| Just got home how, I was there for a couple hours and to be honest I didn't think it would've been my cup of tea along with a sore back from shoveling the day before. But amazingly I was really impressed with D.A.V.E. the drummer, his style of techno is really awesome and kept me going for a while lol. I wish I could have stayed longer but meh. It was great seeing a bunch of people out! Knox, Cribby, Swift, Veronica, Justin, Andrew (briefly lol), Stefan, Sarah, etc! Nice meeting you too Graham! Bed time now. Good night! |

*zero* energy in the main room anytime I ventured in. Carter and Honey were 'ok', but granted I didn't hear too much of their sets. so many people seemed to just be standing around.
OS2 played some classics in the back early on...but the breaks room *completely* made the night for me and I had a blast back there. Big League Chu and Dave Saddler were f'n great. what an awesome little room for a party!
Liam... nice to have a fellow breaks fan to hang with for much of the night. good times! :) Alex...cool to see you after so long, but you deprived the room by not being on the dance floor, lol.
Docks is such a great venue...flawless in terms of lineup, bars, washrooms, coat check, etc. |

Well, it really was a shame that D.A.V.E, Scummy and Stone played to a grand total of 100 people through the course of the night. Their music was more my cup of tea than the chuggy Chicago House for most of the night, but it's hard to get into a proper dancing mood when things are so sparse.
Honey finished the night well, but teased us with Boney M's Rasputin, and never delivered. I swear it was that track.
More later. |

sadly, i didn't get to attend last night...working late plus, not so great road conditions and the fear of worse conditions early sunday, kept me away..:(

things i didnt expect
a) Such a poor turnout
b) Derrick Carter not pleasing at all
c) Honey Dijon being better than Carter
d) a very drone vibe
things that were good
a) was able to retreat for some awesome breaks while Carter bored the main room
b) finally meeting MarkT
c) Having a good time overall despite the previous 4 points |

I think the weather was a major contributing factor this weekend... |

The weather was such a downer last night. The drive up to TO was not fun. Starting in Burlington, it got crappy. Then the drive back was a nightmare...ended up taking a room in sauga as the road was fully white and thick.....
The docks, as usual has a slow coat check, but not as much as a cluster as the last time I was there 2 years ago. Using groovetickets for my tix turned out to be a giant pain in the ass, their reader would not read the barcode..so i was stuck at the entrance for 15-20 mins till they get the manager or sumthin
dave the drummer started slow and played house...and then moved to HARD techno, which I quite enjoyed. He got me in the groove for the evening
Carter was the highlight for me. always enjoyed his stuff and finally got to see him last night. He rocked me for the most part of his set and slowed down towards the end.
Dijon picked it up well. Now I understand the hype surrounding her. She was really good. However i found there was too many buildups that didnt lead to much.
It was nice for a change to listen to something else to techno n minimal for a night !
Bring those 2 in a more intimate venue and it will be a killer!
Music 9/10
Friends 10/10
Weather 0/10! |
