I can't remember if this flyer was the first Kinky Malinki where Addiction and Club Fiction joined together or the second.  Club Fiction was my party started in 1996 and Addiction was Paul's party.  We brought our crowds together to ultimately form Kinky Malinki.

I remember the first time I met Paul, thinking, wow he's loads younger and has a passion and drive you don't often see in people his age at the time.  I really was so impressed by him.  At first we didn't know if it would work, and that's why the flyer was a these guys present party.  But it did work, and the old parties were quickly dropped.

In the beginning we had three rooms and a diverse music policy.  I was always pretty underground.  My love of house started in 87 and I played underground progressive house at Labyrnth in 93'.  Paul brought DJ's with more energy than myself.  Most memorably Matthew Anthony.  I absolutely loved him from the off.  His mixing was Sasha good on vinyl and his sound was uplifting, pumping and energy.  As a new party we already established a unique sound that was different to most and varied too. There just wasn't a sound. It was many sounds and genres.

That carried on for a few years.  Different rooms with a different sound in each.  I tended to play in the harder room, though I've always loved all genres and I've had so many of the Kinky DJ's influence me over the years.  I was obviously biased, but I never enjoyed the music at any other night I went, the way I did at Kinky. 

This mix is my homage to the Kinky sound.  It's soulful, vocal, funky, housey, deep, jacking and  in parts pretty twisted too.  There's a few Jay Friction classics too from 2002, 2006 and 2009, from The Lawnchair Generals, Dennis Ferrer and Tim Green.  

Kinky has always been about great house music.  You can't pigeon hole the night.  If you take a look at the list of DJ's that have played over the last 25 (or 27 years) you'll see exactly what I mean.

Most of all, the night was ALL about the resident DJ's.  Some of the best DJ's and nicest people I've met have played alongside., They all built Kinky into what it became.  

And I have all the confidence that Paul is going to do something very special again. You can't keep a good man down as they say. And in my opinion he is one of the most experienced in the game.. I'm proud to have been a part of it in the early years.

If you like this mix then please buy a ticket before it's too late.
