I guess you are all expecting me to diss it and say how shit it was......i really want to just because it was the Rupublic on a saturday night, and not Gatecrasher....but the thing is, I can't. I have to say it was one of the best nights i've had outside Gatecrasher in a long time.

It was purely bizzarre when we walked in, Barry White was playing on the entrance dance floor, and a load of ben shermans seemed to be really enjoying themeslves. Understandabley i nearly turned around and walked straight out then....but i didn't, we went into the onto the main dancefloor, and convinced ourselves that when Andi Durrant came on he would save the day with some trance.........

....and do you know what......HE DID!


Just so you know what i mean, here is a partial tracklisting (all the ones that i can remember) appoligies for any mistakes, but i had been somewhat glugging at the vodka.

Freefall - Skydive (opening track)
Planet Perfecto - Bullet in the Gun
Ayla - Ayla
Push - Strange World
Sinead O Connor - Troy (Push Remix)
System F - Out of the blue
Iio - Rapture (Armin Van Burren mix)
Jan Johnston - Flesh (Tiesto Mix)
Underworld - Born Slippy
Binary Finary 1999 (Gouryella mix)
Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (Gabriel and Dresden unplugged mix)
Faithless - God is a DJ
Way Out West - The Gift (Club mix)
Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar (Three 'n' One mix)
Barthez - On the move
Kosheen - Hide you (Creamer and K mix?)
Tiesto - Flight 643
Faithless - We come one
Delerium - Silence (Tiesto's I.S.O.S. mix)
Evoke - Arms of Loren


Not bad eh? The atmosphere obviously wasn't up to GC standard, but i did get a random Ben Sherman clad man hugging me durning the breakdown of Troy...so it wasn't all bad.

Congratulations to Andi Durrant.....a fucking MINT set!
