The house rig is a Nexo Alpha, one of top systems available (not FK1, but just as expensive). The delay stacks were muffled compared to the main stacks. The house engineer must be a donut. When Hawtin was on, it sounded best up at the front, tons of bass and power and crisp enough to these old ears.
You cant blame Lost for the bar. They have no control over the beers or the prices. That's the SE1 for you. Go to one of the Psy or DnB events there and it is even worse.

There simply is no large scale venues in London that have the pre-requisites that a club night the size of Lost (1200+) requires.

Max Duley played an excellent set early on, Plaid were patchy, Bicky uninspiring.

You either like Hawin or not, you pays your money (£16), you takes your choice.

I've been going to Lost since the very first one at the Vox and it definately has changed, but then so has techno, but it is always a decent party.
