UK Tabloid Tries To Tarnish Graham Gold

"An old school ravers paradise for those who still own a glow stick or white gloves," said the Mirror
"Lots of shirtless geezers sweating on the dancefloor, entranced by the laser lightshow, puling faces and still shouting, 'Avin it'," they sneered.
Ironically, the critical mauling came just as Gold prepares to relocate his night to highly praised new venue Studio 33 (his last night at the Palace is January 30, opening at Vauxhall's Studio 33 February 33).
"It had to happen, we've come to the end of Peach at Camden Palace but our success has always been because we move venue," said Graham, on the venue switch.
"The new venue is absolutely awesome and perfect for clubbing in 2004: intimate, beautifully furnished and friendly."
The much slated DJ is unlikely to be too concerned about the Mirror piece, certainly judging by his reaction to a sustained campaign against him last year, in now defunct dance magazine Ministry.
"That whole Ministry thing though was down to just one dickhead reporter, it wasn't anything to do with the editor though I laughed my head off when the magazine closed," he told Skrufff.
"There's that expression that any press is good press whatever it says, but the problem was that some of their writers were asshole, fucking journalists who knew jackshit and had been in the business for five minutes."
Graham also shortly releases a hotly tipped new euphoric trance tune The Ending, co-produced with his son B'Jammin under the name Golden Son (coming out on his own label Relative Records.
Studio 33, 101 Tinworth Street, Vauxhall, SE11, from Friday Febraury 13
