Aaannddd just got back to Leeds so can mooch about feeling sorry for myself with a partial hangover.
Had a grand time of it. Really liked the sub club. Tiny place but a cracking sound system, good crowd and cracking atmosphere. Can’t ask for more than that really. Nice to put a place to a name.
Went to see Four candles at the pre-party and he was decent. He rinsed it out in the club for the first 90 mins which was good but John came on and took it right back down and started again from scratch. Was a bit odd tbh. Diggers coming on at 00:30 and the club shuts at 4 so you’d think he’d rinse it out for a bit and then bring it down towards the end. Seemed to kill the vibe tbh - guessing someone should have had a word with FC to chill out or put him on last. Decent set from Digweed but not his best. For the first two hours he’d build it up through all the usual gears to some sort of plodding robot techno style tracks as the peak, letting them go on far too long before bringing it back down a bit, letting some emotion and atmosphere back into the tracks and building higher next time - nothing really stood out tbh - There was a soul-less plodding techno version of Compass Error played out that had me scratching my head - like what is the point of taking one of the most euphoric blasting tracks ever produced and making a plodder out of it (Guessing it’s Guy J remix lol) - He starting bringing the hammer down for the last 90 mins though which was much better. Worth the trip for sure. 🙂
