Juicelog Fri 160606: Mousse T was playing tonight at Pacha for a Peppermint Jam party. For those that are not familiar with Mousse T’s work he is the guy that brought us “Horny” in 1998 and “Is It Coz I’m Cool” more recently. Mousse was a friendly pleasant guy who mentioned to me that he no longer was working with Boris D’lugosch (the guy that remixed Moloko’s “Sing It Back”) whilst we were walking over to the club. He even showed me and Cynthia a photo of his adorable two year old baby. Like most DJs nowadays he doesn’t spin any vinyl and has opted for the easy and lighter option of carrying CD’s instead.
Over the years he has slowly gone under the musical radar (due to lack of commercial chart success) and so I wasn’t exactly sure what his set was going to be like tonight. I presumed it was going to be funky house but he stunned me when I heard he’s gone down the electro house sound route. The first 1.5 hour of his set rocked the main dancefloor but the last 30 minutes was fairly dire. He tailed off his set with trance like progressive house which did nothing for me. Claire’s mate (the very photogenic Emma Lanford) waited ages to do her thing on stage. For a petit girl she had a very Diva-like powerhouse voice and good stage presence.
Pacha in London isn’t a club I’d recommend to clubbers who like to party. The security staff are a miserable lot and the venue was lacking in atmosphere with hardly any party vibe whatsoever. For a Friday night the venue didn’t manage to pull in the punters (I’ve seen more people in the waiting room at my dentists). It was the total antithesis to the Pacha in Ibiza.
