Actor
Jimi Mistry (
'East Is East',
'The Guru',
'Blood Diamond') being a bit of a fanatic about dance music has been making a documentary film about clubbing where loads of your key DJs, including
Mark Moore, have been interviewed.
Mark says: "
Jimi's a real diamond and a mighty fine actor. You can see why, in all seriousness, people were petitioning for him to be the next James Bond! I'm looking forward to the completion of his film."
Meanwhile
'Theme From S'Express' will be featured in two upcoming movies. British movie
'Cass' is the true story of
Cass Pennant - a six foot five football hooligan whose identity struggle and eventual redemption as best selling black author is portrayed. Sounds like a cult classic to us! Next up is French film
'Nos 18 Ans', a comedy about being young and foolish in the 80's.

Last year,
Dunhill designer and top man about town
Kim Jones created a t-shirt for
Uniqlo inspired by
Mark and
S'Express.
You can get them here for the bargain price of £9.99:

S'Express. I was thinking about
Mark Moore quite a lot when I was doing it."
Jones' design includes lyrics, "There are lyrics from
'Mantra For A State Of Mind' and other songs that are my favourites. It's really just about having fun."
Richard Norris (from
The Grid) has written a
Paul Oakenfold biography. It is also a very informative look at the history of clubbing from the early 80's onwards and includes many quotes and eye witness reports from
Mark Moore as well as other players from the dance scene. Book of the month!

Here is the full picture by the very talented
Gozra which
Mark has used as his mySpace profile pic (complete with the lovely
Polly Fey on his lap). Also a pic of
Pete Burns &
Mark at
Gozra's photographic exhibition. There are also rumours of a
Pete Burns and
Mark Moore collaboration. More news when we have it.

Been out a while but check the wonderful mix CD
'Stunners 130' by
Akira The Don & Wade Crescent. It's a blast and includes the marvelous mash-up
'If I Was S'Express I'd Fucking Sue The Klaxons'! That
Klaxon's bassline does sound very familiar!
