Wow....I think Liquid Adrenaline has redeemed itself on my books seeing as this party turned out exceptionally well. As compared to other previous LA events, this party was pretty different.
Being at the Docks, I thought that for sure LA would over pack this, & having attended 5 previous LA parties I know that LA usually attracts large crowds. Although tickets were being sold at the door, the size of the crowd was just perfect. Even though lots of people were walking around, there were still a lot of space to dance and bust it up on the dance floor.
Got at the party around 11, wikkid line up get in..waited maybe 5 minutes tops. No waiting in the cold at all.
From what I saw at the party, a lot of people were having a good time. The crowd ha a real good vibe almost the whole time, going crazy everytime a wikkid song was dropped or when an mc hypes them up. Jungle room was banging, you'd see lotsa lighters pop up in the air every now and then; and the House room was banging as well (at least from what I saw the hour or so that I spent in there).
As for the dj sets that I caught...
Diligence/Ruckus w/ MC Friendlyman & Trajedy - rinsin' out a nice hard 4 hour set. Lotsa fresh new tunes...and of course some dance floor smashers. Friendlyman ripping up the mic as usual and Trajedy never ceasing to surprise me with his awesome flow and lyrics. This up & comer will surely be a name to remember in the near future.
Freaky Flow w/ Flipside - a better than the usual Freaky Flow set that we've heard and been accustomed before. Had the crowd going nuts...wikkid crowd vibes and noise! Dropped "Bunn the Sensi" which had the floor tearin!!!
Mickey Finn w/ MC Navigator - not really a big fan of Mickey myself but he definitely spun a good set IMO. Navigator I was pretty disappointed with. I've heard quite a few a sets with him where he's brucked out a bit more. Wikkid intro...Nuttah dubplate. Dropped some really really hard dubs. Crowd went ballistic with Bad Ass. I've never heard some of the tracks before...somewhere within the flavour of Aphrodite/Mickey Finn or Darren Jay production maybe. It was so funny though when Navigator would call for a rewind...maybe 3 or 4 times Finn ignored him and didn't pull it back. I guess Mickey ain't much of a rewind junkie. Navigator had to pull "31 Seconds" back himself 'cuz Mickey wouldn't. Geez...somethin' that MC's should never do is touch a frigin' turntable. Hehe..
Josh Da Funky 1 - Got bored with Mickey Finn & Navi so I venture out in the House room. I'm not really a Houser myself though I really enjoyed this guy's set. Had the crowd going wild on their feet the whole time. Wikkid scratcher as well....a lot of recognizable tunes dropped. I'm happy with his CD giveawayz.
Mystical Influence w/ L Natural - oh gosh! Hard pumpin' set by the man!! Never disappoints. Flawless mixing. Mostly dark stuff which was good. His very last track was so fuckin' rough. I thought it was a remix of J Majik's "The Lizard" since they sounded so much alike, but it's actually his own remix of a track from the US on the dub. Wow!!! Again..another MC touchin' the decks. L Natural pulled up the last track himself 'cuz Mystical wouldn't. Haha!
Over all...what a wikkid jam! As long as Liquid Adrenaline keeps their parties flowing like this one...all of them should be hype with minimal complaints from the picky ones. This is probably the best Liquid A party I have been to. Big up Liquid George and the rest of the crew!!
