SAMMY JO (SCISSOR SISTERS TOUR DJ)

See You Next Friday Ramadan Closing party feat...*** SAMMY JO (SCISSOR SISTERS TOUR DJ) ***After an incredible summer with amazing sets from The Stanton Warriors, Marky Ramone, Evil Nine, The Fratellis, Mani and of course our 2nd birthday with The Subways, we bow out for the summer and Ramadan with one of the biggest names in the world at the moment as Sammy Jo, the Scissor Sisters Official Tour DJ, plays our closing night. An integral part of the New York band's success, having met Jake Shears over 6 years ago, Sammy Jo has soundtracked the band's rise - culminating in the stand out performance at this year's Glastonbury. And having toured with the glam-rock four-piece for the last five years, Sammy has a huge number of unreleased and unique Scissor Sisters remixes and edits, as well as the best in electro, dirty house and dark disco. He's played every club and festival worth their money, and currently holds down a summer residency in Barcelona, and a winter one in New York. Guaranteed to bring the Scissor Sisters party spirit with him, Sammy Jo will be playing the headline slot for our closing party which is going to be a sell-out. Not only that, but you'll also get a 4 hour back-to-back DJ battle between residents Da:Funct and Just Some Kid, who'll be making sure the party is started right from 9pm onwards. /// MUSIC ///Electro /// Indie-Electro /// House /// Dirty Disco /// Hacienda Classics /// Proto-house ///**********************************************************************See You Next Friday feat.

He spends half his year travelling the globe - from the O2 Arena stadium in London to club Razzmatazz in Barcelona, from Paris Fashion Week to warehouse parties in Antwerp, playing for 60,000 people at V Festival -while the other half he maintains residencies in New York City.http://www.myspace.com/sammyjoscissorsisterstourdj
