Right, first the bad news – at the last possible minute, Hellraiser pulled out. There was a little bit of confusion as to exactly why, but Zio decided to go with the regular Hell’s DJs rather than getting another emergency backup guest in. It turned out to be a good choice, as although the attendance was nowhere near what it would have been otherwise, all the DJs pulled out the stops to give some great performances. Alongside the dance performances and glowstickers, it was a pretty spectacular event. Thanks to Hellraiser’s cancellation, I was shifted further down the schedule, playing again about halfway through the night (after Raithm/Minagi and before Stanfield).
We had plenty of time to get things set up pre-event this time (even if everyone except myself and VX Pasta were later than expected…), and so no troubles on that front. Warming up the crowd was DJ M.K.T, who played fairly pacy hard house with hardstyle and even gabber elements. I’ve only seen him play a couple of times before, but this was the best of his sets so far and a nice way to get things going.
