[tronman]

'kin chupid night!

tapped/anti war vocal def fucked the place but it was the mix into the version that made it! some proper both hands in the air vibes! Malas new bits are nutty esp that one with the broken 2-step riddim. can't really remember much else apart from 151dub ( ) some wile out biz. all DJ spreadlove but its always the Mystikz that make my night

BUFF UP YA CHESSINGTON

oh yeh and also another huge tune was the one with the MCs who went

"raaaaa! raaaa! raaaaa!" with rolled Rs. if anyone has any info on that this would be wicked.

YT vocal over benga riddim i think?

last night was the full english

CHESSINGTON WORLD OF ADVENTURES

[grievous_angel]

Disko Wrekkah is the biggest tune of the moment for me. How many rewinds did it get?

Did Mala / Loefah play anything else new? Did Loe drop the new tune he premiered at FWD?

Sounds like a wicked night. Thoroughly enjoying the boy's birthday party today but gutted I missed out on last night...

[the947sw11]

my first dmz. and i'm not exaggerating by saying it was one of the best nights of my life.

lovely soundsystem, ridiculously good vibes, spot on DJing.

highglights for me was the tune at the end of hijak's set, those dubbed out kromestar ones, the anti war dub tapped mashup which just kept on surprising you.

saaaaafe to everyone i met. will definitely be returning to dmz as soon as i can.

hi all

some of you may recognise me from the Rinse FM boards, but i'm a bit fed up of the constant beef on there, so i might be posting more on here in future.

it was my first DMZ, as well as my first proper dubstep night. last night has changed my life. un-fucking-believeable.

If the Rinse FM board is anything to go by, I've probably been raving since before some of you guys were born, but I'm still into buying and DJing new music - and it never fails to surprise me when I go to a night which has such a big impact on me - though this doesn't happen that often (been there, done that, etc). I don't do drugs, and haven't done for years, but being in there last night felt like the first time I came up on a pill.

it's taken me a long time to get into dubstep, and I just didn't "get it" - I've always been more of a bashment/UKG/ragga jungle/grime raver - and even though I have a few dubstep tunes going back years, it's always been the grimey tunes which got rinsed.

I've been putting off going to DMZ for months, but most grime simply isn't doing it for me any more, so the time has come. thanks to Deapoh and Rinse, I've been listening to a lot of dubstep over the past 6-9 months, and very little grime.

and now I know why it makes sense at last - it really HAS to be experienced live. that bass was the best I've felt for ages, the crowd were great, everyone played great sets, but Loefah and Youngsta absolutely destroyed the place.

I will be back, of that there is no doubt.

Did Mala / Loefah play anything else new? Did Loe drop the new tune he premiered at FWD?

Mala played a couple of new plates at least...one was this all out bongo affair which reminded me of Conference, and this darker thing of his with snares reverbed to fuck...could be some more too but its a bit hazy.

[darkside]

some of you may recognise me from the Rinse FM boards,

You was there? Ah shit, didnt see you.

Glad you made it down bro!....nxt one you can get the cold ones in!

[billy blanks]

pinch set was one of the best sets i've ever heard, dubstep or otherwise.

[ufo over easy]

David - that earthquake tune was Vex'd Twitchy Droid Leg remix I think. heavy

Pinch played an absolute blinder, wicked to hear some different tunes no one else is drawing for.. Mala and Loefah tore the place apart, that bonga tune is incredible. Fat Freddy's Drop remix smacked it.. Youngsta played a blinder. Incredibly tight mixing, loads of teases and tricks, and a lot more variety than usual. Playing Benga tracks gives his sets a bit of a different feel. Unbelievable DJ.

Tune of the night for me was Loefah - Natural Draw if that's the name. Natural something anyway.

seems like quite a few of the rinse people are showing up here...

..snip..

Yes - everything you said! I converted two of my friends who went along last night tho they peaked a bit early and had bailed before I even got there.

For Hazmonkey and anyone else I cant comment on levels before Mala becasue I got there as Mystikz started but the pressure felt perfect, best by far of the last 3 or 4 @ Mass. I had (proper) earplugs for the first time last night and not only did my bad ear not trouble me at all the whole experience was much better.

For less than £15 these made a big difference:

I couldn't have even contemplated going in there without them and had I worn them at Leeds I might not have broken my ear in the first place.

Whistla - I looked for you bruv, found everyone but you!

Night was special. Youngsta's set was next level. Roll on 7/11 @ Mass and 2/12 @ Leeds!!

EDIT: Marijuana Pon De Corner - Richie Spice - how many rewinds?? That was a big moment too!!

[grievous_angel]

Tune of the night for me was Loefah - Natural Draw if that's the name. Natural something anyway.

Very interesting. I love that tune too. I am given to understand that it's called Natural Charge. Any rewinds for it? Any for Disko? When he first played it I don't think there were any.

Good to see the grime-oriented Rinse people getting into it. Dubstep is a SWEET scene right now, absolutely beautiful, pure PLUR. I for one would like to hear some records with dubstep sonics and grime vocals, like AppleBlim's tune with Riko (which is very nice indeed).

Oh, and did anyone drop the new Flow Dan dancehall tune?

Interesting to hear that Pinch was drawing some less obvious plates. Did he drop any of those fabulous, deep yet chunky tunes he's got?

Wow - Richie Spice is STILL getting caned? Wish it was getting a release...

[casino addict]

i can honestly say that, despite a bristolian jazz cigarette rendering me incapable of conversation for the entire dmz set, that was some of the best music i've ever heard. an absolute fucking gem of a night out.

seem to remember a lot of the rewinds had wonderful comic timing. at one point during loefah and mala's slot, stormfield and myself decided it was like haile selassie cross-pollinating chas & dave with the world heavyweight wrestling championship. well, seemed to make sense at the time.

[grievous_angel]

What did yunx drop? Anything new?

[cozagada]

really good night, more diversity than last one, more surprises
very impressed by hijack, good tunes, fantastic mixing. i want more !

big up @ synaptic, we met at last !

Disko Rekah only got played once, didn't get pulled back I don't think. There were less rewinds this time than previously Natural Charge got one, got played by Loefah and by Youngsta.. it's big It's Yours sounded massive as well. Those 808 drums are sick!

He dropped a lot of really dark, stripped down minimal stuff. Omen remix of Hag There's one Pinch track with kinda whooshing drums, bass, and not much else that was amazing

[tronman]

I for one would like to hear some records with dubstep sonics and grime vocals

yeh kromestar played that fucking dirty halfsteppa with the 4-note cello riff and the ruffage type bassline with a grime vocal over the top (if u know the one i mean).. sounded ookk.

That was, indeed, some jazz cigarette
