Ritual birthday bash and crash
gawd, i'm still kinda buzzing for yesterday's binge, but i've got to admit i do like going back home with my ears ringing (damn you Tiziano and over loud monitoring in the booth!!) and totally unable to sleep!
So, Qube is always a cool venue for Ritual, i don't know exactly what it is that i like so much about it, but it always work for me. The place looks heavy duty industrial, got a really good PA and an excellent bar.. it's a win win situation by my book!
Got to the club early after stopping for a beer can for CrazyWhiteSean (he kickstarts his shows with it so it was of paramount importance that i get him one..), stuck a few indications to the pillars of the club and finished dressing up and putting on my make up in the backstage (oh, other major point? huge backstage!).
DJ AKT started playing at around midnight as people started filtering in, slowly but steadily. Nice set of tech-house, electro and some electro-house.. cool stuff.
Then it was DJ BLADE's turn with her trademark hard hitting industrial dance. By then i was going around checking out the punters and starting to wonder what the fuck I was supposed to play.. TBM? Hard stuff? techno?? boh!!
well i had time to think as Alia started her very sexy performance, followed shortl by a (phisically) devastating and enormously entertaining performance by Sean.. the guy is totally fucking insane but so bloody funny to watch at the same time!
One would have never imagined by watching his show that just a few minutes before he was placidly snoring in the backstage.. hehehe
Oh, and thank god Baby VJ gave me that plating sheet to put over the console and laptop.. everything would have been splattered in gore by the 2 minute of the show...
So as Sean leaves the stage i remove the seet, press play and here's my set:
Happy Fcuking Birthday : Combichrist
Du Hast Massaker : Suicide Commando vs Rammstein
Hard and Dirty : Modulate
Juggernaut (NBK vs Selene Riot mix) : XP8
Lay Down The Beat (Organ Donors mix) : Dropzone
Back 2 Cali : Mauro Piccotto
2 (Scot Project mix II) : Scot
Pearls Girls : Underworld
Kernkraft 400 (Dave Clarke mix) : Zombie Nation
Loop Hole : Sa Vee Oh
at which point i was supposed to leave the booth to DJ RITUAL, but he comes up to me and goes: "how about a back to back?"
and stupidly i go "yeah, why not!"
cos you gotta fucking piss you dumb fuck!!
anyway, we play, people dance and cheer, we goof around and play some more.. fun fun fun
here's my half of the set:
Fine Day : Neon Lights
Acid & Love : FJ Project
Rudebox (splintered by DJ Maruko) : Robbie Williams
Smack My Bitch Up (Mix 1) : Prodigy
Forever (Harlem Hardstyle mix) : Brudershaft
Swallow Your Soul : Painmaker (i think..)
Shout Out : Showtek
Orgasm : Noisuf-X
and then after Tiz's last track i closed with In The Ruins of Berlin by Marlene Dietrich.
After that it was just a matter of packing up, getting the cash, revving up the car and showing up at the afterparty...
