Went and saw the Pubas/DJ Assault show in LA on tuesday night...very very fun. Paris was on first and he ROCKED it with a killer techno/electro set. Went from 4onthefloor to electro and back with much deftness. Caught some advent tracks, speedy j, technasia...was great. Anyway he played this track (before technasia's 'force') that was 4/4 kicks, bit of bongos, a deep bassline, and a killer xylophone melody on top, and not much else. After the show I asked him what it was (he was VERY polite and cool...very very inspiring) and he said it was a white label he picked up used and had no info on. Anyway if anybody could spot it i'd be much obliged. After paris it was Assault, and well if paris made me wanna go home and play records, Assault made me wanna go home and sell my gear and just give up ;) I mean I understand how he's doing all those doubles tricks, but I don't know that I'll ever be able to do that. As for the music, it was pretty crazy. Booty, House, Electro, Jungle...all jammed together at 150+ bpm. It's wierd hearing stuff like 'no way back', 'groove la chord' and the may remix of 'jaguar' played that fast...takes a while for the brain to realize what it is. Toefinger came on last and basically cleared the floor with old funky disco stuff (started with 'don't stop till u get enough') It was great stuff but we had all been wrecked by the 4 hours of banging stuff and we were hungry so we went to pinks and went home.
