Hey guys, glad I got to meet up with you tonight at the Zabiela gig... I didn't realize until just before I left that all of you thought I was zenbudda... oh well, I suppose it's cleared up now. Anyway, for all of you that weren't there, you missed an AWESOME show... Zabiela was working hard all night long giving us one of the most skillful mixes I've seen in a very long time. This guy really knew how to work his gear... and still... flawless mixing.. I was really amazed. Anyhow, I'm really glad I got to meet up with you guys, hope to see you again soon.

hey man, that was mainly my fault, I left my cell in the car for some reason thinking that you were waiting for us. By the time we got to the club and I was gonna give you a buzz, I realized i left the phone in the car and none of the people I was with had written down your number. We more than likely saw each other but didn't know it. We'll definitely be back up though, a bit earlier next time, the group of peeps I was with aren't really the epitome of PUNCTUALITY!!!

Review: DJing skills and creativity 10/10
Music variety 3/10
Music style (personal preference) 6/10
Attitude 9/10

Bottom line, he's very cool and VERY humble as an entertainer, you could tell he loved what he was doing. The music style was about 80% breakbeat, 20% 4/4 prog, but man, it might just be personal preference, but it got tiring by the end of the night. The groove was there most of the night, but the energy and ups and downs seemed to be less effective as the night wore on. He could've played the same song over and over that night, and I wouldn't have noticed, a bit monotonous. His mixing was flawless and the way he touches that CDJ is a sight to behold though, his fingers seemed like lightning as he scratched. I've been inspired.

I loved this gig. It was 100x better than the Houston gig.
Every track was a CHOON! and they all were uptempo so you kept dancing the whole night. Also the place was full of pussay. Definetly the best show ive been to so far. 2 thumbs up here. I shook his hand! i am now made.

HOLY SHIT! What a night! Zabiela was at his best. He was loving it. It was a completly different vibe than when he was @ M-Bar in Houston. A DJ feeds off of the vibe and energy of the crowd.

The crowd was just giving it to James all night long and it really showed with the MASSIVE set he played. He really loves doing what he does. My respect goes out to the guy he is simply AMAZING.

He also played this great female vocal tune that was just

Oh yeah he was also using two Vinyl decks and the two CDJ-1000s

omg yeah the chick scene was crazy there last night. i was too drunk to actually be effective in picking any of them up. yeah it was booming man. i definately enjoyed. and i share ibiza's sentiment on the up's and down's not being very effective. but the ups were awesome. hey, did you see those girls dancing on the speakers? did you see one of them (on the left) put a guys hand on her ass? oh yeah baby, yeah! i was in heaven and drunk lol.
