Sophisticated Mischief
Sophisticated Mischief was the brain child of local geniuses and self-confessed rascals – Nick Titchener & Peter Von Sleaze. Their night appears like magic, under the thinly veiled guise of burlesque inspired DJ entertainment, showcasing a deliberately alternative brand of slightly obscure, yet still no less reverting, compositions. It playfully flirts between Loungecore, 60s Soul, Sleazy Funk, Twisted Modern Jazz, Vegas Grind, Crazy Swing, Ghetto Funk – in fact anything to get the hips a swaying and the toes a tapping.
Their popular distinctive sound has led to residencies at Below Lucky Voice, March of The Mermaids, Torture Garden, The Sidewinder, plus weekly broadcasts on Radio Reverb. They have also worked with Rumpus prior to co-running the “Timewarp Room” for their last event at The Coronet in Elephant & Castle. You can catch them again at this year’s Brighton Fringe in May, where they’ll be lighting up the Speigeltent Stage with four nights of their unforgettable Speigel-tacular shows there.
The guys also have their own residencies elsewhere which are decidedly different from their alternative DJing partnership. Nick plays chilled out Soul & Disco flavours at My Hotel whilst Peter, the self-proclaimed cat whisperer and all round Fez wearing stud muffin, is still gigging banging rock sets in between running his local boozer. Wherever they’re at and whatever there playing, these twisted cape crusaders will always leave an indelible imprint on your heart and a orgasmic thrill to your ears!
