This Indie DJ night is appropriately called Propaganda. We say appropriately, because by dropping big names their founder is involved with, Propaganda creates quite some hype. By dropping big names like OASIS and JARVIS COCKER and the RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS, everybody immediately gets a hard-on and spunks their pants.
Propaganda uses Propaganda.
That said, PlanetNotion buys it. We think that the night, taking place at KOKO, Camden on February 18th, looks pretty fucking good. We immediately want to check it out.
It’s like the time we were at the Rotisserie counter in Asda and saw that yellow, smiley, smart-price face on a poster reading: ASDA NEEDS YOU. We wanted to be that smiley face. We wanted to cook chicken and stack shelves and have our brain-raped by the mundanity of the nine-to-five. Two years later we were an alcoholic, with bad facial fuzz and a nervous stutter.
Then we found ourselves writing about it…
Anyways, enough of the history. Propaganda will be inviting special-guest Zane Lowe to DJ on the night. As MTV and Radio 1’s main talisman of new music, Lowe will launch Propaganda on the countries capital.
You see, Propaganda has held nights before – 8, in fact – throughout the country. A total of 10,000 people regularly attend every week, making it one of the biggest showcases of Indie music in the UK. As guest DJ, Zane follows in the foot-steps of the likes of Lily Allen, Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Pigeon Detectives, We Are Scientists, Fratellis and Editors.
Also playing on the night will be DJ Dan. Sure, his name sounds a bit wank, but, as referred to earlier, DJ Dan has DJed at parties for the likes of Jarvis Cocker and is the after-show party DJ for Oasis. This means that he’s the proverbial bees-knees and as Propaganda creator, the night should more than live up to its glowing reputation.
Propaganda regular, DJ Geck will also play on the night, whilst Digital Disco will provide electro, house, beats and breaks in Room 2.
