The good news... Max Graham was there with a big smile as always.
The bad news... Max's records weren't there at all.
It appears yet another Dj had their records lost in transit. I dunno, I think if I was an international DJ, my toothbrush bag and luggage would go in cargo and I would sit with my records on my lap, I mean they are a DJ's means of getting paid. No worries though, Greg Benz was there to fill the gap, and fill it he did.
Music ranging from melodic trance to down-right dirty stomping progressive beats Greg played a seamless set (not bad for a guy who thought he was only playing and hour and a half so had probably a few too many vodka OJ's).
The venue. I can't believe Core FX is the same place as the Ichabod's and Go-Go of years of yore. Classy decor, intelligent lighting, upper level seating area, smooth (not too loud) sound system, perfectly elevated Dj booth, pool tables. I must say I was totally impressed.
The crowd. This was the highlight of my night. I thought London town was slipping a bit in it's attitude, but last night I realized that the people I was used to partying with back in the day simply didn't come out that much... and last night they did. Good vibes all around, no meatheads, drug addicts, OD cases... none of the bullshit which unfortunately has become the norm instead of the exception. People were smiling, cheering and apologizing if they stepped on you foot. I am a very happy dude.
Cheers to Amir for a great night, to Greg Benz (a DJ everybody has to check out soon) and he's a pretty good guy too. Cheers to Marco @ Velocity Design for the wickedest flyer concept I have seen in years. To the London Massive, everything we complain about was non-existent last night.
So I hope PartyKid Corey doesn't mind, but I am going to borrow his party meter and give this one a 9/10, lost one point because of no headliner, other than that minor glitch, a wicked night. A good start to an awesome couple of weeks coming up the the forrest city. See Ya here.
