KU BAR DJ QUEST FINALE

28/08/11: What better way to spend the weekend than in one of our favourite bars, checking out some hot DJ talent and drinking with some dear friends?

Ku’s second annual DJ Quest has been running all summer, with scores of fresh Soho spinners eager to impress the always up-for-it Ku crowd and a panel of hard-drinking, freeloading, talented judges.

Me old muckers Dusty O, Ku gaffer Gary Henshaw, Boyz editor Extraordinaire Luke Till, one of the hottest DJs of the moment Kris Di Angelis and yours truly sat three feet from the DJ booth, scribbling on clipboards and scrutinising every move of the young hopefuls. No pressure, then!

We must say, all three brought something different to the table, spinning out their own unique flavour with some pop-heavy remixes – easily ensuring the walls were rumblin’ and the tipsy boys weren’t gumblin’. The room was ram-packed and poppin’ like champagne bottles as the judges headed upstairs to deliberate.

Things got tense… reality TV show tense! All that was missing was dramatic music and camera angles at this cross between Soho’s Got Talent and Fagon’s Den.

We soon agreed that the lovely Thanos was the best deck diva to join Ku Bar’s glittering ranks, and he will start his weekly residency at Ku Bar Frith Street and a monthly residency at smnokin’ hot Vauxhall den Onyx. Congrats gurl, you proper got the crowd werkin’!

There will also be a special Ku Bar Takeover at Onyx on Friday 9th September, where runner-up Matt Bogard (gorgeous and ridiculously talented – keep an eye on this one too) will play, as a reward for coming second. What an amazing night!
