Crookin' Awesome

Seeing as my last crookers post magically disappeared - either by my own retardedness or some greater force out of my control, i must post again.

I went with my girlfriend to see the kings of wonk last friday at Hannah Hollands 'Trailer Trash' night, and they were as per usual.. wicked. The location was great, in a car park with one floor for bar / toilets and a second slightly raised car park area for the dancefloor. It had a really good atmos, although the soundsystem was a touch quiet.

I was pleasantly suprised to hear a much more varied set than most of their Crookers remix heavy sets... I think they played for just over an hour and a half, and although we were dancing amidst a sea of trannies and weird androgenous scenesters, the London gig had a real buzz.

Some notable tunes being of course Proxy's blinder Raven, and A-traks remix of boys noize's Oh! They even played Mujava's - Township Funk ;-)

Field Day Festival

Despite the oh-so unpredictable english weather, im hoping that next weekend will be bright and sunny! Londons Victoria park is hosting the quality line-up-fest that is Field Day Festival 2008, and im sure its going to be a corker. With the likes of the Crookers, Foals, Brodinski, Richie Hawtin and Simian Mobile Disco all gracing us with their presence: theres going to be plenty of naughtiness for everyone, all for 26 quid.

I must say, im a little weary considering last years efforts: which saw hundreds of angry punters queuing ages for both a pint, and for a piss. But rest-assured, the Field Day website has reassured us that the facilities will be upto scratch this time round!

Amidst a sea of sweaty, booze (and other stuff) fueled revellers, my highlights for last year had to be Erol Alkan and Justice, but im sure that these electro beasts will not be missed this time round - the huge Crookers steamtrain will probably be crazier than both put together !

This year is definately feeling a touch more techno, with BattyBass flag-flyer Hannah Holland and heavy techno/electro lover Brodinski making Bugged Out stage appearances alongside Berlin dub madmen Modeselektor.

For me, the Bugged out stage is where its at - so expect lots of wobbles, bass, synth and goodness from early doors on saturday. Cya there
