Capped off a wonderful Sat with my first visit to the footwork.
I like the venue. Nice and intimate. That spacey feeling created by the usage of lights and strobelights are good, but kinda gets annoying after a while if you keep staring at it. If it was used less, it would be much better.
Sound could have been louder... Damn you city by law cops!
Got in around 10:30 and grabbed a corner to just groove to Jeff's set. Well done sir! Nice perfect warmup. It could have used a bit more variety in the middle in terms of style, and programming did get a bit random towards the end but yeah, migraines suck dude. Good warmup prog
Jon Jon hit the decks as the place started to fill in and started off with slammer of an opening tune. Good tracklist, but programming was random. No real flow and energy level fluctuated as a result. I danced my ass off though. Tunes were that good. <3 tribalish tunes with funky vocals.
Sean Crawford was next and he played some remix of Daft Punk - Harder Faster I think. Wicked tune. He brought the level down to some dark and chuggy prog and I loved it. Had a seat on the side and bobbed my head to some proper prog.
Matt Coleridge brought the energy level down even further with some tech house. Didn't feel that at all. He gradually did try to bring the energy level up but he lost me. By that time it was like 2:30 so I bailed out.
Random thoughts
-Did anyone take pictures?
-Sean Crawford = FUBAR. Gotta love sloppy drunks. For some reason some people spin better drunk than sober though
-It's wonderful to see TAs. I gotta get to Toronto more often.
-Is it me, or is the entrance to Footwork kinda hard?
-I can only imagine how rammed this place is going to be for Liebing, and boy it was hot in there last night!
-Marg's top = teh win
-Despite what my t shirt said, I don't do shrooms :p
Overall: 8.5/10
Tune of the Night: Pryda - Armed |

I had an amazing time last night
I got their a little late, 1:30 which was extrremely unfortunate because all week i was pumped to hear Jeff's Set, damn drama.
It was actually my first time @ FW on a saturday, and i wasn't dissapointed at all. It as nicely packed by the time i got in, and the crowd was VERY friendly and outgoing.
Matt Coleridge was really good,and if im not mistaken, didnt Jeff and Jon play a couple tracks again at about 3:30ish??
Anywayz. i had a complete blast last night, the crowd was bumpin and the beatz were blastin. Awsome JOb everypne that was involved. I'll throw the pics up soon!! |

it was great seeing so many faces i hadn't seen in some time - unfortunately, my migraine took over the night for me and i felt like a ing zombie all night. even though i was feeling like , i still managed to have a great time. jon played a great set, and the show crawford debauchery was classic (as was the random dude passed out in the dj booth, and the random people coming into the booth looking for coats/sweaters. lol)
and matt - yes, at 3:00am i came back on and dropped two tracks - then jon did the same, but i had to bounce. sorry i didn't say goodbye to many of you, the pain was intense and i had to bail.
hope everyone has a blast tonight, wherever you end up! |

An absolute blast last night...
Summer has truly begun. Big smiles, great friends, tunes!!!
- no coat check in May = le ghey
- Jeff rocked. My favorite time seeing him. He has a very unique sound that im starting to really enjoy. Sorry about the headache friend, you were fab regardless.
- Jon! to cap off my Jon Jon double header weekend he played a set that had me going nonstop the entire time. I know that typically he plays more upbeat bopping/disco/latin/vocals but last night he got DIRTY. Especially towards the end. The mix of it all was perfect, at least for me. I was in heaven. Great job Jon.
- I greatly enjoyed Sean's set aswell- so talented, programming is always right on, track selection is very well thought out and appropriate. He knows what the room wants.
Great night, well done boys xo
ps. ending the night with the girls with our hands in the air and singing at the top of my lungs = priceless |

I thought Jon's set was great, actually. I only caught the tail end of Jeff's (downtown traffic :mad: ), but from what I heard he was laying it down proper. Neither of the "headliners" really did it for me, I'm sorry to say.
Anyway, was great to see the two of you spin and to see so many people that I haven't gotten to speak to in ages. Glad I went, thanks for the first-rate party, and happy birthday again to all 38 people who were celebrating!
P.S. Oh, and yes, the entrace to Footwork really is retarded - I've only been there once before so it took me 10 minutes to find it, for a while I thought nobody was working the door. Couldn't they at least put an arrow on the main doors or a sign saying go around the side?
P.P.S. I'm definitely glad the sound wasn't louder - I think maybe you're going deaf, Yohan. |

You know what, I'd concur. Jeff was really tight, he's really carved his sound well. |

Jeff may be tight, but he is the worst DJ on the planet.
(kidding, of course) :eek: |

I wasn't even going to go at first, but I'm glad I did.
Unfortunately I mnissed Jeff's set, and I've only heard Jon spin a handful of times, but I would defeinitely say it was one of my favorite times hearing him. As Hil said...it was just dirty.
Jon - do you have a tracklist by any chance? Or remember the last or second last song you played? I wish I could sing it to you right now haha b/c I don't really know how to explain it. It kinda had a rolling base line. |
