Arriving at around the usual time of 12:00 it was easy to see the night was going to be spacious to say the least. Don’t get me wrong I’m not going to start complaining about how a club should be ram-packed every night. Oh no. It just gets on my tits when an artist who is sure to deliver a great evening doesn’t get the full appreciation deserved. Obviously the change of licensing laws has forever changed how many people arrive at a club around 12:00. Where a few years ago this would be a ram packed time and the build-up would get appreciation. Now, often, the pre-main act slot seems to just cater for a few wonderers on the dance floor… trying their hardest to build up some penash-umph-and-atmosphere for a night to go on. The night did’nt get too much fuller as things went on, a real miss and let down for Brighton clubbers.
Warming up we had David Parr playing until the 1am expected come on time of Woolford. I’ve wanted to see Paul Woolford for a long time thus jumped at the chance to see him at Brighton’s premier, Audio. Woolford is famous for his own style that he throws into his productions, ranging from the recent Modernist EPs and that track that has to be mentioned, Erotic Discourse – under his pseudonym Bobby Peru. A track, that when first heard easily delights with its creativity and direction – it’s a dream. Not many songs can rip up a dance floor in such a dark way. To finish the Night Paul did a classic walk off ending, record plays but no DJ. Has to be done more often. Like the style.
Why does a mass load of people not go for a name like Paul Woolford yet dance to his tracks like maniacs on a regular basis? The only comprehendible answer can be ignorance. They are blind to what’s good and in front of them. Okay, okay, rant over!
One thing that does scare me is all the talk of Laurent Garnier next week and the anticipated masses that will huddle the venue. Audio is a small club and such a high class name could be hell. Ah well… can’t wait for it.
To continue the weekend festivities we have Blackstrobe at the Ocean Rooms tonight (Saturday 07th 06). A highly anticipated night, which if well executed (if they turn up) could go down as one of this years best.
