Dan only got to see him once. B2B with DVS1 at Movement. Was a walloping set. Very much like the cut of his jib.

    Eric Prydz might make pop music these days but he can knock out absolute bangers when he wants to. No problem with our guy.

    Saw Ben Klock play to a room of about 30 people, White Rabbit in Beijing, circa 2010/11.

    Given the sparse crowd and the fact that only about half of us were bang into it, Ben and I probably locked eyes about three times as he dropped an absolute banger.

    In your face, Zack.

      bosstrabs you’ve told me this one b4. Very jealous. Only ever had that experience with Nick Warren. Not my fav by a long shot, but was also an awesome night. He hung around and got wasted with us afterwards. Seemed very lonely.

        Absolutely ruined Bedrock at Heaven one time circa 2007, came on after Digweed and played some absolute tripe. That was an early bus home

          Hursty Digweed’s set from that night was so good he played it twice on Transitions. 😀

          Five hours, and he set it perfectly for Prydz to continue with his bangers, and instead he started his set from some way too deep stuff apparently.

            Ben Sims is a legend, I was on acid in a field in 94 and he was making the speakers bounce. At least thats what I remember anyway.

            Why did I misread the post as being from Ben Klock rather than Ben Sims?

              LT42 Time is 13:33. Bit early. Probably Zackster’s obsession with Klock made me just assume.

                  Still though, the image of you and Klock catching eyes in a half empty club will live on no matter where this thread ends up.

                    LT42 Pretty sure he gave me a smile for appreciating one of the cuts he’d just dropped too.

                      Points down at the deck then points at you and nods. Love those moments.

                      This is what I love about prog house, it’s the music of the past, present and the future.

                      Or winning as I like to call it.

                      Dan Indeed. I doubt he will lose any sleep over it (in business class). Clearly winning as Ed would say 😂

                          alistair On the contrary, people with too much money and little to occupy their time, in my experience, tend to be some of the biggest pricks likely to take offence at any perceived slight.

                              bosstrabs Zackster loves the Klock. Are you sure you heard correctly?

                                Dan I didn’t. Must confess I know little about him. Where?

                                    alistair Not entirely sure…he does the Essex Rascals mixes which are right old mix up of genres.

                                    I’ve got most of these Killabite tracks on vinyl. This is what I would class as techno…Shades of OPEN at MOS.

                                        Dan Sounds good (and world away from the business techno and trance remakes that is giving it a bad name). To add balance, I will always give the Cirez D stuff a listen too

                                            alistair Frankfurt & On and On are the few track I’ve acquired.

                                              Dan Wasn’t he a resident at Shine in Belfast for a while? Think him and Homer had a night there.

                                                I can’t see him and David Holmes on the same bill.

                                                  Dan Homer played with Dave Clarke et all pretty regularly in the mid 90s. Pretty sure that’s when Sims was resident there

                                                      LT42 Sorry mate I thought you were referring to Eric 🤣

                                                      Yeah Sims and Holmes music would’ve been very similar… Prob same sound as Temple of Sound - Banging techno.


                                                        Nothing cheesy about this set the other night. Might even get Zach shuffling his feet. Bit too hard for me though

                                                          Hot take

                                                          Original by Mojo is better.

                                                          EDIT. Playing a Burning Man fundraiser in the coming weeks. Might have to pull 1983 out of the bag.
