Future Disco 2
The second of Sean Brosnan’s Future Disco compilations, released on his new label NeedWant, has hit the shelves. I’ve only had one listen so far, but the quality of tracks and edits seems up there with those of the first Future Disco, which was released earlier this year by Azuli. Grab a copy.

Nando Messias: Sissy
Over the past months, I’ve been documenting Nando’s development of his performance piece Sissy, which forms part of his practice-based PhD research on the issue of male effeminacy. This week I’ve been over at the Central School of Speech and Drama taking photos of final rehearsals and full dress rehearsal. The show, created in collaboration with Biño Sauitzvy, is brilliant. Last performance for the current run was last night, but keep an eye out of possible future dates. Nando is also performing next Tuesday (6 October) at Bistrotheque, as part of the UNDERCONSTRUCTION season. Dress rehearsal photos here.

HMD interview on RA…
Good interview with the ever-charming Jim and James from HMD in Resident Advisor today. Nice that they’ve also used one of my photos from the mayhem that was Horse Meat’s 2008 NYE party at Cargo…
