sometimes you think you're dreaming, but you really are just witnessing something truly fantastic.
Ben Neil - perfect introduction to a truly outside-of-the-box, boundary pushing evening of gorgeous music. That trumpet is something else and those basslines were so intense...
Alex Incyde and DQ - you guys' ear for amazing music is a blessing to everyone who hears you play.. this night would not have been complete
Ladyman threw down a dirty beeyotch of a set, and so did Badawi for that matter.
Martyn. Holy crap. Everyone had this extremely pleased look on their face and arms in the air and about this time I think the whole crowd had an O together when the Roberta Flack RMX came on.
Joe Nice - you always kill it, but last night, you dressed it up like a damsel in distress, tied it to the railroad tracks, hired a cowboy to rescue it, took it to a safe place, said 'just kidding', and then killed it. Olivia Newton John 45s for the win.
Fly-Lo - dude. Because the line-up wasn't SICK enough, Flying Lotus had to just randomly show up and play in the 4am afterglow of one of the best Dub Wars I've ever been to??? That's like saying 'hey, you like cake?' how about we stuff a delicious cookie with cake, bake it into another cake, dip it in chocolate, cover it in sprinkles, put a cherry on top, and then give you a billion dollars?'
Floss Daily - I'm surprised I didn't just drop dead after this because just when I thought the night couldn't get any better, this dude just drops tune after tune of the sickest, most forward-thinking future shit I've never heard before. When I asked what he was playing everyone said 'he won't tell anyone' and I'm pretty sure its because he hasn't been born yet, and those tunes haven't been made yet because he's FROM the future. There is, in fact, a time machine portal below Liz the Light Girl at club Love.
Describing the music last night as 'phenomenal' is an understatement.. I think ppl will look back on this night and think, this was truly inspiring, what a blessing to have been in this place at this time.
