Last Saturday was the night of full moon. So we went out. I and my squat brothers. One of them, Anton, have been invited by his old time Lithuanian mates, to play on the event. The Datablender squat event. I was also invited to play, but I refused in order to take a closer look, for the first time visit of the venue. Because, you never know, what kind of squat you will see if you don`t know the people. The quality of sound system is very important to me too. I won’t waste any of my time on a bad sound, I rather stay at home and listen 8 bit music collection from 10 years ago. So, we made up our trip from North London squat, to South London squat. Night Brixton is wonderful, full of all kind of events. Especially, dancehall and so called black music, but our one was different. We easily have found the location by the bassline pumping out from wood boarded windows of an ex-pub. The place was lovely! Comfortable bar room with kind Japanese stuff and sofas. Dark dancefloor with two pillars of speakers taller than me. And VIP chillout upstairs. Very cosy! All starts from techno and retro electro by my mate Anton and slighty turns to harder sound from Lithuanian dj Saga and Co. Eventually, I get stoned more and more and music became more funny for me. Until Japanese djs comes to control. They made most of this sound system. They blast it up with real tekno and hardcore sounds. Usually I`m not big fan of such kind of music, but in that atmosphere it’s really get me! Thanks to my Sennhiser headphones I have saved my ears from total destructions. The same people who was kindly help me with Japanese studies, was raging mad on a decks. It was fine to me. Energy flow like in thunder lights storm. And all was really positive! No freaky gate crashers. Free drinks later on, when bar stuff gets busy dancin’ and playin’. Prefect match for Saturday night! Real underground movement. I like it! Big respect to the people who managed such club kind of squat activity. You can visit their web on datablender.net Next time don`t miss it if you are in London town. Feel the difference from commercial club factories. Dread Out.
P.S. I wondering to make an tekno set as well, with elements of noise and breacore. 🙂
