Tazneem and Clint tied the knot this Saturday in Wentworth. I've never seen Ou's jump for the garter like this before. But then when the ladies had to catch the bouquet, Simone stands with her arms folded. You're not gonna catch it like that. Show some enthusiasm [hahaha].
Please be on the lookout for 3 guys resembling the artists sketches above. They are wanted on charges of "Crowd Pleasing, Party Rocking, Playing Exceptionally Good Music and Satisfying Party-Goers of All Ages". If you have any information regarding their whereabouts please contact your local events organiser ASAP.
Keep 'em peeled.

This weekend we did a 21st at the Norwegian Hall in St Thomas Road. Yoh! I'm from Greenwood Park originally, left there in 1985. I didn't know those people are gone so voes! They were getting down. Put some Newlands functions to shame. That's it Brent - show some enthusiasm when setting up the lights.
Did a 60th birthday party at the Morningside Bowling Club this weekend. A picture of Mark with the birthday girl.
This Saturday (30 June) we did a wedding at DLI. Byron Richen and Robyn Andrews tied the not. Sorry about the quality of the pics. They were taken on Brents cheap cell phone. Hehehe.
Two weeks ago we did a 21st at St Philomaena's in Sydenham. This was Garren Moyce's 21st.
Was off to a slow start but aren't all 21sts these days. Especially when it's a guys 21st. Soon as the speaches are done and the foods disappeared, so does the birthday boy and his homeys.
DJ Preggie and Kim in the Sunday Matinee at Club XTC, and DJ Wills rocking the Zoom Saturday Matinee. Both were circa 2000.
Just letting you know I got the streaming audio up and running so look out for some live mixes soon. In the mean time you can listen to my remix of "Bring back the music" by Jae from her latest album - G.I. Jae.
Some Zoom memories. These were captured from old VHS-C camcorder cassettes, so please excuse the poor quality.
I don't think I need to say who these guys are. They took over DJ'ing at Zoom when Mark and I left. Not only that, they took it to a whole new level. When Zoom folded (sadly) these guys went out and started their own entertainment outfit, taking the Zoom crowd (who at that point had nowhere to go) to new venues and giving them a bigger "jol" than they'd become acustomed to at Zoom. Don't get me wrong, in it's hey-day, Zoom was a place like no other. An atmosphere that will never be seen again (RIP Club Zoom - You will NEVER be forgotten). Dubble Trubble have their gigs at Skyybar once a month and if you haven't been, get your name on their mailing list (by invitation only) and get to their next party. Chances are you'll see us (FreekForce) there as well. All Dubble Trubble jols are on their web gallery so you can check out past events to see just what I'm talking about. Go to www.dubbletrubble.co.za - See you there!
This was at the end of 2004 at the DLI hall. Time to do the Electric Slide.
Top to bottom: Dean and Cyrelle Yon (Blue Waters Hotel); Marlon and Shannon (21 January 2006 - St José); Mr and Mrs Cedric Greaves (of Pain Mobile Disco - Jhb); Mr and Mrs Reggie DeGee (New Castle). Forgive me for not remembering names.
Before you know it we will be booking Christmas Parties and New Years Functions. I will be back on Monday with the happenings of Freek Force Mobile Disco's weekend activities and lots of other information. BTW The name Freek Force is the name Mark has been using for his mobile since way back in 1986. And think about it... in 1986 "Freek" was a good word. eg. The freaks come out at night - by Whodini; Freakshow on the dancefloor - by The Bar-Kays; just to name a few. The original logo was a fist coming through a vinyl record which in turn was shattered, with the words Freek and Force on either side.
I know Thriller is the biggest selling record of all time and the Motown 25 performance of Billie Jean put this man on the map. But this album pictured here is the real masterpiece. If you haven't heard all the tracks, do yourself a favour and try to. Everybody's heard "Don't stop til you get enough" and even we play "Rock with you" regularly. But tracks to look out for are "It's the falling in love", "I can't help it", "Girlfriend" and ofcourse "Off the wall". The younger generation will say "Hey this man copied Loyiso's song!". Sorry children, this original recording was done in 1979, back then... Loyiso who? Don't let that put you off. This is smooth RnB, definitely enjoyable in this day and age. Listen to the instruments and orchestration. Quincy Jones... enough said.
