they can be a bit Jive Bunny when they get carried away. I wouldn't do £30 on them
They can be, but they can also be very good. 'Saw' them at Fabric years ago. That was fucking rammed, as it goes.

I didn't notice a drought... I don't do mdma that often and i'm lucky to have a very well connected (though expensive) dealer who never seems to run out of anything.

After a very succesfull dance work out till dawn on NYE despite it being a sold out venue I have some faith restored - to add to the positive perspective this article makes for good reading - we should be thankful for what we've got:
You’re too Young to Remember the Eighties – Dancing in a different time
It’s easy to forget in this age of all night parties, after hour’s clubs and late licensing that there was once a time when all venues were shut by 2am. The early Eighties were a grim time for going out to party. Most discos were overpriced watering holes where entrance meant being scrutinized by door staff checking you looked respectable. For some reason white shoes were de rigueur. The first album I owned in the late Seventies, which I had listened to religiously on cassette tape, was the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. It introduced me to the concept of a glamorous nightlife where DJ’s mixed the beat and beautiful people danced the night away, this was something strictly lacking in the nightclubs of South East London at that time. There music was strictly soul boy jazz funk and sophisticated meant getting down on to the floor to do the rowing boat dance. Going out dancing in Woolwich on a Saturday night was more a case of surviving the beer boys and avoiding handbags strewn on the dance floor.

I was dancing all night in a warehouse in Deptford on NYE with 200 other folks. Death of dancing my arse.

Luke Vibert turns things on its head: we've now got the crowd facing the DJ and the DJ facing away
Is that a pre-warm-up set or what?

Thats standard for boiler room sets, they almost always have the crowd behind them, filmings are normally all guestlist only, so they're not paying to get in...... People from the crowd often just walk up to the dj etc.
There's some boiler room sets that are blatantly just in someones sitting room
Boiler room isn't a great example tbh, they're just promo sets filmed to look good online.......

Now you mention it, they are all like that, eh?Thats standard for boiler room sets, they almost always have the crowd behind them, filmings are normally all guestlist only, so they're not paying to get in...... People from the crowd often just walk up to the dj etc.

Sorry guys, nothing new here
I watched most of Objeckt's night on Boiler room the other night - very enjoyable. The girl doing the kick drum orientated techno was playing very hypnotic sounds that seemed to be mainly kick drums with effects... Also listened to some of the recent gabba night which was ok, though the comments in the chat were tearing apart some of the earlier DJ's ...

Recent gabber night?
Do tell......
I know they've had panacea, limewax and someone else (i cant remember), but thats more heavy heavy dnb.... I didn't know BR had gone full gabber.
Otto Von Schirach is probably on of my favourites, there's costume changes and everything.

Yes indeed.
The comments posted underneath by viewers on members of the audience behind the DJ (s) make me smile sometimes!
Yes, this was her. SOS Gunver Ryberg.

Grischa Lichtenberger's set was good as well - very atmospheric and quite wonky.

Good job the DJs can't see behind them sometimes, they'd never keep a straight face.
I don't know how they cope with the people who crowd right up to the decks either.

not for long
They do - they also have a lot of shite sets - so a thread highlighting ones to check would be a fab idea.
