Talking of covers, at the weekend I caught Envoy live. It was ok, but I wasn't too sure about the use of Lil Louis' speech from Blackout, or DJ Rush's lyrics from Spitball (Hope is the name of the singer isn't it?). It was sort of funny, but then I got to thinking about techno karaoke! Rolando also dj'd, but I have to say he was a bit boring (shocking I know!). I was hoping he'd mix up a few different styles some more. Maybe he didn't think the crowd would respond?...
