Acid house founder Danny Rampling has confirmed speculation that he's
giving up DJing telling Skrufff this week 'Yes it's true, I'm playing
my last gig on New Year's Eve 2005 and I plan to open a London
restaurant."
The Shroom legend also issued a press release outlining his new
culinary career, which he said had been directly inspired by his
globetrotting DJ lifestyle.
"Over the years of playing around the world, I have been fortunate in
developing a taste for fine wines and modern eclectic cuisine. Many
of my friends are chefs and wine importers and the passion and
enthusiasm I have for this has made me take the decision to bow out
at the top and open a restaurant in central London next year," said
Danny.
"It's very exciting in getting closer to the realisation of another
dream of being a restaurateur as now is the right time to turn and
face the change, and I do so with a combination of fear and
excitement as this project takes shape," he admitted.
His new London restaurant will be providing 'modern European cuisine
with Southern Mediterranean influences' in a 'fun rather than a
stuffy silent environment', Danny continued, offering 'stylish food
of the highest standard'.
"It will be a large chilled space with over 80 covers (seats) and I
am fortunate that my business partner has 17 years' experience in
Michelin Star restaurants," he added.
Good luck to the man, acid house will forever remember his efforts in that genre
