‘I should have known you were trouble‘ sings our favourite up-and-coming Love Machine DJing pop star Fabio Lendrum on his debut single and one can only assume he’s singing from Cheryl’s perspective about young Ashley.

If only Cheryl had listened to Fabio’s words, then this whole sorry situation might have been avoided. Of course, that would have involved Cheryl hearing this 3 years before it was written, but then again she could have just thought about how popular Ashley was with the general public and she’d have come to the same conclusion.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing readers. As is the sight of Cheryl’s hind.

Getting to the bottom of it etc etc

We digress. Trouble is brilliant, and especially brilliant is this chillout (are we allowed to say that in 2010?) remix of it by CFCF. Enjoy.

If you came to Love Machine last Friday, you will have seen:

Fabio Lendrum DJing: phwoar eh ladies?

Anders R from Alphabeat doing a stonking set:

Lots of people dancing:

Well on Friday 5 March WE’RE ONLY BLOODY DOING IT ALL AGAIN, and this time we’ve gone and got a guest DJ slot from the bloody Hoosiers.

All this, and an advance ticket is a mere £3. Ridiculous.

Check the club page for full details, and go here to buy your ticket before it’s too late.

Friday’s Love Machine looks like it’ll be our best yet – not only do we have an Alphabeat DJ set, but hot pop property Fabio Lendrum will also be taking to the decks. As we like to do in these situations, we tore Fabio away from his busy schedule of looking cool in supermarkets to ask him some questions. And here are those questions:

Hello Fabio! How are you?

Not bad – just woke up its 4pm, had a messy night at fabric!

We’re very excited about your DJ set at Love Machine. What will be your biggest tunes of the night?

I dont want to give too much away but im a big fan of house/electro and there are so many good remixes coming through at the moment. Tune of the night will definitely be ‘One More Time’ by Daft Punk – that’s all I can tell ya

There are some incredible songs on your Myspace page. When will you be releasing one properly, and which one will it be?

Thank you! Nothing has been decided for definite yet, I really hope New Romantics is released first – its got a great and new sounding vibe which i think people will appreciate and understand.

What’s your biggest achievement to date? Obviously it’s being asked to DJ at Love Machine, but to keep it interesting please pretend it’s something else.

I got to perform one song at Bestival this year on the main stage with my good friend and co-producer James Harwood DJing. It was quite odd because they didnt actually let me use the main stage – I had to use a strip just in front of it about as wide as the corridor in my flat but super long. We were quite worried at first when there was a power cut in the first 5mins of James’ set which I was part of – but being able to be in front of that many people trying to hold a huge crowd’s concentration who have no idea who you are is a truly exhilarating and adrenaline pumping experience which I want to continue through the rest of my life.

It’s a well-known fact that Paulo Nutini’s real name is Paul Nutkins. Is Fabio Lendrum your real name or are you just trying to be a bit exotic?

Yep it is my real name – but i have been asked before if it’s a stage persona. I think i just have a two very different parents – therefore a weird combination of names came together to create what i am now called.

Please give us your projections for 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Ooooo, future predictions can be a bit dangerous I dont like to jinx anything – I’ve got a few things in mind. I’d like to become part of a songwriting team for other artists, really work hard at my DJing to create a very memorable night for the crowd at big events, and play play play play play and play loadsa gigs because I truly believe that is my forte.

Who is your favourite Saturday?

Haha, that’s quite an odd question….. but it has to be Frankie – she’s super cute. I’m sitting on my bed with my best mate Max and we just had a good browse on google images (no perving honest).

Looking forward to Friday! Hope you guys enjoy the set.

Thanks Fabio, we’re sure we will!
