Just for clarity, the night was supposed to start at 10 but they didn't open the doors until 10.50, leaving a massive queue of disgruntled people standing outside. Luckily for Jon one of the DJs in his room dropped out and he got to play for an extra hour, later in the night, rather than getting 10 minutes. I think I was about the fifth person to walk into the main room, just as he mixed in Stone Cold. Not a bad tune to start the night, really.
The soundsystem in the main room was absolutely amazing - really loud and punchy but with clarity on the mids and treble, and you could still hold a conversation without shouting - and you got the full "big room" reverby sound in such a large space. These tracks sounded absolutely amazing in there, perfectly fitted the look and feel of the room, especially when the lights went down just as Jon moves into the darker psy material towards the end.
I thought this was an amazing set on the night, and having listened back this morning it still holds up on the headphones. The flow is really, really good and that transition into Black Arrow is gorgeous. Quite a bold decision to drop that, and it sounded incredible through those speakers. That polyrhythmic mid-section in particular is absolute genius. And to follow it with Jirah - The Visitor was perfect as well.
