Along_the_Wire always with there agenda!
Sasha and Digweed Hackney Church1st December 2023
Benson, if you aren’t in yet, you can just walk straight in and swerve the balcony
Enjoy everyone, interesting to hear what the sets are like. Must say i would have liked to have attended the aftershock although I’ve no idea if the venue is any cop
Hursty Top venue, great crowd - I was nowhere near the oldest in the room. Such a great night. Battered on the train home - luckily my missus will be getting back from her work’s party shitfaced and won’t take much persuasion for a wee carry on
- Edited
They played a bit harder than usual I thought but no worse for it. Diridim and Forbidden city got an airing from Futura. Didn’t recognise much else but many belters
alistair Mind by Carrera and Tavares got aired too - great tune that
Along_the_Wire oh yes!
They must’ve made a killing in there money-wise across the board.
Finished with Tamil, tune!
Only managed a couple of hours as it took me 3 twatting hours to get there from Reading. Now tucked up in bed and got work tomorrow. Sound was waaaaay better upstairs than downstairs. Plus no queue for the bar. Ended up with a downstairs ticket as well so flitted between.
Left about 2130. It was a great set. I’ve got to be up at 0630 tomorrow so could not stay longer.
No classics played then?
Digweed was definitely playing the better tunes
Can confirm that they pushed the pace to 118-120 easily!
Hackney is a total pain in the arse to get to and from.
Really enjoyable night . Loved the venue . Crowd was ace with minimal gammons and more women than i expected . Played that Davi track which the crowd lapped up. Ended the night with a Zinger burger and some jiggy jiggy back at the hotel. Winning.
Along_the_Wire agreed. Mrs IS picked that up early doors.
Anyone go to the afters at VU ?
Thought that was a great venue and decent night out. Wasn’t sure what to expect from them considering how early it was, but they didn’t hold back.
£6.25 for a tiny can of lager was a pisstake.
Yeah, I went to both and throughly enjoyed them both. That warm up DJ at Village Underground was appalling though, Tim Deluxe and Born Slippy. Proper shite.
Digweed had a few copies of Quattro to off load on the poor unsuspecting punter on the way in.
They played a fair few tracks with some proper rave stabs/breakdowns (none of which I could name) which sounded ace. I also remembered the Kaspar/Rex the dog remix which went down a treat.
