I read some similiar things on www.inthemix.com.au (Syd forum) and some conflicting things. A few people said he was tired, I have no idea why. He was very energetic and dripping sweat, he flew in from Singapore just before. He wanted the sound up, maybe that had some influence on the night. He's not from the seamless mixing skool, I loved the effects, and loved the flow, but that's me, I really dislike seamless mixing and mono sets, it's the excitement that appeals to me. It was trademark Mayday. But Melbourne is his city, so we'll see. I don't think the crowd in Sydney got it. Brave move on the part of Home, they could have easily got someone commercial like Bob Sinclar! ;)
