  1. We catch up with John Koopa, one of the guys behind the electro night that's taking London by storm Sick! On the Dancefloor and ask him a few questions ahead of Sick's big SeOne launch party this Saturday. Please introduce yourself ? I'm Koop and I run the night with my best mates Dominic Clark & Andy Burby. Myself and Dom are clubbing randoms I guess, we met monging out on the sofas in Key Club just over two years ago. We instantly became regulars on the Kings Cross clubbing scene and developed a real passion for the music. With Andy, we had heard good things about him through a friend. We invited him down to play for our opening party. We immediately clicked and as soon as he played for us, we knew we had to bring him on board. Andy's from West london, Doms from South London and I hop between North London & Leeds. Collectively we are known as the Sick!Djs. What are your roles and who does what? Andy's more of your music man, so he controls the technical side of things and our music policy - looking for new talent, headliners etc. Dom takes care of a lot of our operations and is responsible for creating most of the buzz on the internet. I'm responsible for visualising our brand, and design all the promotional artwork. Generally though, we all tend to do a bit of each others jobs. Tell us about your Flyers, they're Sick! Ha ha, Thats the whole idea. Its meant to shock you. Too many flyers you see, despite looking pretty, don't really tell you enough about what theyre offering. The idea was to create something different and eye catching, yet instantly tell people what we're about - in our case, disgusting house music. The actual photoshoot itself was hilarious. The sick was made up from mayonnaise, custard, pasta, minestrone soup and spicy pot noodle! Oh and i left some full sized carrots in for the comedy effect! I booked out a studio and got 3 glamour models down for the shoot. The main girl who features in our flyers, is actually an actress and former page 3 model. It was a bit of a shock when I told her we'd be filthing her up. By the end she got right into it and was smearing it all over her! Where did the idea to put on your own night come from ? We'd notice when out dancing, pretty much every Dj, at somepoint would throw in really dull, monotonous tunes, which would take the wind out of your sails', as we called it, and force you off the dancefloor. As if the set required some sort of filler tune. We were amazed why no Dj had the balls to keep the energy up, and give the crowd what they actually wanted to hear, which was banger after banger. Myself and Dom, whilst in a hedonistic state, would talk about putting a night on where every tune would be an absolute beast, and you'd never give anyone a chance to leave the dancefloor. Then one day I was in a club in Muswell hill and the owner asked if we fancied putting on a party in his club on a Sunday. The rest is history. How did the name Sick! On the Dancefloor come about? When we started off, we were looking for a name that really summed up the dirty electro sound. We played with the idea of 'filth' which was then developed into Filthy Beautiful. By then though, there seemed to be a serious oversaturation of the word Dirty or Filthy, which had been popularised to describe this style of music. You hear a lot of Djs or Promotions using these words in their names. Then one weekend, I had been out on a standard 24 hour sesh and bundled on to Soshos, Sunday evening. I was dancing with some girl about to go in for the kill and suddenly started rushing like I was gonna be sick. I waited for her to turn her head and was promptly sick on the dancefloor, by her feet. She later discovered my mess and offered me her toothbrush, which she said she always kept on her when she goes clubbing! Classy girl! Sick! On the Dancefloor has developed its own musical style hasnt it? Quite simply, the most disgusting, ferrocious, upfront electro house music anywhere. In terms of production, think Will Bailey or Blende from Plasmapool. There's no filler tunes in our bag, all the boring empty sounding tunes are thrown out, We don't want to show an appreciation of every single sub genre of Electro house music. We cut out all the bullshit and just give relentless, hands-in-the-air music all night. What has been the most memorable Sick! moment? We have had some absolute belters in the last 18 months. But i think the most memorable moment has to be at Canvas. We were playing the back room, supporting a massive promotion over from Ibiza, which had a seriously big name Dj playing. We completely emptied out the mainroom, to the point where they had to close off the room. There was a bit of a Superstar Dj tantrum and we had to turn off our music for 2 hours to let him play in our room. Most of the crowd, were so pissed off that they sat on the dancefloor with their backs turned in protest until we were allowed back on! Tell us a bit about what to expect @ SeOne on 18th August? Were gonna leave the club stretch marks! This isn't just any other Sick! party. This is the launch party of our own venue and we've gone all out for this one, to make it our best party to date. At SeOne, weve got the most banging arch, and with Filthy Rich, Will Bailey, and Ed Kane, we have the best line-up anywhere in London that night plus a crowd of the friendliest, most up for it clubbers anywhere around. Picture 500 people all with hands in the air, stomping to absolute filthburger tunes all night. If you've been to any of our events and enjoyed them, make sure you come to this, as this will be like nothing you've seen from us before. Expect the most banging night out you've had for a long time. How did you feel about landing Will Bailey as resident? Were made up. Will is us to a T. His production is first class but he's also a superb DJ. When I first heard a bit patchy in a bar in leeds I ran up to the Dj booth and asked the DJ to give me the CD! I knew then we had to get him on board. We managed to track him down and hopefully now Will is a big part of our future. And finally what are your top 5 tunes that sums up Sick ! Moby: Dream about me (Sebastian Ingrosso remix) Blende (Plasmapool): I wanna Rock Will Bailey: Freak / A bit patchy Alex Connors: Trust Switch: This is Sick!
