Having earned his stripes getting smashed in clubland from a rather tender age, The Last Real DJ Alive represents a rare breed of turntablist who experienced the tail end of the vinyl era.

He understands dance music; drum & bass, house, techno, and everything else in between — from the latest Timbaland banger to the shit you need to avoid — and is therefore in a prime position to report on what’s bubbling in clubland. 

The Last Real DJ Alive’s mailing list registry is longer than all the penises in porn combined.

So expect, in the months to come, blog updates such as these:

Music reviews of the tracks you need in your life — the ones that make you want to grab the nearest breathing thing and scream in its face until it understands your obsession.

Interviews with the music producers you make shrines to in your basement — from the baddest and best to the next big things.

Tutorials on how to get those beats thumping and synths grinding like a motherfucker in the studio, from the perspective of someone with a real appreciation for the sounds you want to create.

Music technology reviews: Native Instruments, TC Electronics, Steinberg… No developer is safe from the persistent emails of The Last Real DJ Alive.

Club-related fashion (t-shirts, trainers and thongs).

Videos detailing the rather depraved, debauchery-filled life of The Last Real DJ Alive (which, might contain, amongst other things, footage harassing DJs for interviews and “tell all” tales about their post-party excursions).

Original audio samples of sounds you can use in your music.

These are just a taste of what this evolving blog will cook up in the future, that starts today.

Other characters you may notice in the blog include...

Vlad “The Mic” Impaler

The Last Real DJ Alive’s cameraman and quite possibly the only individual who can claim to look like a duck on water when dancing in a club.

His super powers include being able to sweet talk even the angriest of club bouncers, making celebrities blush and losing his phone/wallet with ease [see right image, right behind The Last Real DJ Alive].

Cindy Chao (DJ Goblin)

Chao is covergirl for Maxim Asia, The Last Real DJ Alive’s girlfriend, turntablist and general eye candy.

Da Zeda (The Hulk 2)

Boasting catch phrases like “What?” and “I can’t do ANYTHING!”, Da Zeda represents the essential component of any social group — someone who is willing to do anything at any time.

He is a top house and techno DJ, too.

Samson

The Last DJ Alive’s secret agent (and big time promoter/DJ) living in Shibuya (Tokyo), Japan.

Samson will give us the heads up on anything cutting-edge in the Land of the Rising Sun.
