I have no idea where to begin??? This was one of the best nights that I have had in a long time(especially for a Monday???)
After having to say goodbye to my best friend Julie who went to Korea for several weeks today, I was depressed realizing that the only thing that would cheer me up was seeing Boy George @ Fluid nightclub.
Always a skeptic(being a Libra and all), I knew not what to expect at first, as I associated Boy George with playing predomantly trance induced sets,which I was not, nor will ever be looking forward to! Still though, I was anxious to see him, especially after having ventured to Ministry of Sound last year during a trip to London (where he is a resident) and missing him...all because I did not fit the dress code(nuts to that) So I was READY!!!!
Trance, it was not! He played one of the best sets I have heard this year. Most people only remember Boy George from his Culture Club days, so as a dj you do not know what to expect and all that runs through your head at first is "carma, carma, carma, carma, carma chameleon..." Let me tell you though, this man knows how to throw it down on the decks with impecable mixing, and track selection. It was always funky and hard hitting! A far cry from the Boy George we all remember from the '80's.
The best however( for me at least) was being able to shake his hand during his set. All I remember was he looked out to the crowd with an unforgettably smile, then looked straight down, rolled his eyes with a joyous grin and I could not help myself but extend my hand and shake hands with this legend(of course I am also a BIG FAT RETRO FAN, so his past musical endeavours weighed heavily on my initiative to do this).
To top it off, for his encore he through down a BREAKS TRACK??? Oh my god, I nearly shit my pants!!!!! All I could think about was how everyone who recently saw "Mr.Oakenfold" at Tonic was talking about how he was throwing down Breaks which tripped everyone out(with good reason, Oakenfold-breaks...can't see it)so I was completely stunned....BREAKS, you gotta love them! Most people who know me(the guy who does cash at Breakfest on sundays, probably realize my love of breaks) so to hear them played bu this legend was a true pleasure!!!!!
Went to Kenny Ken briefly afterwards at MadBar, and though I heard little of his set, was extatic; especially after not having been able to see the man since Rewind in '98. BIG UPS TO THE AVIATOR CREW, DONNY AND ROB
!!!!
Once again an amazing night,and to think I was not going to go out at all, simply cause I had to work the next morning at 9:00? You would think I would have learned by now...but not! Oh, his make-up was not that bad either
