Adam F / Craze

a drunken good time for all, despite the technical problems. The Mixologists rocked it too, can't wait to see em again at lotus next tuesday.

big up Spexx. and :moon: to the Commodore and their incompetent tech staff.

that night was seriously weird.

i had a good time, but fuck, can't the commodore at least get proper sound system ready to go? skibadee was talking about going back to the hotel like 10 mins into the show.

i was getting annoyed with the sound constantly cutting off on big drops.... but haha i remember adam f walking to the back where the speaker was, probably fixed it up while the underqualified commodore staff were clueless what was going on, and resumed the show without any significant problem with sound... hahha but my only complaint was the speakers were just blaring out loudass mids and highs and by the end of the night i couldnt hear shit all cuz i was so deaf. woulda been nice if they had a sound engineer who actually knew the sound system and set it right so it would sound good but also not cut out like that...

but on the good side skibadees rhymes were tight as FUCK! and his voice projected fuckin insanely well... he knows what hes doing to get the crowds moving. craze just blew me away, his drumnbass mixing was fun to watch and listen to and DAMN his 3 time world dmc champion skillz NEVER disapoints!!! DAMMMNNN!!!!! adam f seemed like he wasnt really into the performance, mainly cuz he was pissed off with the sound (i dont blame him). but he was pulling off some sick mixing skills (although it was hard to notice since he had like ZERO interaction with the crowd :n:) lotta dope dubs i've never heard before . the mixologist were fun. they rinsed out some awesome dubs but where was the uk dmc champion skills?! haha thats what i wanted to see!

but all in all after things got running again, i had a dope time although if the sound was working well, i'm sure the event woulda been one of the very best of the year. big respects to spexx for bringing them out to the big venue, but not much respects to the commodore sound staff.

nice seeing alotta people last night =) and finally getting the jacket back... hahaha

Yeah Commodore is such a nice venue.. you think they'd be capable of hiring sound tech's with SOME knowledge of the equipment. Ah well, shit happens.

Craze blew my fuckin mind! Wow.
That is all I have to say about that.

I think its safe to say that everyone had a good time? Cuz I know I did.

let me say that the saving grace of the night was skibadee's voice being loud and clear and rolling all night, and craze's mad tricks.

they were laid low by tech problems too, with only one set of decks working for their set, and even those had problems.....basically they spent there whole set trying to get the sound up and running for adam f and craze, a noble sacrifice that didn't pay off. also, the table the decks were on was pretty wobbly (though that didn't hold craze back much), and the monitors were horrid....it was pretty tricky mixing up there.

i talked with beni and go (mixologists) after and they said that they were really looking forward to making up for the shortcomings on tuesday, and there ain't no problems with the lotus sound (fingers crossed).

I really dont remember to much from this show except for drunkenly stumbling and jumping off stage , getting sacked in the nuts on stage in front of who knows how many people. good time.

To all the boys good job on the sets and for getting really really drunk, thats what i love coming home too.
