McQueen Shoreditch

Bringing a little vintage Hollywood glamour to London; sophisticated, tasteful and refined, this is a venue for connoisseurs featuring two rooms of music, bars and early dining.



Bobby and Steve

It could be their 'Zoo Experience' radio show, the longest running show on London's Kiss FM, or the legendary parties that were 'Garage City' and Soul Heaven? Perhaps it's their ultimate dance weekender Summervibes, or their sell-out parties at the Miami Winter Music Conference? Maybe it's the famous Klub Zoo, or their Friday night residency, Groove On @ Heaven or it might just be their exciting agenda of plans they have for 2005 the list is endless. Exactly what makes Bobby & Steve so successful is hard to define, but one thing is for sure, they've come a very long way from their weekly slot at Simpson's Wine Bar in East London's Forest Gate.



Brought up on and inspired by the greats of soul music, such as Teddy Pendergrass, Loose Ends, The Chi-Lites, Leroy Burgess, McFadden & Whitehead, Barry White, Thelma Houston, and the Jones girls. Born and bred East End twins Bobby & Steve's musical heritage rests firmly on the shoulders of soul funk and disco. In 1984, at just twenty years of age the twins landed their first regular DJ gig at a local wine bar, 'Simpson's', and soon afterwards were holding regular Saturday night warehouse parties, searching out illegal venues which were big enough to hold the hoards of followers as the word spread. Bobby & Steve soon became both instrumental and respected figures in the eighties warehouse party scene, through playing their favourite soul and funk music at their own parties alongside fellow guest DJ's Norman Jay, Linden C and Trevor 'Madhatter' Nelson.



News of the success of the boys' parties soon spread, and it wasn't long before Bobby & Steve were approached by Gordon Mac, initiator and pioneer of London's biggest (then) pirate radio station Kiss FM, who offered them a weekly slot. The already established 'Zoo Experience' was born. Ten years on and the 'Zoo Experience' was Kiss 100 FM's longest running specialist show. Hosted by Bobby & Steve, the 'Zoo Experience' broadcast each and every Friday night between the beloved soulful influences.



The twins surely have a fabulous legacy, and perhaps one of their greatest contributions to the UK scene took place when Soul Heaven was launched with Oli White on 17th February 2001. Bobby & Steve were joined by Masters at Work's Kenny 'Dope' Gonzalez playing to over 2500 party people and brought back the vibe to the Ministry with a further 1000 queuing outside. The follow-ups were just as successful with guest spots from the likes of DJ Spen, Terry Hunter and none other than Louie Vega. The Ministry of Sound must have been impressed too – as from January 2002 Soul Heaven became a monthly fixture and word on the street is that Louie Vega requested it became his only UK residency too! Bobby & Steve left Soul Heaven in January 2003 to dedicate their time and energy to launching and promoting their very own brand new label, Zoo Groove Stereo Records.



1988 saw the launch of their own Zoo Experience Records through which they released two tracks with Leroy Burgess. Their own production 'Love's Gotta Hold of Me' featuring Destry was released via Cooltempo Records in 1992 reaching the dizzy heights of NO.66 in the national charts, whilst in the same year they released their =



There is no doubt that the brothers have created a timeless legacy, and a certainty that they will go from strength to strength in preaching the gospel of soulful house for years to come.



McQueen

With its high ceilings, chesterfields and warm inviting fireplace, The Lounge Bar is possibly the most McQueen influenced room. Not only is this room reminiscent of a New York City loft style apartment, this room is also a tribute to the late Alexander McQueen, with a lavish mannequin styled sculpture, art deco design, with plenty of vintage touches and an ever-evolving art collection
