I have a spare ticket if anyone is interested. I'll need to know in the next hour though! I'll be heading down around 11.00 to 11.30 pm, so I'd need to meet in the shoreditch area around then.

PM me on here if you're interested.

I wasn't there but it was probably DJ Pete/Substance. He did a pretty boring RA podcast with lots of older dubstep tracks.

yeah he was billed so i was looking fwd to some deep grainy dubby techno and then he played some older skream track etc, wasn't quite right.

Sleeparchive was really enjoyable though.

sleeparchive was wicked for a bit, made plastic people feel strangely tropical for such incredibly cold music

what was mark ernestus playing?

The boring dubstep set was DJ Pete.

Mark Ernestus's final set was great, all modern dancehall version sides. Crisp, synthetic productions. He didn't really get the crowd rocking, but it was a million times more interesting than someone coming over from Berlin just to play dubsteo and minimal techno.

get what you're saying but reducing dancehall to a kind of techno by leaving out the vocal cuts and juggling seems a bit weird to me

Oh yeah, fair point. Shed an interesting light on the way he listens, though.

It wasn't an amazing evening, really, but it was kind of unusual.

I was pretty gutted I couldn't make this but all reviews I've read make out it was pretty lacklustre, which is a shame as all 3 are great acts/dj's on their day. We had Pete over a couple of weeks ago in Manc and he was ace.

I don't think what Mark does with the 7's is/was in anyway intended to reduce dancehall to a type of techno though, him and Moritz pretty much always play versions like that, although I suppose usually they have Tiki on hand to fill in the gaps.

I absolutely loved his final set, but have no idea what any of those records were or where to begin. Could you point me in the right direction?
