I had a wicked time last night at the Docks! Partied with some of my fave TO folks and met some other cool-ass cats!
The hardcore room was where I spent most of the night listening to greats like AC Slater and Dharma Lab! 
I've never heard AC Slater play before but MAN OH MAN does this guy grab you by the balls (or lack thereof in my case) and throw you into a dancing frenzy. I have never heard hardcore played this way before and I can admit that I'm not a huge hardcore fan, I like it but man, this guy made me LOVE dancing to it last night!
I always always always LOVE seeing Dharma Lab! Seems they've even changed their style up since the last time I saw them too, in a wicked way! Last night Chris and Christian played harder, faster and stronger than ever before! Chris, wow, he wails on the keyboard like no other and all LIVE for that matter. There was nothing pre-written for him to play, he just simply played..and it was effin GREAT! Some stupid fire alarm bullshit kinda put a damper on their set but as soon as the sound was back up and running, so was the dancefloor!
Tyco, Slippery and Xofer (yes I said Xofer) played AMAZINGLY as well!
We got into the event for the last 15 minutes of Tyco's set and he was playing solidly as per usual! Wish we would've gotten there earlier to catch more of it but there will be plenty of opportunity for me to see him play I'm sure..
Mr. Opel unfortunately couldn't make it for the evening so Xofer ended up playing b2b Mr. Slippery for the ABA set. Wicked job guys! I know you guys had to deal with some minor sound issues but you guys killed it regardless!
I did see a part of Nicky Blackmarket's set. He had some mad tracks, that's for sure! The room was full and everyone was dancing so that's always good...
Overall a great time! Sound issues kill vibes however so hopefully this gets fixed next time round..

I got to the event around 10:30. Caught mostly everyone's sets cept for the first round.
Here were my favorites:
I only caught a bit of Trixie's set, but from what I caught she played a couple of my favorite tracks!
3-Headed Monster (Mr. Tippy, Klonez, Jimmy Hash) played one killer set that had most of the croud in the Whippet Lounge! With a personalized intro that blew everyone's minds away! Great job with that last minute production job Dima!
Duotone (Cynex and Monophonic) played a LOT of danceable tracks...meaning anyone off the street would've loved their breaks/house set!
Pay the DJ and Jeph w Mista Mensa most definately had the best jungle set that night! Pay played amazingly as per usual! And I've been telling everyone, Jeph's one brilliant producer, and he proved me sooooo right Saturday night...that guy is definately going places!
Bowzer w MC Fly Bry was also amazing! I loved his style of jungle, but what I really appreciated is that he threw down some SICK-ASS dubstep tunes. I don't think London's quite ready for that genre yet, but there were definately the few of us on the floor that were able to get down and dirty to those fat-ass baselines. Bry also did a great job as per usual...even gave me an awesome shout out that would make any girl swoon. ...THANKS BRY!
Now, whenever I see FLIM play he always manages to amaze me! The energy he brings to the stage, the music, the croud is always a thrill! The first half of the set with Corrosive Feedback and Specter was a nice touch and added some dimension and diversity to the set as well!
Awesome by Association is always and will always be just that...AWESOME! Seeing these two play would put a smile on anyone's face, and put a kick-step into their feet!
After the party I had a few really cool cats back at the dungeon (my apartment). We smoked some mint shisha amongst other such things, spun some tunes and had an absolute BALL!
Great job guys! If your goal was to have a decent croud, wicked music, and an awesome vibe than this event was a success! Being your first event, I'm sure there were lots of things you want to change to make the next one even better!
Lookin' forward to it!
