort that most people have one or two of. Jo and I between us cover a lot of ground and decades. There is nastydirtysexmusic in every genre, its finding them and finding the links that makes it. We are f*cking ancient too which helps. A lot is about the collaborative process, we are a lot less nasty and dirty etc on our own. Although when I am solo, I'm particularly grubby and smelly. More Djs should team up. It's better for the dance floor innit.

SJ: Kelis-Trick me-Tiefschwarz mix
The Sea Devils-rocker- (radio slave mix) CDR
Minkool - Remix Ep- tunnigspork
Freeform Five-Eeaaoow -(radio Slave mix)white
smokin&sheridan-nastydirtysexmusic CDR

So there we have it! You should have a clearer idea of what nastydirtysexmusic is now and I would guess you are interested in finding out more? Well, make sure you pop along to Ministry on Saturday so you can hear the peddlers of filth at work - you won't regret it.

Really interesting interview, especially seeing some of the hurdles they have come up against in the London club scene.

Love it. The party at MOS was fantastic. Wish I could be there on Saturday, but I can't.

Excellent interview. Well done to Jo and Tim for NDSM. Luv it!
It's like finding a lush piece of clubland's jigsaw puzzle in your knickers drawer. Oo friggin' la la! Hats off to MOS for getting involved once again with an innovative project ie one with guts. Personally I think Jo's a goddess and that's why she's one of the few females we featured in MAESTRO (Birth of House Music) see www.maestro-documentary.com (which by the way) MOS had the heart & balls to support - London West End premiere and afterparty. I'm taking my entire crew of CyberKitten hard bods there on Saturday - can't fookin' wait! Hyper!

Fuck. I've just worked out who Tim Sheridan is. DJ Tim from a tiny poky club in Harrogate that I used to sneak into when i was 15/16 when all my friends were going to the towny places - Carringtons or Josephines. Ber-limey.

This is so funny. Shauny ( probably the least coolest person on HF) interviewing these 2. If truth be known I would bet a zillion that Twist would be SJs fav underground club as we are so close to what DC10 are it's scary, and Shauny refuses to even think about, the dailiy Express reader that he is!!!
PMSL.

Laughs Out Loud
DC10 - Laughs out loud

You really are falling for your own hype a bit too much this time Steve. Please remember that you only run a small hard house after club in Lodnon. Don't get ideas above your station now Wink To compare your weekly K fest to DC10 is laughable but to be expected!

Excellent interview, the passion for what they're doing really comes through, I'm loving it.

I'm going to be keeping a very close eye on further developments, I'm gutted to miss this Saturday, and if it was for anything but At Night I wouldn't.

From: Exiled Angel on 11th Nov 2004 09:48.24
One of the best interviews this year! - Keep it up Shaun (well...if you can squeeze another one in) and hf, I rarely read the features but they've been brilliant.

As for NDSM - OH MY GOOD GOD I can't believe I didn't get there at Space, and that I'm busy this saturday! Hold the phone, I have to rearrange my entire weekend to encompass this, see you all at MOS!! Hyper!

TD seems very cool btw, as Rainy said he's a funny fcuker. Razz

Big grin Thumbs up Top work all round!

A highly entertaining interview from Mr Sheridan and Smokin; Jo. Utterly gutting it clashes with At Night. Right, Ibiza next year anyone?

From: Nesa on 12th Nov 2004 20:48.18
Excellent interview Shaun! TS & SJ are so interesting and passionate about their music, very refreshing! I went to the last NDSM and had one of my best nights out this year, I am SO HYPED about this Sat @ MoS! Can't fucking wait! Hyper!

From: gravitational pull on 15th Nov 2004 09:53.09
I went to Nasty Dirty Sex music on saturday and I have to say it was one of my best nights out this year. The music is SO sexy and filthy - you can't help but get down and dance! Total Nuff respect innit for Tim Sheridan and Smokin' Jo.

From: whoosh on 15th Nov 2004 15:52.48
Yep. best night and best music. Great interview too, really interesting. Big up Tim and Jo, we love you. The system in the Box is awsome, so suited to that type of music. I'm a happy girl today, my spirit is lifted after a night as good as that.
