e99

The Glastonbury festival is one of the world’s great music events. Its legend has been built by all those people involved with its creation, along with the millions who have participated in the event over the years. In particular, more than any other event of its kind Glastonbury has gained a reputation for the often random inception and development of artistic and musical concepts. One such event, which was for years a regular fixture at Glastonbury, was the legendary Joe Bananas Sound system. A stall in the market area of the festival site Joe Bananas has done its business looking after people with the essentials in festival survival. However, once the sun went down and the stages had ended, people would come in there thousands to dance till dawn in front of the stall. With the arrival of ‘The Wall’, big business and corporate sponsorship the organizers have been forced to clamp down on un-authorized sound systems, Joe Bananas was unplugged and left silent.



Ian Leonard or Lenny to all who know him, is the man behind JB; with a lifetime of involvement in alternative outside-events, going right back to the free party years and the early days of Glastonbury. Since 2002 Lenny has been seeking to remain true to his roots by looking at ways of remaining involved with dance music and those that love it. In 2005 he launched Chameleon Bars, backstage and VIP specialists, working at events such as The Glade and Beautiful Days. From the start it was decided to make the music in the bar integral to the whole project, so to this end Chris Gaines was brought on board to organize the musical concept and content and develop the musical arm of the business. Chris has had a lifetime of involvement in the music industry, a reasonably successful producer/remixer and international Dj with his label Sumsonic records, he has also been involved in numerous other areas, from nightclub owning to artist management, international bookings and tours and numerous promotional activities. Chameleon bars are quickly gaining a reputation as the hottest marquee on site, with a selection of the highest quality artists giving it the thumbs up. Hybrid, DiY, Way Out West are just a sample of the names that have graced the Chameleon Decks, whilst festival legends Eat Static played a 2 hour live set in the bar at the recent Sunrise festival.

A Different World is the next step in the development of the music project, seen as an opportunity to bring our ideas and visions to a whole new market. All the years of experience will be channeled into making a totally original clubbing event offering a unique environment, unusual entertainment and of course, a quality upfront music policy. To be held at the newly refurbished Hidden nightclub in Vauxhall on 30th September 2006, A Different World presents its first in a series of parties: ‘Outside In’. Going with an end of festival season theme this first event will see the venue transformed with themed décor throughout it’s three main areas. Each room will have it’s own music policy based on the musical day in the Chameleon Bar, Room 1 will represent the sounds of the ‘night’ with a selection of electro house, techno, progressive, breakbeat and a live performance, whilst Room 2, representing the 'evenings' will play funky house and classics. In Room 3 the ‘daytime’ will be covered with a mixture of ambient music, chillout, broken beats and jazzy techno alongside alternative entertainments and cabaret acts. Acts will be drawn from amongst our friends and colleagues in the music industry, some well known and some not so well known. On top of this, for each event we will be adding an international flavor by flying someone in to entertain us from abroad.



In the run up to the event we will be running some competitions on our website, giving people the opportunity to win various prizes, free tickets and VIP passes.
