Yet no problems here! As this is not a regular night on the calendar it is usually more then well attended even if sometimes the venue don’t open the doors until 10.45…not very together, you might say!

But that’s ok. The wait was well worth it. The place decorated with a lot of care and attention. Bright UV colours throughout. The chill out room was a feast of reds, oranges and yellows looking down from the ceiling in a sort of matrix-like arrangement of strings, fabrics and images. It had a tea stall with light refreshments served all night by friendly staff.

Yeah! all the peeps from the security onwards were mellow. That’s got to be one of the main advantages of this venue and why it’s so popular with underground peeps at the moment, while main stream clubs still try to lure us into their pseudo-underground parties. But who is duped these days? Definitely not this crew of DJs and their mates..

The main room was happy throughout the night and sometimes left the chill out room partially empty for the first hours of the night. The music was consistent and I’d like to mention “Error Collective” who didn’t disappoint and kept it close to the groin with the intensity of their set. Carlos Santan who was deep, dark and dirty and the roller coaster ride continued with the likes of Jamie Robinson who was impressive, Spiney also tickled my ear drums with his lively brand of soulful psy trance.

The entire psy trance spectacle was excellent with some interesting samples taken from heavy metal bands like Led Zeppelin and Lynard Skynard with the odd soupcon of punk-gothic…
The one thing that puzzled me was why there weren’t any copies on sale of the new album on the night? I know I wasn’t the only one interested in acquiring a copy. It later transpired that in a typically hippy fashion there were problems with the final mastering hence no records then but they should be here now. Long live underground!
