Yeah, ho was top.
Spirit were ok, 2 man PA doing the Job of a one man PA in my opinion.
2 guys standing about with not enough to do.
Bicknell sucked.
Really really sucked.
Boring tunes, played end to end (and badly at that) like a really bas trance DJ.

Mills was on top form. I was straight bar some tequila, and noticed a few little slips here and there, but it wasn`t wreck after wreck.

He was on form. Very very clever mixing, really inventive choice of tunes that complimented each other as he built up these fantastic melodies out of various tunes. controlled the dancefloor well, paced well, really banged when it needed to, took it really minimal when needed. It was great. I`ve seen him at his best and at his worst, and this was a good night. The shear amount of vinyl he got through is phenominal considering there were no huge leaps in style that made you fall over, yet the variety was there.
Lots of tunes with complex polyrhythmic elements that must of been hectic to mix on 3 decks, but works so well.
No silly tricks, just very very good, rapid tune selection, mixed exactly when they needed to be (with a few slip ups).
I was always in 2 miinds about mills, but I think I`ve developed respect for the man.

He is a valuable champion for techno and isn`t afraid of taking risks in the mix, and doesn`t compromise.
So fair play to the man, he deserves what he`s got.

Just wish for once
JUST ONCE
JUST ****ING ONCE.
he would do a set without playing the bells.


Soundsystem was a bit wack.
Heavily limited, and the sound guy still had to keep running to the decks and hassling the DJ`s. Bottom end seemed poorly EQ`d and bad crossover points, as the kicks weren`t really getting through properly.
Mid range was a bit muddy too.

It was a decent rig, and there was enough of it, and you may say I am being picky.
But for 16.50 a ticket, I expect a damn good soundsystem, being run properly. We could supply an amazing rig run properly for probably half the money that lost paid for theirs, so there is no excuse.
Where is the money going?

Dub room was poo. How can you play dub on what were essentially booth monitors?
It`s Dub.
Without the bass, it`s pointless.

So overall.

Good Venue.
Loads of proper techno lovers (it is londons biggest techno party)
Average but large soundsystem, crap dub soundsystem
Mostly good DJ`s and music.
Poor lightshow.
Overall a good night, that would be miles better without Bicknell. (who unfortunately runs lost).
