Wow.
Not only was this guy amazing as far as attitude goes, he also provided one of the best parties of the year - pity he couldn't have played for longer.
Now those of you that know me, know that I adore gritty electro/techno - dark and dirty as can be but I was swayed back into my funky, soulful, sometimes-discoesque happy place by this man.
Played a journey of tracks, some old, new, popular and anthematic ones.
I love this man, this was one great party! |

Oh yes, forgot one MAJOR point....
The clientele and the buzz they provided was jaw-dropping, I never wanted it to end. Smiles from everyone; I will bet there is some faceache this morning! Reminded me of the old days, people there for the music, no pretence, no attitude, no shoving or being rude to anyone - last night was magical for this reason and I, for one, will never forget it and will always hope that I find it again, one day.

I think I've found my new favorite club. After a year of being completely bored with what TO clubs have to offer, I've finally found one I hope to spend more time at. As I said to Mark: "Footwork is the new System", and then a drop of water fell onto me from the pipes above. Yup! The new System!!! :haha: The bouncers and bartenders all seem very friendly too.
What an AWESOME crowd last night, and an even better TA group!! Gay boys were out like mad last night, and not the car wash crew kind (bonus!!). Seriously, our group was the fags and the hags, lol.
Don't remember too much of Jeremy Jive's opener aside from the fact that he played "The Cure and the Cause", and kept us dancing. Kaskade came on shortly after 1, and played a mix of dirty electro house hits (most of which you hear in the Gallery) with a mix of his own ethereal vocal productions, and a smattering of oldies. A great 3.5 hr set.
Only downside: Kaskade's poor choice of attire and lack of hair products. I wanted to run to the nearest store and buy him a sexy shirt and some hair gel. After all, we were there to drool over him too, you know. ;) Despite all that, Jeff manages to get a picture with him that made him look better than he did in person last night.
I'll bet you he knew we were all gonna be fawning over him, so he 'dressed down' to deter us ;) .
Thanks Dallas for the reduced list. |

we owned the dance floor!!! :p I had a blast with all of you.
it is indeed the new System (without the basement ceiling height, lol).
sexy house, a great group of people, a cool space, fantastic staff...it was *perfect*
Kaskade really impressed me. I'm embarassed to say that I had *no idea* who he was until about a month ago. He really worked the crowd and his track selection was flawless. I don't know all of the remixes, but off the top of my head:
Kaskade - Be Still
Kaskade - Everything
Stardust - Music Sounds Better with You (the crowd went nuts!)
Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (what mix?)
Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough (Dirty South mix?)
Pete Heller - Simpler (that he seemlessly mixed into another track with a good 2 minute overlay of the songs...sick)
I'm forgetting way too many...like some of the Gallery type electro stuff, as Nat mentioned...hopefully we can put together a setlist here?
At times, he played some very Lawler-esque tunes...but mostly a lot of sexy sexy non-cheese vocal house that kept us all firmly planted on the dance floor for his whole set.
definitely one of the best nights out in ages. To the folks at Footwork...don't change a thing. |

Hair stylig is a major part of a DJ's abilities, sir, and can add on talent to uber-amateur hour.
Lord knows it's done wonders for BT and DJ Irene....:p
End hijack - Kaskade is great, I want to go to Footwork when I'm in town, and Jon Jon's lack of wavy locks only means he's that much proper of a true DJ. |
