Why Tommy Four Seven wants some Kosmetic Surgery!
Who is Tommy Four Seven? This is a good question and you would be forgiven if you didn't know, but he is certainly a DJ and producer who is one to watch and you are certainly going to be hearing a lot more of him in the future.
18 year old Tommy Four Seven shot onto the London club scene less than 12 months ago, but already in that time he's created a bit of a storm.
After only playing out a few times he impressed promoters so much with his fresh 'n filthy sound that he's bagged himself, not one, not two but three residencies. One was with monthly house party Kurruption and another as a coveted weekly slot at one of London's biggest after parties, Twist.
But not content with his two residencies and regular guest gigs Tommy has not decided to co-promote a new 'electro party called "Kosmetic Surgery". The party which launches on Saturday 07th May aims to shake up the London electro scene by presenting an 'all night' party of the most cutting-edge electro house. Tommy describes it in a little more detail.
Tell us about Kosmetic Surgery? What's special about it?
It's the first electro night which will be open all night long. Most close at about 2pm. Kosmetic Surgery will be open till 6am. It will also provide the most cutting edge electro house on the scene.
The idea came about from my weekly residency at Twist. I have a following of people who really enjoy what I do but were frustrated that they wasn't suitable place to hear my kind of music pre-Twist as well. Kosmetic Surgery aims to fill this gap.
How did the name come about?
Kosmetic Surgery as a name came about as we wanted to say a few different things. First of all, Kosmetic Surgery is looking to make a change on the already very established London Electro scene and offer a place where you can dress up or dress down. We also want to create an environment which allows artists to express themselves so they can push boundaries.
Who will come to Kosmetic Surgery?
We have a polysexual door policy so hopefully it will be 600 open-minded party people. We want people to leave their inhibitions and preconceptions at the door and come with the intention of having lots of fun. We hoping it will appeal to lots of different people who just want to come together for a fabulous celebration of fun, dressing-up and above all fantastic music.
Tell us about Jacks (the Venue?)
Jacks is has a very unusual and interesting past as it used to be a fetish venue. In terms of design, the main room is a big arch while the second room is a more intimate affair. It holds 600 people, is lovely and clean and has a bar that serves drinks at pub prices. When we were looking for a venue we walked in and immediately knew it was the right venue for us. It's also hidden down a side-street so you know everyone who turns up has the intention of being there, which is exactly our intention.
Tell us about the Djs you're booking?
Adam Sky has an amazing past and is one the biggest names in electro so we were incredibly happy to find out he was available to for May 07th.
We also have King Roc who's mixed everything from Chicken Lips to Marc Almond. He's also an amazing DJ. The Synthetic Pleasures are just awesome. You have to see them to believe them. They have amazing lyrics and basslines. Sub:tracktor is also a very good warm-up DJ. It's important to get the right warm-up as it sets the tone for the whole night.
The 2nd room is overseen by Ya Mam & Ya Dad who are known in the scene over for their outlandish behaviour. Finally there's and then of Jonty Skufff who as well as editing the best music fanzine is also the rising star of electro-clash and has played all the best electro parties across Europe.
Describe the music?
It's all things electro, but the best way for you to find out would be to come along and see for yourself.
