yes yes!
what a frickin night....
so good to be back in the original venue....
yeh man! too many AMAZING tunes!
these ones i remember, but i need some help to know if i just made em up tho!
DMZ opening with Mr Fingers 'can you feel it'!!!!! what a moment!!
sounded SO good on the system...i had literally said earlier in the evening that it was a shame that no techno or house ever got dropped at early doors....i mean, we had Benny Ill warming things up brilliantly with a load of classic rhythm & sound etc, but i always thought, its such a thin line between the dubby techno of rhythm & sound, and the more straight up techno of maurizio or jeff mills.....it was great to see the dmz boys opening up and showing other influences on their sound, not just the dub/reggae/jamaican stuff...great stuff...
also.....a kode9 remix of Blue Note?!!!! did i dream this?!! it was flippin ace...! ALL the stuff he dropped was STUPENDOUS... big things from kode9 in 2007 methinks...
and.... a Skream remix of Skunk Tip or another mellow Benga one?! was this 4 real?!! it was dutty if so!
ALL the 4x4 stuff! yes! i counted at least 4 things on a techo-ey 4x4 tip that rocked, and i think all the djs played something like this....been wating a long time for this....
also, all about the 12" dubs! out to Skream for re-cutting things like Earth A Run Red....it sounded frickin amazing on 45rpm plate! its great to know he is reppin that stuff for all the overseas gigs he is doin...those crowds still need to hear 'old' tunes like that...
the other new stuff that all the djs played was, as usual, just silly....this next year is going to be another incredible one....thats what its all about innit, crazy new tunes, no idea what they are, just total magical sonic moments...
AND!!! did the wotless boys really turn up like that?!!! i was kotchin behind the speakers for some time, or just down the front digging the sounds, i hardly turned round the whole night! i must've missed em!......thats what i love about dmz...its so easy to get lost in the music, no other entertainment is needed!
out to deapoh, walshy, ntype, tronman, bass clef, gatekeeper, necta selecta, infinite, plastic, charles, walshy, task, youngsta, pokes, shy, scientist, crazy, mala, loe, coki and everyone else i ranted to when a little worse for wear!
out to the few that stuck it to the end too....plastic repped HARD even when there was only a few of us left on the dancefloor....thats what dmz is
all about too....everyone just putting the effort in....
THEN, as i wandered out on to bricko hill at 6am it was time for the final part of my dmz journey....a frickin coach back to bristol in time for work at 9am....and i made it!......but thats another story!!
big up all DMZ crew for another magical night...
(and big up deapoh on his debut at the next one!!!)
