Crime doesn't pay

On the other hand Corpsey does pay if you've got any more purps

I forgot to big up Benny, the last tune he played- was that a new one by him? Sick

What a FWD! Martyn dropping Fire Elements by Loefah was the highlight of the night for me. Good to meet you both Thinking, Blackdown & Dubway!

Out to Greena, Braiden, Boom, grand, Paul, Skippy and all the fwd soldiers. No marks for PK's non-attendance, shoddy, very fucking shoddy.

Best FWD i been to in an age, sick vibes throughout, seeeerious sets by all. Almost didn't reach, so glad I got in that cab.
Thank you to all those who added something to the night: Stanton, Grand, Thinking, Boomnoise, Dubway, Reso, Rekorder, Heny and all others who gave me good joke.

For anyone that missed him at FWD (including me unfortunately) Martyn's playing his last UK show of this visit in Notts on the 1st.

...rest of the line-up aint to shabby either.

Should be sick

Roy Davis Junior. Absolute, stone-cold classic!
Can't believe I didn't make the trip down to this now.

darkstar also played it on saturday. bad tune

looking forward to catching martyn again in nottm but really don't think this fwd can be topped. it was just the best combination of line-up/sound system/atmosphere/mixing/selection - pure badness

The thing is you CANT drop Classic Delux pt 1 at FWD>> and not expect a wheel. When Dusk and I heard it come in we began our SAS mission from the back of the dancefloor, sprinting through the densely packed crowd, converging on the booth at speed. Unfortunately Martyn's a big guy and all the two of us could do was hold him back.

Luckily, completely independently to us, Mr 9 had begun his run from even further back (by the entrance/stairs in Plastic People). As we had Martyn pinned down, he arrived in fine style ( ) to execute a perfect pincer movement and push button to deal with the rwd. Job done.

I tend to avoid trying to rush the DJ, but quite frankly we were provoked by quite pisstake, next level DJing. Honestly Your Honour, it was self defence! The DJ made me do it.

Seriously though, Martyn's set was amazing, taking a techno, groove-lead approach, slick mixing and ripping across multiple genres and eras. Honourable mentions go to Abstract's "Touch," Wookie's "Little Man remix," Martyn's "Broken" and TRG remix, countless Mala and Kode9 bits, Burial's "Unite" and "Archangel", Geiom's "Reminiscin" not to mention Horsepower's "Gorgon Sound" and aforementioned "Classic Delux."

Oh and finishing with Carl Craig's "At Les."

quite simply, i'm almost in tears that i couldn't hear this set. knew it would be dynamite. respect to pete bubonic

So a sincere thank you to all who attended and supported the cause of DubUKGquirkydubstepno2stepdetroithouse for 2008!!!

to martin: i really wanted to wait til the second b-line came in before rewinding but alright i forgive you

to (cant remember) : the rhodesy vocal garage tune that got rewound is a new remix i've finished, will put it up on myspace soon

to kode : your set was an absolute killer and you've been of so much support as always

some of the tunes i played touch me so deep so when im able to hear those on that system and seeing so many people grooving to it, well, yeah thats really what dj'ing is about isnt it..

Sick story mate. That Fwd was pretty good Sat down during the set in my spot perched above the left speaker for the first half... during the garage part of the set i properly got my groove on.. was a good fwd all round.

Larging up all in attendence and the dj's that played on that night, good job by all

So down I missed this, a mate from work who went has been pissing me off all week about how good it was.

RE: roy davis jr, i've been wanting to get that Gabriel tune for ages! my girlfriend has it on some compilation from back in the day and I was listening to it remembering how sweet it was/is. What version is the one to get though - the original version or the 'lve garage' vers???
