Well after all that I never made it to the Krust/Orca night in the end, got an invite to a house party and was considering trying to do both but then my friend who'd originally suggested it flaked out and I was getting somewhat flaky vibes from the one friend who was still down, so I ended up sacking it off and just doing the house party instead. Really feeling it the next day now, I think a bit of rest might do me some good.
Maybe i was just in the right mood... also i grew up raving to smokescreen type parties up north, they do like cheesy basslines!Earlier there were some nice spacey tunes but I'm not really feeling it, too many cheesy baselines. I might go home and watch the latest series of Ambulance
I'm not a very broad church when it comes to music tbf.
But yeah, on the whole found the music too cheesy, too busy, too 'funky', just not enough deepness.
The place was packed and the crowd were loving it.
I have now relented my previous thumbs down and
to this.Firstly because there's nothing else I want to go to for the foreseeable.
Secondly because I think I'll really need a dance after two days of Christmas slothing.
And thirdly because I'm sure there'll be more tunes that appeal to me than last night's Phonox outing, which had me wishing for something more stripped back. And if there isn't, I can simply leave after a couple of hours and walk home.
Tbf my friend who took me to it didn't really like it either, i was way more into it! (Actually part of the reason i didn't go, he tragically died a couple of weeks after... so it was the 2nd to last time i hung out with him ever... so would have felt a bit weird to go without him).
At least you didn't have to travel far! And you can tick it off list.
I'm so sorry to read that, how awful. I'll raise a fistbump to his memory as a fellow good music lover.
Yes, it was no bother as it was early in the day, near home and I had no other plans.
Thank you... Peter was an amazing guy, if any of you were going out in Bristol you might be familiar with his Outlaws nights.... Gabbatoir... loads of crazy art projects. I think this photo sums everything up

yeah, will be a treat after Christmas as the in laws will have left a few hours earlier!

I like the look of this in Feb. Love DJ Bone and have heard good things about Fold
He played at Phonox earlier in the year.

Sounds like those at 'Drumsheds' last Friday had a nightmare
www.holddrumshedsaccountable.com
I've never been due to me thinking it had the potential to be everything that is described in the testimonies on that website. I.E mad queues, one way systems, arsehole security, lack of toilets etc
Apparently they were doing more thorough searches which caused huge delays to entering the venue, and if it wasn't for the good nature of the crowd they would have had a crush/stampede/riot on their hands

Yeah these venues Drumsheds, Printworks and to a lesser extent motion are far away from my idea of what a good night is.

Those huge hangar/warehouse raves in London have never appealed to me and get less so the older I get. They look almost as shit as London park raves.
I suppose they might be fun if you’re with a big crew, but overzealous security would put a stop to that.

Aren’t they run by the same people? Wonder why there’s such a difference.
Perhaps it’s do with licensing conditions in the two different boroughs the venues are in
I only went to Printworks once, it was soulless shit and they wouldn't let me keep my small bag on me.
However good guests, good sound and parties from the day through to midnight made it good enough.
I saw Carl Craig and Moodyman there on the same bill and had a great time.

I thought Printworks was quite shit too, granted i think i only went once for Paul van Dyk, but too many fucking camera phones in the air. At times i felt i was the only person in the vicinity actually dancing rather than looking at and in many cases recording the pretty light screen.
Fortunately I missed this as I like to dance right at the front facing the DJ.
But I am very appreciative of the Phonox phone sticker system.

Sounds like those incidents were before the night in question, and they had a licensing hearing the day before the event and given addtional stipulations. Hence strict searches which lead to huge queues getting in. Thankfully the crowd behaved and didn't rush the entrances, like what happened at Brixton Academy a couple of years back.Two deaths and a stabbing since:
A gig with a set start time is rather different from a club night though. Personally think Drumsheds sounds like a pretty crap night out even without the queues to get in. Far too large, pretty isolated & terrible queues to get out from what I've heard.
