Once again, I was very pleased with the ELM vibe... Otto was off the hook.
Phoenicia was good, but not as good as I expected... The best thing about
the show was that the majority of the people were dancing their asses off.
Wow, people looked genuinely elated and I couldnt wipe an idiotic grin off
my face... RD finished off the night spinning the best set i've ever heard
him spin.
I hope this trend of just letting go and not giving a shit spreads through
the IDM scene like wildfire. And let me just add to that by saying that guys
who dance, with rhythm or not (its the uninhibited thing) are HOT. ;)
Longreybeam is really good. (So is mintyfresh).
