2 words - very special :D
im really really knackered right now, it has been a very heavy 5 days!! (in fact last night despite not going to bed the night before i was Sooo tired i couldnt actually sleep!! X-D and everyones reviews have been really really cool, so im gonna keep mine brief, in fact im gonna steal chebbers rockin n shockin type thang:
ROCKING
mchebne and charlie getting tix last minute so they could come for the ride. :D
tom n eds heavy heavy funk fueled acid house dj sets - i cant put into words how much i enjoy the tracks that they play and the vibe they give off.tom, ed - i salute you!! :D
tune highlights:- open up (leftfield remix), that los ninos tune, the impulsion milo cut up, the NIGHTWRITERS EDIT (btw just to point out that pausebuttonaudio have been closing our sets with our own cut up version of this as well - good to see tom n ed share the same tastes as us ;)), S2A at midnight, bowie sound n vision, in fact tbh the whole damn set :D
although special mention gos to THE GALLOPING HORSE TECHNO TUNE - played nearish the end, it has kind of an arpegiatted bassline, filters right out for like 2 minutes then comes slamming back in, and sounds like galloping horses - if anyone knows what this track is please do tell, theyve been playing it for a couple of years now, and it rocks sooo hard. its also very silver in colour. hahaha. me and mchebne reckon its by someone like ben simms or thomas shumacer, it certainly wouldnt sound out of place on soma.
hooking up with all the forumites!! it was wicked to meet y'all (or re-meet in some cases X-D ) in fact it was well funny, we'd just wandered into the club and all of a sudden acidhcildren comes bouncing up to us while we were going to put our cloaks in the cloakroom with a big grin and a big hug. we put our coats in and grabbed a drink and went to find u guys - we walked along the side of the club, and there u all were, right down the front giving it some on podiums. fucking class :D 8) acidchildren, mc marsh, chemfan, darkstarexodus, irishfan, iggy, jeanie and ed - all marevllous people :D
meeting tom n ed!! this was uber special - i collared tom briefly while he was on his way out of the booth and got a cheeky pic, but he looked like he was on a bit of a mission (tried to get one for irish as well :)) and i didnt want to hassle the bloke, but i got a good pic - sorry if i ranted at ya tom, and thanks for being a willing photo victim :D later, dancing away in the backroom and irish and jeanie came bouncing up to me saying 'ed wants to meet ya!' so i wobbled over and there the man was - ed, thanks so much for coming and chatting to us all, i know it meant a lot to everyone who was there, u put the sprinkle on a very special night. so big thanks man :D we chatted for a bit and i got to apologise for my forum shame!! :D which was great, he just said forgotten and gave me a big grin. he's a really good bloke, good to talk to and a complete legend.
the illegal taxi ride home - apparently he didnt know where albert bridge was and was asking me for directions - i had no idea!!! but im like this way mate, nah that way hahaha what should have been 20 mins tune into 45 mins. he was class though - 'what do u think of bob geldolf?' X-D
post rave mash up at mine - 2 words - oh dear. X-D darkstarexodus waking up with no trousers on. 2 of the longest games of pool in the world. family guy on repeat. dribbling on the couch. excellent acid house 8) X-D
a very special mention has to go to tim (darkstar) - man this geezer is proper sound - spent quite a lot of time with him over the last few days and i have complete respect for him. from watching the footie to sinking vodka the man is a quality chap to have around. tim - i salute u and your cross-atlantic chemical exploits 8) and also to jeanie and ed for being absoutley fucking cool as well :D sky rocket!!
also - getting to take tim to 3 of my favourite clubs in the world (fabric, gurnmills and the end) in 5 days. top rave tackle
SHOCKING
forgetting my ticket (doh!!) and waiting for the cavalry to arrive, which meant that i missed the spoons :'( so sorry guys, would have been good to chat to ya where we didnt have to shout :) next year then ?? ;)
�8.20 for a double vodka cranberry - 8O 8O 8O jeeesus christ, no wonder the kids are all on drugs.
too many people in front of the booth - sorry forumites, would love to have stuck around for the set, but i gotta have room to wiggle my elbows man :D
the bassbins blowing on open up - ouch, feel the distortion
dress codes at clubs - not house.
