Brilliant - possibly my fave acid jazz band EVER..

Saw them 15 years ago in LA. And ironically I noticed they are doing a gig early August in Bali (at a place called Ku De Ta)

I’m there

2nd show be announced soon smile

Cannot wait for this....

On a side note I djed last night @ Trak in Support of Havana Brown. 2 Things - she had 400 people there eating out of her hand...Seriously cameras flashing people screaming - Mixed CD or not she killed it...Her name was the sole promotional tool and she pulled 400 on her own. no promo team and i didnt do much.

The 2nd thing is the sound in that venue....I’ve djed here before but not when it was busy....It is the best sound EVER..(better than seven, better than Eve, better than Fusion - all venues i consider benchmark).Amazing setup. Cant believe that place isnt packed every week the venue is gorgeous, great lighting and vibe too…

B-Love

Not often you get excited to see a local support act but in this case…

Great show. Electric Empire were a tremendous warmup and then when the heavies hit the stage.......Boom - Had the crowd in raptures.

N’Dea still has an incredible voice and the band were as tight as ever....The sound was not as good as I’d hoped early but got better through the night (not enough front speakers for the vocals. The band actually sounded better at the rear of the venue.....)

Sang all the hits including, Dream on Dreamer, Never Stop, Sometimes, Back to love, You are the Universe, Midnight at the Oasis and Dream come true (I’ve missed out a stack - there were no dud or filler tracks)

Overall an 7/10 and I reckon tonight will be even better as I’m sure they will balance the sound tonight. If you were fence sitting I strongly recommend you get down tonight

B-Love
