RS4 finally given away Little Man remix
When's Rad ford gonna put out Made You Look remix.
Only tune he played that got a reaction at Frequency last night
arun verone had it early on, amazing mixing, so much energy. b2b with Sonny Koko who got shat all over, kind of felt sorry for him, would have been much better if it'd been just Verone.
Majesty took it for best tune selection.
After that it was a bit downhill.
Lance Morgan & Radford were pretty dull, cleared out the floor with some Lana del rey and other boring vocals, Bad Bassline VIP was ok but a lot of Radford's tunes seem to be heading a lot more mainstream trad house
don't think Lee Edwards played which was a disappointment.
Vibe was pretty good, great sound system. Shame they kept pushing it into distortion.
Majesty's pretty bad for that, tunes end up sounding like industrial techno.
shuffling doesn't work so well in a small really crowded venue. got stamped on a lot.
way too many selfies being taken/ people filming themselves dancing but maybe that's just me showing my age....
cleared is an exaggeration but a lot of people headed out
the trouble with having Arun Verone on at 12 is that everyone playing after just looks like they're not even trying.
Bouncing around behind the decks like a nutter
Lol we must have been at a different night or something. I mean, I've found at all of the 8 or so deep tech nights I've been to that tunes don't really get 'reactions' like in faster genres - it's people dancing to house music all night long, much more of a constant flow than everyone jumping up and down. Thought Radford's set went down very nicely, as least where I was right at the front. I noticed the venue very slowly emptying out from around 4:30, but I definitely didn't notice Radford clearing the floor. I mean, as closing time gets nearer, more people go home, pretty standard stuff.
Lee Edwards was playing b2b with Radford the whole time! and he played exclusively Eastside bangaaaaz! Loads of Archie B, Creative Minds etc
Lance Morgan was sick, mad techy stuff, alongside big vocal bangers - had a proper moment when he dropped Luke Larwell's London Grammar refix.
Agree re: too many people to shuffle.
Disagree re: Arun Verone: strong first half, went into some pretty forgettable stuff in the second half.
Wicked night overall, energy levels were high constantly, crowd was friendly, music never dipped below 'good' and there were lots of wicked moments, some mad tracks I've never heard before plus all of my favourite tunes of the last few months. Honestly not sure how we got such different impressions lol
what was it saying? who was d best, quick rundown?
not gonna lie ive been off the (uk) house ting for a couple months, some of the beats man, no imagination whatsoever, and the fame hungry djs/cameramen aint helping either
just my opinion
Been wondering where you'd gone, glad to see you're back
I agree with some of the comments posted here, the output of the scene really seemed to drop off in the second half of the year. My iTunes folder (bar the Top Shelf Material releases) has been dead with new material from September onwards. I know some of the guys have a lot lined up for 2015, couple really exciting things happening, just hope the raves continue to be as good as they have been
MFR and Definition Audio have had wicked latter halves of the year, Audio Rehab and +Recording's last few releases have all been wicked, Strange Static have released a bunch of great free downloads plus their first EP, Zephron did those wicked AR and Majesty releases, the last AR on Audio Whore is one of the best releases the scene's produced, Eastside have continued smashing out dank dirty riddims - albeit at a slower pace than before the summer (though that's in the context of Storm running off with a bunch of tunes and trying to start a new label...)
The only label who's fallen off is House Ent, who have released like two EPs in 4 months or something, but otherwise it seems like everyone's putting out fire ATM. literally have no idea where all the doom and gloom is coming from
