I was there too, and I was _very_ disappointed, never having heard Derrick May play before. Instead a certain Jim Masters played for three hours... no comment. Although I have to say in his favour that he dropped Jay Denham's 'Pride [It's Time]'. Didn't make up for the rest though. Carl Cox played the last set that night - no sign of Kevin Saunderson though - and while I can't say I was impressed with the tuneage it's good to see a DJ enjoying himself behind the dexx. He was really into it, and loadsa peeps were dancing hard. I guess I just was a very moody Techno grrrl on Saturday night... > Some of my friends went to Fabric to hear Rolando play only to be refused > entry because they were male (Sexism eh ? thats dangerous) So after that > they came to the End only to be let down again. > If it's any consolation Ben once you here Derrick spin it will have been > worth the wait.

I've heard about this mistreatment at Fabric too. Has anyone ever tried to get in touch with their management and asked why they do this? Perhaps it's just the bouncers at the door? If so it might be worth a try because it does give the club a bad reputation although as a 'super' club they maybe don't care? On the other hand it's been my observation [here in London as opposed to Germany] that there's often more boys than grrrls at Techno events. Not that I mind either way or that I'm looking for an excuse but it could be that they want a more balanced audience. Just a thought I had right now. Having said all that I prefer going to small[er] clubs anyway but it appears to me DJ's from tha D don't often play those here in London... ? Btw., does TP ever play over here or is it only my impression that he doesn't? Anyone know if there's a reason for this if so? And I'm still hoping Alan Oldham comes to London some day. There are plenty people here who like good music. Really. :) Hope y'all enjoyed your weekend! DEMF... *sigh* ;) Mebbe next year.
