Just got home at 8am from the Goth-Trad and Mala show in Osaka. Checked out the Tokyo thread, good to see they smashed it there too. The venue in Osaka was small and not that rammed, maybe 50 people or so in total? But the system was fairly good and obviously the guys smashed it. Sorry for the bad pics, my camera is shit and the battery was going. I haven't slept so sorry if this is incoherent...probably not as bad as the rubbish I was spouting to Mala when we had a chat...battered, what can I say. I was talking absolute gibberish but I think he understood where I was coming from.

I also had the strangest conversion I've ever had in Japanese with Goth-Trad:

G-T: Your face is funny
Me: What?
G-T: It looks like anime
Me: What?
G-T: Your face looks like anime. I could draw it
Me: Is that a good or a bad thing?
G-T: Good

[G-T wonders off]


Met up with T2R (dubstep producer from Nara, check this thread for some of his tunes: http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=13706), he took the photos. Cool guy, although chronically shy with the ladies...


Goth-Trad pon deck. Although he doesn't actually use the decks at all, it's a laptop for him.

Mala. Started with Changes. Played a couple of dubs I've never heard before. Goth-Trad was videoing the crowd or skanking out throughout. Mala was in a Back to Chill t-shirt and Goth-Trad was in DMZ 2nd anniversary t.

Don't think anyone was down with the rewind concept. No one was calling for any but I had to have Tortured pulled up.

Beery skank

Mala looking stoic as I drunkenly talk to him. Me looking like the whitest man ever. Also, I do actually have a right arm, although it doesn't look like it in the photo.

Never noticed I have a big suspicious stain on my t-shirt before. Sleeeeep

Just woke up and realised I lost my phone at some point. Muppet. And Mala didn't start with Changes at all, it was a dub track.
