I thought Youngsta was ok (tho not amazing) but N Type just played towards that abrasive almost metally stuf for sure...
i'll be there. blackdown's album launch, the day after my birthday... kind of morally wrong not to

bandz ahoy
To me Spongebob should work as a mixing tool within a set because it's an explosion of energy. Unfortunately it's such an explosion of energy that people seem to think it's a good idea to have whole sets comprising of nothing BUT Spongebob. I suppose it is a good idea if you just want hyped up people screaming for a reload the whole time.

Interesting observations on SF. I feel a bit differently about it though.
It depends a lot on who is throwing the party and the space it is in.
I always feel a stronger connection between the music and the people at the smaller events.
Quest and Silkie were received really well here in (SF) although the crowd was small - the vibe anc connection were there.

Precisely. Part of what excites me about being SF in a couple of weeks is tha what I'm going to hear is that I'm going to hear that redefinition that comes from a core scene that have chosen to tweak in new directions (see Matty G, Dub-U and DJG as examples).
Blessed be the internet for then I can get my rinsefm sets and go straight to the heart, but I'm just as intrigued by those mutations defined by distance and space that create brand new original sounds (last four words yelled ala mc gq).
I see what you're saying. Sadly though, I've heard very little from the US that stands up to what I've come to expect from UK/Euro acts, Starkey being an exception. Too many poor Coki-ripoffs, which is strange considering how much there is to take influence from; Detroit, Chicago, New York... a lot of it remains untapped. Such a shame.

How was it?
I think that really says what I've been saying about the changes in dubstep's general demographic better than anything else. not that this is a criticism at all. also strange that after all my grumbling, i've actually been enjoying dubstep more lately than i have in a long time, too. re blackdown's launch i, unfortunately, missed it. had a blinding headache last night which came on just as i was about to step out. i'm trusting it went well, though.

wtf?
it was really good
joker and oneman were brilliant
blackdown sounded good aswell, but unfortunately i had to leave half way through his set. some deep vibes though, very earthy

how many times did you pull up those dnb riddims mate?! lol.i really enjoyed it! my crew stupidly spent too long in mangal 2 gawking at gilbert and george and didn't arrive til oneman had finished (learning the lesson of how to 'do' sunday fwds: turn up at 9, not 11.30). caught the end of joker and all of dusk and blackdown though, great stuff. was it just me or was the (brilliant) joker playing some of the most grotesquely male rusko-esque drubstep as his final tune(s)?
i booked joker to do a 'wonky' set, and then spent the next the next three months having to remind him of the no-wobble policy.
it became a kind of battle, where he asked before, during and towards the end of, if he could end his set with ten minutes of wobble. when it came to his last tune i gave in...

I think a combination of grimey / wonky gear and wobble could work quite well!

That sounds pretty good to me, actually. It's only when it goes on for hours on end that it gets overly predictable and boring and I give up and go for a drink.
I saw 2562 recentlyish and he was ace but after the DJ before him had played an hour of clever minimal stuff and he'd played two hours of clever minimal stuff, when the dj after came on with some clever minimal stuff I'd actually have been quite glad if someone had put on Cockney Thug. Compare with (say) the DSF awards night where I spent a couple of hours getting deep to Antisocial and yourself and then went downstairs to finish the night with half an hour of mindless boshing to Caspa and Rusko. Everyone's a winner.
