I went to this last night, it was held at the ski village. Artists were Plaid (Live), Richard Devine (Live), Chris Clark (Live?) and Luke Vibert DJ'ing. I was on the guest list and it turned out if you were on it you didn't need tickets, so I went out later I sold mine (quite cheaply, everyone had tickets!) to some student. ANYWAY, its a good thing I bought em cos my friend wasn't on the guest list like he was supposed to be, but no problem. After getting a drink we went out to look around the place and there were the marquee's for the hip hop and DnB arena, but we couldn't find warp! We eventually found it and it was kinda shoved into a corner room next to the bar (so kinda handy =)) First playing were Warp DJ's, I was told who they were but can't remember. Not bad, didn't play much a I recognised, I think they played one aphex track... At the warp merchandise stall I saw and talked to Richard Devine. I thought I recognised him (then saw he had a tag saying his name on!) and he's a really nice bloke, we talked about groups and gear and stuff and he seemed pretty genuine. Next was Plaid. I didn't recognise a single track of theirs, I was hoping for the slightly mellower stuff like BOOC but it was pretty heavy but enjoyable none the less. I dunno where the videos were they were talking about though. Then Richard came on and he played an amazing live set, really heavy and fast...it was all far more danceable than what I was expecting...I haden't really heard much of his stuff so couldn't name anything, but i'm going to get some more! Then Luke Vibert, this guy musta snuck on cos I wasn't sure whether it was him, until in true Vibert style he mixed in the 'This Morning' theme tune, I didn't realise it had so much bass! It was a good set and he also put in the Grange Hill theme.... The annoying thing was that they had a row of tv screens at headheight so you could see the performer, only their faces came up every so often from a little camera, it woulda been nicer to see more |

I left at about 1.30 cos my mate steve was tired (I woulda stayed longer..). I bought a tour cd for which I think I was severely undercharged but I was drunk so I don't know. I took quite a few photo's and got a good one of Rich but it was hard to get the other artists cos of the tv's, i'll scan them once developed. Lastly, a big big thankyou to Jivver and sorry I didn't see you! |
