I decided to come out after some very light arm twisting by smunky, I wanted to go out, just needed a push. In 7 years of going to the Guv, I had never been to a MO solo night, so I decided, it was about damned time.
Guestlist was barely moving, hell neither was the other line, which was a surprise with Guv's attendance lately, but i stuck it out. Good job Guv on the food for charity, but if you are going to do something like this, don't end the charity part at midnight. I was a bit annoyed that I had to pay cover, when we were told it was going to be free.
Highlight of the night was definitely all the fantastic people out last night, old and new. Saw some of my fav old schoolers, all of whom had the same look on their faces 'wtf is going on, and who are all these people?". LOL. In the end, everybody, new, old, TA's, regular Guvers, all partied together, the way it is supposed to happen. Amazing vibe, which helped create a real party atmosphere. Top notch.
MO impressed me on Saturday night, first time ever. The way he played old tunes, with new remixes, and some old was fantastic. He also kept the newer clean, twichy sound that has infiltrated house/tech/trance, in order to keep the night fresh, and not just like a copy of Clubber's Guide to Trance. So, it was great hearing loads of oldies, with the modern vibe. His mixing was great, although sometimes it sounded a bit forced, or obvious, usually when he lowered the pitch to slow down the crowd. I wasn't too fond of the last two hours, as I have heard most of those tracks just too many times. I understand that is what the crowd wanted, and he gave it to them, no faults there.
The Guv was very nicely decorated, the crowd was awesome, it never got to hot (barely broke out the towel), and the sound was clean. I've only heard the guv speakers sound like that on a few occasions, only usually only when an int comes in to tweak it them selves. Nice highs, balanced lows, and good volume.
