BBC ONLINE INTERVIEW Jeremy on what’s happening in his club Area in Croydon "The Space Ball kicks off on Friday 21st April. The club’s gonna transform itself completely with giant astronauts and sputniks. We actually stole the concept from a club in New York in the early to mid eighties called Area. There’s a Mirror Ball after the Space Ball." "On the Friday we got Tall Paul banging it out , Full Circle, SOS with Phil Perry and Kenny Hawkes. On Saturday Darren Stokes and yours truly. It’s great playing in your own club I can experiment more and not have be a total crowd pleasers. But I do play to an audience," he adds. "I wan to entertain them, that’s my job. " On Sunday night Area are donating profits to Cancer Research and DJs include The Sharp Boys and Brandon Bloc…. "Yeah there comes trouble!" Aha! What about Brandon Bloc at the Brits? "At first I didn’t like it," he admits. "I though he started on Ronnie Wood and he looks a bit frail but in retrospect it looks like Brandon was the fairly innocent party." "I love Brandon he can throw a drink over me any time he likes. And he has!" he says laughing. "Actually he’s more of a spiller than a thrower!" So any predictions for Ibeza this year? "All the one’s I’m at! Weeeh. I’ll be at Clockwork Orange on Saturday nights at Es Paradis, and Gatecrasher at Pacha every fortnight. So I’ll be there a lot this year," he says with uncontained excitement.. Why does Jeremy keep going about Diesel’s ears - what’s wrong with them? "There’s nothing wrong with them it’s what’s so right. Wait til you see them." And what about his other projects? "Yeah I’ve done an album with Amos called 'Bleachin' it’s our sort of Tommy of the 90’s- a story of night-club excess. Bleachin’ is the first single. We've put it out as a white to sow the seeds for the album," he explains. But what does Bleachin' mean? "Bleachin’ is black slang for 'havin' it'. It’s when you stay up for a while and your skin starts to go white." Finally, Jeremy on his Mum.. . "I took my mum to a night in Sydney," he remembers. "I turned around at 5am in the morning and she was dancing to Leftfield. She’s 72 years old! She’s not a disco citizen or anything but it was so cool."
