Well, im just about computerable today so i thought i would start the review for what was a fantastic night.
First of all i would like to thanks everyone who helped with the organising.. Cano & Saysay
Couldnt have done it without you's, and i'm ded glad you're part of the crew
LouLou for doing a wicked job with the flyers
and everyone else who contributed in some way or another, that if ive forgot then im probably still not quite 100% yet lol
The DJs on the night excelled themselves from the first beat of music right until the very end, well at least till the start of my set anyway lol Cano kicking the show off with 2hr15mins of downtempo legends style tunes, building up to some corkers like black box - hold on, beatbusters, Olympia - You want my love,and Bassomatic-fascinating Rhythm, leaving Recca a perfect platform to take off from.
Recca was up next and stepped up the pace with Last Rhythm, funkatarium, & The phoenix et al to really get the crowd on their feet with their hands like this \o/ it was really great to see the hotstepper out with his usual massive smile, playing tunes he loves himself
Cheers Rexxy
Glad you had such a good night mate
SaySay played a right stonkin set, (as commented on by loads of my mates from back home
) and also not her usual style which just goes to show what a great little Deej we have on our hands here!! Playing stuff like smaller than zero, the extravagance ep, and Street Level Funk - Show Me What You Got, the crowd were well up for it by the time the man like Tony Ross graced the turntables
With some absolute stormers too!! Urban Hype - Tecknologi, Yobots - I got it, DOP - Groovy beat(i think lol) and of course the Young man himself
Young MC - know how, which had the crowd goin' for it bigtime!!! it was really mint to see you playing with a smile this big
i take it you enjoyed it T
the final hour was left up to me, and i tried to play some absolute classics, to make everyone go home with a smile on their faces.
I didnt realise the reaction of the crowd at first as i was concentrating on mixing lol but whoever had my camera recorded a video of me playin my first tune and practically all you can hear is the crowd
\o/
In response to the few who thought there should have been more anthems..
well, thats not really why we started the event. We started the night as we are all sick to death of hearing the same old shite regurgated week in week out, and wanted to give the DJs a chance to play what they wanted. I think every single DJ (especially me) played enough well known tunes to compliment the lesser known ones, and we think we really dont need to go down the route of playing anything that may ever be considered for a M.O.S album
so if you want to hear KKlass and Rhythm quest this isnt the night for you
For example, my set, crammed full of well known hands in the air beasties\o/
Kariya - Let me love you for tonight(rebuilt)
King Bee - Back By Dope Demand
Nitro Deluxe - Lets get Brutal
Orange Lemon - Dreams of Santa Anna
Tendance - I cant take it
Roberta Flack - Uh Uh Oh Oh Look out(here it comes)
Ten City - Thats the way love is
Inner City - Big Fun (LA Big fun remix)
Frankie Knuckles - Your Love
Jomanda - Got a Love for you
Joe Smooth - Promised Land
Bizz Nizz - Dont miss the party line
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
Electronic - Getting away with it
New Order - Blue Monday
Happy Mondays - Step on
Nenah Cherry - Buffalo Stance
Anyways not gonna go on anymore about that lol
but i would like to say a huge big thanks to everyone who turned up with in their dancing shoes, with their smiley faces, who made the night such a success. Of course the usual crew, love you longtime
and the newbies Tom & Si and your lovely girlies, was great to meet yas, and really good to see you's goin for it so early (and then kept it up the whole night) Wayne and yer missus, Davey and yer mate and anyone else i may have forgot
lol :$
Anyways, I'd again just like to thank everyone once again for making it a great night to be part of
