Digging the new @markmoore01 mix for @kinkyroland 'Metropol' project. 'That Night In Brazil' was inspired by a conversation between myself @AndyBell_info about the time @erasureinfo supported Bowie in Brazil and encountered mass homophobia from the crowd.
That night in Brazil
I wanna forgive you
And maybe I will
Coz Ziggy was everything
That night in Brazil
It cut me a thousand times
That night in Brazil
You sharped the knife

At @FrightFest with @dahc/dermur
Dahc turned up in casual evening wear and got mobbed by people thinking Dahc was starring in a new creature feature!
Great to see you @alanfrightfest , @johnbbeta , @AnnoDracula , Marc Morris and Jake West! … and more
Utterly fabulous intro to John Waters' meisterwerk, Pink Flamingos, at the @BFI Southbank last night, from legends @markmoore01 and Tasty Tim, as part of the fantastic month-long SCALA!!! season. Also in attendance: the divine Raven Mandella.
While this was going on I was in the studio screen at @BFI watching the Scala!!! doc. Got to say hello to and chat with the wonderful @markmoore01 ✌🏾 Go watch the Scala!!! doc if you can and marvel at how wonderfully cool that place was. Shame I was too young to go @AliCatterall
A highlight among many highlights in @scalacinema is Mark Moore talking about using his father's Kentucky Fried Chicken 'allowance' to fund his Scala viewing habits.
Had a great conversation with Rob from @bewithrecords this morning. Mainly to congratulate this Manchester label for managing to clear all the previously promo-only remixes of Malcolm McLaren from the Sony paymasters! Credit where it’s due and

For SCALA!!! we were incredibly lucky to have as producers @ChXtv (Detectorists, Worzel Gummidge) and @anti_worlds, aka Andy Starke (who has produced Peter Strickland & Ben Wheatley), who regularly led us out of the forest when we were lost & sprinkled magic dust over our debut.
Out today honoured to remix the new ‘S-Express x Daddy Squad record.
I also made the video for it.
Short clip here full version linked below.
Turn it up loud 🫠💦

Tomorrow’s exciting episode of Electronically Yours features Mark Moore, an in-demand DJ and producer for over thirty years. An early pioneer of House music in mid-80s London, he formed the band S’Express with the number one hit ‘The Theme from S-Express’.
All this week I’m joined by @markmoore01 from S Express on @VirginRad80sUK at 16:30
