DJing for Diddy's London Party, Amika, Ldn, Last Friday night... DJ NIKKI Beatnik & crew

On Friday night I got 'The Call' (lol) to spin for P Diddy. He was holding a last minute knee's up in London on his way back from Paris Fashion Week to the US.

The party was at Amika in West London and god knows how but with only a few hours notice the club was absolutely rammed out by the time I got there at 11.30.
I span Prince, Tinie Tempah, EPMD, Diplo, LMFAO, Beatnik, Run DMC, Loose Ends, Egypt, Terri Walker & more in the warm up to the big entrance...

Diddy got to the Club around 1am and entered to one of his new tracks 'Angels' from his forthcoming Album 'Last Train To Paris' - weird- Beatnik did a track called the same name last year with East London artist 'AK'...

Diddy looking toward the DJ booth- 'Where's my diamond encrusted Mic DJ NIKKI?'


When Diddy came in with a bunch of people the main room in Ammika out of nowhere suddenly filled out with about double the people! All with phones in hand standing on platforms and staring in the direction of Diddy! SO WEIRD & funny at the same time. What happened to British 'cool'??!
I remember throwing a party in London with Pharrel, Missy & Eminem & a load of Hollywood actors hanging out and no-one batted an eyelid let alone bust out a camera! It's crazy, we have all become celebrity obsessed nut nuts..and yes I realise the irony as I too am posting about the party with pictures of the night, Puffy & the DJ booth- so I guess Blogs are to blame too, but maybe we could reach a happy medium of being able to rave and have fun before and after a celebrity enters the building! That would be nice :)

Back to the Diddy Party...Diddy partied and did a medley of some of his brand new and older hit tracks. He got on the mic to 'Benjamins' & then his verse on 'Waka Flocka 'Flames' feat Diddy, & Lil Wayne' and Red Cafe- 'Im Ill'.



Diddy then premiered his track 'Hello Goodbye' whic has previously only been heard once in Miami a few weeks ago. I have to give it to Diddy- he always gets on the mic at his parties and hypes things- most artists dont do that, so it gives his parties a vibe.
I remember spinning for one of his parties in London in 2003 when Puffy AND Beenieman were MCing live on my set all night :)

This is my personal favourite track of his recent tunes..'Love Come Down'

Anyway- I had a really fun night- my friends came & bussed some moves on the dancefloor had a few brandies & went home very very late :) Shout to Laura C, Talia, Rob & Amika
