Got in about 10 mins before Laidback Luke came on. Luke started off his set with house but not electro house and had a lot of hip hop influences put in his tracks. After about 15-20 mins he started dropping the electro style sound he's popular for. Really like the way he mixes, spends 2-4 minutes on a track and then transitions to the next track. He also scratched about 4 seperate times in his set. Never thought it was too much and he knew which tracks exactly to scratch to and when in the track.

The Mod Club is a spectacular club, spacious main room (never checked out the upstairs room) and never had to wait long to get a drink. The bar is very long and has enough staff for a filled club. One of the things I can't believe Luke did was play 2 trance tracks, Tiesto - Flight 643 and the other I could not ID.

Overall I'd have to say I would give the night a 9 out of 10. Definitely would go to see Luke again. And btw imo I don't think he played too many bleepity bloopity tracks. At some point throughout his set, I swear some of the beats Luke dropped sounded a lot like hip hop.

after hearing a lot of trance and house deejays mix the same way for so many years (5-10 mins on a track before transitioning) made it unique and fit so well with his style. If I was a dj i would jump from different styles of mixing, sometimes doing long transitions and sometimes doing fast transitions.

ps. Funkycrew sucks

yeah of course I do

I hate this style because he'd throw a few seconds of one track and then another.. mash-up is nooot my style at all
it's def a new development in his sets, and unfortunatelly until he moves on, I won't be enjoying or attending his gigs :\

I'm sure he's done it in the past before, he is heavily influenced by hip hop so that is how a lot of hip hop dj's spin most of the time. He's experimenting and i like that

ps. Funkycrew is not funky at all
