I’m back from Roppongi, and a pretty unusual Muon event. It was great to meet all the DJs, but over half the event was hard house\/schranz of the light variety, with only A10 Device, SHINOSAN and myself playing harder tunes at the start of the night.<\/p>\n

A10 Device’s set was really good, playing very hard THC-style gabber, but as an opening set to this kind of event it was always going to fall a bit flat. Add in the delay of 10 minutes caused by the incredibly unhelpful staff (one very professional guy excluded), and A10 Device did a great job to keep it together. SHINOSAN also played a nice set of slower Hard NRG\/schranz, including Hellnight <\/em>and DJ X’s Hannya X <\/em>remix. He also went to town with the video-taking, getting about 10 minutes of each DJ, so some of those might be coming later.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As for me, the lack of prep time and an unfamiliar venue added up to it not being a great set, to be honest. I’ve hardly had a moment to think about it, and the connections weren’t very good…most of the tunes are classics, so the selection was fine, but instead of the requested 170bpm+, 160 would have been a lot better. Pretty bizarre at the end of the set too – with me playing The Most Masochist <\/em>at 175bpm, Rock (the next DJ) asked me if I could drop it to 140 for him to mix in the next set (!). I shoehorned in Last of the Mohicans <\/em>and tried dropping the bpm in the breakdown down to 160, then eventually 150…..what a weird experience.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the tracklist:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nomic – Desolated Dreams<\/li>\n
  2. Alek Szahala – Caballo<\/li>\n
  3. Betwixt & Between – Liberation<\/li>\n
  4. Alek Szahala – Invitation<\/li>\n
  5. Rank 1 – Airwave (Betwixt & Between remix)<\/li>\n
  6. Alek Szahala – Lagash<\/li>\n
  7. Twisted Freq – Innocence (AMS remix)<\/li>\n
  8. Alek Szahala – Voices of Babylon<\/li>\n
  9. Betwixt & Between – Zusammengehorigkeit<\/li>\n
  10. Betwixt & Between – Nemesis<\/li>\n
  11. Epyx & Cyrez – The Most Masochist<\/li>\n
  12. Trevor Jones – The Last of the Mohicans (Alek Szahala remix)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As you can see, I was anthem-bashing a bit…maybe the most interesting one is Liberation<\/em>, the second Betwixt & Between track I ever heard. In the right set (which this probably wasn’t) it will still sound great, so I’ll definitely be using it again. Finally, big thanks to DJ AEMI for inviting me to the event, and especially to Eirik for making it along when all the other guests pulled out….just a shame I couldn’t come up with a better set for him this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
