Also, I'm thinking of (freestyle) salsa dancing tomorrow night on Drury Lane if anyone's interested.

i'm also swearing right now that the next time villalobos is at fabric i'm going (yeah, i know he played like 3 weeks ago, but i couldn't make that).

toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 08:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Both those Fabrics look good, as does August Bank Holiday action (also please note: that is my birthday weekend). Am still in post-Sonar post-Wimbledon quiet mode for the next few days though.

The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 13:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Goddamn. I would so be up for Salsa action tomorrow night. Sadly I shall be editing MTV and VH1 schedules all evening. Kerrap.

I would very much like to spend all summer dancing.

Hmm. Who is going to the Mayer/Ada Fabric thing on Saturday?

There is also a Run the Road night on Friday, it does not look as good as the last one but maybe that is because I've heard the Roll Deep album now. Still, Crazy Titch! Sov!

weirdest sight of the weekend for me: The Glimmers at Wireless playing 'ROCKS' BY PRIMAL SCREAM and everyone one in the tent going bonkers.

Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 11:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Mayer + Ada = maybe. I am vvvv tired from last weekend and have a mate's 30th to go to beforehand, but I might come along afterwards.

charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 12:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm giving up dancing to concentrate on joining a lonely dorks column.

haha daniel wang

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:32 (eighteen years ago) link

that looks awesome!

of more immediate interest: on sep 9, that's NEXT FRIDAY, we have VITALIC at Fabric (with 2manyDJs and Soulwax Nite Versions too), who's up for it?

The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:36 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm going to that soulwax one..

should be fun.. looking forward to seeing vitalic live.

jellybean (jellybean), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:39 (eighteen years ago) link

my lord the oct 22nd one is billed as 10pm-10am!

I am up for Vitalique! but you know this, Alex. Also diplo is in the 7th oct, not so sure though as I am quite scared of fabriclive and that's the beginning of term for me.

spontine (cis), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:46 (eighteen years ago) link

10pm-10am!!!!

cis, oct 7 is the return of forget about the sugar, I forgot this the other day but I am sure my boyfriend will be back in town soon. I will play some baile funk funk carioca for you!

(also on sep 20 - am djing at 93ft east again)

The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:48 (eighteen years ago) link

But but but there is a dj at fabricplo called 'macpherson', surely this is you in your breakbeat disguise?

...oh argh and I am doing Smagghe on sep 24th as well (dudes! come and dance with me!), I might as well just set up camp in farringdon.

(yay!)

spontine (cis), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:53 (eighteen years ago) link

10am! i didn't notice that.

i think i am sadly v unlikely to be at fabric this friday. what's the deal with these nite versions btw? i heard the version of "krack" the other day and it sounded amazing - is it like a remix album or something?!

toby (tsg20), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:56 (eighteen years ago) link

where is smagghe on the 24th? not that i can go, anyway, i think.

toby (tsg20), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:57 (eighteen years ago) link

did any of the rest of you think that smagghe was a bit disappointing in july, btw?

toby (tsg20), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:58 (eighteen years ago) link

omg I'm djing at fabricplo and I didn't even realise.

none of us stayed til the end of smagghe, remember! I enjoyed it but not so much that I'd rave about it for weeks afterwards. isolée was great though.

nite versions = rmx album yes, the nite version of 'e talking' is the one which always gets played out.

The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 1 September 2005 13:07 (eighteen years ago) link

sep 24: he is at the fabric, again. July was... I dunno, I wasn't so fond of the dudes before isolée (not enough banging bangers! or um any change whatever, it felt like, mind you I am philistine) and that kind of put a dampener on the whole thing, but I was dog-tired before I even got there, so. One reason why I want to see him dj again.

spontine (cis), Thursday, 1 September 2005 13:09 (eighteen years ago) link

fabric would be much better if craig richards was banned. i'd much rather they did that than stay open til 10am or whatever.

toby (tsg20), Thursday, 1 September 2005 13:35 (eighteen years ago) link

the nite version of 'e talking' is the one which always gets played out.

thanks! i deleted all the versions of this a while ago, but it'd been in my head recently and i wanted to know which one to download, and now i do. they're going to be really good live, i suspect.

toby (tsg20), Thursday, 1 September 2005 14:21 (eighteen years ago) link

e talking - nite version with nancy whang, terrific, always gets played; disco drama version with tiga, terrific, never gets played; original, terrible. there are probably other versions which I haven't heard.

The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 1 September 2005 14:35 (eighteen years ago) link

rex the dog, way overrated.

toby (tsg20), Thursday, 1 September 2005 14:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I am in London for two weeks from tomorrow, I will miss Vitalic though! I want to go dancing.

The last honest gentleman (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 September 2005 15:37 (eighteen years ago) link

the NY Lipps dub of "NY Excuse" is also very good, basically booted the original with Lipps Inc "Funkytown", such a simple floorfiller!

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 1 September 2005 20:55 (eighteen years ago) link

I will miss Vitalic/2MDJS as well. 22nd looks great though. 10am less so. I am a wuss these days.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:10 (eighteen years ago) link

strongly tempted by the 22nd I must say, if I can manage it, I am waaaay overdue a trip to London.

I am interviewing monsieur vitalic this weekend!

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:13 (eighteen years ago) link

does anyone know who else is at fabriclive on oct 7th? fabric appear to have shut down their website right now. alternatively, does anyone know any good MIA/grime-style gigs coming up? my sis wants to know, and i'm not down enough with the kids to have a clue...

toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 11:59 (eighteen years ago) link

how easy is it to smuggle drugs into fabric? i'm talking mdma powder or coke... any tips?

deep kid, Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:22 (eighteen years ago) link

oct 7 is forget about the sugar, toby!

(cis and i were contemplating going on to fabric afterwards, actually, on the assumption that diplo will probably be on after 2.)

there's a grime gig on sep 16 (clashes with poptimism unfortunately) at, er, the vice pub. jme, skepta and big h are lined up.

The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:40 (eighteen years ago) link

e talking - nite version with nancy whang, terrific, always gets played; disco drama version with tiga, terrific, never gets played; original, terrible. there are probably other versions which I haven't heard.

The Rex mix is king - I always let it play through. Still doubt I'm showing on Friday as I'm sure to overexert myself rock'n'roll dancing in Fulham.

BARMS, Wednesday, 7 September 2005 15:11 (eighteen years ago) link

i'll be at forget about the sugar, lex! i'm not going anywhere near this fabric live nonsense...

toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 15:57 (eighteen years ago) link

chicken.

last night was fun. I can't believe how small room 1 is though. Is fabric always that packed? Soulwax nite version works so well.

jellybean (jellybean), Saturday, 10 September 2005 13:04 (eighteen years ago) link

soulwax nite version are incredible! I didn't even know they existed, and wow. It was a bit more crowded than fabric - well, fabric sat - usually is, I though, usually there is at least some minimal room in which to dance.

spontine (cis), Saturday, 10 September 2005 17:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Explain Soulwax Nite Version to me.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 10 September 2005 17:20 (eighteen years ago) link

as far as I know it involves LIVE ELECTROHOUSE REMIXES or something equally insane, all I know is it is heaven to dance to.

spontine (cis), Saturday, 10 September 2005 18:00 (eighteen years ago) link

It's basically what they did to NY Excuse repeated for the whole of the last album. Lots of the good vocal/instrumental bits put to house beats and remixed all together.

Just a shame I couldn't see much, with all those tall blokes standing in front of me.

Simian Mobile Disco were a lot more dancier than I expected too.

jellybean (jellybean), Saturday, 10 September 2005 18:12 (eighteen years ago) link

oh and room 3 had loads of room to dance in early(ish) on.

jellybean (jellybean), Saturday, 10 September 2005 18:12 (eighteen years ago) link

tongiht in london:

luciano and alex under @ the end
nathan fake @ the key

:((((

when is fabric birthday?!?!?!?!
