We only caught the first hour. He opened with Criticize, which I'm only luke warm on, then played a lot of his own material and stuff on his labels. Was really quiet and a bit slow though, which was rather dissapointing given that he was the main reason to skip Flushpoint. I gotta repeat though, this is *really* unusual for Fabric. He eventually got into some stuff that was (dare I say it) a bit bland, although I'm struggling to describe it any better than that. Pretty dissapointing sinc eI've heard nothing but glowing reviews of his last two sets here.
Haven't heard the new Peacefrog album yet, but I've been on a massive mission to catch up on his output and labels over the last few months. No idea how I lost track of him for so long... Anyway, I been pretty good but this weekend was needed! We made it to Lost last night for Max Duley's debut there. This was a really meaningful set for him since Lost was his techno christeniing and religion for a long time. He turned out an excellent set as well. Played Bwoon Dub by AFX early on, then pulled out some brilliant stuff later, like Honcho Sex God by the Aquarian Project on Peacefrog, which I've been waiting about a decade to hear on a loud system from the other side of the booth, and closed with that one nearly trancey, slightly acidic track on the Equanimity comp that I can't recall the name of right now. Starts with an 'O' I think. Anyway... he was wicked. Really pleased for him as turnout was great and everything came together really well. We left almost immediately after though, as we hadn't slept post-Fabric. Great weekend!

Most of London seems to have foregone sleep in favour of rave. While I was at a house party, Haywire was cancelled by a power cut on Friday. Bloody lame for those in attendance. However, while house partying I came up with the seed of my plan to get from Amsterdam to Berlin on 16/4 for the last night of Tresor. Good flight details from the Dam or London are very welcome. I'm s'posed to be flying back to Heathrow that night, but trying to find the cheapest way to divert myself, returning to London included. Fabric last night was great fun despite nothing consistently brilliant. Brooks played the best set I've heard from him, including C2's remix of Jonny L and about 4 Green Velvet tracks. Passarani suffered early from sound problems, but God damn that club has their sh*t together. They have a sound dude with a tablet PC on a wireless LAN that can adjust either booth from anywhere within each room. As soon as he was on the case towards the beginning of Hood's set, all was sorted. Hood was not quite as on-form as usual, but still brilliant at times. The crowd was sometimes annoying as usual, but everyone really enjoyed themselves despite the absence of specialness. Highlights: -Raver virgin dude @ Fabric with no shirt on trying to take a camera phone picture of the green lazer, looking like he was an ape in 2001 staring down the monolith -Akufen playing the 'Herbert Murdered My Poodle' remix of 'Last Night a DJ Killed My Dog'. Brilliant title, which had me stunned, and an amazing song. Think I'm late on that but w'heva. Tristan ======= [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.phonopsia.co.uk
