Report: Hernan, Steve Lawler & Dj Chus @ Dubai
This weekend had all elements to be one of high quality as it marks my 5th wedding anniversary and we had Hernan, Steve & Dj Chus in Dubai and defo the 3 of them can rock any party.
Before I start my report, I have a confession to make, recently I’ve been one of the critics of Steve Lawler, Unfortunately that most of the sets I got my hands on did not really work for me, but man I must have been getting the wrong sets coz he destroyed the place and reminded me of Steve Lawler that I loved in the lights out days.
The event was Peppermint ( which used to be a regular club nite few years back) 6th anniversary, however now they organize one-off nights every now and then, this event took place in Dubai WTC convention center, so big hall with lots of space. The wife and I arrived at 11:15 to find a massive hall (I guess it can take up to 2500) with 25% capacity only filling the place, Dj Chus was working things out.
Dj Chus, playing the trademark of Chus & Ceballos, triple house mixing with vocals, drums and all sort of Jungle sounds, it was great. Vishal (FunkyKarma) showed up as well as couple of other hundred clubbers.
About 11:45 Dj Chus started to take the music into the next level and the crowd loved it (Dubai clubbing crowed is the worst thing about last night) and I saw Hernan @ the back stage. I was personally expecting Steve Lawler to take over from DJ Chus as he can defo build strong head fuck triple shit on what Dj Chus started, but to our surprise, Hernan came on at 12.
It’s always good to see Hernan, he is such a talented DJ and have this unique sound, also from my discussion with him one time he seemed like a nice guy and very down to earth. Last night his set was great, again the trademark of Hernan, Deep, melodic with lots of sounds…etc, but it did not fit very well with what Dj Chus was doing just before him, but he through couple of killer tracks (I am not a transporter, but I am sure Vish can answer this Q) by this time the place was full and I found Dj Chus next to us on the dance floor, had a quick chat with him and showed my appreciation for his set and the superb music production with Ceballos , indeed the discussion included the Big Q, who will win the world cup ? and he got his money on Spain as you might expect
Hernan was doing what he do best, then at 1:20 Steve Lawler came on the back stage and his manager was getting his gear ready, hernan was playing a tune from John digweed recent EMix.
Now, I have to stop here, coz last time I saw Steve Lawler was back in Global Gathering 2004 @ the Bedrock arena, and he rocked the place like no Tomorrow, but as I mentioned in my intro, most of the sets I got from the internet as of last was not really up to what I used to hear from Steve. So I was really excited about his set, but was not sure what to expect.
His First Track started with male voice saying “Lights out” and an amazing light, lazier and percussion sound blended all together for 1 min into and then base kicked in and the place went NUTTS, what an intro, I had this shivers, I could not believe it. From this moment on he played some of most dirty, sexy, triply sounds I heard in long time the 1 ½ he played we incredible ….. Amazing is an understatement.
The four of us were dancing nonstop till the end of the party (3:00 AM) at one point around 2:30 I was kind of tired, but the music was so good I could not leave, I felt that I might miss out, so I kept dancing till 5 min before the end and even when the wife and I went out we were still dancing.
All in all great night indeed, it’s always great to meet Vishal, Top guy and thanks to Dj Chus, Hernan & Esp thanks to Steve Lawler who made my 5 anniversary unforgettable.
