Its like Tristan and Rob said, Space base is about disco /funk and your influences, its not LOST and DM being booked to play was getting me all excited and he came and played techno & house....:O/
At least when Mills played he get in the spirit of it and plays loads of disco, mixed very badly I must point out. He has the problem of thinking he is playing techno and can't leave the records alone, and tries to mix for to long with un beat synced records ha-ha. I saw DM Play a really good house/disco set years ago at the original Plastic People when it was on Oxford Street (central London) on a Thur. night and boy he killed it and that's what I was hoping we were going to get, but we didn't. That was about 10 years ago though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 February 2006 10:47 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: (313) RE: Derrick May I couldn't disagree more ! I find that his Spacebase sets are usually quite messy. His selections are O.K but the level of DJing usually moves up a notch when the guest comes on. I loved that Mills Spacebase set too! I do agree on this though ... ... Bring on the weekly sessions Joy! :o) "Paul Kendrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[email protected]> .com> cc: Fax to: 20/02/06 09:06 Subject: RE: (313) RE: Derrick May 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.
