i found this with google)) seems to be adecvate http://ilx.wh3rd.net/thread.php?msgid=4240828 .. it goes like: .. picking up in the middle, mayer was straight banging for like an hour or so: hard techno, electro, shuffle, some old house...i don't think he dropped a full vocal track until 45 mins before his set ended. at about the half-way mark for mayer we wandered over to the rephelx room to see soundmurderer, who's set unfortunately only felt about 30 mins long. but the vibe was HEAVY: mixed-race, mixed-gender, small room, chest-caving bass, more than an erm whiff of herb. mark one/plasticman were also good, but they went on too long, i think. have to admit the dubsteppy stuff sounded great over a big system, and when they dropped "shox wave" (i think) it made my knees quake. still, probably the closest i'll ever get to an eski-rave (minus the rapping of course), though a bit too "smooth" (mixed on a laptop). ::::on the other hand::: I had a good night (Mayer and Plasticman were highlights), but I thought the vibe was kind of thin. Way too many people were just standing around while great dance music was being played and the sound in the Rephlex room was patchy. I'd like to see Mayer do his thing in front of a crowd that isn't afraid to be seen having fun (how were so many able to resist that bass?). :and so on::: __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
