DJ: Guest: 027: Autonomy – 02-August 2008
This was my first night DJing Autonomy, that started a run of a few years of me being “resident guest” at the night.
I’ve been DJing at other events and private parties almost as long as I’ve run my own nights. It’s fun, it provides something different, and has made me a whole load of new friends and contacts, not to mention discovering so much new music.
This was my first night DJing Autonomy, that started a run of a few years of me being “resident guest” at the night.
DJing at Devastator was great fun – a reasonable turnout and a fair number of enthusiastic punters made for DJ sets that weren’t as challenging as I had first thought they might be. Although it was interesting to note the differences to the Sheffield crowd, with a marked slant towards Death Metal and Thrash more […]
Genotype last night was good fun.
Last night was utterly, utterly insane. In all of the best possible ways. DJing at the Wendyhouse 10th Birthday last night provided me with one of the biggest buzzes of my life, and nearly floored me in the process, as many of you who saw me inbetween DJ sets will attest. The metal room seemed […]
.Sideshow Symphonies last night was interesting. Everything was running rather late, so I got home later than I would have liked, but with me having pretty much free reign to play what I wanted, I decided to go in a particular direction…
Probably one of my favourite DJ sets ever, this was the Jim Henson Judder. So everyone dressed as Muppets. And Fraggles.
A second August visit to SyN.
Modulate made their live debut, and I was asked to DJ the night.
Redshift last night was an interesting experience. The turnout wasn’t bad – a good mix of leedsgoths and further afield, with a few “normals” mixed in that appeared to look somewhat uneasy. DJing was a little tough in trying to find a happy medium to please everyone, but at least with my set I think […]
As it happens, last night was far more fun than I had perhaps feared. Yes, both myself and Organica played some real cheese, but it was damned good fun playing to a different audience than the norm. Thanks to all that came down, and great to see a number of people that I have not […]
Last night at Dark Matter was great fun. It was really quite busy, too, which always helps. Thanks to Raziel for inviting me along, it was a blast.
Corp was an utter blast, even if was nearing totally wasted by the end of my second set (and to my shame not realising ’til today that I played one song twice). Oops. Thanks to all that came along to support me.
The Batfink Midsummer Nightmare last night was damned good fun, with a great-looking turnout (both in numbers and in how they all looked), loads of people I’d not seen in ages, and a few people I had not met before, either…and the only downside being not enough time to catch up with them all!
…onto Judder for a good five hours plus of madness – then sleep, food and a wander ’round town, then back up to Sheffield at nearly the corresponding time that we left at yesterday.
Aside from a few technical issues, it was good fun – although I still can’t get used to the almost total darkness of the venue!
Last night’s late finish was thanks to my guest DJ slot at Resurrected in Leeds. As it turned out, it was a pretty good night. Having never been to The George before, and despite being warned, I was still surprised over just how small (and dark!) it actually is. Nice place though, and good to […]
it was a quick dash through the late evening onto Quarantine, where the turnout was pretty good, as it goes, for 3ulogy’s live appearance. What did surprise me first off was that the Hubs venue seems better suited to live bands than club nights – the cavernous rooms do nothing for club sound, as I […]
Malice In Wonderland at The Nelson last night was more than a little strange. A good turnout – with many different people from the norm – some real effort gone into by the organisers (I was only helping out by DJing!), and more than anything it was pretty good fun. With a slightly different emphasis […]
The night is a slightly odd one – a mix of rocksoc people, other students and indie kids – so I got the chance to play a few things I have not played in a long time! The attendence is still probably below what is needed, but better than I have seen. Now the flyers […]
The turnout was way higher than I had expected, to be totally honest, which was great. The bands went down well, despite a somewhat ropey sound – especially for 3ulogy, whose set seemed an experimental one and also somewhat subdued. Although their power live still far outstrips anything they have recorded thus far. Neon Zoo […]
