It showed me what it means to be a truly professional DJ. I've often thought of sharing it with the list. The evening went something like this. It was an event called Hybrid sometime around '96 in a London warehouse type venue just south of the river. The line-up was mouth watering - Juan Atkins, Joey Beltram and Derrick May in that order. It started Badly. After the warm-up came Juan. He played a bad set that got worse. He looked like he'd rather be anywhere but behind the decks. He started getting booed. So he responded by playing 25 minutes of beatless ambient nonsense mixed badly with a beatless mix of strings of life. Someone started throwing empty plastic water bottles at the stage and off he went. Rubbish. Started to think I'd wasted my money. On came Beltram. As ever, he started with Energy Flash and then dropped a classic set of his own stuff interlaced with plenty of dark Chicago jacking grooves and a load of the Robert Armani catalogue. The place came to life. Then the power went. The music stopped for about an hour. Everyone waited it out though. When the power came back DM came on. I can only think that DM felt he had to make up for what went before. Juan was an embarrassment, while Joey was great, he was stopped in his tracks by the power cut. DM dropped an absolutely classic set of house and techno. His mixing was lightning fast, often using the headphones for just a few seconds before dropping the next track. The crowd responded brilliantly. He worked the eq, and cut and scratched superbly. He went way, way, over time until the bouncers came to the stage and started shouting at him to stop. He wasn't having any of it so this big bouncer guy just starts shaking the scaffold that May is standing on and the record starts jumping all over the place. May looks at the guy and shakes his head then picks the up the deck and holds it out in his palm right above the bouncer and plays the tune again. This time the shaking doesn't make the record jump. May is grinning his head off, the crowd are cheering like mad and the bouncer looks like he's going to explode. We got a few more minutes of his last track before they turned off the power to make him stop! He then hung around for 30 mins afterwards chatting with stragglers and getting well deserved thanks and compliments from all. It was one of the best sets I've seen, but most impressive was the work rate, passion and commitment. He could have done his two hours and left, but instead he turned a bad night into one of the most memorable and that makes him a great DJ in my eyes.

RE: (313) Derrick May
I have another May story - he played at The Orbit in 92/93. But only for 20 minutes. He was late cos he was supposedly confused about Leeds' proximity to London. Underworld were on before him and ended up playing a second set which was even more crazy and wigged out than the first. May shows up at 1.40am and plays about 40 records in 20 minutes, starting with Irresistable Force's Flying High played as fast as he could manually spin it on the deck, whilst cutting in some other record with beats, before slaying us for the next twenty minutes, grinning maniacally all the time. The place went mental and Leeds fell in love with Derrick May -Original Message- From: Thomas D.

We're on in about 10 minutes if it floats your boat. Almost forgot to mention that the always-good Lee Bolton will be busting out some tunes as well (it is his show after all). ;) I think he might be giving away CD copies of my mix too. My mix is mostly newish house and techno. He says he'll be doing disco/techno/house/hip hop/whatever, which sounds about right. ;) Tristan === [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.phonopsia.co.uk - Original Message - From: Tristan Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 12:56 PM Subject: SPAM-LOW: (313) Tristan Watkins on Transmission at Proton Radio - 3PM GMT, Th 23-02-06 More info here: http://protonradio.com/show.php?showid=22 There will be an archive and tracklist up soon after.

Hey Tristan, I liked it a lot. I've never been to croydon, but it seems aptly named, in that it really is a sunshine-y track!
