wow i'm pretty fuckin tired... the night's music was completely unreal... i got in a little after 9 and the place was still kind of empty so retrobyte was playing lighter, minimal tracks. around the halfway point of his set, josh tells the lighting guy to kill the bright red lights on the floor and the place starts filling out of nowhere. i come back from having a smoke and retrobyte is tearing it up with some punchy progressive tracks, each of which he's twisting up on some slick evolution sound controller. i mean he was ON the controller for every track he dropped. it was a very lively, creative set in the sense that the dj was actually performing a unique musical experience, which would become a theme for the night. retrobyte wound it down a little as a segway into pete's set and when pete from bassbin twins stepped up, he took us on an electro/tech/techno/breaks ride that was just as impressive. again, a lot of vigorous tweaking for the majority of every track with a more advanced version of the evolution controller. being the first time i've heard christopher and pete mix, i was thoroughly impressed. now i don't know if it was a matter of 'opener inspiration' or just a new page in g&d's book, but their set was unlike any i've heard before. the tl was very beat-ridden in the first hour and void of any of their older remixes, which they used to always throw in at some point. dave was working the mixer a lot more aggressively, josh was playing some tricks on ableton and other than their own tracks such as eleven, dangerous power, enemy, sydney, the rest was a blend of techno, house and progressive. the vocal house tracks didn't come in until towards the very end. the party ended at 2 instead of 3, but in the end it was probably perfect considering it was a monday morning. now the rumor is that last night's set was recorded and if everything goes as planned (ie: licensing for tracks), the set will be published as is as their next mix album toolroom knights vol 2. if not, it should sound very similar. also the andain artist album is forecasted for release this october with an andain tour to follow.
the highlight of my night is getting some pushy asshole who was having the TIME OF HIS LIFE shoving everyone on the dancefloor ejected from the club early in the night. this guy was such a dick that i walked passed him on my way up to the front, and he full on checks me into another guy. i was like dude wtf is your problem!? and he gets in my face. many words were exchanged, but this guy sounded like a total tool and everyone around us was like 'dude let it go that guy is a complete asshole'. so i call him a punk and walk away. he pushes me again as i'm walking away and i turn around and say 'guess what? you're out of here!' and point to the door. i approach a bouncer, point the guy out, and now i have 2 other guys from the crowd behind me who are there corroborating my story and we all watch as he's instantly walked out the back exit. god bless slide security  i guess when he got outside, he hit davet in the face for no reason as i found out later

You dont mess with TAs!
Hands down best set I have seen in days. He had AMAZING track selection mixed with crazy effects and mashups. The set reminded me of Justice at mezzanine!!! G & D finally got on and there tracks where boring compared to petes-I just was not feeling them last night!!!
