doesnt even come close to the memories experienced in places like Voodoo, Orbit etc, its a prog/tribal house night trying to branch into techno for a night every now and then, and ive been to enough of them unfortunately... the one stand out night il hold up my hands and say i loved was the Clarkism 2 night, 4 hour set of house and techno from DC, that was **** awesome
I hear ya, it aint a proper techno night, and I personally think Tribal are more or less scum, but I have to give it to them, two of the best nights I've had were at Tribal Sessions - the time Jeff Mills played there, about 4 years ago probably, that was absolutely top, one of the best sets I've heard from the main man, and then Derrick May played there about a year later, and once again, one of the best sets I've heard from him as well. And part of what made both those nights ace was the crowd, which was absoutely heaving, totally loving it. So while I think Tribal are scum, they do pull a good crowd, and get the best out of their DJ's, and that demands some amount of respect. Also, I wasnt actually at this one, but the Richie Hawtin Essential Mix from 2001 (september I think) was recorded at Sankeys, on a thursday night, and once again, what a set, and just from the recording you can tell the crowd were going berzerk.
