The Warehouse Project

How was the previous weekends warehouse project?

It was prime cuts of the finest fucking BEEF!

I'd manged to grab a ticket to last weekends project, the line up was sizzling, a collection of the best DJ's you cxan find spinning vinyl, twisting knobs and nudging CD's:

When me and my good friend Omar arrived at the venue, we had unfortunately missed DJ Mehdi and A trak, The Ting Tings and Andro. It was a shame but we had already been out having a couple of drinks to get ourselves ready for to some serious beats.

we moved past the sniffer dog and through the curtain, to be presented by an underground cavern ot booms and bleeps, we had fallen into the last fifteen minutes of The Whip, who were, excellent. I' wish i had been there earlier for them, as they had the crowd hammering away.

Simian Mobile Disco were an essesntial for me, i need to see them. It was one of the main reasons why i wanted to go. They did not disappoint in any way at all.

Slammed right up at the front, me and Gareth jumped in time to the sways of the crowd and the beats of the tracks, everything in the back catalogue of SMD was played, hearing Sleep Depravation and hustler, with what I think was a remix of LCD Soundsystems "Get Innoccous", i think its was the Soulwax rremix of the track but don't hold me to that.

People were grabbing onto the back of me to jump higher, i was doing to the same to the person infront, all you could see was a sea of hands pounding to each bite of the electro fodder. It was immense.

Digitalism were next, but i'm not a huge fan, so this was time for a cigarette break and ear re conditioning. we sat outside underneath a parasol talking bollocks about music with strangers and arguing about Goldeneye. It was freezing but the buzz and the atmosphere kept away the cold.

i caught the last fifteen minutes of Digitalism. Although i'm not a really big fan, they played their remix of The Cures classic track, Fire In Cairo. As soon as i heard it, i jumped into the crowd, screaming "fucking tune", as the person next to me shouted in agreement; " fucking come on". i bounced with this total stranger, the pair of us dancing like a pair of tarts in a working mens disco hall.

Ivan Smagghe was next, and as Gareth will hate me for saying it, it wa the most boring part of the night. I don't enjoy minimal, it really bores me, and it becomes hard work to stay awake when im listening to it. Omar stated he listens to it when he goes to sleep, i think that statement sums up how i felt about it. Although the last ten minutes of his set was kicked up a notch with some classic acid house that got the crowd prepped for...

Vitalic

It couldn't have come at a better time, Vitalic hit the stage liek a depth charge bursting through a submarine hull. i was in the middle of the crowd, all you could feel was the sweat of the person behindyou, while you slammed your hands in the air and bounced, literally bounced to the bass of the tracks.

Vitalic did not drop in quality throughout the whole of the set. He played classics such as La Rock, My Friend Dario and plenty of others. Hearing the roar of the crowd as La rock came through the speakers for the first time was intense. He had the crowd in the palm of his hand, he could have told us to jump and we would all scream how high.

i'll be making an appearance at the New Years Day line up of the project, for those who don't know who's playing, have a gander below:
