Last night was the first installment of Kanon’s new event, Illegrrls, and it was probably one of the best events so far this year. The whole concept is fantastic (only harder genres, with a girl-only lineup), so to see such a big crowd supporting it was really encouraging. The scene here’s been a bit disappointing recently, but Kanon managed to bring together ravers from all kinds of different groups for this one. I met a few DJs for the first time, as well as a lot of really nice people from events I don’t usually go to.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I decided to go to the event at the very last moment, so after catching the last train and getting lost in Kabukicho (again) on the way to the club, the first couple of DJs had already played. I arrived just as Siki was playing her dark psy set. It was excellent stuff, if a bit more mainstream than Cogi’s style.<\/p>\n

Next was Gizmo, playing a mix of hard house, psy and hard trance. Some of the tracks were great, but the selection switched the mood up a bit too often for most people.<\/p>\n

Following Gizmo was AEMI, who played schranz and hardcore. After some technical problems at the start her set was a big hit, switching between uplifting and dark, and always high bpm.<\/p>\n

KA-NA was next, with yet another awesome set. Almost 100% Finnish, she started off with Nomic’s Extinguish<\/em>, following that with tracks like Sam One’s Code of Silence <\/em>remix, Crank Cleopatra <\/em>and Pain on Creation and DJ Rx’s Super Sonic<\/em>. Apart from stopping to take the video above, I was dancing for the whole hour or so – I’m paying for it today, but it’s impossible not to when the set is exactly what I’d play if I was allowed such high bpms at Romancer. Betwixt & Between and Minagi were the other two at the front of the dancefloor, which shows she’s doing something right.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately I was exhausted afterwards and forgot to take any video of Kanon’s gabber set, but it was well up to her normal standards, and even had me dancing again by the end. The club was really packed at that point, I really hope that we’ll see more of this event in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
