WELCOME
TO THE BEST
STUDENT UNION
IN SCOTLAND
The Union is the headquarters of
Dundee University Students Association.
Commonly referred to as DUSA,
(pronounced doosa) it is the most
successful student organisation in the
country. But dont just take our word
for it, for the last seven years the Times
Higher Education survey has voted
DUSA the best students union in
Scotland and Which? University voted
us as having the best student nightlife
in the whole of the UK. And not only
that, in a recent Times Higher Education
Student Experience Survey, we were
voted the best value students union in
the UK! Arent you lucky?
DUSA is responsible for the social,
educational, recreational and welfare
interests of students studying at the
University of Dundee. To put it simply,
were here to add all the extra bits to your
university life the ones that you wont
fnd in books. As a student studying at
Dundee University you automatically
become a member of DUSA theres
no subscription, no fees, no membership
forms. All we ask is that whenever you
visit us you bring your matriculation card,
once it has been issued by the University.
The Union is the private club for
members of DUSA. Incredibly, simply
being a student at the University of
Dundee, automatically makes you a
member of one of the best private
members clubs in Scotland. But what
does this actually mean? Well, unlike
city centre bars and nightclubs, were
a registered charity meaning that all
the money you spend at The Union is
reinvested in our facilities and also in
keeping prices as low as possible. In
addition, unless you are a student or a
guest of a student, you cant get in to The
Union. This means that you get exclusive
use of the busiest entertainment venue
in Dundee with the cheapest drinks and
admission prices in the city.

four distinct areas Mono caters for both
dance oor fanatics and those who prefer

as their favourite nightclub in Dundee.
Over the past few years Mono has
presented a wide range of headlining

the perfect place to maintain a modicum
of health or alternatively sweat-out the
poisons after a night on the piss.

Yum Yum, in order to satisfy your alcohol-
induced cravings for unidentiable cuts of
meat.
The Union has its very own beer garden
situated right on our front door step.
Anytime the sun actually decides to show

The larger of The Unions two bars, The
Liar is the best student bar in Dundee.
Its ideal for both chilling out with a cofee
or partying with our cheap drinks ofers.
In fact, with shots and spirits from 99p,
cocktails only 1.99 and pints at 2.25,
The Liar is not only the cheapest bar in
Dundee, but one of the best value student
union bars in the UK. But its not just
about alcohol. We sell takeaway cofees
for only 1 and serve pizzas and pub
snacks until 10pm.
With DJs booked on Tuesday, Friday and
Saturdays nights, The Liar is the busiest
student bar in Dundee. On St Patricks Day
we had live bands playing for over fourteen
hours and in the process sold 900 pints of
Guinness! With every major sporting event
shown live on 17 plasma screens, there is
no other place in Dundee worth watching

One of everyones favourite areas in The

An hour spent in 4 Play is the perfect way
to relax whether killing time between
lectures (or just skiving) or taking time-
out from one of The Unions nightclubs.
Priced at 50p a game 4 Play is the
cheapest place in Dundee to play pool
and with the occasional pool competition,
you may even end up winning some
beer money! If not, the 250 jackpot
fruit machines are the perfect way to
supplement/deplete your student loans.
If you dont look after your belongings
someone else probably will - but without
asking your permission and when youre
not looking. Although The Union is by
far the safest venue in Dundee, like
everywhere else, we do suffer from the
occasional sneak thief. So make sure its
us who take your designer jacket and at
least youll go home wearing it.
Whats more, if you buy a VIP Pass youll
get free use of the cloakroom for a whole
year, saving you 1 every time you leave
your coat with us.

hazardous journey to the city centres
late night eateries.
DUSAs cafe bar, Air, is stylish, laid back and perfect for
both post lecture cofees and cocktails. Air is a popular
lunchtime destination and during the day we sell freshly
made sandwiches, toasties, panini, wraps, cookies and
cakes. However if you are more health conscious, we also
serve freshly prepared salads and delicious smoothies.
At night, karaoke and DJs liven up the atmosphere whilst
you enjoy drinks prepared by Airs expert cocktail team.

its not being used for karaoke it sometimes shows major

If youre coming to university straight from living with your parents,
the chances are your culinary skills stretch no further than beans
on toast or shoving black plastic containers into the microwave.
However just because youre a student doesnt mean that you have
to eat badly.
Where possible DUSA appoints local suppliers for all its food, who
we personally inspect on a regular basis. This means that if the food
you buy on Campus has not been freshly prepared by ourselves,
then it has usually been made locally that morning and delivered
to The Union before youre even out of bed. Another advantage of
vetting our suppliers is that we have condence in the provenance
of our food. When half the country discovered that they had been
unknowingly scofng horse burgers in 2013 we were happily
unaffected.
We have a very experienced retail and catering teams who ensure
that the food on campus remains affordable to students. Our
Catering Manager has been executive chef at some of Scotlands
best ve star hotels and recently won The University Caterers
Organisation (TUCO) version of Master Chef. In addition for cooking
for you, his team regularly cater for the Principals VIP functions
serving politicians, captains of industry and more importantly, rock
stars.
Our Retail Manager is an expert in the wholesale trade, continually
negotiating with suppliers to secure exclusive student discounts
on your behalf. For example the seasonal fruit that you see in the
Premier shop, will not only be cheaper than Tesco, it will have
usually have been delivered to us that very day from the wholesale
fruit & vegetable markets.
There are plenty of different food outlets on Campus meaning that
you dont have to survive solely on a diet of kebabs and pot noodles.
From 8am 3am theres usually somewhere open where you can
buy some wholesome, freshly prepared food at a price that students
can afford. Whats more, you wont need to do any washing up.

Although your rst student loan payment may
seem like a huge amount of money, in reality it
will last half as long as you would like to think.
Most students these days are resigned to the fact
that work (what you came to University to avoid) is
sadly an unavoidable part of student life. However
do not worry as even here The Union can help you!
With over 200 students on The Unions payroll
its not only the single biggest student employer
in the city, its also the most student friendly. We
understand the pressures of your day-to-day
existence and also offer a range of perks, which
mean that theyre probably the best jobs youre
likely to nd.
There are usually positions available throughout
the year in the Bars, Customer Safety and Venue
Support teams, as well as in our Retail, Marketing
and Catering operations. In fact we currently have
vacancies for student staff - just download an
application form www.dusa.co.uk/get-involved-
work-for-us. Dont worry - you can start after
Freshers Week if you so desire.
If you are lucky enough to acquire a position at The
Union you can look forward to taking advantage
of free admission to all Union club nights. On top
of that (as if that werent enough) youll be able
to enjoy the undisputed highlights of the staff
parties, which have achieved a level of notoriety
which rivals that of Freshers Week itself.

WORKING
THE UNION JOBS
Being a student at Dundee means that the
majority of your nights will be spent in The Union,
whether it be at a club night or just a few hours at
the end of a busy day. You can come to The Union
with peace of mind knowing that the door policy is
the strictest in Dundee as only students and their
guests are allowed in. DUSA is proud to boast that
The Union is the safest venue in Dundee thanks
to the student Customer Safety team who are by
far the best in the city. Being students themselves
means they can relate to you and understand
the difference between rowdiness and trouble.
This highly trained team have the tools to deal
with any situation properly, making not only your
experience the best it can be but also making The
Union a safer venue for everyone.
Obviously going to The Union isnt some sort
of survival of the ttest scene out of Game of
Thrones, but the simple fact of life is that some
other nightclubs within Dundee have gained bad
reputations for some particularly nasty incidents
which have put students health at risk. Coming
to your students union means that you are able
to put any problems to the back of your mind. You
wont have to queue up for hours to be rejected for
wearing trainers. If youre feeling hungry at the
end of the night theres even a hot dog stall which
means you dont have to walk all around Dundee
to nd somewhere yourenot risking getting food
poisoning from. And when it comes to going home
and you cant afford a taxi then The Union offers
a regular night bus service which will take you to
your door for free!
The Union has always been serious when it
comes to students safety. DUSA have their own
disciplinary process which is run by students to
ensure troublemakers are kept out of the building
and not to mention the Zero Tolerance policy
which means you can enjoy your night without
fear of harassment or abuse. Being a student will
sometimes be stressful and DUSA want to make
sure you can let your hair down and let off some
steam, and the best way to do that is to make sure
youre safe! All The Union staff (most of whom are
students) are there to make sure you have a great,
safe night which is something you wont often nd
in many other places in Dundee!
1. Dont take your bank card out partying. Withdraw sufcient money
beforehand and that way you wont blow all your loan at once. Not
only that, you wont have the risk of losing your card!
2. Never leave your drink unattended. If you do think someone has
spiked your drink immediately advise one of our Customer Safety
staff and they will ensure you get either safely home or to hospital.
3. Buy a VIP Pass, it allows you to queue jump and gets you
loads of discounts.
4. Ensure your mobile phone is always charged and in credit.
5. Keep the money you need to get home separate, so that if youre
drunk you dont spend it on impulse purchases such as alcohol,
fags or kebabs.
6. Always leave a night club or pub with friends.
7. When you get out of taxis, always check the seat where youve
been sitting as something precious could be left behind and not
always by you! This is especially important if youve been ddling
with your smartphone during the journey.
8. Always keep your matriculation card in your wallet/purse
youll need to present it every time you enter The Union.This is a
marvellous way to keep out undesirables.
9. The Union is open 50 weeks a year and only closes for two weeks
over the Christmas Vacation.The Union is normally open from
8:30am, Monday Friday and from midday at the weekend.
10. There are club night promotions that will let you and your friends
in to The Union for free on your birthday, so theres no excuse for not
partying at least once a year.
11. Club night admission is 1 cheaper before midnight on Friday
and Saturday, so get there early!
12. Arrive at The Union before midnight not only will you miss the
queues you will increase your chances of getting a seat and pulling
someone who will still look nice the next morning.
13. You can sign-in up to four non-student guests each night into the
Union at a cost of 2 per person, however please ensure they are 18
or over and bring photographic proof of DOB.
14. Do not sign-in anyone you dont know as you are responsible for
their behaviour and you may end-up with a life ban for something
that you personally didnt do.
15. Remember we run a night bus service (within the Dundee city
boundary) to get you home safely at the end of the night. From
9pm we run a limited bus service from the outlying student halls of
residence bringing groups of four or more students to the Union.
Phone 01382 386044 and well see if we can collect you.
16. Free condoms are available from the Level 4 Reception.
17. Buy your off-sales from the Premier Store after your lecture and
save yourself a trip to the off licence whilst Coronation Street is on.
18. VIP Pass holders are allowed two friends into The Union for free
once a month, so if you dont buy a VIP Pass yourself, get to know
someone who has.
19. If you leave something in the cloakroom, it cant be collected
until after 5pm the following day. If you leave your coat with us
longer than four weeks, the next time you see it may be on a clothes
rail in a Perth Road charity shop.
20. If Customer Safety staff think that you are either drunk or
under the inuence of drugs they will not let you in. If they catch
you with drugs (including legal highs) they will detain you and
call the police!

THE UNION TIPS THE UNION SAFETY

of free clubbing, with a choice of up to four
club nights each week. (However please note
the VIP Pass is not valid for Freshers Week,

Attracting over 1700 students, Saturdays at The Union
is the busiest weekend club night in Dundee and is
normally busier than the citys two largest nightclubs
put together. But this may not come as a big surprise

weekend drinks prices in Dundee
with the majority of drinks priced
just 99p or 1.50. With two club
nights, karaoke bar, bar DJs, two
fast food outlets, outdoor chill-out
area and Scotlands largest games
room all under the one roof, theres
literally something for everyone; however unfortunately
we only have time to tell you about the two great club
nights. In Mono, dance, electro and pop are all thrown
into the mix. Whilst in Floor 5, Flashback revives the
best party classics from the last three decades.
To celebrate The Unions 10th birthday the Saturdays
team have two stupendously big parties planned for September. Made
In Chelsea stars Andy Jordan and Stevie Johnson are coming to visit The

FRESHERS
WEEK 2014
The Freshers Pass is the only way to enjoy the once
in a lifetime experience that is Freshers Week. From
just 48.75* you can pick and choose what acts you see
fromwhat, were sure youll agree, is a pretty stunning
line up. For as little as 6.10 a day you get to go to at
least two venues per night and see the likes of Sigma,
Radio 1s Scott Mills and Danny Howard, Hodor from
Game of Thrones, Neon Jungle and a whole lot more.
The Freshers Pass gives unbeatable value for money,
offering a saving of over 50% on our usual ticket prices.
If you were to buy a ticket for every event it would cost a
staggering 111, and yet were giving passes away from
just 48.75*. As any accountancy student worth his salt
can tell you (and they probably will, with graphs!) thats
a pretty amazing deal. So how do we do it?
Well, DUSA spends more per student on its Freshers
Week than any other student organisation in Scotland,
offering the nest opening week in the country. This
is probably one of the reasons why we are continually
voted the best students union in the country.
Freshers Week is unlike any other time
in your life - youll meet more people in
a shorter space of time than ever before;
have more stuff to adjust to since you
rst went to primary school; and, in all
probability, youll party more than you
ever have in your life. And dont worry,
if youre only 17, youre still invited
remember The Union is YOUR private
members club. However please note
that if you are under 18 you will not be
allowed to purchase or consume any
alcohol on the premises, but who cares
at least you wont have a hangover the
next morning!
Freshers Week is essentially eight
days (or at least eight afternoons and
late nights you wont see much of the
mornings) of non-stop, 100% partying.
With The Union open until 3am most
mornings, your week will become a blur
as you nonchalantly saunter from bar
to bar, club to club and nally off home
to bed.
Freshers Week is about getting out there
and meeting new people. Dont worry if
youre feeling nervous and apprehensive
everyone else is in the same boat and
when push comes to shove this is exactly
why God created cheap cocktails. Moving
on in life has never been so easy.
WHAT IS FRESHERS WEEK? THE FRESHERS PASS
HOW DO I GET ONE?
6th - 14th September Access all areas
Freshers Passes are available to
buy now from www.dusa.co.uk/
freshers or by completing the
enclosed order form.
Buying a Freshers Pass is the only
way to guarantee access to all the
Freshers Week entertainment. In
the unlikely event an act does not
sell out, tickets go on sale an hour
after doors open at the standard
ticket price. The demand for these
few tickets (assuming there are any
at all!) always exceeds supply and
the majority of non Freshers Pass
holders are disappointed.
Please note we do not post
Freshers Passes to your home
address. Instead your Freshers
Pass will be ready to collect at
The Union Reception from midday
Saturday 6th September its as
simple as that!
We also want to take this
opportunity to offer you a years
worth of free clubbing at Dundees
busiest nightclub, for just 48.75*.
If you buy a VIP Pass, you will be
able to get into both The Unions
nightclubs for free every Friday and
Saturday **. (See page 21 for more
details)
If you buy your Freshers Pass
and VIP Pass together, not only
will we give you a 11.50 discount
and youll get both passes for just
97.50, but well also give you a
free event programme lanyard and
an exclusive Union t-shirt worth a
further 15!
For full details on how to purchase
both passes today, visit www.dusa.
co.uk/freshers. Alternatively, you
can order both passes by lling out
the enclosed order form.
*Freshers and VIP Passes
are individually priced at
54.95, however if they are
purchased together the
combined price is 97.50
the equivalent to 48.75 each.
**exclusions apply please
see website for details.
Walking, talking, social information
So who are all those odd looking
people hanging around The Union day
and night, desperately trying to make
sure everyones having as good a time
as possible? Thatll be our wonderful
Freshers Team!
Our Freshers Team is basically a crack
unit of hand-picked 2nd and 3rd year
students who had such a good time
during their own Freshers Week they
keep asking to do it all again. Whenever
were open theyll be here to make
sure youve got all the information you
need and more importantly that youre
making the most of what should be
your wildest week at university. They
know all the ins and outs of Freshers
Week think of a couple of pints with
them as the equivalent of your rst
tutorial, your chance to learn from the
people whove seen, and most probably
done it all before.
You may have heard a lot about starting
university and how its so tricky to meet
friends like those at home well its all
bollocks! The people youll meet here will
be friends for life. Meeting new people
is as easy as falling off a log. Thats
the genius of the Freshers Team, they
know how to do it - how to appear chatty,
interesting and fun and theyll show you
how it can be done.
The Freshers Team - theyre there for
you..use them, abuse them and after
a couple of nights youll be condent
enough to lose them.

During Freshers Week The Union focuses
on evening and nighttime entertainment
(although our bars are open from 8.30am
for breakfast), however the University
organises many interesting events during
the day. Our advice is to go to them all,
theyre free (you dont need a Freshers
Pass) and youve nothing to lose and
everything to gain. There are two events
in particular that we strongly recommend
getting out of bed for.
THE SPORTS FAIR
CAMPUS GREEN MARQUEE
Dundee University offers some of the best university
sports facilities in the country and for many students
the high standard of the Institute of Sport and Exercise
(ISE) is a key factor in their decision to make Dundee
University their rst choice. The Sports Fair is an
opportunity to nd out more about both the Sports
Unions clubs and the services offered by the ISE. All
the Sports Unions clubs will have stalls at the Fair
providing information on club activities, inter-university
competitions and social events. Staff from the ISE
will be present with information regarding the many
different exercise classes they offer, the Playsport
and Aquatic Programs, tness assessments and
consultations.

From insurance companies to operatic societies,
theres one thing theyll all want, and thats you! Isnt it
nice to feel wanted? The Freshers Fair is your chance
to meet the pick of the bunch and, perhaps more
importantly, to take from them as much free stuff
as you possibly can. Pens, condoms, wall planners,
woks, even money theyre literally throwing stuff at
you. Last year Dominos gave away 5,000 slices of free
pizza! Even the banks are nice to you make the most
of that while it lasts! As well as meeting all the nice
people from the outside world the Freshers Fair is
also your chance to see whats on offer from DUSAs
own afliated societies. From the Lesbian, Gay and
Bi-Sexual Society to the Bhangra Society theres
something for everyone.

Flashback revives the best party classics from the last three
decades. A time when people thought: Kylie and Jason would get
married, Oasis would Live Forever and that you were Goin Crazy for
suggesting a duet between Dizzee Rascal and Robbie Williams. Even
if you dont remember being there, youll be amazed just how much
music you do know.
The 1980s are a much maligned decade, and rightly so. Mobile
phones had to be towed around on the back of a atbed truck;
the aspirations of the nation were epitomized by Del Boy Trotter;
and the threat of nuclear war led to some of the worst movies in
the history of cinema. But its the music which the 1980s are best
remembered, for God knows its not the clothes. The 80s were the
decade of pop, electronica, stadium rock, New Romantics, acid
house and so much more.
Such was the new-found power of pop in the 1990s that the tabloids
documented the battles between: Oasis and Blur; East 17 and Take
That and at the very end, Take That and Take That. The 90s may have
been the decade of manufactured pop heaven, but it was also the
decade of Cool Britannia - a time when: Brit-pop re-crowned Britain
as the music capital of the world; illegal party organizers made club
culture corporate and pirate radio DJs took over Radio 1.
Love it or hate it, the music of the Noughties was inescapable,
coming from adverts, video games and that newfangled gadget, the
iPod. It was a decade in which the music business suffered near
catastrophic collapse whilst music itself invaded every aspect of our
lives. But it sometimes felt like there was no centre of pop gravity,
as though everything had migrated to an ever-expanding margin,
where every taste was catered for. Arguably, the biggest phenomena
has not been individual artists or thrilling new genres, but illegal
downloading, the invention of the iPod and iTunes and the free music
zones of YouTube, MySpace and Spotify.
So heres Flashback, a rose-tinted night of pop nostalgia. A ruthless
root through three decades of perfect pop but without all the crap
you had to listen to the rst time round!

FRESHERS WEEK 2014
How did you rst get into the
dance music industry?
It was an accident actually, I
was at this party where a bunch
of guys hang out in a house
and play a bunch of computer
games. One of my friends had a
folder on his computer named
Downloads and I downloaded
the whole folder without even
looking at what was in it.
A couple of days later, I was
looking through the folder and
I found this music programme
and I thought, What the hell,
lets give it a go!. I started
playing around and I couldnt
really stop and after a while,
I thought maybe it was
something I should keep doing
as after a while I thought I
had the potential to become
really good at it so it was just a
coincidence really.
Youve developed a massive
following worldwide, has that
affected how you produce
music?
Yes, my career started in
Europe and Germany and my
career really started when I got
my number one in the UK. Being
number one in Germany doesnt
really generate anything in that
way but because there are
so many more eyes on the
UK Top 40, its a completely
different level of success.
Thanks to being number one
in the UK I got to New Zealand,
Australia, South Africa etc
so suddenly, Im producing for
a worldwide crowd instead of a
local crowd and that changes
how you think about the music
and sound and theres a
feeling that you want to satisfy
everyone, but its really hard.
In 2007/8 All I Ever Wanted and
Now Youre Gone took the UK
by storm, how has your sound
developed since then?
Its changed a lot, Ive been
producing what we refer to as
hands up music, kind of what
Basshunter stands for, and Ive
been doing that for 12 years.
After a while, even though Im
representing that kind of music,
I get tired of it. More recently
I have been a little bit lost in
sounds and pretty much didnt
really know which direction I
wanted to go. A lot of people
have been following me for
a long time and they want to
hear the music and the old-
school sound. The thing is that
even though I have updated my
sound to go more mainstream,
I cant move that far away from
my sound.
In the past youve attributed
your success to downloaders.
As an artist how does that make
you feel?
My whole career started with
downloaders, I gave away
my music for free and people
downloading and sharing
music, thats how I started so
if someone asked me if they
could download my album
instead of buying it, what am
I going to say? I dont know, if
you think that the music is good
enough and you think I deserve
it, why not buy a single and go
on iTunes and buy the two best
songs off the album you like and
then download the rest? I mean,
its up to the individual, Im not
judging anyone.
Whats been your greatest
achievement to date?
My greatest achievement? Well
probably still being alive I guess
ha ha. Well no, the last seven to
eight years have been nonstop,
travelling around, partying,
singing, performing so its not
my biggest achievement I guess
its good genes ha ha. But for me
my biggest achievement is being
at number one because its only
what a few people have done.
If youve been unfortunate enough to
have no access to the internet
or the radio for the past decade then
we will forgive you for not knowing
who Basshunter is. Born Jonas Erik
Altberg, Basshunter is a Swedish
euro-dance legend who smashed the
charts in late 2007 with Now Youre
Gone and even appeared on Celebrity
Big Brother in 2010.
Fridge managed to catch up with him
recently to discuss his music, the
industry, gaming and life...

Everybody recognises the loon
that stands in the middle of the
dance oor, shaking their hips
and contorting their body to
a beat that has no correlation
whatsoever with the music you
can hear. Most people would
spend the rest of their evening
trying to avoid these buffoons
in a bid to avoid the impending
embarrassment of being caught
within close quarters of them.
However it took a pair of Dutch
DJs to realise that great fun
could be had as soon as you
provide everyone with their own
set of wireless headphones and
encourage freestyle dancing
to music only you and half the
other dancers can hear.
To puzzled onlookers a
Headphone Disco is an odd
sight; a club full of people
wearing wireless headphones,
half of whom are grooving to
Daft Punk, while the other half
are doing the Harlem Shake.
Odd it may look, but curiosity
normally gets the better of
most onlookers and its not long
before they make the transition
from fascinated bystanders to
enthusiastic participants.
Interactivity is a key feature of
the Headphone Disco, bored
with one song? Then simply
switch channels on your
wireless headphones and you
can listen to something else.
Two DJs play simultaneously,
offering a hilarious fusion of
uncoordinated dancing and even
less cohesive singing. Losing
yourself in the music is all part
of the fun and occasionally you
might want to stop, take your
headphones off and listen to
what everyone else is singing. It
really is a unique experience.

FRESHERS WEEK 2014
As well as an impressive
portfolio of residencies
including Ministry of Sound in
Egypt, Blackpool superclub
Syndicate and the worlds best
nightclub, Pacha in Ibiza, Danny
is also a very inuential music
producer. Working with the likes
of Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold and
David Guetta, Dannys sexy
house sound has become
a danceoor trademark,
electrifying clubbers with
hands-in-the-air breakdowns,
hard kicks and dirty basslines.
Prior to jetting off back to the
superclubs in the Balearics,
Fridge managed to get a quick
chat with this superstar DJ.
Its been two years since
you last DJed at The Union
in Dundee, what have you
been up to?
Has it really been two years?
Where to begin Well, Dance
Anthems has been going from
strength to strength were
pulling in over two million
listeners each week now which
is just incredible, add to that a
weekly show on SiriusXM Radio
in the US too Ive been playing
all over the world at some
amazing venues, Ive released
two albums and been spending
more time in the studio
producing. Now its summer so
Im back at Pacha!
As the voice of Radio 1s
Dance Anthems, how does
that work alongside your
weekly Pacha residency?
Its a very big rush to the
airport! I nish the show at 7pm,
and the ight is at 9pm, so I
literally have an hour to get to
the airport. As soon as I hit play
on the last record, Im out the
door, onto the tube, get the tube
to the train station, get the train
to the airport, then get on the
plane! Simple as that!
So theres no pre-recording?
No pre-recording
always live!
Which clubs or festivals
havent you played at yet,
but would like to?
Ultra in Miami. Tomorrowland
in Belgium! I would really love
to play those festivals! In the
UK, it was always my dream to
play Creamelds and Global
Gathering. Global was the rst
festival I ever went to and I
played that for the rst time
last year and Im playing again
this year. Its amazing to do that
and hopefully long may that
continue, but with dance music
going off in America the way it
is and worldwide those two
major festivals I would really
love to play.
You did a degree in Exercise
& Sports Science, what did
that involve?
Yeah, I did a sports science
degree at university. My initial
long-term goal was to work
with athletes in the 2012
Olympics. But then that got
side-tracked with my DJing. It
involved all aspects of sport and
the progression of an athlete:
psychology, biomechanics and
the physiological side of it.
You now have your own brand
Nothing Else Matters. Tell us
about that.
Nothing Else Matters is a brand
that focuses on UK artists. I
wanted to do this because I get
sent so many promos, from
young producers and I thought,
To say that Radio 1 unearthed a hidden gem when
they discovered DJ Danny Howard through a talent
competition in 2011 is a bit of an understatement.
Going from bedroom DJ to superstar of the superclubs
pretty much overnight, Danny tore through the crowds
at Radio 1s Ibiza weekend in 2011 and subsequently
became the new host of Radio 1s Dance Anthems.
I cant represent them all on
the radio show, but Id like to be
able to do something. So thats
where the brand idea came
from; the concept was to focus
on UK artists. Weve done a few
events, at the end of this year
were really going to push it and
do a UK tour of the brands.
Youre DJing at BCM in Magaluf
this summer. Have you got any
surprises up your sleeve for the
crowd?
Well I wont be DJing naked
because that didnt go down
so well last year but I can
guarantee plenty of good music
and a few surprises, no spoilers
though. Youll have to have
been there to nd out what
happened!
As a graduate yourself, do
you have any tips for Dundees
Freshers?
Eat your greens and make sure
youre in bed by 10(am).

Over the years The Union has hosted a plethora of TV celebrities.
From cast members of scripted reality shows such as Made in
Chelsea and Geordie Shore to actors from BAFTA winners such
as The Inbetweeners and Skins, if a TV show has been raved
about in Heat magazine, weve had one or two of its stars come
to Dundee. We usually have a few celebs making a personal
appearance during Freshers Week and this year is no different
with top TOWIE totty Dan Osborne heading north to join the party!
For those of you unfamiliar with Dan let us give you the low-
down. Dan made his dbut appearance on TOWIE last year during
series 8. He quickly became an audience favourite, with his envy
inducing buff physique and smooth charm resulting in a brief ing
with Lucy Meck last summer. This year Dan put his bulging biceps
and toned abs to good effect releasing his own calendar shot on
location in Majorca. Looking ABS-olutely, incredibly, ridiculously
buff in nothing but a pair of red swimming trunks, Dans calendar
broke all sales expectations becoming a massive success. Well,
no surprises there...
Dan is currently working on some exciting new projects including
a new tness website, his own clothing brand and becoming
Attitude magazines new tness expert. However with rumours
that Dan has now been befriended by Lindsay Lohan, despite
being linked to EastEnders Jacqueline Jossa, work may be the
last thing on his mind!

FRESHERS WEEK 2014
When we start booking acts for Freshers Week there is one
place we always look; the nations biggest and best radio
station: BBC Radio 1. We have a history of working with their
biggest and best DJs. Over the years, weve literally had them
all from Zane Lowe to Greg James, Fearne Cotton to Daniel
P. Carter. However Freshers Week at The Union wouldnt be
Freshers Week without one specic Radio 1 DJ
How did you become a Radio 1 DJ?
I did student radio when I was 15, because my
mate was a student and let me help him out. Then
I got my rst proper job on radio when I was 16 at
Power FM in Southampton and it literally just went
from there. I worked for no money for ages and I
was rubbish to begin with, but its all about being
given a chance.
What do you like so much about your job?
Its what Ive always wanted to do for as long as I
can remember. Ive wanted to be on Radio 1 since I
was four: its really been that long. As I mentioned
I got my rst radio job when I was 16 and I just
worked and worked at it really. I cant imagine
doing anything else; its my dream job Im doing
now.
What would you say is your proudest moment at
Radio 1?
I always really enjoy like when we do the
Edinburgh Festival shows. We started doing that
in 2009 and we did this thing called Scott Mills:
The Musical, which is a complete mickey take. It
was the most fun ever. Actual proper actors and
singers singing songs about you is really weird.
Also I still get really proud about the Radio 1 Big
Weekend. A lot of radio stations do festivals or
events now, but I still dont think anyone can get
the line-ups like Radio 1 can. The fact that we
can bring Lady GaGa to Carlisle or even Muse to
Dundee is pretty bonkers.
So you have written an autobiography; what made
you want to write the book and why now?
It wasnt even that organised. The publishers
asked me if I wanted to do it and initially I said
no, because I just thought it wasnt going to
be interesting. Then I thought actually theres
probably some stuff thats fairly interesting to
listeners of my show... theres a bit of celeb stuff
and Ive been quite honest really. Im not sure if
I would do it again. I found it really stressful at
times, like one of the hardest things Ive done. I
think its been quite therapeutic to write, but now
Ive done it I think its done and its out there and
Im quite pleased with it.
You say in your autobiography that you still cant
believe how well your career has gone. Why do
you still feel like that after more than a decade at
Radio 1?
I still dont ever feel entirely at ease or
comfortable with it and thats a bad thing
sometimes. Im obviously aware of what Ive done
and Im aware of how its gone but I think theres
always the less condent side of me that goes, Oh
yeah, but youre not very good really. I think a lot
of people in any kind of job like this do have that
kind of nagging self-doubt. I think it works in your
favour sometimes, because I still want to make
that show the best show it can be and I think it
stops you from becoming complacent.
From the age of 16 Scott Mills has owned the airwaves of the UKs FM radio. Starting with the graveyard
shift at his local radio station Power FM, Scotts rst steps on the path to fame came when he was asked
to take over the stations drive-time show. Scotts subsequent journey to stardom took him to Bristol,
Manchester and then Londons Heart FM. In 1998 he was approached by Radio 1 to host their Early
Breakfast Show and in 2004 Scott took over the stations weekday afternoon show where you can still
nd him on Radio 1 today.
Fridge managed to catch up with Scott to ask him a few questions about working in radio, his career and
recent autobiography.

Rock vs Rave is a new clubbing phenomena
sweeping student unions across England and
DUSA are the rst to bring it to Scotland. Taking
place in a purpose built boxing ring stage, two
of Dundees best Rock and Rave DJs will go toe
to toe in an effort to be crowned the champion.
During each round the referee looks to the dance
oor to decide who has been best. After eight
rounds either Rock or Rave will be crowned the
winner, with the loser left to lick his wounds and
nurse his battered playlist.
Not sure about the music policy? Dont worry the
DJs wont be playing anything obscure and will
keep their choices as chart-friendly as possible.
Anyway, with free glowsticks, rave whistles,
inatable guitars, button badges, temporary
tattoos and neon facepaint, its almost impossible
not to have a good time. However please note
these give-aways are limited so turn up early in
order not to be disappointed.
A ght to the death between two of the biggest
music genres of a generation. Guitars versus
glowsticks, who wins? You decide!

Brainchild of Australian DJ Tom Loud and powered by a top secret
carbon neutral energy source, Hot Dub Time Machine is a booty-
shaking mix that will have you singing, yelling WOO and chatting up
the person next to you.
Hot Dub Time Machine takes you on a funk-packed adventure
through 60 years of music. From 60s rock and 70s disco, to the
cheese of the 80s and the mayhem of the 90s, all the way right
back to 2014. Each song is played in a strict chronological order and
accompanied by videos projected on massive screens. Everything
is mashed together by VJ/DJ Tom Loud using some technological
wizardry and some good ol fashioned turntables. Time machine
cabin attendant Lulu Loud appears virtually on screen to guide you
through the space-time continuum, demonstrate dance moves and
keep the party right on track.
Tom was originally a television sound designer, working on well
know Australian TV series such as Underbelly, Sea Patrol and
McLeods Daughters. He started DJing on Sydneys comedy
scene, developing Hot Dub Time Machine in 2011 which has quickly
exploded into a full-time job, career and passion. Hot Dub Time
Machine has toured extensively and been enjoyed by over 70,000
people in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In the process
it has sold over 30,000 tickets at the Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide and
Sydney festivals, consistently selling out each night.
Hot Dub Time Machine is every song you love, have forgotten
about and will love again, mixed and presented in a fresh and
completely original way. Its dancing, hugging, laughing and
singing-along. Were super excited for (as Hot-Dubbers put it)
the BEST. PARTY. EVER!

Glynn Fussell and Amy
Redmonds mutual love
of camp, kitsch, festival-
inspired, home-friendly party
debauchery complete with
drag, dcor and decadence
saw themformone of Londons
most alternative and reputable
party promoters: Sink The
Pink. Six years later its still
going strong, and whats more,
theyre bringing their particular
brand of hedonism to The Union.
Fridge got behind the party.
Whats Sink The Pinks back-
story, how did it all start?
Glynn: Weve been doing the
night for six years. In the past
wed been going out and every
night we attended was either too
dark, or too expensive, or there
were brawls, and there were
these awful nights that were
stereotyped as gay or straight.
So we literally just sat there
and wrote a list of things we did
and didnt like about parties.
House parties were a really big
inspiration, where there are
no rules, no one on the door,
everyone is welcome and theres
stuff happening that shouldnt
happen because its behind a
wall. We wanted to harness that
feeling.
Amy: Wed go out in Soho and
Vauxhall and be like really, are
these the options? We were in
a bar in Soho recently and we
thought to ourselves this is why
we started Sink The Pink, guys.
People posing slouched against
the wall on their phone. It was
totally clich. We wanted to
create our own experience that
had that feeling when youre on
the third day of a festival and its
all very celebratory. We wanted
that fancy dress, crazy feeling
in a club.

What kind of venues were you


using to start with?
Glynn: Weve made a conscious
decision not to use a gay club.
The spaces have always been
off the beaten track so it
feels hidden. We also wanted
somewhere that, if you are a gay
guy you can bring your sister or
your friend from work.
Amy: Weve always done weird
spaces, like a railway arch in
Bethnal Green, an art gallery
now were in a working mens
club in Bethnal Green. The
downstairs is like the old boys
club and they are always still
drinking when were in there, so
theres a nice community feel
to it. Theres depth to it, rather
than just putting on a party.

Do you want people to attend


Sink The Pink for the spectacle
just as much as the music?
Glynn: We always think ours is
more like an event than a club
night. Weve got a number of
shows and were always thinking
what we can do at the next one.
By the end of the night everyone
is in some shit outt.
Amy: In London there are
enough themed novelty
nights, but were not about
hen party-esque lets all be
happy cowboys and Indians
style nonsense. But there will
be colour and the odd bollock
hanging out.
Glynn: Usually mine!

Propaganda is the biggest
indie club night in the world
and a true cornerstone of the
alternative music scene. It
currently has 22 venues with
25,000 people attending weekly
parties in locations ranging
from London to Brazil!
Propaganda has a reputation
for booking amazing guest DJs,
from the likes of Radio 1s Nick
Grimshaw to members of Snow
Patrol and The Libertines. Hell,
theyve even had Lily Allen!
Even so, you may nd yourself
wondering ... what on earth does
If theres one thing we love here at Fridge its an
opportunity to don some fancy dress. Whether
its suiting-up for the annual Graduation Ball,
digging out our Jason Voorhees costume for
the Legendary Halloween Fancy Dress Party or
piecing together some brightly coloured affair
for a round or two of pub golf, we just love doing
it. So much so, we simply could not let you go
through all of Freshers Week without getting the
opportunity to rock out of your comfort zone and
into some mad outt. So where better for you to
start than the annual Legendary Beach Party? The
Union is famous for throwing beach parties and
this is the big one! In fact the Legendary Beach
Party has been the Freshers Week event for the
last six consecutive years.
an indie night have to do with
beach parties? The answer: A
LOT. Propaganda is so popular
that it even hosts a weekly club
night in the spiritual home of the
beach party: Ibiza.
The Ibiza Rocks Bar, right on
San Antonio Bays beach is the
original home of the Ibiza Rocks
live gigs. It was responsible
for reintroducing guitar based
music to the island and The
Arctic Monkeys, The Fratellis,
Kasabian, Babyshambles, The
EditorsandKaiser Chiefshave
all performed outdoors in
the intimate environment of
the open air Ibiza Rocks Bar.
Once again, Propaganda have
teamed up with Ibiza Rocks
to return to the white isle this
summer for another season
of beach partying in the sun,
taking over the Ibiza Rocks Bar
every Saturday. So if you fancy
enjoying The Legendary Beach
Party but with a healthy dollop
of rock n roll Balearic magic -
then this ones for you!
So what makes it so legendary you may ask? Well
its not down to certain members of the Fridge
team showing up in their nest Hawaiian shirts!
Maybe its down to The Union building its very own
beach on the stage in Mono? Maybe its because
absolutely everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) gets
dressed up? Maybe its down to the palm trees,
loungers or our resident DJ mixing up the best
beach party anthems? Or maybe its because
the Beach Party has sold-out every year since it
started?
Your guess is as good as ours, so when you
head along be sure to send us the answer on a
postcard! (I hear they sell them at the beach)

The critical reception for your
second single Braveheart was
overwhelmingly good. When you
were recording Braveheart, did
you predict that it would be that
well received?
When it was coming up to
release week and the charts we
were hoping for at least a Top
10 as we felt like it deserved it
as we loved it and we worked
so hard on it, so when it hit
number four and stayed in the
Top 10 for four weeks we were
over the moon! We thought and
hoped it would be a huge hit but
you never know what the public
think!
We know that Neon Jungle is
just starting but how do you see
yourselves in ten years?
We would like it if we had loads
of number ones, had toured the

everyone knew us!

To say that Neon Jungle spells
trouble is news to Fridge, but
that is what has been happening
across the world since last
August. Describing their sound
as chaotic and full of mayhem,
this four piece girl band broke
into the UK Top 20 with their
debut single Trouble whilst
simultaneously scaling the lofty
heights of the US dance charts.
This success was followed by
the girls taking the number
four spot in the UK chart with
Fridges own favourite single
Braveheart.
After the success of their
omnipresent third single
Welcome to the Jungle, this
London-based quartet has
recently released their fourth
single Louder. So with four Top
20 singles released in the 12
months, Fridge caught up with
Jess, Asami, Sheeren and Amira
to see what the future holds for
Neon Jungle.
So the name Neon Jungle,
where does it come from
exactly?
Neon Jungle comes from our
song, Welcome to the Jungle.
We had so many other potential
names but none of them had
quite the right ring to it! It took
forever; we literally had to be
introduced as the girls until we
nally picked it.
Considering that you are from
all over the UK how did you get
together?
We were all talent scouted
and we all did auditions held
in London. Amira was found
shopping in Westeld, Jess
was found in Brick Lane and
Shereen and Asami were both
found on YouTube. It was all
very fairy tale
Youve all been singing since you
were very young. Who would
you say have been your musical
idols growing up?
We each have different
inuences. Everything from
Jennifer Lopez, Beyonc, the
Red Hot Chilli Peppers and
Michael Jackson.

To some Kristian Nairn will
need no introduction, star of the
HBO smash Game of Thrones
where he plays the role of
Hodor, a gentle giant stable
worker turned (spoilers maybe?)
protector of the crippled
Bran Stark. What many wont
realise is that Kristian is also
a multi-talented musician with
an impressive DJing career
performing alongside acts such
as the Scissor Sisters, Calvin
Harris, Mylo and Alphabeat.
Describing his deep house
DJ sets as dark, chunky and
always with attitude, Kristian
began DJing in the long-
standing Kremlin nightclub in
Belfast, where he has held a

residency for over a decade,
after stepping up to the decks to
ll in for a DJ calling in sick.
Being something of a jack of all
trades; Kristian also produces
his own music, sings and
plays guitar, having studied
the playing styles of Steve Vai,
Malmsteen and Zakk Wylde.
What Kristian is best known for
however is his acting career.
Even though his most famous
role consists of only saying
the word Hodor, the talented
Kristian estimates that he can
deliver this word in well over
70 different ways. Whist some
consider it both the easiest and
hardest job in acting, Kristian
believes that body language
rather than intonation is the key!
It hasnt always been plain
sailing in his acting career
though. A little known fact is
that Kristian auditioned for the
part of Michael Armstrong in the
hit British comedy Hot Fuzz, a
role which subsequently went to
actor Rory McCann, who Game
of Thrones fans will know as
The Hound. Maybe it is a small
world after all?

So Sigma... theres two of you,
how did you meet and come
together to make music?
We met at university in
Leeds. Id been doing events
management and Wooz was
studying music production. We
both went to various D&B nights,
I used to work in a record shop
and Wooz was an avid scratch
DJ. We spent a lot of time
listening to D&B and doing very
little of our dissertations!
We really liked your rework of
Kanyes track Nobody to Love.
Did you have a feeling that it
would get that big?
We really had no idea when
we were putting it together.
We loved the hook and thought
it could be end up being big,
we were just not really ready
for the international hit that
it has become.
Are you guys big fans of Kanye?
Do you know him personally,
maybe got a wedding invite?
Ha, would love to but were not
really on rst name terms to be
honest. We really like Kanyes
earlier work and the hook we
sampled in Nobody to Love was
our favourite part off the Yeezus
album which is why the whole
track is based on it.
Youve got a substantial
collection of critically acclaimed
remixes in your back catalogue.
Do you enjoy doing remixes?
Remixes have always been
something we have found
relatively easy, as long as we are
feeling the original track. Most
of the time the remix sounds
nothing like the original, The
Rusko track is a good example
of this. Essentially the remix
is an original track with one or
two elements of the original
song. Its always lots of fun, we
dont especially take a different
approach we just enjoy making
music.
Last year MTVs events team launched Club MTV, a bespoke
clubbing experience specifically designed for student unions
and brought right to your doorstep by the same people who
deliver the MTV Europe Music Awards. In addition to loads of
specially designed club dcor and tons of give-aways, just to
make sure it all goes-off on the night, MTV are also bringing with
them one of the UKs best new dance acts: Sigma.
If you listen to the radio as much as we do at Fridge then you will
have definitely heard Sigmas DnB number one single Nobody
to Love. For those of you who are perhaps less familiar with the
chart-topping UK duo let us give you the low down.
In 2006 Cameron Edwards and Joe Wooz Lenzie joined forces to
form Sigma whilst the pair were at university in Leeds and ever
since have been a force to be reckoned with. As their popularity
has grown so have their accolades. Radio 1 named Sigma both
as Zane Lowes Hottest Record in the World and Greg Jamess
Record of the Week. The pair have remixed iconic artists such
as Ellie Goulding, Eric Prydz, Skepta and Rusko. In 2009 Sigma
were awarded Best Breakthrough DJ at the Drum & Bass Arena
Awards and in 2013 scored their first UK hit single Rudeboy.
Fast forwarding to the present day, Sigmas massive track
Nobody to Love has been one of the key anthems of the summer
and many peoples 2014 soundtracks. Fridge managed to
interview the duo on the edge of world domination.

There have been many attempts throughout the years
to refresh the cinema experience, from true advances
in technology such as Technicolor and Dolby Stereo to
funny gimmicks such as smell-o-vision, temperature
and 3D. Even the mighty IMAX experience has added
immersion on an unparalleled scale - nding out
that Gandalf wears contact lenses is an eye opening
experience you simply dont get with normal cinema!
Drive-in cinema started in the US in 1933 and
experienced huge popularity until the 1970s when
it started to decline due to increasing land costs
and the adoption of daylight savings time. However
more recently American drive-in cinemas have been
experiencing a revival attributed to DIY movie buffs with
access to cheaper equipment and a passion for cinema.
Here in Britain modern outdoor cinema is something
of a novelty, usually reserved for high-end, artsy lm
festivals or niche little setups with hot tubs in London.
Well in true Union style we took that nonsense and
threw it right out the window by buying our own massive
30ft screen and projectors and inviting you to join us in
enjoying some classic cinema on the Campus Green!
Dont worry, were not asking you to bring along your
third-hand Vauxhall Corsa to the drive-in, just bring
yourself, some money for the barbecue and maybe a
picnic blanket for a chill-out to remember at the end of
the busiest week of your University life.
