Songs we dig #2

Back in the late 90's we were big fans of heavier music like punk, rock, metal etc however the UK and US charts were also chock full of some cracking slices of R&B, Hip Hop and UKG, which we also listened to a lot of. Looking back recently when we have been refreshing our DJ sets we`ve found loads of forgotten classics!

The likes of Brandy & Monica, Missy Elliott, En Vogue, Eve, etc etc get heavy rotation in our sets and it`s great to see the genres start to blow up and become popular again - the massively hot Blawan recently used Brandy's I Wana Be Down in their club smash Getting Me Down!

Anyway, here`s one of our current faves which we`ll most definitely be playing in upcoming sets. Its the Reservoir Dogs Vocal mix of 702's You Don`t Know. It`s been given an amazing UKG flavour that really tickles us where it should!

Bollox #1

Here at Trash-O-Rama we moonlight at Bollox Club in Manchester. That perfect mixture of good people, good music and good times that we don't think you get anywhere else. We have been in residency since January for what was supposed to be 6 months but we were asked to stay on until the haven that is Legends closes down by Commander in Chief Rod after a great response to our sets.


This is one of our favourite gigs as we always get an exciting reaction from the crowds whether that be the students, the queers, the nostalgic bears, the disco mums, the trendy clubbers or the freaks. That's what is so special about Bollox, everyone loves it from every type of background and every place. It's everyone's go-to on the 3rd Friday of every month and you always get the same faces alongside the new ones. People can rely on Bollox to give them that monthly reassuring pat on the head that says 'Yr alright kiddo' or something along those lines.


Anyway without gabbing on we played Friday which was the 7th set in our residency and it was brilliant. A total sweat box, great feedback from the audience and most importantly lots and lots of dancing. We're gonna start posting the most well received songs of our sets so you can see what pleased the crowd the most and perhaps discover more music on the back of these songs that you can enjoy. Here it is in no particular order -


Chic - Everybody Dance
Michael Jackson - P.Y.T
Rufus & Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody
DJ Reezy - Hollaback Girl
Major Lazer - Pon De Floor
The b15 Project - Girls Like Us
Blue Boy - Remember Me
Psychemagik - Everywhere

We got a thing goin' on...

And just like Mrs Jones, Trash-O-Rama may be getting on in years but she can still give as good as she gets and draw attention from all young boys (& girls too.)


We are at a point in time where we have lots of cool stuff coming up and need an outlet to tell all you lot about what's going on. So join us on our debauched journey, we'll be posting great tunes, mixes, events, photos, videos, posters & other promoters & bands we dig.


Keep it sleazy,


Polly & Johnny.
