Brighton's best...

Felix Da Housecat at Boutique...
review It's 2am and that exuberant indie-apocalypse rallying yowl from Blur's 'Song 2' is looping over and over and over. Each 'Woo-HOO!' is sending a wall of hipsters, arms aloft, plunging towards the Concorde's regency ceilings. Felix Da Housecat is leading the charge, a bespectacled prince of the decks carrying the crowd on a wave of dirty, euphoric electro, receiving a thousand boozy praises from his sweaty courtiers.They're Brighton hipsters, which means they're eclectic, cool, friendly and just a little bit twatted. We hear some Tiga, Soulwax and the likes, and of course it would be rude not to drop in a few of his own tunes. Like 'Watching Cars Go By', which causes several hundred people to dance like they're stamping out a fire while swatting feverishly at a swarm of killer bees. Felix Da Housecat grins down from the stage like a benevolent cheshire cat. Despite the laconic aura he's sending folks into a frenzy, thrashing against the barrier like we're at a zombie disco in an electro remake of 28 Days Later. There really will be no sleep till Bevendean. And lest you forget that Boutique is a queer-friendly shindig, also spotted were several lovely REALBrighton homosexualists all gyrating giddily to the delicious stereophonic noise (can you spot them in the photos, children?). DJ Touche who followed Felix was just about as sublime, causing us to ponder at this embarrassment of riches, witnessing the finest DJs of the globe in little old Brighton... And as if that wasn't enough, next Boutique headliner is Erol Alkan. Check out his 'Bugged Out' compilation if you need any introduction at all to his eclectic, feisty, ass-shaking tastes. Woo-HOO…
