Great reviews.. I must agree, Dubfire was a little monotonous at first.. but he got me in quite a groove later on in the night. This was one of my favourite parts of the night:
i didn't mind him playing grindhouse but was thinking "hmm.. isn't this song 2 years old now?" but the crowd's reaction proved that it's holding up well against the test of time :P
some repetitive bits at the start of his set, but got better by the end. a lot of dark melodic twisted "progressive" tracks, with his usual killer techno basslines in between that i had to karate chop the air to.. even past 6am it didn't look like anybody was getting tired and wanted more.
main room was too packed for me during most of squillace set so stayed in the gallery a lot of the time, agree with everyone's comments, was off the hook in there. on the fence about the new decor though, not feeling the lite brite look

Definately was the weakest of all Family Day events, but still had loads of fun! Squillace played the best I've seen him with multiple usage of songs incorporating instruments.. sax.. kazoo.. etc. Dubfire was.. wait for it.. horrid. No surprise there. Deep... slow... builds with the same expected drops. He redeemed himself during the last 40 minutes of his set. It was pleasing to hear Grindhouse.. but the track he played directly before it was probably the best track I've heard this year... it was really epic and sounded like a follow up to Grindhouse.. could be tune of the Summer. I'm thinking it's an unreleased track of his. Can someone confirm this?
I must say, I LOVE the new Gallery design. It makes it feel less... creepy? They should give the room a new name and perhaps try a different sound in there. It has potential for greatness imo.

My family day was great! It started with a valentines dinner with Jill, Tara and Geoff which was sooo, soo much fun .. great to see you guys, glad we got to catch up. Then a nap seemed a much better idea than rushing to get ready .. but of course I over slept. I don't think I'll ever go to an all access party before 2 again .. I've done it the last few times and I just love it. The crowd isnt absolutely unbearable, I'm not too drained and I can avoid most everyone I don't want to see.
I'm sad I missed Carlo, but I caught a bit of Squillace who was anything but a disappointment. I wish he had had a longer set, but thats my fault for missing him.
My night was just pure randomness .. great people, hilarious, non-stop antics and great beats. I haven't been to guv since LOL and it was probably the first time I've had so so sooo much fun.
Dubfire was on fire, I was either dancing or laughing my ass off the entire night. Jill... Grindhouse moment was prob the fav of my night haha glad we got to have ourselves a bit of an adventure
haha wow.. its already wednesday and I'm still excited .. and tired LOL
