3 Day Weekend
So this weekend I went to just one club, and it was the End/AKA on Saturday.
Some Irish friends knew Fish Go Deep (an institution in parts of Ireland) so I went along to see them, with Efdemin a good lure on the bill too. Unfortunately the sound in the sideroom for Efdemin was pretty crap and made it difficult to enjoy his set, apart from “Orbitallife” which still manages to trump that kind of problem.
I hadn’t been in the End since seeing Derrick Carter sometime around 2004 or earlier, so it was strange to be back, and just a taxi ride away. I saw bits of Fish Go Deep, with Chez Damier’s “Can U Feel It” (MK Dub) going down really well right at the end, but I can’t say I’d be rushing to spend time in AKA again. The End itself is okay, though Layo and Bushwacka were playing that brand of minimal that seems to be just drums and reverb in the main room, and so that wasn’t great.
Unfortunately Secretsundaze was sold out so I didn’t make it there yesterday, did anyone else? Would be good to hear how that gig went. I hear talk of Rhadoo playing on a Sunday in London too soon, which should be a lot of fun if it happens, I’m due to get his new single on Cadenza to review sometime soon, which sounds interesting enough and quite experimental.
Check out that Chez Damier tune below, if you’ve not heard it already.

Wow, this mix is a real keeper. I wish someone would reissue this stuff on mp3. Granted that would boil the blood of a lot of old school heads, but new folks want to hear and play these tracks, too!
