packed Jazz Upstairs one last time
festive is an understatement
Martyn's set was out of this world. Him & Kode 9 are playing for me the most forward thinking music between 130-140bpm. TRG proceeded to simply burn the place down till 4am, we concluded with 30mins of jungle past,present & future and farewell-ed the venue>>> sick sick vibes, no restrictions in there whatsoever, management enjoyed it every bit too
one of the most important venues in Athens has just gone by ways of extreme hustlin, dealing and plain blatant 'shooting' right outside the venue in the last 4 yrs. it had to close. we had to make one final blow.
Jazz Upstairs exists as a venue since 1997, mostly jazz gigs but went through a house period until it went back on to pure jazz and then in Oct. 2006 we brought back the 'intimate club' experience hosting the following names:
DJ Flight, Shylo MC(Future Thinking), Rohan(Bassbin), MC Justyce , Pinch, DJ Storm, Calibre, Macc, Loefah, Stamina MC, Mala, Marcus Intalex, MC DRS, Sgt Pokes, Silkie & Quest(Deep Medi) and last Thursday Martyn & TRG.
along ourselves taking the last DJ set of every night there the following Greek DJs graced the decks on a special warmup set each and every time: Yegor, MC Yinka, Anna Mystic, MC Daz, Lo Fi, Alexees(Urban Disco), Skitlab, Petit Bear(Beatknicks), Mista Operator(Dubwise HiFi), Thomey Bors(Beatknicks) & J Melik(Re:Vinyl), our own Lowdown North DJs A.Kid & Saint
DJ sets from some of those nights and other memorabilia will be posted soon here. Till then enjoy a jungle set with us (the d2) and Sgt Pokes back in Feb 09' when we had the mighty Silkie & Quest in town:
