jeff mills?
dont even need to guess that one.....
i went to see him the last time he played there...didnt really enjoy his set until the last hour when he started playing early 90s house stuff.
is it mills?
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
man.. they really need to sort their shizzle out.. thats just embarressing
Only been there once, after Retro-Verts Boat Party last August Bank Holiday.
Was not that impressed, and as for the mix of seriously dark lighting with a big strobe combined with a seriously HEAVY weekend I didnt find living my life every other second particulary comfortable...................
Was HORRENDOUS!!!!
Lost interest in that one, not wishing to sound like a hater from 4four!!!
I think they are going through the motions.
this text from their website says it all:
Shadow of what it was. Such a shame.Quote:
Francois first played at LOST in 2002 when we paired him with Derrick May, after which they went on to work together as the Cosmic Twins. They stormed the decks at the legendary LOST Lighthouse venue, (the only lighthouse/warehouse in London, which was home to LOST events for a number of years back in the day before the developers moved in, setting the precedent for warehouse parties to follow, this extreme location has not been surpassed r.i.p.)
I don't go out much these days. Although I went to a "run sounds" night not too long back which was really good fun.
Sounds awful but the only night I give two f*cks about these days is my own.
it's actually annoying to see the stagnation of such a great night. It's beyond a joke now really the whole mill's at Lost thing
I don't understand why people hate on Mills so much.
Honestly.
Haterade.
That last comment is not directly aimed at anyone either, so please no backlash.
don't think it is a mills hating thread mate, more about the lack of originality of Lost's line ups. Lost did and still has imo, the potential to put on some top nights but for the serious techno heads its just same old same old.
I'm not complaining tho, i'd love to have a club local that had Mills on every 2 or 3 months where he got to play what the hell he wanted rather than playing what he's known for
yeah it's nothing against mills whatsover Tony mate, it's more a regional and exasperational thing because Lost have fallen into this bizarre almost ritual of having Mill's on at practically everynight they do. To the point where they have alienated alot of their fanbase. Over here, Lost has the honour of being in that bracket of legendary club nights, night's that have truely, truely inspired the techno community over the years, but inevtiably, like alot of the big nights over here, it all seem's to have fallen slightly on the side of nepotism
Mill's is ****ing unreal still, but Lost's lineups however, are not
Hate on mills?
When he`s good, he`s the best.
Other times, weeelllll..... not so good.
Being a big name doesn`t make you excempt from critisism.
Lost can be great, but it`s totally sells itself on mills.
Which is kinda tedious considering the amount of great other peeps in techno.
What makes it more annoying is they have been known to book some cool acts.
The Mavericks
Paul Mac
lots of others.
But they are treated as warm up, and the crowd generally plods about in the bar or whatever, untill mills comes on then the whole gaff fills up before he`s even stuck on a record.
When at times the "warmups" have blown him so far out of the water he`s in the desert making sand castles.
People are odd.
how 65d can be described as warm up material is beyond me. I don't care if Mills is playing after or not :whoops:
remember when we warmed em up at darkside that night at stinkies. they were belting that night weren't they!
steve didnt mean he views them as warmup, but it's fair to say that such amazing artists do get overshadowed when the majority of the crowd literaly are just waiting for the big guy to come on
Well, i'd like to see Mills live. I have seen lots of sets recorded elsewhere which surely isn't the same as being in the place. He's never played in my town as far as i know.
He's done his fair share for techno (and his wallet). Best set i heard of him was:
Jeff Mills aka The Wizard - WJLB Detroit 2-28-01
blew me away. His techno sets/mixing - not so.
With lots of the big names i was rather disapointed when finally seeing them live, Sven Väth for example, DJ Rush *live*, Westbam etc. etc.
Techno can be very pop music, too.
i knew you were talking bollox :briggin: :laughing:Quote:

Mills lived up to his reputation that day. Endless rising mix of peak upon peak for 4 hours, perfect tune choice, mixing was stunning, crowd just lost the plot he was so good. Made his own breakdowns, didn`t over rinse the 909, kept everyone right on the edge for ages and then tipped em over at just the right time.
I was completely straight, so no drugs involved.
It was stunning, then like someone chasing that first ever high, I returned to see him numerous times only to be dissapointed in the extreme.
Mills is the man, and this isn't a dig at Mills
Its just a shame about Lost, because it used to blaze a trail, now its just a bit predictable and stale

On form, no one can touch him.
I can only go by my experience a couple years back when Lost was @The Rocket on Holloway Rd. in London...
The organisational skills on the front line left alot to be desired- it was pretty cold outside, as I remember, and people were left waiting in the wrong queue's and all the bouncers had taken a 'I'm a complete arsehole' tablet or two...:pissed:
Inside I expected to hear nice smooth crisp basslines licking out from a nice posh rig, but whoever was playin when we entered was just rammin' the rig, so I might as well have been listening to some worn out squat party bins...:rupuke:
One red light in the main room... crackin' visuals that is to enhance the mood of a blindin' tune... boring:upset:
The second room was just thrown together as an after thought with a music policy that had absolutely no direction whatsoever...
AND to top it all the bar closed at 2am!!! which is absolutely ridiculous for a gig that finishes at 5-5.30am... couldn't anyone afford a bit more for a later license.. well tight:rumad:
Lost can get Lost as far as I'm concerned...
Putting on a club night is about attention to detail, thinkin of the punter and what may make that persons night a special one to remember... and more importantly one they would like to come back to, with thier friends...
Those who put Lost on do not care about this because of thier size... they dont need to pay attention any more..
Give me Split any time- I might have paid £14 sovs @ The Key but the music was spot on and they gave me a good quality T-shirt as well...:)
Attention to detail...

Took about two days for it to sink in that your name is quite similar to the name of the event... heh hehQuote:

hi this is a slightly retarded question but does anyone know who was playing before jeff mills set that night.. the jazzy orchestra with great hats..anyone? anyone?Quote:

I agree with the stagnation, but i saw mills probably about december last year at lost and i'd never heard anything like what he played that night before... maybe if they talk about the future of techno, they might be barking up the right tree, but immho
