So... Steve Bicknell was good as usual. Nothing flashy mixing-wise, as usual. He played the same two Ame tracks as last week, back-to-back again, and the same Donna Summer 'I Feel Love' version (maybe he plays this in every set???), but the rest was pretty dope. Never thought I'd hear him play 'Loose Lips', or any broken beat stuff for that matter, but he played two joints. He'll prolly play them both next week in the same order as well. I'm not crapping on him. I just can't see why someone with so many good records can mail in parts of his selection so often.
Anyway... Colin Dale. Tough to sum up neatly. Ultimately incredibly disappointing, but he mixed Miura with Deep Burnt, which would have been genius if he didn't mix out of Deep Burnt half-way through. Would have been less disappointing if he'd played bland tech house all night, but he tantalised us with anout 5-10 gems along the way, and filled the gaps with turd. That was probably the most confused seamless set I've ever heard. He seemed to have no clue where he wanted to take things, and meandered along where he thought the crowd might take him. Such a crap effort. Worst Spacebase I've witnessed by far. Next week should be outstanding though. My friend Mark from the Outlet Collective will be starting things out with a jazz/funk/soul set which promises to be stunning. He's a funk collector extraordinaire.
