Hey Folks,If you took a look at our latest preview “Proud To Be Pride” you will realise that the countdown to Pride London has very much begun, but further more that a whole load of the gAylist clubbing scene’s current big guns will be swinging into action over the weekend of 3rd July.
So, in a short series of Hot Dates posts, we will be focussing on these parties, the first getting our attention looking like it will be the hottest ticket in town for Pride Saturday, as the SuperMartXe steamrolling machine takes the capital by storm with its special “Wizard Of Oz” Gay Pride Special party, which will be held at its usual home, The Coronet in Elephant & Castle. But this is not just a specially themed party, as the Logan Presents team will be joining forces with Jodie Harsh’s “Circus” in what looks like being a sell-out event, despite some of the lovely latino’s being tempted away from the capital for Madrid’s own Pride festival. So what can you expect from this latest SuperMartXe London instalment?
Well, ever since it was launch to a then unsuspecting public back in November 2008, SuperMartXe has stole the headlines & captured the imagination of clubland London like no other event we can think of, and right from that first party, the trademark stupendous stage shows, prolific pyrotechnic effects & massive euro style & espaniol tainted music have been the bywords of this smashing Spanish brands escapades in the capital. Such has been the success that promoter Logan Schmitz has successfully tempted the faithful down to huge parties at Brixton’s O2 Academy, both NYD and Easter proving real hits and on top of that, has added the Matinee London crown to his list of achievements since breaking away from the brand back in the summer of 2008. His reputation for organising & drawing on one of the hottest looking crowds in town is short of miraculous and the parties he lays on in celebration have become THE places to be & be seen.
And “Wizard Of Oz” looks set to continue that tradition, as Logan together with his team of schmitzels, have already begun laying down the blocks that will form the yellow brick road leading you to their own glittering version of The Emerald City at The Coronet in London’s Elephant & Castle on Saturday 3rd July. With such a strong theme to the party, you can expect that they will be pulling out all the stops to make the stage one stunning spectacle, not to mention dressing up the gorgeous & glamorous array of dancers in appropriately themed costumes, the lion, the tin man & the scarecrow definitely getting more than a look in and a little birdie tells me that Logan’s own pooch “Bronx”, while not very Toto looking, may be playing a brief role in proceedings. However, as yet we are not quite sure who will be playing the leading role, Dorothy, (possibly Naomi in an in a pair of bright red heels!), but expect a dynamic & dazzling display to match & maybe exceed any show of Logan’s yet. Mind you Dorothy could also be powerful P.A. Abigail Bailey, who hit the big time back in 2005 with her massive club hit “I just Can’t Get Enough” and will most likely treat us to that as well as her brand new hit “Touch Me” which stormed & topped the charts across Europe within days of its release.
In terms of the music, all the usual SuperMartXe boxes have been ticked and taking centre stage will be the drop dead gorgeous Hugo Sanchez, swooping in on London direct from Spain for the party and, despite being billed as the “Wizard” for the event, we put more in the league of the handsome prince (wrong film we know!) but not only will his looks smoulder, but his music will too and judging by his last performance, this should be one superb set to savour. Another D.J. that has been making considerable SuperMartXe waves recently is London’s own Spanish inspired disc spinning star, Tony English, who treated us to a tank load of terrific tunes at the last “Hot Wheels” party, packing out the dancefloor right up to the 7 a.m. finish, but this time raises the curtain on musical proceedings with what should be a rousing rhapsody of rhythms to get your trip down that yellow brick road more than hopping, skipping & jumping. But completing the tremendous trio in the SuperMartXe main room, is none other than Italian stallion Pagano, whose unquestionable talent behind the decks has seen him play in some of the most prestigious parties & events on the gAylist London scene, his style of hard hitting progressive & tech sure to be a hit in this specially themed “Wizard Of Oz” and may even tumble the glacial walls of The Emerald City with the power & enthusiasm he develops behind the decks. And as a little treat & prelude to the music you can expect at this enchanting event, check out the second in the series of “Logan Presents” podcasts, like the first presented by resident Tony English & featuring Hugo Sanchez, which runs down some of the biggest hits making waves on the European dancefloors at the moment, not to mention news & info on forthcoming events, as well as that all important mix from Hugo, all which is available now at http://loganpresentspodcast.podomatic.com/.
But the action isn’t just restricted to the main room, as the Jodie Harsh “Circus” outfit rolls into town and we are sure she & her fun filled crew will definitely add their own element of magic to the whole event, not in the wicked witch sense of course, but with all the glitz, glam & razzmatazz that is very much the byword of this fabulously full-on clubbing alternative. And with Jodie possibly attracting a smattering of glitterati too, she will be taking her turn behind the decks, along with “Circus” favourite, the super talented & vivacious Kris Di Angelis, a guy with whom we have been rubbing social shoulders with for as long as we can remember and always delivers a delectable doze of dance & harder hitting house. But, as if these two divine D.J.’s were enough, adding to the “Circus” clowning around is the legendary Fat Tony, who makes his first appearance at a SuperMartXe inspired event & will surely draw more than a handful of punters away from the main room, this prolific performer having been there & done that, quite memorable sets coming at Trade, DTPM, Matinee & Orange just to mention a few, so we definitely know where we will be when a certain Mr T starts spinning the sounds.
Right so that’s the action covered, so now to that all important detail and SuperMartXe’s “Wizard Of Oz” gay pride special party featuring “Circus” takes place on 3rd July from 10.30 p.m., running through until 7 a.m. Tickets priced at £15 are on sale, but already selling fast, so make sure you either jump online now & grab yours at http://clubtickets.com/ or at Soho outlets, Prowler, Clone Zone & DV8, as well as at SolarStation, Santos & Mowen, and bars The Box, Profile, & both Barcode’s. Plus if you fancy going VIP then why not indulge, with special table packages & tickets available through http://supermartxelondon.com/. And, talking of Profile, make sure you keep tomorrow night clear & head down to Wardour Street, as the team will be bringing you another smash pre-party at both Profile & Lo-Profile, Tony English tantalising you downstairs with some pre main event pulsating tunes, Logan & his band of schmitzels on duty, decking out both places in SuperMartXe production & plenty more, including dancers in the Profile window & downstairs in the club, more details of this coming up in our weekend recommendations post.
So, come Saturday 3rd of July, make sure your are not cowardly like the lion, that your outfit doesn’t make you look quite like the scarecrow and if you insist on wearing tin, make sure it is nice & polished to match your shiny red shoes, click those heels, grab your Toto and head off down the yellow brick road to The Coronet in Elephant & Castle for Logan Presents “Wizard Of Oz” event as this is very much one hot, hot date!
