Every FWD I hear about is better than the last one.

I've got to make it before it degenerates into a funky house night.

Fwd was kinda dope last night. Ghost back on track!!

great to see you down there! what was that track off the cdr you had? that tore it up for me. blown away by it.

Clap your hands 4 n.type!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Always a good nite!

Chest boxing was the tune that did it for me.....everytime! And that duppy/request line refix that plastic played - large! I think what made it so good was that it was 4 different styles, which made the build up to N-Type that much bigger, and fuck me, he didnt disappoint!

Big up plastician for busting some grimbal vibes, eskimo was sick.

N Type pretty much played a set which you could call "THE A-Z" of dubstep at this moment in time

Really great set from him - best I've heard him play.

Quick mixing, back to back bangers - can't fault the man!

Great crowd there last night - good energy - the most fun I've had playing in ages and i didn't even use serato!

You got it well going mate. Everyone i was with were losing it to your set. It was a well structured night. I started BROCKING OUT to you and then i lost it

what a night.....!!!!

plastician back on the wax and mixing as nasty as he ever has! one of the best in the game IMO.....drawing for some old stuff too, goes to show it doesn't matter WHEN tune are from if they are bangers!

continuing that theme, it was amazing to see El-b rock the house with 5 plus year old tunes! so good that the dancefloor responded, would've been a gutter if peeps had not felt it....too many tunes, so many i've passed up on SO many times! now i'm on an el-b mission! ebay watch out!

N-Type, well what more can be said....he just smakced it.... The energy levels were stupendous...i have to say the last 2 FWDs have been amongst the best vibe EVER down there, as long as i've been going, and thats a fair while!

its such a special vibe down there...so nice seein all the faces, the old, the new, proper scene heads from day, el-b, j da, jason h, tubby, meeting ironsoul and benga properly at last, chattin to deapoh for time out the back!

the dramas that unfold around the decks and dancefloor of FWD>> are truly unique, its utterly a way of life, and something i am truly humbled and honoured to contribute to, in whatever small way i can....

sorry, ranting on, but seriously folks, i could write an essay on some the mad scenes u see at FWD>>! *don't worry i won't!*

out to selom, ade, the bar staff, the doormen, amy and sarah for makin it possible innit....and big up ALL crew past and present...

u could see it when Viper was down the front the other week..this is a guy whose life was garage...one of the true oldskool mcs, and his face was just twisted in delight at the blines and riddims that were getting unleashed! its cool to see freah ears getting into it, coz u can get too used to it innit, sometimes its cool to step back and just go WOW! the power in this music...its insane!


*rant over*

appleblim u don! the type of rant i dont mind seein up in dis biatch!

fwd was live-o.

i been on a binge ever since. i cant sleep

weighin my brain... *too much* cocaine...

im goin insaine

I CANT TOP IT

IT WAS TOOO FUCKIN LIVVVVVVE

O MY DIDDY FWD WAS MENTAL EVERY DJ SMASHED IT.... BUT N TYPE WAS JUST..................................................DEEP

Should have went, had a feeling it was gonna be sick

This very simple little poem from Melbourne Australia:

Rub it in ya pricks.............

Have made the biggest mistake of my life?

I had the opportunity to film N-Type's set @ fwd on fri for my documentary........ but I didn't!

Ouch! I've kicking myself all weekend

Sorry to everyone for not recording a sick moment in fwd history!

LAAAAAAARGE!! L L L L L LAAAAARGE!!!!!

-Only word i have to describe.

ha that was large. big up the chest boxin massive!!

yeh night was heavy, took some mates who had never heard dubstep before and they loved it! they werent feeling the el-b set as much and were a bit confused by the ridiculous amount of rewinds (every other tune at the start of n-types set) but it was all good...
place was packed, people outside gettin denied acess...
first time id been, glad 2 hear it was one of the best

is FWD happening this week - or is everyone going to elephant for Torment?

i dont think dat this fwd was all that far to much grime and then they put n-type on last so you had chill all nite listening to grime only to hear one dubstep set. it should be dubstep all da way long for da grime

El-B??? GRIME???

I think you're narrowing your dubstep boundaries a little too much. As far as grime goes I was the only DJ to play any that night and even my set was more than 50% dubstep including some tracks which helpled shape the scene.

Diversity in sound is what makes FWD the night it is today. 3 years ago a club full of attitudes like yours would have killed the night off. Luckily there are a lot more open minded people in the community now and we're able to push things forward.

You can't have an entire night of wobbly basslines - if thats how you are pigeonholing what you believe to be dubstep. I'm not sure how long you've been listening to dubstep but the music El-B played was pretty much THE sound which made dubstep what it is today.

Sorry to get on my soapbox - everyone's entitled to an opinion, I just wanted to share mine.

Having been going to FWD>> not even as a DJ but for a punter since the very first night it happened, I think its at its healthiest point ever right now - and I'm sure anyone else in my boat would agree that things are definitely moving forward right now. Getting anal about what is and isn't allowed to be played there would take us back to the days when Hatcha got caned on dubplate net forum for playing too many Benga tunes - in those days it was labelled "8 bar" and the purists got very silly about it. Imagine today's scene without Benga?? Its a ridiculous attitude to have, just let the experimental sounds nurture themselves and let the DJ's express themselves and we'll be in for a very interesting movement.

I hope i'm not chatting shit - I just get heated when I see comments like that. I thought we moved away from that argument a good 3 years ago![/b]

got to agree.. grime n dubstep are brothers deep, more exciting when a night pushes both
