> um, yeah. that would qualify as great. This is following on the heels of three free Retroverts parties, all of which had excellent lineups, including Mark Broom, Baby Ford, Guy Called Gerald, Blake Baxter, Oscar Mullero, Ben Sims, and umm... a lot of other people too. I think maybe Vince Watson at some point. Worth repeating... they were free. Ben Sims went out on a limb throwing these parties and the results were good. I only made it to the last one, and was completely sober on the weekend post-DEMF, and had trouble getting into it when surrounded by a bunch of happy kids going nuts - but the music was good and the Gerald/Baby Ford acid sets downstairs were really enthused with a jackin' crowd. They followed it up with a Tronic Treatment/Retroverts boat party last month, and now teamed with Flux (Chris Finke and Ryan Blackman - who both rock) they are poised to continue on solidly into the next year. If I have any criticism it's that the lineups are a bit same-y from one to the next, which was my same complaint about System last Winter. However, it is a constant source of quality techno talent and nothing to shake a stick at - and the introduction of Flux should help keep things even more diverse than the diversification they're showing already. I'll definitely be heading down to this one. Day after payday. :) Also, I've never seen Claude Young!!! It's cool that they'll be doing that house party, and that they've bucked the mold of one-style parties by throwing in healthy doses of acid and or house in these primarilly techno lineups. Gots to give 'em props. Tristan ======= Text/Mixes/Pics: http://www.phonopsia.co.uk Music: http://www.mp313.com Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
