Word. Woke up with a horrible leg cramp this morning.
As usual, that was the most relentless assembly line techno I've heard all year. Speedy J is one evil dude.
Damn, I love techno. |

having seen Speedy J multiple times....i have to say it was my least favorite one. He was good....but didnt sustain a "banana's" state long enough. Got tired early and left at 330 ish. I hope he turned it up later on.
The sounds @ FW was pretty loud. I rarely ever put my plugs there.
Lee Osborne and Jamie Kidd were awesome as usual.
Next stop....Villalobos ;) |

What a party!!!
I'm a sucker for the sound of cymbals and Speedy J definitely knows when to use them to bring the party to the next level.
Such fun baselines!! I could not wipe the smile off my face. |

Truth.
Those basslines were from another planet. They were so heavy and resonating! It was like a huge machine relentlessly punching out metal forms in a humongous steel warehouse. Never letting up, it just kept going and going, and no one could stop it. Total earthquake causing, tectonic plate shifting techno.
Said this last year, and I'll say it again, it felt like the walls were going to blow off at any second. Just when you think it couldn't get any harder, it was like Jochem discovered the knob that pushes footwork's sound system from 10 to 100 in a split second, and unleashed it so strategically at just the right moment.
I love Speedy J, I love techno. Speedy J, you are one evil dude. Please, please, please don't make us wait 14 months again. That's just way too long, and please don't play anywhere else but footwork.
This one is going in the books as my favorite night out at footwork ever, equal only to Speedy J's performance there last year. |

2nd last photo - The girl in the cowboy hat had the nicest tribal tattoo I've ever seen. Most people overdo it I find, but hers had this wild flowing form to it that was so nicely done and elegant.

I can't take all the credit for it, Elendil (Ryan) and I were trading descriptions all night. :)
There was some serious assembly line techno stormers on Saturday. Hi-hats that sounded like pressure release valves, glitchy sounds like compressor motors, infected computer systems on the fritz, chaotic automated malfunctioning spot welding machines inaccurately smashing everything around them causing complete destruction and mayhem, critical system failure warning alarms and strange enigmatic resonant beeps and blips that probably mean something in some foreign robotic language, and that's not even the half!
Techno can be so imaginative. Love it. |

You ever get cramps on the dancefloor? Absolute murder. Dehydration is no joke when your body can't absorb fluids quicker than you're losing it.

Thank you!
And no, actually, I never have, but is that what the cramps are from? I was DD that night and didn't find myself drinking anything at all, even water. |

Dehydration + physical activity. If you watch sports do you notice how athletes get cramps most often in hot and humid conditions? I think it happens when your muscles alternate between active and relaxed states with the precondition that you're dehydrated and lacking electrolytes from sweating. I researched this a long time ago because it was a problem for me and the science is not conclusive, but this is my experience.
It's a in' bitch when you're trying to stetch out the cramp on the dancefloor and you have to sit down to do the head bob instead. :p |
