Eerm It was not Luke Solomon spinning it was a frien of James Pennington called Locutus, for some reason Luke Solomon had a 'No Show'. Locutus was my favorite DJ of the day, yup beter then Surgeon, he played some nice Detroit techno and electro tracks and showed fine mixing skills. > Suburban knight also gave a good live set, smashing some of his « > hitsongs » to pieces and coming out with different versions > ( virtually > irrecognizable) apart from the occasional recognizable > chords but good ones. > He played a lot of his early UR stuff. Did you really liked his live PA? I found it quite disappointing and he played a horrible version of his hit-track 'The art of stalking' The rhythms where way to hard, almost impossable to hear basslines and melodies. > Acid junkies unfortunately played while I was watching Trip > do brasil but > they had certainly managed to capture the audience, the > space was moving in > unissimo and the audience was whipped into a frenzy when I > went to check > them out but it was their last song. Well i did saw them and tehy did their job. Acid Junkies always rock the crowed. I have seem them preform a lot of times and it's always nice to hear them, definitly hollands best live-act. Ference also did a DJ set and he started out with some garage tracks (and i do mean garage not garage house), later on he started playing some of his I-F tracks and the place exploded when he played Miss Kitten's remake off 'Sweet Dreams' from the Eurithmics.
