Jesus, my head was sore yesterday morning. Had a thoroughly grand time chatting shit to y'all.

Played the following I think:

Shoes - Me and My Diva
Damn Edits - No 1
Cronk Family Enterprises - A Quiet Rebellion
Buari - I'm Ready
Cro-Magnon - Take Me Higher
Paperclip People - Throw

Think I can probably fill in a few gaps regarding Beaney boy's battered-up appearance! Myself, Bergs and Jimi Oh was the last to leave Moog and walking away from the venue noticed a very pissed up person pretty much on all fours on the pavement. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Beane, minus his glasses! Reckon he must have fallen over, getting the grazed forehead and hand. Cue searching the surrounding area for his glasses, which Bergs found about 6 ft from where Beane was! Then he realised he didn't have his records and phoned his mate effing and jeffing about where they were. Cue wander to aforementioned kebab establishment where Beane had been, ordered a kebab, left before it was ready and went for a wander!

Wow what a night.
Got back to the hotel at 5 after staggering past Beane propping up the Kebab bar out side the club. Man you were wasted LOL

Excellent city you guys have, tons of great bars and lovely places to eat.
Was surprised by the lack of Robin Hood novelty tat. If it weren’t for a walk up to the Castle all trace of him seemed to be eradicated which was weird.

Loved walking around the Lace Market end of town and finding little lanes to walk down. With the best one being the random find of Rob Records. This has to be diggers heaven but if you touch anything you are in a real danger of being buried alive under tons of piles of boxes filled with records and books. What a state he keeps it.


Much respect to the Soul Buggin boys for putting on this great night with a big thanks to Wrighty to making me feel so welcome. Loved your impromptu dance freak out which lasted about 1 minute before you were either knacked or realised you were too drunk. LOL. I just managed to grab my camera but managed to cut the top of your head off. DOH.


Pretty sure I went round and said hello to everyone, all a great bunch of lads with superb musical taste. If I missed you sorry about that.

· Tune of the night for me was David Pickod and the West Street Mob – Break Dance Electro Boogie. Sounded so fresh.
· Theme from Midnight Cowboy from Olly was a very nice surprise. Love that soundtrack from one of my top 5 films. Respect to dropping that.
· Biggest WTF moment of the night goes to M-Cutz. Asked me for a smoke outside just before his set. Was pissed staggering about all over the place. He took a few drags of the rollie and look like he was gonna puke. Asked him if he was ok and he just wander off. Went to see what I thought was gonna be carnage to find him probably pushing for the best set of the night. Tons of button tweating excellent mixing and having Naz going up on the Mic. Great stuff mate. Did remind me of Keyser Soze from The Usual Suspects. LOL
· Yep The Giant Woman WTF
· Brendan Gleeson from “ In Bruges” being there!!!!
· Naz playing a wicked deep set of tunes. How do you manage to move around the decks with those giant muscles mate. LOL
· Random tune of the night goes to Bergs, lovely guy, was a real pleasure to meet you again mate. He had the grave yard shift when most people had gone but he still played a blinder. Especially with the fact that he didn’t know if the cd players were gonna work. The tune he finished with was by Brian Ferry – Angel eyes I think if memory serves. I had never heard that before and it sound wicked. A great tune to finish on and totaly out da bag.
· Shame not getting to meet CTOP hopefully next time. Hope all is ok mate.
· Another highlight of the night was the back to back sets of Jimi oh, Jazzchops and Bergs. 3 wicked sets that all flowed in so freaking well. Respect guys. I had loads of dancing and head nodding.
· MOOG’s wicked design and art work. Loved the graff in the back and the painting of the dude with a pint in his hand.
· Having to drive back to the South Coast after having around 3 and half hours kip. Not a good look.
· All round massive respect goes to everyone. Cheers for making it such a memorable weekend

I played the usual soul/boogie set but kinder of wish I had gone for a different style and a more mixed bag set. Glad you loved the Cameo tune Wrighty.

what the FYE is what it mean

Top Top night as always

Good to meet everybody both old and new and to hear some excellent track selections and mixes.

Apologies to those whos sets were post 2:30 as with a 2 week old baby , my lack of sleep and a 5am start on Friday I was flagging by the end and had to do a sharp exit (Cheers Naz for the lift in your cab )

So what I remember........................

Mike Mongos playing Cameo - sounded lush

Adams first set with a track I kept haranging him about and of course I have now forgotten !!!!

Wrighty playing ODB.

Srimshires Warm Sound (Aaron jerome remix) given an airing (and not by me for a change)

One of the decks playing in mono and giving sporadic feedback.

Wrightys large amount of free drinks for everybody

M-Cutz asleep by 11pm even though he hadnt played his set yet - then staggering around - a supreme effort it has to be said as his djing was first class

Beanes visuals - proper LOLS as well as being excellently designed as well

The man/woman

Mark A's new SL72's

Si Jizzslops t-shirt.

Naz cutting up 2 12"'s of the Floating Point 'Vacuum' E.P - infact Nazs set was my favourite of the night

Mike Mongos's height. - I wasnt expecting a giant.

Olly playing Flowered Ups 'Weekender'

Beanes hair (as usual) - that was the first thing Lisa asked me - 'Whats Beanes hair like at the moment?'

The amount of non-brownswood crowd in the place which is testimony to Wrighty / Mark and Beanes regular nights there.

Anyway , what I thrown together in random FYE stylee

West Street mob - Break Dancin - Electric Boogie (Sugarhill)

Franz ferdinand / malcolm McClaren - Take me out / Buffalo Girls (go home productions)
