lol that was 'chris' that said that ice cream truck / japanese video game thing, wasn't it? ahh, it's all fitting together now LOL glad i kept my mouth shut for once...
anyways hmm.
#1 - Mark Spoon playing his birthday party in Toronto with Jon the Dentist in '95 (tight techy and melodic and a venue so bizarre the centrepiece was a fountain filled with evian)
#2 - 2Unlimited in a scary abandoned office building in Toronto in '92 (the day the letters w t and f were invented - tour had been sorted and venues booked before anyone had heard of them, but by the time they came into town they were HUGE... how the floor didn't collapse is beyond me)
#3 - Jon Marsh (4hrs) into Sasha (6+ hrs) at Fabric in '04. (jade removal ointment with a side of real vinyl)
#4 - AVB @ Summafielddayze Gold Coast Jan '05
for me there's always been heaps of fantastic music - it's the vibe that makes the party. for all four of these sets, there was a palpable sense of 'this is something special' in the air, where by the end of the first hour you knew all the people around you by name because
a) you'd turned to them and said 'wtf is this?!' in wonder only to find them doing the same to you
and
b) you were pressed up against them anyways
the first two were seminal in terms of fertilising my passion for dance music; the latter two convinced me that there's still plenty of life in dance music, and that a decent DJ embraces every genre and focuses not on showing off his uber-elite library, but on crafting the soundtrack to an amazing party.
