I saw him last night in Nijmegen and he was fantastic! (on a par with his set at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor in '99, for those that remember that one). I heard from a few people that were at both gigs that his Paradiso was indeed a lot more banging, according to some because Shinedoe before him played harder than Zero One did at the Nijmegen show? Anyway, Zero One built it up perfectly for Rob Hood who spun a great set, including a few hiphop tracks that went down quite well. The thing that always amazes me about Rob's sets is that some of the techno tracks he plays are so repetitive they could almost be loops, yet they never become boring because they're groovy as hell. Otto, who wishes more DJs would appreciate that a groove is more than just repetition.
