The second half of my warm up set from IllumiNaughty: Welcome to our Birthday 7th Party. I played 10:00 - 12:00 and this set starts from when I began to get an audience in front of me.

Tracklist:
1. Cosmithex - Stone Cold
2. Aladiah vs. Signs - Crystal Alchemy
3. 00.db - Luma
4. Aladiah - Cosmic Area
5. Invisible Reality - Visibility (Sunstryk remix)
6. Solar Fields - Black Arrow
7. Jirah - The Visitor
8. Liquid Soul - Devotion (Lyctum remix)
9. Ace Venture - Exposed (Liquid Soul remix)
10. Perfect Stranger - Ode Au Sol (Liquid Soul remix)
11. Rocky - Largetto (Gaudium remix)

It was an awesome night - and with any luck Mr Dave King will also re record his set from the after party, which took the roof clean off

Just for clarity, the night was supposed to start at 10 but they didn't open the doors until 10.50, leaving a massive queue of disgruntled people standing outside. Luckily for Jon one of the DJs in his room dropped out and he got to play for an extra hour, later in the night, rather than getting 10 minutes. I think I was about the fifth person to walk into the main room, just as he mixed in Stone Cold. Not a bad tune to start the night, really.

The soundsystem in the main room was absolutely amazing - really loud and punchy but with clarity on the mids and treble, and you could still hold a conversation without shouting - and you got the full "big room" reverby sound in such a large space. These tracks sounded absolutely amazing in there, perfectly fitted the look and feel of the room, especially when the lights went down just as Jon moves into the darker psy material towards the end.

I thought this was an amazing set on the night, and having listened back this morning it still holds up on the headphones. The flow is really, really good and that transition into Black Arrow is gorgeous. Quite a bold decision to drop that, and it sounded incredible through those speakers. That polyrhythmic mid-section in particular is absolute genius. And to follow it with Jirah - The Visitor was perfect as well.

Cheers for the review Jack - it was a special night for me, and I'm really glad you thought I got the music right

Man, same exact thing happened to me about a year ago, only had 40 minutes to play to a crowd instead of 90 :mad:

Anyways, totally grabbing this Jon. Dave and yourself made that party! Or if Dave played at a different party I have no idea, regardless, you two are some of the godfathers of psy here on TA imo.

I've listened back to this a few times, still as good as on the night!

Absolutely love that Aladiah track, that lead sound is proper "big room"! I remember thinking "this is awesome" at the Academy.

I know you were worried about how to pitch it warming up for more full-on psy but I think you got it absolutely spot on, nice one!

Cheers Dave! Yes I love those Aladia tracks - I almost played his new remix of Devotion too but thought the Lyctum one fitted better at the time

Listened to this a few times now. All I can say is that I wish I was there. :crazy:

I'll be in England starting October though (for 12 months), most likely Leicester, so I'll be able to hop on the train and have some epic UK times with you d00ds. That is, if it's cheap to travel via rail in England.
