ok i understand that everyone has their own opinions and i mean no disrespect by this but;

What the fuck are you smoking and i can i have your dealers number? coz i thought lawler on sky bar was fuckin sweet.

quote:

Steve lawler i'm gonna play one more track coz im absolutely fucked

bahahahahaha!!!!

Lawler's sun rise set was fucking MINT. He also had some great heavy tracks in guv. I was also loving The Orange Room... amazing. Security are fucking assholes. I saw a security guard yelling at this one guy because he sat on top of the vip area in the drink. He's yelling 'fuck you' and giving the finger right to his face. Why is that necessary?

i dont even know where to begin or describe in words as to how yesterday in general was

lawler lawler lawler ... going in today i knew i was in for a special treat getting to see him for the first time, and what a better way than listening to him in main room and then to finish it off on the skybar

he exceeded my expectations soooooo much at times i couldnt believe the sounds coming out of the speakers

his guv mainroom set was dark, dirty, twisted fucking house with craaaaazy build up and massive slamming drops i felt like my body was just being fucked with and i enjoyed every second of it....by far one of the best sets i have ever heard period

his skybar set was trippy undeground house, lighter than main room but very much suitable for a sunrise set full of sketch


this is a poor attempt at a reivew as i just got home now and ya...

a pleasure partying with you TAs, RJ and margaret you 2 are awesome and im glad to have met you, looking forward to partying soon. josh, graham, frank, jon jon etc etc etc etc you guys are the bomb



lawler is the UNDERGROUND KINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

and now for my review ...

OK perhaps I am biased (lol) but man I had a great fucking time this morning.

I didn’t really know how this night would play out but in the end it turned out to be a fantastic night / morning for myself. I only really got the chance to peep two DJS last night and one of those was Oliver Mcgregor who did a nice job of opening up for Steve both in the main room and on Skybar. He kept things deep and low, but groovy enough to get people interested and out on the dancefloor.

And then of course there was Lawler. I enjoyed his set in the main room as he did play some good tracks but I loved the set on Skybar as it had more of a funkier uplifting vibe to it. Pure funky ass shakin pimped up to fuck house music pimped out by Steve Lawler, who knows how to rock the shit out of a terrace!

I will say that I enjoyed this years Skybar party more than last years. The nicer weather helped and it seemed like Steve was more into it this time around. The only thing that sucked was how packed it was up there, BUT if you looked around there was room to be found for bouncing around.

+infinity plus one!!!!!

Wow. Easily in top 3 party of the yr, and I think this will stay up there.

Got to Guv at 11. Little line up. Mark O putting some some deep prog house. Good stuff.
Went up to Skybar when it opened up but wasn't feeling Joee Cons (I think) so came back for more Oliver.

Oliver MacGregor... Didn't know who he was but I guess he's Lawler's opener DJ. Lots of afterhours ish prog house. I dunno. I'm in mood for that stuff later in the night and not before warm up for the headliner. Since Mark O played some of this stuff too so by the time Lawler came on at 2, I had enough of dark and gritty prog house for a while.

So Lawler came on and the Guv got PACKED. First time seeing Lawler and I had expectations. Was in the middle of the floor with Andrew, Sara, Pett and Carney and Josh and tried to groove to the tunes. And Lawler delivered a solid set.
Except I felt that the Guv isn't the right place for those kind of beats. Or maybe because I got fed up with people trying to pass through and I couldn't concentrate to what tunage was being dropped. I said fuck it and went up to the top and I jived by myself up there. Sound quality sucked, but at least people aren't breaking my concentration.
I dunno. I just wasn't feeling it. I'm more into Desyn/Luke Fair style more uplifting prog these days and I was more psyched into seeing Desyn. Maybe if Lawler played at a smaller club with minimal lights? I wasn't feeling the vibe. Ah well.

Went up to Skybar around 3:45 and I think it was Nathan Barato dropping some heavy tunage. Lots of trippy techy shit that got the mojo going, but by this time, I've been standing for like 12 hrs straight and my legs were killing me. He dropped Daft Punk - Harder Faster (? remix). Wow. TUNE! (And Josh went crazy) Very impressed by Mr Barato!

Oliver MacGregor came back and he killed the energy Barato built up and went back to more afterhours stuff. Is it me, or did it seem like he played couple of same tunes from his earlier set?

The hype of the event, Lawler's Sunrise Set...
Wow.

He started off pretty slow and wasn't until like 40 mins into the set that he started to drop some heavy bombs. So this was what all the hype was about!
Lighter on the bass, but some electro y, techy, trippy, mindfucking goodness all around! Excellent track selection and programming. Dude was just in the zone. I dunno what else to say except it was one of the masterpiece that you just cannot believe that you've heard.
Wow.
Skybar was rammed, but people weren't as pushy as the main room. Lots of people stayed all the way till the end around 8:10. Vibe was AMAZING
Wow.

I don't think I'll get over this set for a long time.

Mark O: 7/10
Oliver MacGregor: 6/10
Nathan Barato: 8.5/10
Steve Lawler main room: 6/10
Steve Lawler Skybar: 10/10
Overall: 8.5/10

Random thoughts
-is it me, or was the crowd more sketchier than normal, esp. at Skybar?
-first time at Guv since the renovation... Not feeling it.
-went to the front to take some pics of mark O. DJ booth was at eye level. Take out camera. Booth at sky high. I wondered for a bit if I was being sketched out. LOL. Forgot about the hydraulic booth thingy.
-partying from 4:30pm till 8:10am is hard without being drunk or on pills. man, I'm getting old
-Guv main room sound sucked. way too much bass.
-Skybar was good soundwise. could have used a bit more bass though, but I guess noise complaint stops that.
-I hate where the DJ booth is at Skybar
