Arrived
at Gass about 12:00 and Dominic
Spreadlove was on the decks
with Ricky D on the MIC. Dominic
was playing a blend of House
and Garage (or Speed Garage
as it was once known) from
93 to 97 and it was a case
of tune after tune making
everyone dance and rave which
was complemented by the tight
mixing throughout the whole
set. It was tunes like Anytime
– Nu-birth, Just gets better
– TJR, What you want – Industry
Standard, and Control – MJ
Cole that brought back the
Memories and really made the
night what it was.
It
wasn’t really about the MC’s
it was all about the tunes
and at about 1:00 Sharky P
took over the MIC from Ricky
D and went about mcing his
normal way letting people
enjoy the tunes and chatting
lyrics when the time was right,
it was the same story with
Blakey just letting people
enjoy the tunes but at the
same time hyping them up.
B-Live made an appearance
during EZ’s set but wasn’t
mcing on the night just enjoying
the music like everyone else.
Most
of the hyping up was done
by the man himself and at
2:00 the time come for the
‘Master of Garage’ to step
up and by then the whole place
was rammed and you could tell
everyone had been waiting
for this set. EZ came in usual
style with one of his classic
intro tunes that got every
one going. What followed was
some of the best mixing I’ve
ever heard, he dropped about
5 tunes in the space of about
4 minutes and it was a mix
of old skool house and 4/4
garage. It was about tunes
like Show me love - Robin
S, Blues for You – Logic,
a few Todd’s and Tuff Jam,
in not so many words ‘EZ Smashed
it’. The thing that makes
EZ the best in the industry
is the absolute tightest mixing
you can get, they way that
he can drop a tune in and
make the crowd go mad and
get every single person in
the club to dance non stop
throughout the whole set,
Friday was just another showcase
of this mans ability.
Even
though it was very hot in
the club people managed to
stay cool and the attitude
of everyone in the club topped
the night off, everyone was
just dancing and enjoying
the selection I saw no fights,
no arguments and no people
standing around screwing.
The only bloodshed was when
someone received an elbow
to the face by somebody dancing
which was an accident.
I’m
definitely going to the next
Memories very, very heavy
night.
