Digital Grafiti at Aruba Lounge on Thursday night was cooking! As cold as this winter has been so far, the Brothers Underground (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brothers-Underground/7496637978) duo of Tinus and Corné have managed to keep their evenings interesting and growing. The Brothers opened the evening with the first set. They played gentle Tech House, warming up the room. Aruba started to fill up and people started to get on the dancefloor.
Grant Van Rensburg (http://www.facebook.com/grant.vrensburg), one half of the Sound Sensible kids, took over from the Brothers and immediately moved into a more Nu Disco groove. He played a great set, getting people up onto their feet. The night was warmer than it had been over the last couple of weeks, and the crowd was up for a good party. By the end of Grant's set, the place was heaving nicely.
I took over from Grant and moved into Techno. The crowd was rocking and I was finding it easy to get them moving. I played some great new tracks from Dusty Kid, Spektre, Joseph Capriati, Funk D'void, Kiko and Carlo Lio. I really enjoyed my set, the crowd was a pleasure to play for, nice one!
Friday night I was supposed to go to Looney Tunes at the opening of the new club in the Marco Polo Casino, but I faded early as I was really tired. I completely missed it. Anybody go? Let me know what it was like in the comments.
Saturday night I was supposed to go to Truth to watch Brothers Underground and Deep Candy (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Deep-Candy/306763771370). I spent the afternoon at my friend Rob Dickens memorial service and was too tired to go out after that. There was a huge commotion about the goings on at Truth on Saturday. After the Brothers played a great set, Peter Abrahams took over and was playing old 90's house. The crowd took offense and one of the people there, known to me, switched off the power to the dj booth. What an extremely rude thing to do to a dj. There have been mutterings on Facebook that he deserved it, but still, these things should be handled in a better manor. Apparently none of the managers were there and so things were badly handled.
This week Thursday at Digital Grafiti you can catch LVS, James Damian and Brothers Underground, http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=116712611754972. Should be good fun! Catch you the dancefloor.
Shit first time I hear about the shenanigans at Truth, not cool hey!
ReplyDeleteYea, not cool to do that to a dj at all. People should speak to management if they have a complaint.
