London: Breakfast Dub 3: Oct 26
Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2008 3:16 pm
Figured I'd start a thread for this as there weren't many people there.
What can I say, they MASSIVELY beefed up the soundsystem this time! It was sooooooooooooo good, the bass was proper pounding, I'd say it was on par with FWD, Corsica and Mass given the shape of the room and where the speakers were located. Sitting on one of 'em on the wooden stage in front of the DJ booth was something else
Thought I was getting there for 3-ish, found out I'd forgotten the clocks changed, so turned up an hour earlier, bonus! The sets together with the stupendous bass were all AMAZING! It was so nice to hear other DJs apart from the more usual big names play, the sets were different, the tunes were different (including some awesome dubplates), but they were all proper heavy and stomping! Especially enjoyed Underground Ice's set! Out to Majestic for doing a top job hosting too!
So it was a big shame that the turn-out was, well, dismal. Lets just say it felt for most of the day as though I had my own private DJ show. Which has its pluses and minuses. Guess it was a combo of FWD vs Rinse, weather and end-of-month-brokeness.
Other pity was that it ended early at 8pm. Would be (vaguely) nice to know why, hope it wasn't because of the turn-out (or my dancing). More people were just starting to show up too.
Really hope there's more to come as they have something really good going on there! Look forward to the next one!
