Yes he did. Droog played a pretty funky opening set, a lot more upbeat than I'm used to hearing from them in the mainroom. Lots of lost housey vocals and a nice subtle groove throughout their 2 hour set. Followed by a rather surprising live set from Damian Lazarus. After hearing bits of his album I wasn't sure how it would all translate into a full on live show at a club, most of it is pretty downtempo. But apparently [a]ppendics.shuffle assisted Damian with remixing some of his tracks specifically for a live show and the result was an absolute techno monster of a set chock full of creepy live vocals from Damian and Taxi Taxi. Words can't really express what his live show was like, you'll just have to wait for the pictures :D
Nico got on around 1.30am-2am and absolutely ROCKED the place. House, funky techno, some classics thrown in for good measure. A rock solid 2 hour set. I think he finished around 3 or 3.30, then it was time for the 6 deck 3x3 whatever the hell it was but by then I was exhausted and had to be at work early this morning. It sounded like it had potential :p |

My thoughts exactly - I honestly was least stoked for Nic, but he earned a 10/10 with an amazing 2 hours - had that place eating out of his hands.
Lazarus... SO glad I got to see that - with the production of the club - the super sick visual work, the dancing animal people were all rad.. then the set.. my my my - I InG loved it!!! huge beats to fill his unique tracks , and the vocals were all on point - 10/10
I felt the 3x6 set kinda got stale - a lot of similar chunks of music - an not sure if the laptop was laggin, but I highly doubt all 3 of them would screw up in the same manner - there were a few glitches that tossed a mix off here and there, but they quickly recoverd . .still fun. 7/10
Clovis: was good to meet you again - i chilled in honey for a few to hear you play and you got us all moving nicely -good !
Awesome night! |

| Had a lot of fun last Saturday. Nic's set was the best, in my opinion, although I only heard the tail end of Damian's performance. The ending with the three different DJ's didn't work out quite as well as everyone expected, it seems. |

Matt Dear played his Audion track "look at the moon" around 4 something am and I went crazy.
Damian dropped Arcenciel which also sounded awesome in the big room.
Best night at avalon in a while. |

I got in around 11ish and droog was blending Ekkohaus - Unsound ( original mix ) with Martinez - blue lagoon ( original mix ) I dont know which of the 3 did that but it got me on the dance floor in a sec :p
Lazarus was awesome but after 40 minutes of constant vocals it became somehow repetitive still good to hear... , I prefer the Lazo dj more than the live one.
Nic was great ;) didn't hear his whole set because i was going back and forth from the main room to the honeylounge , really liked some of the stuff luke solomon played
The highlight of the night was def , Phillip + mathew and lazo. tune after tune , very high melodic and deep tech house , some banging tracks with african vocals that phillip dropped just made my night.
I give this night 2 big thumbs up ,very glad to see that everytime I come back to l.a. the techno scene just keeps getting better and better . :) |
