Anyone off to see Carola at Sankeys tonight?
Should be good as their sound system rocks!!!
Im there ! Carola is one of the best
totally forgot about this :doh:
possibility... really dont like missing stuff like this... its rude not to go :lol:
really wanted to goto this but it looks like ill be working.....gutted as carola is indeed not to be missed.
one of the best djs in techno without a doubt. be shit loads of minimal goin down tonight.
Just got back from Sankeys (and no I'm not completly wasted before you ask!!). lol: A top night was had by all.
The resident (kyspo I think) did his usual job of using crisp 4/4 numbers to build the groove.
Next up was Micael de Hay who turned the heat up with some superb techno. Seemed like a nice guy to0.
Finaly carola came on at 3am and was simply amazing - possibly the best I've seen him fora few years. He was playig on 2 decks (final scratch) a CDJ100 (or maybe even 2 of these) and cycloops. He played quite hard all the way through and kept a perfect groove going using his fantastic EQ'ing and precision beat matching. Although on a few occasions his tunes did start to drift out, he never panicked or nudged the records, he just used the pich controller to bring them back).
He definatley sounded a lot dfferent to his previous sets, and maybe you're right when you mentioned the new DOMINO stuff and him changing (and I think evolving). Problem is we never get our hands on his new weaponary for months aftewards.
I think carola is probably one of the best "3 deck" DJs out there - He has amazing ability to play bits of records togther and make them sound much better than the sum of their parts. His 3 deck mixing very subtle and not in yor face or sloppy like some others.
My only (minor) gripe of the night was that he played from 3am-6am. Why not stick a resident back on for the last hour? Or mabybe even me!!!
:lol:
gutted now...didnt realise michael de hey was on too :cry:
the ressie is krysko btw ;)
I'd just like to add that Sankey's is the only place I've been to in the UK that come close to Orbit. The sound system is superb, the crowds are fantastic and the upstairs chillout room is great too!
And it works in their favour if they have an electic music policy rather than sticking to the usual supsects.
Cool.
i agree mate..
loads on here will slag it off though..
saturdays are a different story altogether though :dontevengothere:
I had a totally different experience everytime i deal with Tribal in one form or another.
Guaranteed the time I went to sankeys it was Jeff Mills, but it was overcrowded, exceptionally hot and cramped. The crowd were completely clueless and seemed to just be poncing about the place trying to look cool.
They do have a good mixture of djs on there, some quality names from techno/house etc, but its just not the sort of place I like to go. Much prefer the much more relaxed atmosphere and venue of Voodoo.
now thats rather a bold statement indeed....doesnt even come close to the orbit!!totally different experience :cool:Quote:

sorry but sankeys aint all that. it's not a patch on orbit for venue, music or crowd. good system maybe but not much else going for it from my experiences.Quote:

ffs. :dontevengothere:
he obviously had a good night last night.. i have had many on a friday night there too. great soundsystem and not full of mullets like it is on a saturday.
can't somone enjoy a place without the approval of the techno police?
ok it hardly underground or groundbreaking but thats not always whats needed you know. i bet half the club promotors on this forum would kill to have some of the bookings tribal have had in the last year
jesus :dontevengothere:
i'd have liked to hear De Hey play, never heard him before but like alot of his material.
well gutted i couldn't go last night! was watching my mates leave to go to it too! which was even worse! shit bein skint! :evil:
been hearing carola was proper on form last night.
rolling the minimal and tougher stuff out,quality flowing set.
gutted now.
Well I had a great time, and the crowd filled the club and provided a great atmosphere and really enjoyed Marco's set. I'm sorry if you don't feel this way but you weren't there were you?Quote:

glad you enjoyed it chris, you'll always have a good night with carola but go there another night when it's some dodgy mullet house dj on and then make your orbit comparisons. different league.
who else did you see there? one of the "usual suspects" i bet. ;) :lol:
Carola was the dogs b's , Michel de hey was really good aswell , my only beef with Carola was that he could of gone a bit harder towards the end but he stayed on 1 level really. Not complaining like, just a minor rant ! all in all a really good night
God - dare I say it but I went to see Sasha!!!!! :oops: :oops:Quote:

The venue is soooo important when it comes to a club night - look at the orbit. And then there was the music factory & basics back in the early 90's - I spent hours just wandering around the 3 floors and tripping over people on the stairs - great times!!
