I guess I'm back to writing reviews (sorry guys for missing last week's --- I had to do some important ) so here goes.
Living in Manhattan, I'm unused to traveling far to get to my parties, but this trip out to Queens was certainly worth it. Machine is, simply put, an absolutely awesome venue that brings images of a mini-roxy to mind. With a main floor almost the size of the main room at Crobar, this club certainly possesses the potential neccessary for becoming an interesting alternative to the 'standard' club parties in the superclubs of the meatpacking district.
But onto the music! Mark Ian did a fantastic job of opening and demonstrated to all that he was a true power behind the turntables. Unfortunately he was only spinning till around 1, but my dissapointment was soon erased by DJ Eco, who dropped an extremely intense set that was rather eclectic in nature. Starting off with some driving house, he soon dropped 'Say What You Want' and then prompltly went through some tech before finally stopping at some glorious trance. Jayoza finished up with some killer tech and later hard trance that was being cranked out at a 135bps+ rate.
Overall though, i was a good party. The issue of there being a very small turnout was not really an issue, as those that came seemed pretty damned chill. A lot of people that were into the music and that liked the concept of a superclub-type party in Queens showed up, making it a great deal of fun.
That's all for today... need to sleep, but maybe I'll elaborate further tommorow.

Eco, it was a tough decision for me to not hear your set tonight. A friend of mine gave me a couple of your sets and I love them both. But dude I couldn't face the long trip out to Queens. Yes, weak, I know. But I will come to your next party!

it was nice chillin wit Marcello , Gmoney , Dj A.K. (ur crazy man) thanks for the laughs & vodka w/cranberry. Thanks to all the flushing local's who came back for more insanity from last week, as well as eco's friends for making it a fun night.
As the BPM going upward to 143 bpm i dnt know how it got there, probably after the "Silence Acapella" i was pretty drunk at the moment and was not watching the pitch control on the CDJ sorry for giving anyone a heardattack haha !

i think you read the meter wrong, the highest bpm a tune i played on the master was 143 but you cant always trust those meters on the cdj's its best to do it by ear ! If i went to 148 bpms i think i would of spazzed and gotten a seizure cause thats way too fast for me..
DJ Eco
nah ill tell u the truth man, u were up there, near 147/148 hahahaha i couldnt belive it
DJ Eco
