Saw James Blake DJ last night...

Post by lejazz » Fri Jun 11, 2010 8:05 am

He was big, and also big in a tall way.

Thought the set was properly creative. His productions made even more sense after hearing them played on a decent system. I'd only ever really listened on headphones and when I've played them out to people that just look confused when you play stuff like that, so was good to see people properly dancing to that stuff.

Couple of tunes that stood out for me (there were a ton I don't know but sounded incredible):
James Blake - Saying (is this coming out? It's addictive!)
Blawan - Fram
Peverelist - Roll with the punches (harmonimix)
Also heard a tune that had a sample saying "his majesty king selassie I" before the drop. Know what that might be?

Great night, big ups Mr Blake and National Rail Disco for putting him on.
Oh, and hello all, 1st post here, long time lurker.

Wish he played the Peverelist remix when I saw him :(
Man's on a next level ting though, was great seeing people sing along to CMYK when he played. Was also fun seeing people sing along to Skeng too. Man is a great selector.

I remember singing along to Skeng when I saw him play. Was quite drunk to say the least. My girlfriend and mates wondered what was wrong with me...

Saw him live in Portland last night. Fantastic show, really great speakers and the crowd was having a good time. Seems like a really humble guy

Would love to catch a dj set from the man :)
