We were at split with our crew on saturday and it was an excellent well thought out night. Upstairs you had the "Essex Rascals" playing old classics from the last 20 years or so, it was a pleasure to watch the dj's having a fun time playing tunes that they love, Mr Sims scratching over various tunes was the highlite of the night for us, well worth experiencing.
Downstairs Chris Finke played one of his best sets ever which set things up nicely for Franki/Dj3000 who then got everyone dancing without having to resort to playing hours of monotonous bang bang techno, his set was full of grooving tunes and it was a pleasure to watch someone bring something a little different to the london club scene along with Suburban night who also played some wicked tunes.
Both dj's stayed in the club after their dj sets and ended up talking to many people until the early hours, nice to see top dj's not just taking the money and disapearing back to their hotel rooms, they looked more than happy to be playing at Split and hopefully they will return again soon.
As for the occasional slip ups on the mixing.......we know on good authority that one of the decks had a problem with the pitch control, this caused Franki a few problems as he had to hold the pitch control during much of his set to stop it slipping.
Technasia then gave everyone a monsterous dancefloor workout by increasing the tempo and banging it up to a frenzied finish, i can still feel the ringing in my ears.........
Big thanks should also go out to Chris Finke and Ben Sims for constantly doing their best to bring the best people to london to play in their clubs. There is not a lot of money in club nights at the moment but they consistantly bring top dj's to entertain us and they work harder than ever to bring something special to London when so many other clubs seem to only want to bring the same ol boring people to London to make easy money.
Tell all your friends and spread the word and support Ben and Chris because without them London clubbing would not be the same!
