Yesterday ended up being a really good event, even if a group of us did disappear two thirds of the way through for dinner…. The DJs of interest to freeform\/NRG fans had already played by then, mind, so I didn’t miss too much.<\/p>\n
It was my first trip to Club Asia (next door to the fabulous ATOM), and the main floor is nice enough, if a little cramped. The second (Hardcore, this time) floor is a different story though – feeling like someone’s refitted living room, there are only two tiny speakers perched up at the back <\/em>of the room – resulting in a weak sound that seems to be coming from the wrong direction. Not the best idea, eh?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cogi was first up, unfortunately having to open the event….why oh why wasn’t he playing later on? Anyway, despite only playing 40 minutes, he came up with a brilliant set, showing why he really is one of the best around – not only for his long mixes, but the always original track\/genre choices. Mixing from Painkiller <\/em>(so that’s <\/em>the name of that tune) into Halcyon<\/em>, he followed with an enormous mix into psy-trance track Tost<\/em>. Finishing with another high bpm psy-trance tune, Cosmo vs Osom’s Instrumental<\/em>, this was almost an extension of his recent NRGetic Romancer sets. Here’s the tracklist in full, look and admire:<\/p>\n 01. Helix & Tekno Dred – Mindless Pleasure To be honest I missed most of DJ Yousuke’s set this time, as he started almost the same time as Guld down on the main floor. I caught the last few tunes though, including Invader’s newish remix of Spiral Life<\/em>. It’s a good remix, but doesn’t quite have the same power of the original, in my opinion. Here’s the full tracklist though, another great set:<\/p>\n 01. Sugar Is Sweeter (Armand’s Drum ‘n’ Bass Mix) – CJ Bolland Guld’s set was absolutely fantastic, but no tracklist for this one – there were too many promos. The final few tracks though, were what blew the place apart – particularly Last of the Mohicans<\/em> followed by Hase’s original Galatea<\/em>. There was also a bit more talk of Guld’s European tour – it seems it’ll be kicking off in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday ended up being a really good event, even if a group of us did disappear two thirds of the way through for dinner….
