What’s a 1 ft Brummy hobbit going to do about American politics?

Saw Lawler once in 2004 during the tribal dark drums era, in LA. Tore the place up. Might have been the red GU mixed comp release tour. Place was overflowing with raver girls, European and American. Even moreso than a Sasha night, which was usually dominated by fairly stuck-up Asians. First time I got lucky with a rando, you don’t forget those. Pete Tong opened.

2003, Tong was good tbf. Immediately got the first track on vinyl that weekend:

EDIT: lol. Just went through it. Horrific scenes, but I’m not ashamed. Good times.

    rhouses He was never good Rhouses. He had an iconic voice and was imperious on Radio 1 however In the dj booth he was lightyears behind sasha, digweed, lawler etc. ‘Played a bit of everything’ type of dj. Says it all.

        Lols at Pete tong being good. You’ve finally absolutely fucking destroyed every scrap of respect you had and that wasnt much. Complete fucking shambles. Find a bridge, throw your phone off, follow it.

          seanc80 I would never go out of my way or pay money to see Pete Tong by himself. As a warm up DJ that night though, it was a pretty banging set.

              rhouses Banging warm up? Go’way Rhouses and stop annoying me like a good chap.

                  seanc80 In my defense, I might not have even known Tong was warming up. I was there purely for Steve Lawler.

                  Said banger I bought on vinyl, that Tong ended his set with (god knows why Tiesto pics are in the video):

                      In deep fried
                      Stomach band on
                      Any creds?
                      Negative

                      I’m convinced putting rhouses into the mill would make him a better person. Because right now he’s a fucking mess.

                      seanc80 Last saw him at Pacha as he was on after Sasha & Marcus James and he looked well out of his depth mixing. I think we’ve heard French Kiss before, mate.

                        Last time I saw him was at the Gallery in 99 warming up the room for Van Dyk before his EM. Was boring up until the point he played Stella.

                          Can’t mix for toffee and still ended up with £25m in the bank.

                          Pete Tong that is.

                          Besides that one vinyl, unknowingly paying to see lawler but having tong warm up, and a subscription to all Essential Mixes on freshly mixed.com from 2003-2008, I don’t believe I have ever paid for anything Pete Tong related. So the lot of you can STFU.

                          Also it wasn’t a dude, rich you cunt. it was a raver honey, half Persian half white if I can recall correctly. I was actually leaving and she randomly pulled me and asked why I was leaving early. The cynic in me thought she was being paid by the promoters to keep the place full but it ended it up being a lovely interaction that ended in hers. Had a bag tho, so maybe that helped.

                            rhouses the big question is did you block his her toilet that night with one of your massive shits?

                              alistair haha, I went to that too. There was a group of so called ravers dancing around a child’s farmyard set on the dance floor. They thought that it was cool, it wasn’t a patch on playing twister with two girls in hot-pants and tight tittie tops at Shugborough Hall.
