Yep, a massive thank you to all those on 313 who came down on Saturday. Rob Euroh tore it up in a big way, why he doesn't play out more outside Brighton is beyond me because he's an electro DJ of the highest order and I think would put a lot of the more established guys in the scene to shame. Alas we couldn't record anything because we didn't have enough outputs on the mixer (due to Plant 43's live set) but hopefully this situation will be rectified for forthcoming events. Thanks also to those who gave us an email during my set on Groovetech on Friday. I managed to get a shout out to you lot during some Detroit trax (world of Deep I think) in the latter half of the set.
