In brief-
John E was supposed to play an old school set. I was at this party a few years ago, & was expecting an awesome set just like he played at that one- music from the pre-breakbeat days, full of piano riffs. All I heard was crap house. Is Shakedown's "At Night" considered 'old school' already? Enjoyed the Merry Pranksters room much more at this point.

Anne Savage gets on & tears it up. Relentless UK Hard House from beginning to end- a complete jolt to the system after that opening act. A lot of people started to leave- not sure if it was the drinking crowd leaving (as I don't attend Sat. nites there normally), or if people didn't care for her style, but now there was more dancing room for the rest of us. Played a 2-hr set, and poof! She was done. Then Chris Avila follows her with some prog. house tunes. A complete buzzkill after Anne's set.

The promoters didn't have a good pairing of compatible DJ's, and I felt cheated out of the old school set I'd been waiting 2.5 years to hear, but 10/10 for Anne Savage.

I though the night was pretty good. VIP was realy good, they had the bass hitting really hard and the music was good. I agree about the main room though, it seemed to empty out a little early (guess everyone was worn out from Friday - which I missed ).

I had a good night though, so no complaints.

Cheers,

I think that room emptied out cuz the music was too hard for them. They're used to house on Sat. nites. I highly doubt many people there that night were at Mauro the night before. I spotted 1 friend. Most people with common sense stayed in and slept, unlike me (but I don't regret it). Those who knew me were shocked to see I was out for more on Sat nite.

I think you're right. I saw alot of regulars there on Sat. But I met a few who went to both nights.

Either way, I had a good night. I ran into a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a while. The cold weather always brings them in
