How was everyone's New Year?!

[kningl]

Mine was spent at Giant Village in LA, absorbing the mixing mastery of a certain John Digweed while getting way too trashed...
Blissful, nevertheless...

Diggers on New Years would be awesome ...or Danny Howells ...or James Zabiela. I had the pleasure of the latter.

Went into Space in Sydney early on, caught an up close and techo toys demo and chit chat with Zabiela before the gig started, then got three hours of the fookin' man going spaz with the EFX1000 and pulling out one absolutely phenomenal track after another. Even better than the last time he was in the country.

Oh. Did I mention that while having a chinwag James he gave me the last-minute okay to record his midnight New Years Eve set? So I jumped in a cab, quick ride back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to get my DAT recorder and then back to the club.. cable up and he started a few minutes later. Thankyou very much James.

After that excellent evening I got some shut-eye, then on NYD I hung out with mates, boozing and ..err.. whatnot to some more local and international talent at Sounds.

Between all this my two flatmates (and best friends) got engaged, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to say this is one of the best possible ways to start the year.

Woo!

Re: How was everyone's New Year?!

Well to be brutaly honest the pub i went to was a total let down. The landlord did fuck all to bring the new year in apart from turn the telly on at about 10 seconds to twelve so we could here Big Ben chimming. No build, no atmosphere no fuck all. He then put on a reggae cd which tipped me over the edge so we all fucked off to my mates house and got very messy. It was going to be our plan to have a party at his but we decided to go out instead.. wrong decision! Still, we made goood the night after that.

Mine was pretty quiet - in their infinite wisdom the English FA decided to make Liverpool play their home game against Chelsea at mid-day (the Fuckers). The last thing you want is a monster hanger when 45,000 people are shouting.

So I've saved a few ???'s for Diggers Bedrock tour instead !

Had a wonderful NY @ bOA in T.O. listening to the likes of David Morales, Tom Stephan, Saeed Young, Chus & Cellabos, etc. Must say that the music was consistently brilliant all night, however wasn't too pleased about the venue. For those of us who wanted to hit the piss, the club made it incredibly hard. But all that aside, had great company and great music so i really couldn't ask for a better way to bring in 2005.
