Nick Warren at System
Well I was not impressed with the lineup outside nor with the crowd inside, amazing how many more people will show up sometimes when they hear of a big name dj, even if they don't even know who it is.
Either way though, I had a blast, Nick Warren's programming was fantastic (which is what I expect from him) but his mixing left a fair bit to be desired, aside from trainwrecks he should really begin to try and just mix through pitch shifting, the well known "nick warren syndrome" was in effect the other night. Kinda makes me grimace when you can actually hear his hand on the platter in the middle of the mix. Oh well, he dropped plenty of fantastic tracks that I have never heard before so that certainly helped to make up in the lacking areas. 
Met up with a ton of friends which was fantastic!! Great to see friendly familiar faces and met a shit load more of new people as well. I must say the vibe was fantastic! Although it was a bit better at Lawler but oh well, can't be too picky 
Stand out tracks of the night!
Dirty - Dirty !!!! (For those interested I believe its coming out on the Junior lable) Track of the night for me!!! (obscene, dirty, filthy, immoral, aw yeah!) hehehe
And I was of two sides on one of his mixes as well. When he dropped the accapella over the Satoshi Tomiie Main-path mix of Papua New Guinea he did it perfectly and with style... however I love that song so much that I sorta didn't want to hear anything that made it harder to hear the actual song... either way a nice way to make his mix stand out from others.
I'm glad that I like James Holden productions as well, because Mr. Warren certainly seems to! LOL I don't think I have heard so may Holden tracks dropped by one dj before LOL.
All in all though a fantastic night!
