Archangel! It was either that or Near Dark I thought. Like i said i only caught 10 seconds and thats me trying to remember after being in a pretty mashed state. Ahh Poison Dart. EPIC TUNE.

But in all seriousness I saw about 8 guys with state-of-the-art cameras. Must be some pictures?

FWD>> have done tape packs before haven't they? I'm sure I've seen one. So there's hope?

I would love to be able to relive that night every day on the way to work.

Was amazingly good. Missed Ben UFO's opening set but got in time for all of Zinc's set, which was probably the highlight of it for me, runners up being Skream's and Oris Jay's. Whole night was amazing though, if there was one set that was a bit weaker it would be Oneman's, for the simple fact that a few of those tunes are still overplayed for me (ugh, Wut again...). I taped a bit of Zinc - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssuP_yzmhMg - but the bass was too loud for my camera, as you can hear.

There was one tune by Oris Jay that I was expecting to have to ask for an ID of here, but I managed to find it, an instrumental of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yQhjFYifN4 . Who's the producer of this track, though? It was credited on the vinyl to someone whose name began with B and maybe ended with M or N. Any ideas?

Amazing memories from this night. Was there from about 10.25 till some time after 6 during Oneman's set (had to catch a train home).

Ben UFO (2011) - difficult opening spot, got a few people moving, warming up.
Zinc(2001) - Never heard most of his stuff from those days before. 138 Trek, maybe one or two others. Great energy though!
Oris Jay (2002) - Great stuff, not too knowledgable about again. :oops:
Slimzee (2004) - Some amazing instrumental stuff. Never been much of a grime guy, but Morgue was heavy! :o
Youngsta (2005) - :o Obviously. Dropped everything that needed to be dropped. Managed to have sneak half a smoke in the middle of the floor during (ambition fulfilled!). The reaction to to Request Line was priceless! Such vibes! As people said, almost a religious experience with Pokes on mic. :mrgreen:
Kode 9 (2007) - Fucking outstanding! Almost easy to forget how brilliant Kode can be. Entire thing was brilliant!
Skream (2006) - Crowd was starting to get tired by this point (or at least I was), the music was too good to resist though! Loads of classics! Went off.
Marcus Nasty (2009) - The set I saw the least of. I needed a rest so went outside for a while.
Hatcha (2003) - Might have missed a little at the start, but listened from the benches inside. Remarkable sound. Apparently 90% unreleased dubs.
Oneman (2010) - Caught a bit, was nice as always. :D But wasn't as 'special' compared I guess. He can't disappoint though really.

Sadly missed N-Type's '08 set, which would have been cool, but me and my mates were too far gone. :lol:

Highlights for me...Youngsta / Kode 9 / Skream. Flawless almost.

Venue was real underground feeling. Sparse and fucking dark. Not 100% on the bouncers though, saw a guy chucked during Kode 9 for rolling in the middle of the floor. :(
Wasn't quite the smoking paradise some the veterans I'm sure would have liked, but the crowd was so fucking good it didn't matter. Everyone was there for the right reason it seemed.

Great to see all the people wandering round too. Saw Skream, Loefah and Pokes walking round the Rinse exhibition while I was there :t:

T_! ever present too. :W: I think I almost tripped up Coki going to the smoking area...

Hard to see a night being much better than this for a while. Outlook round the corner though. ;-)

I took a few short videos throughout the night which I might upload. Too dark for visuals really and the sound is a bit fucked, might as well share though. :Q:

Fucking Skeng went off soo hard! Still trying to remember what song went off the hardest. I mean every fucking classic got played that night bar a handful and they all got proper reactions from the crowd.

For some reason I seem to remember night/request line/I (loefah rmx) going off the hardest but probably cant even remember properly

Yeah man it was a naughty little number!



Heres another vid I got, excuse the audio quality but you get the gist. You can hear the crowd going nuts when kode9 brings in Night and then at the end when he reloads it people got wild.
