Its all about Bicknell for me at Space base, because his techno sets are lacking skills to say the least, but when he puts a disco/funk set together he really comes alive...
I've missed 2 space bases but from the ones I've been to Bicknell out played all the other djs- that's mills , may and Slater..

It was a Lost Spacebass, which they do every so often at Plastic People - soon to be weekly on Fridays. It started out with Jeff Mills, Luke Slater and Steve Bicknell as a sorta-Xmas party at the Bridge & Tunnel for £5. They all played funk, disco and house. It was dope. Since then they've done it with a lot of their regular guests - basically Mills and the Belleville Three. The idea is that the guests will all play great stuff from the past, be it house, techno, funk, soul, disco - whatever. Derrick May basically turned out a modern house set, which while good in it's own right didn't really fit the bill. It will be interesting to see how the weekly turns out and who the guests are.
