Lost

[dirty_bass]

Can anyone guess the lineup for the next lost?
With such imaginative promotions as this, the future of techno is surely secured.

jeff mills?

[Frank Dogshit]

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.

[rhythmtech]

is it mills?



man.. they really need to sort their shizzle out.. thats just embarressing

[Split-Personality]

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:

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.)

Shadow of what it was. Such a shame.

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

[The Overfiend]

I don't understand why people hate on Mills so much.
Honestly.
Haterade.

[The Overfiend]

That last comment is not directly aimed at anyone either, so please no backlash.

[Stella Boy]

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

[eyeswithoutaface]

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.

[Stella Boy]

how 65d can be described as warm up material is beyond me. I don't care if Mills is playing after or not :whoops:

[Tiptoe]

remember when we warmed em up at darkside that night at stinkies. they were belting that night weren't they!

[eyeswithoutaface]

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

[loopdon]

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:

[dirty_bass]

i knew you were talking bollox :briggin:

Seriously
Best DJ set I have ever heard bar none, was NYE 2001 at Lost, @ the mermaid theatre in London.
60K turbosound helped
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.

[Jay Pace]

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

twat bastrd mutha truckin bastardo hahahahahahahahahahaha!

aye! lost is a cool and awsome night and so is mills ok so he is an absolute fecking animal on the decks throwing mixes round like a lunatic but he is a legend gotta love him and aslo respect to steve bicknell for keeping this night going for so long fairdooze man, he is also a quality artist .

had the pleasure of watching 1 of my old boy heroes there once mr Robert hood live wot a set i danced my ass off hehehe!

anyway cant slate anything about this night or anyone who runs it but for sure the promoting seems a bit on the lost side but hey its diffrent ? or is it ? thats lost for ya living up to there name as usual.
