I had a great night at Contact but have come to think that shorter sets and longer dj line-ups aren't for me... It's like a sample of their potential and some of them didn't perform as I anticipated.
I was really disappointed when songs were repeated.
I completely underestimated Rank 1, and think that it was the best set of the night. I completely agree that he should have played second to Blank & Jones who were good but didn't wow me. But I guess that's the cost of following a hard act to beat. I'd love to see Rank 1 again!
Menno... ugh! I've seen him before and he made my night amazing. I remember hearing him drop serious tunes that made the crowd explode. This time around, his mix was just mediocre. I definitely expected more, I listen to his podcasts and they have more edge, more of those harder, less fluffy beats mixed with some innovative songs that other djs don't incorporate into their sets. I think he played too safe a set; songs that we've already heard and know him for playing. Although, "Last Night Tonight" is great and his energy was contagious.
Morph was good, but I found his set to be up and down... he had some boring songs followed by amazing tracks, but altogether wasn't really consistent and I left after giving him an hour's worth. I think he was going along with the vibe of the club, compensating for songs that might not have had the desired effect, which I'll give him credit for. I'd see him again.

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
