Well, well, well...what a night! Brought along two of my boys who've never been to DMZ before, including one of my old school FWD>> partners and I KNOW they're gonna remember it for life.
Got in at about 11 and caught Silkie and Quest. Was a decent crowd, I think the earlybird/queue jumping crew definitely had the right idea. Big up the crew who know about the breakdown on Headbutt the Deck. Out to my conducting crew, you KNOW about music!
Pinch and Joker mashed it up. The Bristol boys know the deal, believe!
BIG up Kode9 and Oneman, that 8 bar garage dub was serious. Made one of them back in the day that had a very similar selection...out to the UK Garage lovers, I know certain people weren't feeling it but certain people don't know music so FUCK it! Got Myself Together....JEEEEEEEEZ!!!
DMZ smashed it. I don't know what else to say, I don't think anyone was expecting anything less. All I know is that my neck and my back felt wrong the next day. Big up Coki, the new bits are sounding dutty. Spongebob.
Fuck it, big up everyone who played. Had to leave at about 5, didn't have the stamina plus I had a car parked across the road and driving back to Oxford without falling asleep was a priority.
A LOT of new faces and I think most people will agree that the scene is changing, but DMZ is an institution that will either educate you or scare you off. A lot of people got educated on Saturday, trust!
Out to everyone I saw inside/outside the dance, Dubloke, Gags, Skream, LP, Petrozzi, Get Low crew, the UEA ladies, Alys Blaze, Mr Lager, Headhunter (nice meeting you, Tony!), Heny, Silkie, Darcy, Cosgrove (Free Range/Club:Dub soldier!), Darkman, Skandal & Natalie, Hijak, Tes La Rok, all the Oxford local crew, all the Oxford Brookes crew, Jibba (good meeting you, bruv!), Braiden and anyone else I've forgotten. Proud to have shared the night with you lot, trust me. Out to my girlfriend Kate in Torino, M.I.A but there in spirit!
Big up all DMZ family, Pokes and Crazy D, the ladies on the door, the sound engineer, the Police (I thought they were gonna lock it off, thank fuck they didn't), the barstaff....Definitely a big one.
I'm still applauding
