awesome is right. fortier played the entire spectrum over 4 hours: deep prog, tech, breaks, chunky house basslines, electro. Topped it off with prog-trancey Sarah McLachlan remix (NFI what track) and a killer :toothless mix of The Killers - Mr Brightside. Didn't lose the dancefloor once, and finished a night of dark, brooding tunes with soaring melodies.
For those of you who haven't been, Banana Alley is one of this city's finest venues, and it suited this night down to a T. Nice size crowd, plenty of room to dance, very friendly folks and good company to boot!
Cheers to the TAs I hung out with:

It was night of progressive like no other I have heard in Melbourne. Fortier managed to mix it up for the whole 4 hours, and did not really lose the crowd once. Unlike a lot of other prog DJs who tend to play the same style of through the whole of their set, he was able to change the tempo, the groove and style of his set after every 2 to 3 tracks, which made his 4 hour set a whole lot more fun to dance to for the whole duration.
His set had a strong Detroit minimilistic techno flavour, which we don't get to see a lot of here in Australia, but is something that could definately grow on me.
Was not sure whether it was his fault or whether it was the equipment that ed up when there was a major train wreck at the beginning of his set but find it particularly funny each time, how DJs have to make an effort to always look puzzled, fumblimg around looking at the equipment, just in an attempt to emphasise to the crowd that it was an equipment malfunction, instead of their own fault. Makes me feel reassured each time, that a trainwreck can happen to the best of us, when it can happen to someone of the ilk of Fortier.
On the whole it was a jolly good night for my first Private Function, and will definately not be my last. One of the better educated crowds I have seen out in a long while as well. Hope to see more of you at the next one. |
