Glasgow dj's have a horrible habit of being bad opening acts imo as they always tend to go for the glory.. Having said that we do have a couple of the best resident dj's i've seen who do sub culture (harri and domenic). Outside that I've yet to see a good warm up set apart from the night I get to play at now as the other two residents who i share with are superb (alan belshaw and paul ingram - both great dj's and good friends - that sounds slightly biased but they really know their stuff).
I visited cocoon frankfurt before I started dj'ing in clubs and it was a total education on how a night should go. I went for dinner with friends first of all around about 8pm to the cocoon restaurant, the club and restaurant had a few people and it and it slowly filled up to ambient music being played. People came in got drinks sat around and socialised, by the time the opener came on (toni rios) there was a nice crowd in and the dance floor filled up fairly quickly there after - he played for around 2 hours then handed over to hawtin who preceeded to destroy the place for 6-7 hours, at 7 in the morning just as we thought it was coming to an end rios came back on and brought it right back down again into some great mellow feel good house stuff. By that time I was fucked and decided to call it a night as did the rest of our crew.. The place was still half full when we left and the party continued...
That imo is the perfect night of clubbing and the best one I've ever had to this day. Sadly with the draconian licensing laws the glasgow city council employ (clubs close at 3pm) it will never be the same in this (un)fair city so there isn't really a great deal of scope for me as a warm up dj as I usually get an hour max..
