Easily. Without a doubt set of the year that I attended and downloaded this year. This set just solidified the number 1 spot Burridge has in my mind, and it's great to finally see him get the recognition he deserves. I dont' think I've ever seen this many positive reviews on a Burridge set on TOTA.
As for [email protected] doubt I wanna go, now that I've seen the whole lineup. TiL isn't a club for him, the crowd and vibe just won't go with his sound, same goes for the other DJ's playing that night.
For those of considering it, I say wait for him to comeback to Footwork. |

what is wrong with the opening djs at TIL? the reason why manzone&strong open for many of the headliners is because manzone&strong are, in fact, the residents at this is london. does mark oliver open for pretty much all headliners in the guv? yes.
now, if you say its because of the style that manzone&strong play then its because you only have seen them play at one (or two) venues. i have seen joe and fab play in a million different places. sure, most of the time they get booked to play what they are known for but thats not the only way they know how to play.
take the loco dice event for example. people had their doubts about m&s opening for loco. joe's style for the opening set was a dramatic change from his usual. loco dice was dancing up a storm during joe's set and even thanked joe for an amazing set. a perfect example to the versatility of manzone&strong's sound would have to be last night at republik. there was a chinese singer from hong kong performing and the organizers requested to have m&s play at the event. that had to be the first time that i heard m&s play techno and happy hardcore. prior to the stage performance, nobody was dancing. it didnt take long for m&s to figure out what the crowd wanted and thats what they delivered all night long.
dont knock them until you have seen them play in enough different events and know what they are capable of. |

Mazone and Wrong opening for Misstress Barbara while Greg Gow gets the shaft is pretty ridiculous.
Chinamon, Talal and Jose have a very very long list of "resident" DJs just as they do at guv and had at system, which they pick and choose from based on the headlining DJ. I can't remember a time when Greg Gow did not open or close for Barbara. That's half the reason I'm not going - odds are, I'm going to hear more of the opening act anyways since I can't make it a late night on Friday.
edit: Not only that, but people like myself like to see some of Toronto's better known techno DJs get some recognition by being one of the few TECHNO DJs in the city that gets booked within the guvernment circle. When Greg Gow gets passed off for M&S to open for someone like Barbara, it's disappointing. Sure they are versatile DJs, but that is the point...they aren't techno DJs. |
