i though the c/f would have sum sort of parking - ill go in airs car park. Ive walked down them side streets at night after college - not a nice place to be after dark.

The jam was great - did think much to the custard factory - thought it would be much bigger.

Fenton played a great set and so did may.

Mr finke played a blinder too along with miss bass - she warmed the place up really well, they were laping it up a treat.

sadly i missed speedy j - i was too busy spreading the word about liquid techno on the 25th march at the canal club - i was surprised on the amount of people that already knew. was great.

first time been to custard factory that.
though it was a bit on the small side myself, and also a bit too clean and shiny for atomic jam!

had a good night though, from what i can remember :eh:

it looked more like a posh funky bar than a club.

did like the waterfall and pond outside tho

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.

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.

Was a quality night but not one of the better ones, like the med bar but not for atomic jam. Miss Bass you warmed up perfectly, quality tunes.

Derrick May was good, built up nicely, melodic, funky but still tough. Personally thought Speedy J was quality, set of the night though for me was Fenton, last few times ive seen him he hasnt been that great but played a quality set on saturday, Finke aswell.

Dont think there will be one in brum now untill the birthday ?

Enjoyed your set Miss Bass, well done! Especially seeing as the mixer was nearly shoulder height! :lol:

I liked May's set. Still full of enthusiasum behind the decks after all these years. Left after half hour of Speedy J, not cus i didn't like it but because i was off to Crufts Sunday and i needed some sleep. What was live about his set though? Looked like he was just mixing to me.

Liked that Micronauts tune he played. Sir Real's been playin that a lot recently.

My only moan is about how cramped it got at times but i suppose it's better than having hardly anyone turn up.

I hear the Sanctuary's re-opening in the next month, maybe a move back there is on the cards.

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.

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.

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

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
