Introducing... Elijah Collins!! (and our charity party Club Mo - No Mo, No Entry)

Having first met this guy around 2004 and being blown away by his infectious DJ style and tune selection, it was with a little surprise when I first heard of his new side project...

Jnr J was a guaranteed floor filler across the London night life and afterparty scene, playing a mixture of upfront house, tech and electro than would guarantee to send a rocket up the arse of even the most tired and jaded clubbers! His success even spawned one of the great parties of all mother f***ing parties - Jnr's Jamm. Packing out the club in Brixton by the same name with the new and relatively unknown DJ at the time, Sebastien Leger, was definitely a highlight!

So after a number of trips to London's infamous party Lo*Kee, in 2010, Elijah Collins manifested itself in Jnr J and finally came to the surface funkin and blazing its way to the forefront. And apparently, he's here to stay "with a pimpin attitude and sick productions to to match!"

"Having re-invented himself, Jnr now has the total freedom to do as he sees fit focussing on deep house, nu disco, nu funk and anything else with the pimp factor!"

With Elijah Collins having featured at such parties as Creche and Get Diverted, and a number of superb productions alongside his mates Nist and Tee-J, that have been getting support from non other than the mighty Aeroplane, I think it is safe to say that Jnr J's side project has well and truely landed!!

"I love todays music but not as much as I will always love the older stuff so it's time to bring it back without fucking with it too much. Let's modernize this mother....!"

So, when we came up with the idea of doing a charity event in aid of MOVEMBER, we thought, what better person to invite along to play a funk fuelled set than the man himself?!?!




Party Blurb:

Wanting to club our friends together and raise some money for charity in the process, we thought what better way to celebrate the month of Movember than by throwing our own little get together!?! Welcome to CLUB MO!!

Money raised on the night will be donated to the Prostate Cancer Charity.

Guys, get growing those MOs... And ladies, have no fear, fake MOs will be available on the door so you don't feel left out (unless you really want to grow your own).
