I was treated to two Derrick Plasaiko sets this weekend, one more tech-y, one at a small part that was mostly house (if blurry memory serves correctly). I always saw glowing posts about his performances in Detroit, but I never got the chance to hear him until this weekend. The first half-hour or so of his set on Friday was phenomenal. He worked those effects with precision I've never seen before. The consumate perfectionist, he wasn't too pleased with his performance, but I don't think a single Iowan had any complaints. Derrick also got to witness first-hand how cops in Iowa pull nearly everyone over at 2:00 am at random (for lack of anything better to do) - thank god for designated drivers :>
"Rotation" in Iowa City has been on a role lately, with T1000 then Derrick and TP next weekend. TP is making his (4th?) appearance in Iowa City, where he has a huge following. Always a phenomenal party. If it wasn't for Rotation, I don't think I would have made it through this Winter sane.

This last sat us 4 LOWlanders-who-went-to-Detroit-last-december went to Munster in Germany for TPs Birthday Bash. TP played in Dockland, a 800+ capacity venue in a shady part of Munster, a city about 60 km from the Dutch border. Not exactly the kind a neighbourhood where you would expect a garage and deephouse club; I would expect a more techno oriented club. We later found out that Westbam had a residency down the road, so that fit the picture quite well. It was real nice seeing TP back after all these months, and he gave us a real treat in playing us the best in US garage, deephouse and all these other gems that came out of his recordbag. Not to to mention his skills: you can tell where his roots lie (hiphop) but he is also really good in blending tracks. I especially liked the last 45 minutes of his set where he got into a set of really good vocal tracks including a new bootleg mix of an old BeBe and CeCe Winans track (Sorry TP, that's what I made of your story; the music was too loud) and that EXCELLENT new Blaze mix of Kenny Bobien's and Stephanie Cooke's "Love's Been Right Here" on King Street. That one really made my (and Otto's) night, but you noticed that!!!! :) Anyway, the crowd really got into his music and appreciated his skills as well as quality music. OK People, who's gonna get him to play in Holland? It's been 6 years sincee last played here!!!! And that's a real shame...
