got there at 11pm. Kazell was warming up with some generic stuff - nothing really special.
Diggers starts right around midnight and brings a more evil vibe... later plays a track with a bit of a jazz sound to it which I like. First hour has a lot of little peaks - flirting around. Hour 2 is Sasha. One of his first tracks is something complex and amazing that wasn't done justice by the overly bass- oriented sound system. Stoppage time remix came somewhere later in this hour and again, a bit too much bass IMO. But what really surprised me about hour 2 was the driving techno that sasha was playing. (Attn. Lord Lucan, Sasha was actually exciting.) No "wimpy" tech-house stuff, not a whole lot of melody. All in all very nice.
The middle of the set was solid. The dancing really got started from here on, and as mentioned, the temp suddenly went up like 30 fukin degrees. For me there was only like 3 tracks the whole night that were sort of blah (good time to go to the mens room). I've heard "Nhar - Mithril" before but it really sounded great played out and seemed to resonate with the crowd. Diggers plays track 2 from the 5/31 space opening set ("hey mama" vocals), Cirez d - fast forward, and a few more fucking ridiculous tracks, the kind that can take you from zzzz to WOOOO!! at 4am after hours of dancing.
The end was 1000 lords, and Crackpots, and finally ladytron. I was expecting some new bombs at the end so I was def. disappointed by the close, still with over 5 solid hours of ass-kicking techno, I can't complain.
Verdict: fuck yeah! can we do this every month?
