I've already said I wasn't slagging oldskooler and like I said, I couldn't make out the music cos it was so low. I just remember hearing a rolling, euro-style bassline and tinny high hats with piano's. I couldn't even make out the track (it obviously wasn't what I mentioned) and left the room to check out the hardcore room. Harsh comments I admit but I certainly wasn't meaning to offend the lad and I certainly don't think he needs defending considering I wasn't having a go at him. The contrast between Welly's last 2 tracks of Prodigy and Shades of Rhythm was evident to my ears. And maybe the fact I thought it was Casino on furthered my opinion/thoughts.
And btw Ben, I don't know which event u thought u was attending but it certainly wasn't a Life at Bowlers reunion. It used the Compulsion event brand to which I did attend every week for 2 years at Bowlers. And this event wasn't a patch on Bowlers. It also certainly wasn't the hardcore event of 2006. Hixxy's HTID event and the Slammin Vinyl events piss on that and I'll bet the Southerner DJ's/MC's there had a quiet chuckle to themselves when they saw it too.
If anyone is considering going to a Missing event in the future, I'd make sure I checked out the independent opinons posted on this thread of those who weren't involved in the events as DJ's/promoters or asslickers.
Thats the last I'm saying on the matter.
