James Zabiela Review
oh my fucking god
this man is unbelievable
his skills are second to none
his scratching and deck skills are impecable
tunes of the night were:
Dave Gahan - Dirty Sticky Floors (JXL Vocal Remix)
Size DDD - Techno
Sasha vs Mike Koglin - Enjoy The Gravy (James Zabiela Mash Up)
and while we were waiting outside in the que we heard Kate Bush vs Infusion - Running Up That Hill
OMG.
The best performance I have ever witnessed
Nixter & Jace
Shite, posted on ITM again b4 here....going 2 do the ye olde cut n paste....
was nice 2 meet all u AU.TArs again...u guys know where it's @ (and helen of course ;} }
IT was REALLY good!
I'm still trying to figure out how he did 1/2 of the things he did OMG. It was like nothing I've ever heard before. Garden prog? Nar...try sampling 2 tracks a head of what your mixing, whislt scratching your next track an fucking with the current track....CRAZY!
Music was, I LIKE A LOT. I've heard roumors growing he's better than sasha...I'd have to agree....Just amazing what he was doing.
THe sound was great @ 2230, then ppl arrived and everyone absorbed it and it lost it's highs, and all sound from about the middle back (where the bar started;ie no wall 2 bouce off?) The system itself up the front was great volume and depth....4 hours standing there really hurt my tummy tho
I'd have to say that was the best set I've ever listened to. The vibe wasn't too crash hot for quite a while (GO the over packing), but what was being played, and how it was being played, I was amazed...I'm sorry if I offened anyone by swearing @ the top of my lounges nearly every min coz of what was going on.
Enjoyed my seconds outing with the ITM.Prog Massive (Pleasure is mine )
I'm not sure if many of you noticed, but a LOT of the trance massive were there, as well as most of the Sydney AU.TArs.....Not one person I saw would of rather of been anywhere else, fucking amazing! 111goods out of 10!(cept 4 the fuck up @ the started due 2 the mixer channel, and being over packed, and too hot, and having to use the toilets down stairs[any of u guys notice the water running ALL the time after about 0200? That was me who tricked it ])
Bring on sweetchilli I say with Main Element!

definately one the most awesome nights ! as you probably heard from about 1000 other the people, the man is just incredible. everything from dropping about a million samples at a time to scratch mixing CD-R's, Zabiela can do it all !
the venue did suck however, we were stuck in the upstairs area of the Arthouse and it was just soooo packed with not abosolutely no air conditioning. Massive props to all the lengendary Ta's that were there Wade, Helen, Adam (jace)and Nicky you guys are just simply awesome ! thanks for making the night an even greater spectacle 
Highlight of the night definately had to be when Zabs dropped Dirty sticky floors (Junkie XL mix) ! I must have shoved about a thousand people to get to the front to be with Helen and the rest of the crew ! such a spectacular moment.
wow man.
the man never ceases to amaze me...
this set was f8ckin brilliance!.
shit
!!!
err.
i just woke up before.(bout 3) LOL!!!
my legs are killin me.
but it was soo fookin worth it!
this kid imo will be in the djmag top100 - top10 very fuckin soon
no one scratches and samples like James does...NO ONE!
i dare say i rate him higher than Sasha. 
wikked time ..
great to see all u TA's
WAde = thanks man....had a fckn wikked time!
S_madis = when Dirty sticky floors came on...LOL!!!
i look behind me and there u are......bulldozing ur way thru the crowd! to reach us ! hah = class!!
Leigh = babes. again ur amazing!
adam / nicki = had an awesome time! cant wait for ur set, this friday...make sure u rip it up like zabs, eh?
soo yeah!!
one thing tho..
the venue was 'ok' i think alittle TOO overcrowded and kinda long and narrow. causing some slight probs [always a shitfight to get out adn go anywhere!].....
sound was absolute! amazing!
bass was rockin, u could feel it vibrating isnde of u [i was in front of speakers some parts!]
iev said my part!
i just cant wait to have him back here again!!!
x helen
Well, what can i say but "Wow, i mean like super double WOW with extra cheese!!!!"
The man was amazing and he was really getting into it (though hes a shy little bugger eh?? ), that was probably the reason why i remained in the front row for the entire 5 hour set without moving!! (dehydration is like so 90's!! 
).
Ive never heard any dj make the decks sing like that!!! This is one DJ that has gained an avid supporter!!!!!
Helen: babe, you are still the most fun person to club with!!
djway : nice to meet you man, c u at Halcyon!! Bring on the tasty beats!!!
missed it --- would have loved to come but u know.. definitly next time.
i saw a pic of this dude, how old is he?? he looks mighty young
zabiela is 23.
what did he sample? because he _raped_ CM - Space Manouvres to the point it was annoying in perth.
lol @ escee!
yes he raped the ..space man sample here also!
loopin over songs
i was about to die wen i heard te blerererererererep
noise.. [hehe] ./as i thought he was gonna drop spaec man. but alas he didnt but still fookin was aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah sooo good..
i wanna go back!!! :/
I saw him in Canberra, on Friday night, and putting it bluntly there is no act I have ever seen that can compare with that set. His technical skills are to die for. I was just about a blubbering mess at the quality of his performance. I'm confident in saying, If you missed this guy, you've probably missed the set of the year, if not the decade.
helen...
told ya 
ahh dammit .. I wanted to go to this, but went to buy a ticket yesterday (first chance I'd had), and they were sold out!!?! 
Sounds like an amazing night, hope u all had fun .. catch up with u all at Halcyon on Friday
Everyone else has summed up my feelings pretty well. The skills on display were jaw dropping.
Venue was rather dodge. Once you were 7-8m's back from front sound got lost.
How young does he want to look! Grin on his face bouncing around.
Very enjoyable night overall. Wish I was more knowledgable on the sound and everything else he was doing and I probably would have realised how lucky I was to be there. I couldn't have picked a track all night.
I didn't really mind the venue at all
from where I was the sound was so crisp and fresh, was really good
it was a well needed change from gas
i have 2 shots of him looking into my cam and waving ... i will post them up when i can
For those that missed out i have a friend who was able to record both the canberra and the sydney sets!!!!
When i get a copy ill pass em round!!
ooh yes leigh babe!!!
i cant wait!
*raises hand for a copy if possible*

Grant didn't record the sydney one, but he knows the guy who got it on DAT. He had his lappie going at the Canberra gig though. I'm trying to convince him to give me a copy of it, but if I can't, can I get copies of you lethal?
thats Wade! in pic
Oh yeah would love a copy of one of the sets
