Was Gleave - Gleave Dobbin? If so he is ace, what did you all think? He lives about 20mins from me and he is massive over here, hes been on the seen for years but is finally getting some exposure in mainland Uk. He has bi-monthly residency at turnmills, is doing the serious tour, played passion a few times and garlands. He was the man behind Coast2Coast "Home" if anyone remembers that track.

i think its the same guy as andy was saying he was big in irland

Did you hear him play?

Yeah... to be honest i thought he was awful

I didn't think he was awful. But his set had a bit of an "anthems" feel to it ... very play-safe and directionless...

 

A lot of tunes that were "reasonable" or even "very very good" in themselves, but not very varied in style. Also some of the tracks were far too minimal considering he pretty much let them play to the end.

 

So I'd say it was a triumph of decent-enough tunes over actual DJing skill. I'm sure he could have been better if he had been a bit more ambitious/daring with his track selection!

^ BTW don't get me wrong Liam ... he did play a few absolute crackers!

 

I wish I had a tracklisting for his set so I could find out what some of the tracks were called ... he played some really chunky techy stuff that was right up my street.

I couldnt go What was Andy B's set like, have been hearing excellent things from him when he plays at Passion....

Dont worry Andy, im not his agent lol! Just wanted to hear how it went for him.

 

Am quite suprised though, He isnt usually a "play safe DJ"

Although he did play a few corkers, they were all well known BIG tunes. i think i just didnt like 90% of what he played. it was really boring.

Judge Jules was fucking awful too.

 

Andy Bagguely was great, although ive seen him do better.

Si Patterson was also good, but he was better last month.

Jules was crap

so was dobbin.

 

but by the time jules was on i'd found something else to interest me so i wasn't too gutted

Same with Jules, shite mixing but come on - he dropped some fucking awesome tunes!!!

 

Maybe it was me - i was fucked and would have danced to anything.
