i thought the system was fair decent early on when we went the HOG the other week but towards the end it went a bit crap for some reason.

cant wait for the summer when they empty that pool out ,thats one fukin rave once they get the marque goin again!! :twisted:

Like a mini outdoor festival,works really well and theres loads of bits outside to gurn about in.

If they were using a 600 mixer which was loaded with red lights all night then that's your answer. It's a good mixer but if it's battered to the extreme then the sound quality does falter after a few hours abuse.

it was very small venue, but better than nothing. had a great time.

hahaha the Sanctuary is still open, it has some hard house night on every other week. There is no new sound system, just the old one getting even worse. no new lights no new layout. if anything its actually in a poorer state of affairs than it ever was. The people that own the Sanctuary are trying to sell it, THEY WILL NOT SPEND ANY MONEY ON IT. They own clubs in coventry too, all they have done is swap the crap stuff from coventry and put it in the sanctuary. forget about the sanctuary for now. Until these things have been addressed I can't see any night other than HH nights doing anything there.

i cant stand the place any more. the sound system is the biggest pile of rumbly plastic shite. there is majorly insufficient seating and space, and some of the bar staff need to get over themselves.

may was fairly interesting, good ass shaking rhythm patterns, but went on a bit. speedy j was very dull (please do your old stuff, its SO MUCH BETTER!!) it was all 2beat loops, hiss and kicks and the only trick he used was delay at the end of each bar. didnt see fenton or finke as we left cos of boredom.
miss bass did a PERFECT job of warm up and played the most interesting set i've heard at the jam ever. exactly what i wanted to be listening to, not very 'jam' at all really.

yeah, not boredom at the night, but the people we where with seemd bored of the venue and the squishedness. never mind hey, better luck next time


well i didnt want to leave, and definately didnt want to leave because of Chris or Ade being boring (as i never got chance to hear them), least i know for next time not to take winging friends ;) ;)

As for Speedy, some lovely wonky riffs and patterns to begin with, then yeh, did go kinda bang bang, but still could have jumped around more if i wasnt so prone to being knocked over because im such a midget. lol Did anyone actually see me behind that mixer?? haha

Derrick played some nice nice beats with lovely melodies, did get slightly one level but still enjoyed it.

:rambo:

i didnt mind the squishdness or the venue... had an enjoyable time :)

surprised dave siad to you he'd have stayed. all's he was expressing when we where stood by the bar was his revulsion for the sort of techno that goes thud thud all night. hmmmm
