dj fink and harry covert @ smarties, nice, jan 31
January 28th, 2008
one last live foray (if our dreams come off, there maybe virtual outings in the future) into a world of jumbled beats and freaked out house chez smarties. marc will be hitting a milestone around midnight so expect some extra sauce on top of the normal festivities.
for me, the end of an era - as […]
final soiree with dj ohm at smarties - feb 2
January 18th, 2008
sniff. it’s come to this. the last outing for me and dj ohm at the wonderful smarties in downtown Nice.
still, the beats will keep the tears at bay. we’ve also got some new kit in tow (serato) so will have enough on our plates. i’d like to say i’ll record the event, but who knows […]
harry covert and fink @ smarties - the mixes
December 11th, 2007
december saw my 5th anniversary and a fun night in Nice. the Hi Hotel did a fair job at kicking off proceedings in a bar that somehow reminded me of an Early Learning Centre.
we had a passable meal at an italian with one of the more interesting waitresses you’ll find. ‘yum, yum, yum’ was her […]

if you’re around the Nice area of France this weekend, check out me and fink getting down at the newly-renovated smarties bar. hopefully this will say it all:

noces harmoniques
August 27th, 2007
the Cote d’Azur sometimes has a reputation for being one of the more conservative regions of france, given the average age of the population and the generally right-leaning political enviroment. however, conservative is not a tag you could apply to the small hamlet of Camails around the final weekend in august. for over ten […]
Cut Chemist - master of trickery
August 20th, 2007
the art of yoga teaches a young jedi about the discipline of flexibility and balance. but what’s this got to do with the hip-hop portion of the Pantiero festival on a friday night? well, it’s this yogic combination that comes to mind when watching the legendary Cut Chemist in action.
it’s been said that the Jurassic […]
who is Herman Düne?
August 18th, 2007
french? swedish? who cares.
there’s a grizzled crazy-throat on lead guitar, with the power to turn flamenco into driving country music. in contrast, the drummer has that poster-boy appeal and there’s a doctor on the bongos who ever so judiciously injects wafts of horn in and out of a few numbers.
my ignorance means little in the […]
The Rakes - a one-song rip-off band?
August 18th, 2007
“open book” seemed to be plastered all over the radio a year ago. and quite rightly so - the riff was one of the catchiest of the summer. their dead-pan delivery and lyrics for the common man could frame The Rakes as a modern-day Pulp.
unfortunately, on the strength of this concert, this is where the […]
