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 [...]

we’re at it again. me and fink getting messy with delectable beats at smarties, nice’s very own electro den of iniquity.
show up, if you dare. bare in mind it is AIDS (SIDA) Awareness Day, so think red.
mix to follow.
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:
ok peeps, the summer sojourn being truly over and the end of the rentree nigh, it’s time for ohm and harry covert to get physical down at smarties in nice one more time.
come in droves. there’s nowt but french stuff on the telly. or should i say dodgy american stuff with funny french voices. either [...]

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 [...]
french? swedish? who cares.

my ignorance means little in the [...]
“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 [...]
can’t seem to get away from smarties at the moment. not complaining though. tomorrow night is me and dj ohm spinning fine house and electro. come round if you’re close by.
so, once more fink and kiterae took to the decks at smarties as the current incarnation of nice’s finest electro bar draws to a close (refurb due in august).
a fun night for all until we pumped the bass one notch too far (i blame the monitors and my new headphones – i didn’t have a [...]
