Despite a few unexpected complications, Saturday night was a great little get-together. A bunch of good friends and new acquaintances getting on and getting down. Me and bru, kept it eclectic for the first couple of hours with Disco Jesus taking it up a couple of gears and teacakes taking us home with a killer selection of his own editsand some exclusive newness. Overall it was an intimate yet heavy opening session with all the deejays managing to take the dancefloor down that narrow path between music they knew and grooves they couldn’t deny, it was especially good to see mister mixtape applying the same attention to detail to his live mix as is clearly at work in his 90 minute analog epics. Speaking of which-disco jesus’ latest mix has recently surfaced (via a shady set of underworld connections and complicated deals with untraceable middlemen)-it’s pretty indicative of the selection he played saturday-so if you were unable to make it down (or even if you did) take a little time out this week, close you eyes and imagine you’re in a basement in east london listening to a great soundsystem surrounded your favourite people and you will be halfway to your very own ‘virtual basilika’.
