THE GIG: Well folks, I managed to eventually get to The Ocean Club in Hackney for our favourite artist and freinds doing some top-class djing. He was billed as "DJ Rolfroydenard D. Jims - Cash 'n' Carry" on Warprecords.com and thats as far as the advertising went. Even the venue itself had only old posters of garage events on its walls. SADDLING UP: So meself and my Italian chum, Guliamo ("Liam" to us irish cunts!) made are way in and scored some nice VW's straight away, to go with our Mc's and Mitsis. We needed 'em cos, baby we were on NO sleep since the previous morning due to delays from Dublin airport and diversions from Stansted and general pissing about. ("Hello", to Scott from Devon- A fellow braindancer who nearly missed his Swiss flight). A shower in the local baths gave us a nice wake-up call. Lookaround: Now we're sorted and majorly appreciating the finery of the surrounding femmes as well as the venue we were at. The inside of a Borg Cube, it was, with plenty of chill out spaces. We were 'up' already! BUILD UP: The Antipop consortium did their hip-hop thing and i well-loved the non-vocal bits i must say but soon drifted towards the bar. I then found myself dancing to some funky techno and after an hour going in and out of focus i managed to resolve the figure on the stage and the recognition neurons fired.....there was Mike Dred pumping out some great techno.....totally different from his barcelona live stuff and his cylob supported breaks n beats this summer in dublin. He wasn't ven billed...CLASS ......shit..lunchtime..more after....more surprises too! |

jaysus i'm stuffed! So next came the man himself and launched into relative down-beat stuff for the first part. The old vison was acting up again and i notice TWO of the weirdy beardies on the stage passing records and twiddling knobs and fooling around with real-time vocal samples over what was growing to be intense jungle/D&B. it was none other than Luke Vibert doing his Plug thing i suppose and leaving his Wagonchrist textures at home. Some nutter MC dude was helping the vibes and i got to here some vocals that didn't "mean" anything at last. They kept this going together right through till the end and i totally forgot i wanted to hear some "Drukqs" tracks. There wrre only a few AFX tracks in there and, zero Squarepusher tunes either. I didn't mind. I was fucked and got my brain launced well into orbit. A top-notch gig and as usual...full of the unexpected. The crowd was great although, i must say, not as up for it as the dublin crowds i've seen at this kinda stuff. There WAS a lot of grass going around so the atmosphere was bound to be a tad subdued i suppose. Whats next? Develop the photos. Create some noise and GEt ready for the Warp Nesh party on the 29th Dec. Oh mama! |

As per usual i forget what most of the tracks actually were but if you've heard the Sonar 2001 live stream from joyrex.com there was and hour and a half of tracks 5/6/7 type stuff!!! INfuckingTENSE!!! i wasn't mad about anti-pop dudes cos i'm generally not into meaningfull vocals these days but they had visuals comprising of the lead guys mouth in yer face due to a mic-cam and their beats n synths were pretty nice. Oh yeah.... Plaid played too. Very forgetful stuff. I have a live cd of em in Rome and i saw em at SOnar. The same fecking set each time and they tend to cut off their tracks abruptly -> Not nice when yer buzzing. Great musicians but no live 'oomph' or variations on their 'double figure' theme. i DID chat up some honeys then, so thanks guys!! |

i'm quitting my job today! A 9->5 computer piece of shit with zero learned in the past year...for a sweet number that will allow me more time to work on tunes and less on listening to boring water-cooler talk and dealing with moronic managers. It's lucky i can do this, i know.....Fuck the pay decrease, i say! |

Mark Bell was brilliant!! before him it was a bit boring, Anti pop were doing the solo rap thing for too long when the beats came in it was cool though, Plaid were 'nice' but a bit standard really. Aphex and Vibert played lot's of old D+B plus allsorts of silly noises... Cool nite! |

ahh real warp fans not just blithering idiots! i went too, it took fucking ages to get there but it was all worth it just to hear richard d james drop "jungle classic ganja man" and to also hear that mc scream ricky bianca stylee into the effects box! i also went on a paranoid vibe before i went in and had to stash my weed outside the townhall under a cobble stone 7hrs later and it was still there!! £3.00 a pint though shit! |
