And are seven, one hour sets and "no tracks over two years old" really salient selling points for a club night these days? Really? How about meandering, interesting and engaging 2-3 hour journeys and good music, without giving a toss as to when it was released?
...and the "article" is more like an advertorial; reads like the writer is friends with the promoters.
why are you being such a hater...thats what we need more of, ey?

Everyone's entitled to their opinion at the end of the day. All I'd say is go attend a show before forming/giving one whether positive or negative.

I think I'm somewhere in the middle. I completely agree with diversity in any set but if you want a certain kind of style what's wrong with that? (For me I'd say I wouldn't go for the latter regularly though...)
