kompakt @ fabric sat nov 1st / sidewinder feat. dizzee @ ocean nov 8th

what happened Anna?

Yeah Dave it was Semtex, half decent "great modern hiphop classics" DJ set with all the words in them and Dizzee shouting "yeah Dublin" occasionally.

He rapped Fix Up Look Sharp over something else at the end, and it was frustratingly great, but he maybe did 10 minutes continuous rapping other than that. I don't know, maybe he was drunk or nervous, but it was a crushing disappointment and I didn't pay. There were so many disgusted people afterwards and I don't blame them.

Does he play with Wylie and or have people re-produce his beats live?

Oh this is ages ago when they kept me outside for over two hours (when the club was empty), meaning a missed both my interview slots and had two half pages of blank magazine to fill. The door staff were rude, thick and aggressive (even by bouncer standards). I didn't have it as bad as the two guys from the BBC behind me. They were supposed to be doing a live broadcast that was supposed to start at some point in the second hour of us waiting. I would also like to point out that this was a charity event, and the organisers were standng inside wondering where all the people were.

they're not normally like that anna, one of my very best mates works there - i've just mailed you with something re this, so have a look, it may help in future.

Thanks Dave. This was about two years ago now, my hatred of Fabric is just a slightly mental personal obsession. Ignore me everyone. Sorry Tobes, didn't mean to derail your thread.

nice one,i was pissed off about missing dizzee rascal and going to see frank bretschneider instead,looks like i made the right decision though

I'm very happy for you, heh.
