Sweet Like Candy & Biggies VIP Bash

Delayed blogging again down to finishing work for the paper and what not but finally I'm round to blogging Saturday night!

Arrived at around 11:30 to a very very hot Concrete (formerly named 'The Boiler Room' for a reason), I was surprised to find the front room closed meaning everything was happening in the back room which is much bigger. As I made my way through to the back room I wondered if there would be enough people inside to fill the capacity and my question was answered when I saw a very healthy crowd inside.

Not sure of who was on the decks at this point but dropping some hip hop classics he had the crowd warming but not moving, half an hour past and Greg stepped up with the intention of adding some much needed energy to the party!

In the mixle



Another solid set from Greg, not as deep as the previous week and drawing for a fair few grime tunes he definitely had the crowd going with Ed Solo's - Age of Dub. As the hour went by and the temperature got hotter more people were feeling the affects of the drink and got involved in some dance floor action.

1 o clock came and Rattus Rattus plugged in his Serato for an hour of dubstep, bashment, drum n bass and hip hop. He definitely got the crowd moving with some insane antics from both the male and female contingents, the infamous "dance circle" made an appearance and some damn right disgraceful dance moves from some of the women. Drawing for Subfocus - Timewarp made me happy but directly after playing Pendulum - Tarantula really killed the vibe, also the drop of the Caspa - Where's my money remix begs the question of back door MP3s???

And there's more...



It was almost 2 and I had been asked to pop down to the Rainbow for MC Biggies VIP bash to snap a few shots. Thanks to Escape for the guest list I jumped in a taxi and headed down... I reasonable crowd inside, I caught the last tune from Randall before it was time for Escape to step up. Business as usual as Escape worked through his unique jump up set, again playing the new PA tune and again putting strain on the faces of ravers inside.

Next up was an old skool set from Birmingham legend Phase 2, plenty of classics and some rather heavy amen's from Joe he kept the crowd on its feet till the early hours, even with a few slip ups on the decks it was great to hear some real classics out in a rave.
