DJ Blog-Steven James

Hear Steve spin his super-chic mash up sound in The Loft, every Thursday from 8pm.

Hear Steve spin his super-chic mash up sound in The Loft, every Thursday from 8pm

Steve is a self confessed music nerd with a Zane Low-esq. appreciation of music across most genres. His encyclopedic knowledge of music has laid the foundation for an exciting cross-genre style of deejaying that has kept him busy since 1999.

Steve’s music policy is simple – READ THE ROOM!

 “With such a varied clientele, you have to be prepared to play anything.” Says Steve. “I have a knack for reading a crowd quickly and working off their reaction. Too many Dj’s force their own sound on a crowd and have pre conceived ideas about what they will play. I find that a bit boring, I like going to a gig not knowing who will turn up or what they will want to hear. That’s not to say you play any random crap in your box, every tune must be chosen carefully and mixed intelligently”

  

Catch Steve at one of his many residencies across Scotland and you will hear him play House grooves with RnB, Funk, Disco, Chart, Indie & Cheese! – all mashed together with Steve’s “Controllerism” technique – embracing the cutting edge of Deejaying technology.

“The new technology has given me total control over every aspect of the mix”, Steve says excitedly “I can effectively remix and mash up any tune on the fly with 4 decks at my disposal, but still retain the hands on feel of vinyl! I’m totally hooked, the possibilities are endless!”

 

In 2008 Steve was booked for the Sun’s Miss Scotland Final in Princess Square where he played to a star studded audience of over 2500 people. More recently Steve played at designer label Ed Hardy’s national tour party with DJs Buddy Love & David Craig.

 

Stevens Current top ten:

  1. Pixie Lott – Mama Do (Linus Loves Mix)
  2. Lady Gaga – Papparazzi (Filthy Dukes Mix)
  3. Paloma Faith – Stone Cold Sober (Cicada Remix)
  4. Dizzee Rascal – Bonkers
  5. Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow (Chew fu Mix)
  6. La Roux – Bulletproof
  7. The Saturdays – Work (Cahill Mix)
  8. Soulja Boy – Kiss Me Through The Phone
  9. Agnes – Release Me (Moto Blanco Mix)
  10. Ciara ft Justin T – Love Sex & Magic (Cutmore Edit)

Men's Birthing Classes

Beer and birth classes are for men only and are designed to educate in an environment where they can feel comfortable. They are interactive, informative and fun.

In the classes the men will learn:
•    The stages of labour
•    The all important breathing
•    Positions
•    Massage and calming techniques and
•    Some handy tips and tricks

This will give them the confidence they need to be a great support to a labouring woman.

                         

The classes cost £25, run for approximately three hours and the first drink is included!

The best time for attending the class is when the pregnancy is at 37-39 weeks – to ensure that you have time to practice some of the take home techniques and not too far away to forget what you are taught!

The classes can be used in addition to traditional birth classes and can also compliment the Hypnobirthing™ technique. They are also a great refresher for any second or subsequent birth.

A lot of ground will be covered quickly, but in a fun way. If you find your head is spinning at the end of the session, you are welcome to attend another class for free within a fortnight of your first one.

Fore more information, please email becks@curiousfu.com or call (+44) 07595 841151.




Speed Dating

How it works-

We have 1 long table, with all the ladies on one side and all the men on the other side. You chat with the person across from you for 2 minutes, and when the bell rings, the men move down one chair, and you are facing a new partner. You have a sheet and throughout the night you write down if you are interested in someone.

At the end of the night, you turn in your sheet stating whom you were interested in.  The Erin Gavin Agency calculates the matches and contacts the women with the mens phone number if there is a match.  Then the ball is in the women's court! 

 

Phone 0845 166 6028 to join the guest list!
