sounds like a typical bonzai "live" PA.

so to recap, a guy ran aroudn with a drum on his head, while laurent waved and jumped up and down like a loon while fucked on cocaine and the other guy wore a green alien mask and bashed a keyboard.

sounded amazing.

they all wore the alien mask to begin with, they one by one took it off. the drummer hurled the drum around his lead like some 1990's hardcore rock band lunatic style. all in all it was a scam, and ashamed of it, and it wasnt even my gig.

Aye the Green Martian Live PA was an absolute joke. It was about as live as a re-run of the Simpsons on BBC2 I weren't to impressed but wasn't overly bothered because we got to hear Harmonic Minor (my fav Green Martian track), Industry, Wizadry and Ladies & Gentleman.

L-Vee was amazing imo. I wasn't expecting much because his 2 ASOT set's bored the fuck out of me. But this wasn't the case last nite. Really suprised me with some tight mixing and a lot of tunage imo. What also suprised me was how much of a gimp he looked whilst jumping round and having a bit of a 'boogie' I thought he would be really boring and stand there looking evil like he does in photos, but he was cutting some serious shapes behind those decks Fair play to him.

The best news though was when I heard MIKE had cancelled, and we were gonna get O Bir going back to back with L-Vee for a bit. I think MIKE is an appauling DJ, and was gonna go hang out in Polysexual whilst he was on, but thankfully he cancelled so I didnt have to do that.

Yves was probably the set of the night for me. Apart from a few clashes in a couple of mixes you could tell he really knew what he was doing, and has been for years. Quality hard trance and tech-trance. I'd def like to see him again..

Tidy Boys

All in all a good night

TEST

He was testing something for me Guess he forgot to delete his post or couldn't be bothered.

i knew YDR would rock it. been a fan of his for a while since i saw him a couple of years ago. always the highlight of the night when he plays the arches

as for the live thing that sounds ridiculous...but trance live usually is.

have to agree with mikey YDR stole the night, never seen him before... not really wanted to but have always been interested to hear, and i was impressed and would maybe travel to see him again somewhere.

i entered gods when airwave were on, quite a dull boring set really, dark proggy wobbly b-line stuff, but a good way to start the night i guess.
never seen o'bir before... wasnt exactly left gasping by the start of his set, but id say the last half of his set was would began to mould the night, played jon

as for the live PA ... i wasnt really looking at what they were doing, but they just didnt look like a live PA everytime i turned around, they reminded me of sum hard house nobbers prancing around with their masks on wheeling a hoover around the place [so to speak]
industry was a pleasure to hear cos i think thats my fave l.vee track.

the polysexual was fucking rocking everytime i walked in there, had a good 15-20 mins in there to laugh at mikeys dancing

all in all was a good night tho, a little dead to begin with but ppl seemed to be coming out of the walls for YDR. i took my friend nik with me last night and it was his first 'big' night out, and he fucking loved it... the first of many i beleive, if his g/f will let him, i think we're even going to sasha next week

That was a class nite, Yves Deruyter was by far the DJ of the nite with his strange collection of beats. Airwave seemed to plays some really good choons at the beginnging of his set and then went all armin-like towards the end But he recovered when he went back to back with O'birrrrr. Green Martian were banging and the guy on the bongos was crazy, but unfortunately they were about as live your average highland rock formation

I heard a couple of amazing choons, but have no idea wot they were. 2 most random things were Airwave offering everyone peanut M&M's and the Sunny D promoter guy delving into the DJ booth fridge and giving away free beer to us All in all a quality trip out for the family and it was cool to meetup with you lot again and jay who i have not seen in like 2 years!

I do believe there is great looking video of last nite kicking about also
