Every other month, super spinner Kris Di Angelis and his band of Bloc’ rockin’, cock frockin’, dancefloor shockin’ party monsters bring their brand of ice cool clubbage to East Bloc. Merrymaking with military precision, the Shoreditch soldiers are gearing up for a confrontation of house and R&B tuneage this Saturday. We sent Lee Dalloway to shed some light on WAR Blackout…

 


KRIS DI ANGELIS

LEE: Hello hot stuff.
If there was a complete London blackout, how would you go about promoting WAR without the aid of social media? Carrier pigeons? Flyer boys? A card in the telephone box?

KRIS: I wouldn’t be doing WAR, I’d dedicate my life to jumping out of hiding

places and scaring Munroe.

So, when did you last black out from over-indulgence and what did you do to get in that state? 

I never have and I never will! I’m way to good at drinking games for that type of school boy error.

What a fucking crock of shit. Let’s get back to ‘reality’, why did you choose the theme blackout and what can we expect from this party? 

Darkness. As much of it as is possible! Plus, we’ve moved things around a bit, I decided I wanted all the lights off and that I wanted to be right in the middle of everything. I think you’ll see/feel what I mean when you get there.

Cool! For any poor soul who hasn’t been to WAR before, how would you sum it up in one sentence?

Full!

 


MUNROE BERGDORFF

Tell us about this month’s WAR… how will it rock our cocks off?

It’s probably the hottest line up we’ve had at WAR to date; three rooms of wall-to-wall hot boys, tranny drama and cheap drinks! Why wouldn’t your cock be rocked?!

If there was a complete blackout, what electrical item would you miss and why?

Most likely the dishwasher. I can’t sleep without it on! I know it’s bad for the environment but I’m VILE if I don’t get enough sleep. Seriously, I turn into a monster. So they way I see it, is I’m actually doing everyone else a favour.

 


TONY DUNNE

What’s your ultimate track for ‘when the lights go down’ and things get sexy?

Easy… Jesto Funk – ‘I’m Gonna Love You’. Slo-mo, sexy with a just-right tempo. Over 20 years old and still sounds amazing. NEVER sleep with someone who can’t dance to this. Actually, never sleep with someone who can’t dance!

If you could be alone in the dark with anyone for half an hour, who would it be and why?

Gareth Thomas, but it needs to happen before he gets the restraining order. You can fix it can’t you? You’re not just teasing?

 


JOSHYOUARE 

What’s the naughtiest thing you’ve ever done in the dark?

I was 16 in a nightclub/Italian restaurant in Southampton… I know… knocking back shots of vodka. Nadia from big brother was there, glam, and I was dancing on a podium, most probably like Xtina circa ‘Dirty’. I kicked something by my foot when suddenly the lights came on and I had knocked some woman out with a Bacardi Breezer bottle! Escorted out…

 


JODIE HARSH

If you could be alone in the dark with anyone for half an hour, who would it be and why?

I would be alone with Munroe Berdorf, completely naked, having ki-ki… not as in party party, but as in hardcore lesbian drag queen sex!

Vom. So, what what’s your ultimate track for when the lights go down and things get sexy?

Anything by Lil’ Kim – she spits real talk and makes me sooo horny. There are some nasty house remixes of her old stuff that are really rare, I’m trying to get hold of a few to drop at WAR.

 


KINGSLEY

Have you ever blacked out thanks to over-indulgence? 

One night, myself and one of my best friends, Jodie Harsh, were invited to Paris Hilton’s party at Mahiki. The drink was free an I took full advantage of this… I don’t remember how or when I got back to Jodie’s flat but I do remember waking up the following morning, and where I had been sick whilst sleeping, it had lifted the varnish off of the wooden floor!

 


DMS

What’s your ultimate ‘blackout’ track, for when the lights go down and things get sexy?
Well, a lot of people have never heard of this track, but if you want something to get you or your other half in the mood, look up a track called ‘Log On’ by Usher! Sexy, sexy, sexy!
