[ClubtheWorld Review] Convergence, 17th Jan 2003

[Wub Wub]

Not more Hard House. Well, if you insist....

 

I spent a good hour beforehand chatting to the bouncers in Fridge bar next door, which meant I was moved straight to the front of the queue, and consequently was the sixth person into Convergence. Nice.

 

After making my prescence known to the rest of the CTWers, it was done to some serious boshing action. The main room (a colossal space) was heaving by 10:30pm, and the beats were dutifully supplied by the larger-than-life hard trance god that is Spencer Freeland. Synth riff and snare drum combined to get the party started.

 

Elsewhere, the second room played a less-hard sound, with the wonderful Miss Tara Reynolds () laying down the building blocks for a skyscraper of a set.

 

At this point, I was required to look after several of the worse for wear CTWers (coughShenlongcoughAmeliacough). Not that it bothered me, but I was gone for quite some time and thus re-emerged into the main room in order to catch Karim laying down an absolutely brutal hard mix, possibly one of the hardest I've ever heard. I can tell a good set because I know I don't own of the tracks myself.

 

BK followed in much the same fashion, as did the wonderful Phil Reynolds. The latter receiving the response of the night as he teased in his own P.O.S. 51. It was left to the king/queen of hard house himself, Andy Farley to wrap up proceedings.

 

Now, hearing Andy Farley play is special. Hearing him play drum and bass is better, and hearing him do three encores is simply mind blowing. Full marks to him, as he kept the dance floor heaving til the end.

 

As for the night as a whole, I was surprised to do a hard house event clean, but it is a stern testimont to the sheer energy that Frantic events exude that I was able to do so.

 

Put me down for the next one!
