The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs To Trick Or Treat To
This Saturday things will go bump in the night, carved orange faces will eerily light up door steps and ghouls, gargoyles, skeletons and black cats will take to the streets. Halloween, it’s just like any other night out in London. To celebrate the spooky occasion, The Fashion Office have dedicated this week’s issue to Fright…

The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs About Leaving
For the last week, all we’ve heard in the office is “Because I’m Leaving!” belted out at the top of SoStylistic’s voice. In a vain attempt to keep the noise down, and as the rather vocal lady in question is moving on to pastures new, it seemed only fit to dedicate this week’s The…

Will Chris Tietjen Rocket Germany’s Temperature Above Freezing?
It’s October. In Germany, it’s already minus seven degrees at night, so who better to step up to the challenge of getting the countries temperature, and pulse, royally roasting other than Cocoon regular Chris Tietjen? On Saturday November 28th, home grown tech DJ Tietjen will take to the decks at Gloria’s in Regensburg, and as…

The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs Inspired By Colours
There’s a good vibe in The Fashion Office today, the sun is shining, it’s Friday and we’re feeling inspired by Colours this week. By chance, it’d appear there’s a lot of gold going on too, and from a collective of sensationally-stylish ladies with naturally expensive taste, who’d expect anything less? Sostylistic recommends: Jill Scott –…

Bimbo Jones Puts The Party Into Lott’s Mama Do
Straying from house and into slightly foreign territory, I’m going to stick my neck out and say I like Pixie Lott’s recent chart stormer Mama Do. However with what can only be described as eclectic taste, and although not a music snob; it’s got to be UK mixmasters Bimbo Jones’s impressive revamp. I heard it…

Radio One Live Lounge: Dizzee Rascal – Money Talks
Most of those that know me will be aware of how much I love Radio One’s Live Lounge. Whilst it saddens me that the lovely Jo Whiley will now only look after the show on Saturdays, (and leave week days to Fearne Cotton), she has at least exited with the almighty bang that is Dizzee…

The Fashion Office Recommends…The Charts
Wow, we’re down on team members this week…it seems most of The Fashion Office are topping up their tans on a last minute break or just taking some well earned time out. Fear not as this week, we have a fine and fabulous four recommendations from…The Charts. After all, it’s about quality rather than quantity…

Transform – Transformation (Tobi Neumann Matthew Styles Mix)
Since returning from Ibiza, I’d somehow forgotten to look up the tune that became the soundtrack to my holiday. Going by last year’s effort, that’s quite out of character too… Fear not, last night, a friend sent me a link to a song he wanted me to listen to…and there it was. Funny how things…

ATFC – ‘I Called You’, The Conversation (ATFC’s Heated Conversation)
After a very chilled Sunday doing very nearly nothing, I decided to scoop myself up off my bed, away from the film that was taking an eternity to download, and began hunting down some new house tracks. On discovering AFTC’s ‘I Called You’ (The Conversation), I think I may have just struck gold. Released the…

The Amnesia I Will Never Forget
Arriving home at 7am yesterday, it really felt like a week in Ibiza had just melted into one as it completely flew by. However, I’m delighted to say that not only was it the best holiday of my life, it was also throughly a thirtieth to remember thanks to one incredible night; Cocoon at Amnesia.…

The Fashion Office Recommends…Chill-Out Tracks
This morning I was wide awake about 5.45am, due to a little thing called excitement and a big thing called a birthday in Ibiza. After composing myself enough to get into work, my natural reaction was to theme The Fashion Office Recommends around the Spanish-isle but no, I thought best to try and keep a lid on it and sensibly chose…

The Fashion Office Recommends…Miss Dolly Parton
This week, we’ve gone a bit country and dedicated The Fashion Office Recommends to none other than Miss Dolly Parton. Obviously, it’d have been rude not to have included the amazing ‘9-5’ and after a rather ‘special’ day in the office, here’s to a lovely long Bank Holiday weekend. Enjoy. Sostylistic recommends a track named…

The Fashion Office Recommends…Disco
After last week’s mammoth challenge of choosing a Power Ballad (and miserably failing), I’ll hopefully redeem myself with a bit of Disco… Plus, it seems we’ve been inspired by the amount of sequins adorning our fashionable friends today and created a flood of outstanding disco classics. The Fashion Office is clearly a collective of closet…

CR2 Records Crank Up The Competition With 20th Anniversary Space ’09 Release
Each year, there’s a veritable choice of Ibiza compilations to choose from. Whilst I’m a big Azuli fan, a sample CD made its way to me last year to prove there’s only really one go-to label to wind you up for the White Isle, and keep you going long after a hedonistic week. Who? Independent…

The Fashion Office Recommends…Power Ballads
Seems each Friday, I take subconcious pleasure in making this as difficult as possible for myself – this week, The Fashion Office Recommends…Power Ballads. Sorry people, things are about to get very slushy… Sostylistic opts for: Aerosmith – Don’t Want To Miss A Thing. Ellie: Bon Jovi – Always. New Favourite Thing chose: White Snake –…

Radio One Exclusive: Faithless’ New Track – Sun To Me
Before heading out and hitting the dance floor on Friday night, i tuned into Radio One by chance for what turned out to be an amazing set by Vernon Kay. Standing in for Pete Tong, amongst some old classic house tunes, Kay delivered the exclusive first play of Faithless’ new track – Sun To Me.…
