shine in eindhoven
1° SHINE This Saturday it was Shine in Eindhoven, and with the weather we were having that part was already more than OK. It was a bit difficult to find the exact entrance point to the festival but that was the only thing you could hold against the organization. Once you entered the site (which was situated in the center of Eindhoven (Stadhuisplaats) on a concrete space surrounded by the local authority building and other office blocks) you could easily walk around. Shop around in the small shops (even with good 2nd hand records but hey who wants to walk around all day with 12's even for me that's a bit to much) One thing that was very special about this festival was the fact that in between DJ sets there were live gigs. So after Josh Wink (DJ), Lady Aida, Luke Solomon (spinning with a nice T-shirt : playing Detroit and than an arrow pointing down) or Surgeon (who surprised me with a good melodic Techno Set ) you could see hear live sets from : Secret Cinema who gave a very strong set, no annoying breaks in between songs, different approach to the songs as the original versions and really interacting with the audience. Good live set. Suburban knight also gave a good live set, smashing some of his « hitsongs » to pieces and coming out with different versions ( virtually irrecognizable) apart from the occasional recognizable chords but good ones. He played a lot of his early UR stuff. Acid junkies unfortunately played while I was watching Trip do brasil but they had certainly managed to capture the audience, the space was moving in unissimo and the audience was whipped into a frenzy when I went to check them out but it was their last song. Away from the mainstage their was a stage with a more leftfield approach ( even with DJ Grasshopper) were I saw the number one 2-Step DJ in holland GROOVEMASTER JOHNSON (That's what the MC told us anyway) good mixing but unfortunately I'm not really swept of my feet by two-step. Another surprise was Trip Do Brasil (Fr) a trio with two percussionists and a DJ, who managed to lock me in their grooves. Check them out if you have a chance. Unfortunately Fabio didn't show up, or he must have become white overnight. JayCee

Small correction: Luke Solomon didn't show up. It was Detroit's LOCUTUS behind the decks playing with James' records Yeah, Detroit in da houze! I have very nice pictures of the event.

One thing that was very special about this festival was the fact that in between DJ sets there were live gigs. So after Josh Wink (DJ), Lady Aida, Luke Solomon (spinning with a nice T-shirt : playing Detroit and than an arrow pointing down) or Surgeon (who surprised me with a good melodic Techno Set ) you could see hear live sets from : Eerm It was not Luke Solomon spinning it was a frien of James Pennington called Locutus, for some reason Luke Solomon had a 'No Show'. Locutus was my favorite DJ of the day, yup beter then Surgeon, he played some nice Detroit techno and electro tracks and showed fine mixing skills. Suburban knight also gave a good live set, smashing some of his « hitsongs » to pieces and coming out with different versions ( virtually irrecognizable) apart from the occasional recognizable chords but good ones. He played a lot of his early UR stuff. Did you really liked his live PA? I found it quite disappointing and he played a horrible version of his hit-track 'The art of stalking' The rhythms where way to hard, almost impossable to hear basslines and melodies. Acid junkies unfortunately played while I was watching Trip do brasil but they had certainly managed to capture the audience, the space was moving in unissimo and the audience was whipped into a frenzy when I went to check them out but it was their last song. Well i did saw them and tehy did their job. Acid Junkies always rock the crowed. I have seem them preform a lot of times and it's always nice to hear them, definitly hollands best live-act. Ference also did a DJ set and he started out with some garage tracks (and i do mean garage not garage house), later on he started playing some of his I-F tracks and the place exploded when he played Miss Kitten's remake off 'Sweet Dreams' from the Eurithmics.
RE: [313] shine in eindhoven
To be honest yes I kinda like it when they mash up their songs almost beyond recognizition, what's the use of playing live, if you stick to the original tracks. I must admit that I even liked the version of the art of stalking, but I tought hey I wonder if anybody will recognize this version. And thanks for telling me who was really spinning because I quite liked Locotus. But about Surgeon I tought he played BOOMBOOMBOOM tracks and so I was pleasently surprized with his set.

Indeed Surgeon played some wicked electro tracks, it wasn't one of his finest set but is was okay. Oh yeah there was also a hughe amount of beautifull woman walking around at the festival site :^) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
