The thought of not being able to be front and centre with Wal and Bens as Digweed drops the made in Tooting Heaven Scent hurts I cannot lie.

    At least Ed has an excuse for bailing on this occasion.

    benson Take your time. Diggers room and room 3 not open yet. Diggers all night my arse!

      I’m too old for this shit. Great club. Great sound system. No idea what was played. Had a gerat time. Left about 4.

      Howells was absolutely pummelling it. Had a good amount of time in there but have to say I preferred John. Some proper great tracks.

      Getting home was utterly grim but being back in my own bed is amazing.

      Saw lots of people including Wal. Everybody appears to have shaved all their hair off since I last saw them.

        😂

          Smallman1 Ben’s will prob departed as your putting your coat in.

              Dan Good luck with that at E1. Took me about an hour to find the cloakroom!

                mono-stereo taxi to paddington. 0523 Train to didcot. Stuck at DIdcot for an hour trying to get a taxi! Grim. But worth it in the end to be able to enjoy a beer in y own garden today

                    benson always best to get home! Seems ok at the time staying out or going to a mates, feel the benefits today

                      Just got back home to Leeds. I had a fantastic time. Really great evening. Thought John was immense and it was lush being there from his opening ambient track to just after 4am when he was belting it out. It was great to see some people I’ve not seen for years (My shaved head covid cut is a fashion choice, not a necessity Benson. I can have a full head of luxurious hair thank you very much lol). The London crowd are always up for it (it seems the London drug scene is definitely still in full swing) and plenty of funny characters wandering around.

                      I don’t think there’s any secret sauce to him and Sasha playing better when they play in London clubs - they do the whole night so you get the several hours of build up where he’s playing really interesting stuff while slowly cranking up through the gears. Stuff you just won’t get when they do a 3 hour headliner set elsewhere in the country. It just misses so much stuff out.

                      The venue was alright - seemed the sound system in the main room was screwy for the first 30 mins or so of John’s set until it got sorted. There was definitely sweet spots for dancing where it sounded much better than other places. I hardly moved from the spot I found all night as a result but no bad thing. Busy but not too busy which was cool.

                      Room 2 was mental. Absolutely blasting it out from the opening and it never slowed down. I thought when Danny Howells came on at 2am he’d slow it down a bit but nope - he just went with it. It was the only room with any seating but definitely not the chill out room at 128+ bpm lol.

                      So great evening all round. Tired today but not hungover or coming down which is a result. Loved it.

                        Shazam says John played this around the 30 min mark but I dunno if it’s a wrong ID. I tried to shazam a few tunes throughout but this was the only one it got.

                        Wally but definitely not the chill out room at 128+ bpm lol

                        lol
