DJing again!
— I haven't brandished a 12" mix in anger for some years, but this weekend my name's down and I am coming in.”
For the first time in about five years, I will be taking to the wheels of steel again.
I’ll be joining the 6 Feet Underground collective at the Cathouse at the Brixton Telegraph for a special gig as a guest for the night.
Back when I was playing nights as a student to earn enough money to fund my degree, I used to be into Detroit techno and old skool Chicago house.
Now I will be dropping a selection of the weirdmess of sounds I’ve managed to accumulate in the years since, little of it what you would call dance music.
But it will be nice to hear some of my favourites out loud, a rare opportunity that I could not miss myself, never mind all the lucky people who will hopefully be dancing to them and possibly wondering what on earth these unusual musica are!
So see you down the Telegraph, Brixton Hill, November 26th at midnight!

Before this night, I hadn’t been dancing for a long time. Strange thing was, I knew practically everyone there.

Visa problems stopped an Afro-Cuban soundclash in 1996, so producers recorded Buena Vista Social Club. Now after 14 years, the original project is here.

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.
Shameless self-promotion
Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
