    So Excited for Tonight!

    Currently counting down the minutes until I head out tonight. To start off the night...

    6pm - Gui Boratto
    8pm - Henry Saiz

    Both are playing live in the courtyard at chinese laundry. Will be great to have a few g+ts in the late afternoon sun watching both of them play. Then come 10pm when henry finishes, we're walking up to tank - one of sydneys most poorly utilised venues, a great club which has seen nothing but rnb & electro house nights for the last 3-4 years. We'll be going to see...

    12am - Way Out West (also playing live)
    1am - John Digweed!!!!

    This is the first time I'll get to see diggers play in a club. I saw him a year or two ago when he played at a festival, but it really wasn't the right setting for him. If memory serves, he played from 6-730pm, the sound was poor, and a bunch of people around me were saying things like 'who the hell is this guy?'. He's playing the same festival again this year, but I decided that it would be a sideshow or nothing for me. Thankfully the promoters finally came through for sydney!

    Diggers is scheduled to play through to 4am, but as the night doesn't finish until 6am, and the promoters have left the 4-6 slot blank, I'm hoping that the crowd will inspire him to stay behind the decks. Will hopefully have some photos & video to add to the thread in the next day or two.

              That's a pretty inspired day of music !

              This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                Have to say, that was one of my best nights out ever. Gui was a lot of fun, his music really suited the sunset time slot he was playing, and was a perfect intro for saiz. I missed henry the last time he was here, and so was pretty excited to finally see him, and he didn't disappoint. The crowd went pretty nuts when he finished with his 'reckoner' remix, which I didn't expect to hear, and was definitely a highlight of the night.

                Robbie Lowe (a sydney local) did a great warmup set for WOW. Of everyone was playing that night, I was least familiar with WOW, but they were fantastic as well. Digweed started off playing boring some boring tech house which had me a bit worried, and put me off a bit, considering that I was looking forward to seeing him most of anyone that night. Luckily though he turned it around and started playing some great music, and stayed behind the decks until a bit before 5.

                Overall it was a fantastic night out, but my legs really paid for it the next day

                  Oh yeah, saiz also played a (his?) remix of xpander which was another song I wasn't expecting to hear.

                  Edit: just one more favourite moment of diggers would have to be saints & sinners - pushin too hard', absolutely amazing hearing that!

                    Looking forward to checking out Henry Saiz at Ministry in London, in a few weeks.

                    Saiz, has remixed Xpander ! Nice. That Reckoner remix is awesome.
