I didn't even know there was a McDonalds there until you dragged me to the drive through! :)

 

Back to real life, it was a good day all round. Big up Tom for working so hard on it. Met lots of of nice new people and of course Foly and Fidel were on top form and top fellas to boot.

 

It was cool speaking to other DJs there who were at the same point a lot of us SSS fools were all at a once before - as in, getting into a but of a rut always cutting on their own, but reinvigorated to meet other people and find motivation and inspiration from it. It's more fun with your mates!

 

Top pizzas at the venue too FWIW

foly and fidel cutstro's set was wicked

It was indeed!

 

For somebody like myself, who's far more into the musical side of things, it was just what I want to hear. I always bang on about skills being pointless if you don't know how and when to deploy them, and those guys nailed it.

That was dope - I really liked it

 

Thats such a classic loop at the start of the showcase -I dont think id ever get bored of hearing it cut up by good DJs like what Foly and Castro so obviously are

 

Random trainspotter question below

 

Was that the begining of "Solinas " by the Jedi Knights that appears at around 11.20 in

the set btw ?

 

For me on a personal level and speaking as an old Funk head it is really good to hear a set like that where DJs are carrying things forward from the past and still making it sound totally relevent

 

Good luck with the future nights you are promoting fellas

Foly mate, I said I liked what you did on the night, but thanks to Tom recording the audio properly, I'm really really impressed with it now! Some of the subtleties weren't coming through as strong as you were performing thing on the speakers in the venue, but I watched it back last night and you really nailed it. The samples you've chosen to cut over the loops were spot on too and tastefully cut all the way through.
