From the get go the boyz went hard and dark, dark house, dark electro, dark tech. More like CD2 of One+One. Not really my thing, though Faxing Berlin made my night. There was a track that JZ dropped midway through his 1am-2am set. Had a vocal and it was very atmospheric/trancey. Need to find out what it was because it’s sweet as.
I left at 2am because getting rammed inside Laundry was just too much for me by then.
Nic usually is the quieter one out of the two, so it’s no surprise that JZ stole the show. It’s his hair, and that wookie t-shirt - just can’t be beaten. His scratching, looping and FX were off the hook! Lots of energy from both DJ’s (especially Zabs), it’s so great to see the DJs absolutely loving it.
Wonder if they dropped Human or Rover… hmm…
Funniest moments - seeing that Rod Steward look-a-like standing beside me, and some other guy doing the Bang Gang. I think those guys got lost on the way to Kink lol.
Anyone going to WLS are in for a treat, I think out in a festival vibe (where it’s not a friggen oven) it’ll be much more enjoyable. Rumour has it they might be performing at the WLS after party #2 also.
