yes yes i know i havent updated my blog in a while.. well here it is.. I had to split it into 2 parts cause well.. this is what happens when you have one week of material in ur camera and doing quite a fair bit of stuff :)
Last night after a tough decision between Umek, Kevin Saunderson & Sven Vath with Ben Sims We decided to catch Sven Vath & Ben Sims at Row 14, i've been wanting to catch Sven for ages (and i do mean ages) and see whats so great about this guy. When i finally saw him.. I was like WTF ? Whats so special about this guy ? I mean he mixes like any ordinary dj.. hell i think u can even take a bedroom dj from Kampung Baru and he can still play better than Sven. And the worse part it was PACKED! PACKED LIKE HELL! All media bullshit i guess.. In the end we moved to the 2nd room where Narkotic Dlux ( http://www.myspace.com/narkoticdlux ) were playing! And fuck me.. Those guys can play! especially Mark! So proper hardgroove! And the best part the 2nd room was Packed! U could tell that those ppl in the 2nd room knew their shit unlike 70% of the ppl in the main room listening to mr. Sven (Bisexual) Vath yup he is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-n90BVhV_8&feature=PlayList&p=1081D0D9135ED792&playnext=1&index=1).
But of course when Sven finished playing his minimal shit.. Mr. Ben Sims took to the decks, and when he took over most of us were like FUCK YEA! Finally some proper proper hardgroove shit! Mr. Sims never seems to disappoint us :)

One week in Bcn.. Yup time really fly's its already been one week since i arrived back in Barcelona.. Havent been doing much actually.. Just been catching up with the guys from the agency and eating, eating, and more eating, drinking & sleeping! Haha.. I know how boring rite ? Well what to do ? This is what happens when your on tour i guess. But thankfully the other day when Ian and myself were walking downtown towards Rita Rouge (My Fav restaurant in Bcn) we came across a Shisha bar! When i saw that i was like finally! a shisha bar! Although it cost 10 euros and wasnt that good, but who cares rite ? beggars cant be choosers. Hehe

I know its been a bloody long time sine i last posted up a promo mix for you guys. This mix is the sort of stuff i've been hammering in Spain, So yea.. after the long due here it is. - Enjoy!
Last weekend was one of the most amazing weekends i've had in a long time. Well the last would be when i got my bongkang baby :P Haha..
Its been a really really long time since had 2 amazing gigs on the same weekend.
Friday (21/11/08) was at The Group in Vitoria, so far i would say that that was the best gig for this tour. Everytime i play in Vitoria it keeps getting better and better, and to be honest it was the perfect way to end my 1 week stay in Vitoria. Oh yes.. And many thanks to my friends in Vitoria for the support! You guys rock! See u next year :) Dinner Time! The Group Murphy on the Decks Crazy Crowd! Crazy Crowd Again! Crazy Friends! Haha In The Mix Pt.1
In The Mix Pt.2
To be honest at 1st i thought it wasnt going to be that great seeing that when we went out for dinner (Murphy, Pablo & myself) it was drizzling, i said to myself great! this is gonna be a really shitty night, but Pablo was like no no, bro.. dont worry ppl in Vitoria are crazy! Haha.. If there's an event like this they will definitely come for sure.. So i was like ok fine. And true enough when i got to the club at 3.30am it was PACKED! i mean it was still drizling but as i entered the club i could see ppl trying their best to get in. What a night that was! I havent played Hardgroove Techno like that in a very very long time! You guys see for youself's ;)
Saturday (22/11/08), we left Vitoria at 4.17pm by train to Barcelona for my gig in Girona, which is about an hours drive from Barcelona. When we finally arrivied at Barcelona at 9pm Pablo got a call and he said we have to go right away. I was like shit! We just got off the train, i havent had anything to eat, so freaking tired and we gotta leave right away.
We left Barcelona at 11.45pm for Blau Club in Girona. When in the van i just snoozed off for an hour, i was hungry but yet.. too tired. Finally we arrived at Blau at 1.15am, yea we got lost on the was there. So immediately i started my set in the Minimal room, yea unfortunately i didnt get to play in the main room cause it was a bloody Hard Techno & Schranz Night! Just incase your wondering whats that, well its like Super Duper Hard Music which ppl like Yoji & The Bass Agents play. Really not my cup of tea. So yea, even in Blau i wasnt expecting a good night due to the fact that DJ Lukas (www.myspace.com/deejaylukas) & Fernanda Martins (www.myspace.com/djfernandam) were playing, but guess i was wrong again. It was a freaking awesome night! I mean never have i seen ppl going bananas to my Minimal sound like that before, i mean if i were to play this kind of sound in KL i'd probaly get killed already! haha. But the clubbers kept on going and going, slowly more and more ppl started heading to my room, till finally my set ended at 4am. When Dave The Drummer took over it got even more MENTAL! Haha. Touchdown Barcelona! Blau Club Doing what i do best.. Well almost la.. But with Minimal ;)View of the Main room from the Minimal roomDaisychain (Paula & Asier) getting on the decks in the Main Room Results!
