Briefest of reports: got there about 10.30, had to queue for 45 mins to get in, 808 hadn't sent their guest list across but the kindly man on the door must've thought we looked honest and let us in anyway. andy came on about 1am, and as per usual they did half hour and then swapped. the set seemed a bit harder & faster than when they played Cardiff, some of the tracks were the same but pitched up. Stand out tracks: Hybrid rmx of Papua New Guinea, the one with the "Daaaaa, da da doooooo" trumpet sample (found at the beginning of House Of Pain "Jump Around" in the middle that sends everyone absolutely crazy, Cowgirl Futureshock rmx, Smoke Machine, The Compass, and OH YES! The Victor Calderone rmx of Cubik! Fuckin' A! Other than 808 playing live there's no better way of seeing in a new year than grooving to one of their sets. All this and I was completely and utterly sober / straight as I had to drive home.
Markus, cheers for sorting this out (again!). Amsterdam: still no firm date for Jan BUT Saturday March 30th, Chemical Brothers are playing (not sure venue) and I will be there. If you know anything about the venue can you let me know?
