Neil and Chris (with programmer Pete Gleadall) made their DJ debut last night at ‘Return to New York’ at the Great Eastern Hotel in London.
Playing a set of contemporary and vintage electro music, they also gave the first spins of three new records they have recently made: ‘Walking on thin ice’ (PSB Electro mix) by Yoko Ono, ‘Love to love you, baby’ (Kiki Kokova) and ‘Hooked on radiation’ (PSB Orange Alert mix) by Atomizer.
Release dates for ‘Walking on thin ice’ will be announced soon. ‘Love to love you, baby’ is Neil and Chris’s latest collaboration with the artist Sam Taylor-Wood. It will be given a limited edition release on 12-inch vinyl soon. ‘Hooked on radiation’ is PSB’s new production/remix of the UK electro-clash band Atomizer who are behind the London club night Nag Nag Nag.
Neil and Chris began their set with the song ‘We’re the Pet Shop Boys’ by the American electronic singer/songwriter, My Robot Friend. (More details about him on myrobotfriend.com)
Pet Shop Boys were followed last night by New Order’s Bernard Sumner and Pete Hook. No further DJ dates are planned by Neil and Chris but a good time was had by all. (Chris’s new long, blond hair surprising many.)
