AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! That was so good. It's an absolute shame the club
wasn't pack to the rims... but that's surely the best electro/nuskool
breaks DJ set I've ever, ever witnessed. Everything adhered that general
electro beat -- somewhere between J.J. Fad's "Supersonic" and the Munich
mix of ABC's "Be Near Me" -- but far more warped, amplified, and sick
sounding -- and there was endless variety surrounding that beat for the
2.5 hour set. (Nice little alterations of Outkast and ESG thrown in for
good measure) Kudos to I-Spy for having a nice sound system.
Also worth mentioning were the local openers, Smile vs. Subconscious....
they slammed it down nice as well. I'll definitely keep tabs on their
future appearances.
Again, I appreciate finally living in a city where breaks is at
least somewhat respected. The concept of Simply Jeff fanatics seemed
alien to me until last night. Q (uberzone) and Simply Jeff are completely
underappreciated in their native southern California -- where candy trance
is still the leader of the roost, and the club scene is severely
handicapped.
I'll be trekkin' to Graceland this Sat. for Mouse on Mars.. Hopefully it
won't be too empty, given that Radiohead/Beta Band are playing the same
night.
