So this was it. It wasn't a big, not even a little success but it was better than it could have been.
There were people we've never seen before (like the two random cybers), people from the Calling and closer friends. [livejournal.com profile] poetman should have the full numbers but I reckon it was about 30odd in total. Not too bad for a first night on a weekday, methinks.

However, except for the trendies who left rather quickly again or didn't even come in (when they saw [livejournal.com profile] devalmont in a skirt) everybody seems to have liked it so we're thinking about doing it again. I'm definitely up for it.

The music selection was fantastic, from reasonably well known tracks to the obscure (well, maybe not to [livejournal.com profile] sogoth) covering electronica of various harshness. The full playlist will be available as soon as we've typed it up, mine follows below.

Now the thanks:
- [livejournal.com profile] razornet, [livejournal.com profile] sogoth and [livejournal.com profile] angelustenebris for being our wonderful guest DJs, the latter two driving up from Reading for the occasion
- [livejournal.com profile] andrewdavies for doing the door most of the night
- [livejournal.com profile] scylla for posting an ad for it on netgoth, as that brought us at least two customers (must remember to sign up for that)
- all the people who came and supported us.

It wasn't that successful in terms of turnout but the people who came enjoyed themselves and will be back (or so they said), that's definitely encouragement to keep going. We'll see.

My setlist:
Eisbrecher - Polarstern
Das Ich - Kindgott
Nitzer Ebb - Murderous
Die Krupps - Machinery of Joy
Cubanate - Body Burn (Beeston 7" mix)
Aslan Faction - Tight Grip (slaave desolution remix)
Tactical Sekt - Soulless
P•A•L - Gelöbnis (Terrorfakt remix)
mono no aware - stimme nord
Ah Cama Sotz - Narbukh (Mimetic remix)
This Morn' Omina - Epoch
Totakeke - Lament (Imminent Remix)
KOMPRESSOR - Shiny Happy People

And I was good and only played one obscure track (Totakeke)
I slowly seem to get the hang of this DJing thing. The set was pretty much improvised as quite a few tracks/artists I orginally had planned were played before (*shakes fist at [livejournal.com profile] poetman for playing Rotersand and the track I wanted to play, although I would have played the remix*) and the mixing went reasonably well, especially between Epoch and Lament. I didn't even hear myself where one track ended and the next began...

Could have been busier, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The music was certainly very good...

Go on, do another one, you know you want to... :)

Thank you!

I'm thinking July as June would be too close for arranging things.

The random cyber goths were Marco and his girfriend. Marco became briefly famous with the Camgoths due to a certain review of the calling he published on a music website. He seems to have developed an even camper voice since we last met, with added faux frenchness.

Interesting chap.

Just decided to sign up for a livejournal account, been needing one for ages...
Think I might try to come along if there is another one. All depends on if I can get the money to come up from London again on the night it happens. Thought it was a pretty good night. Don't think I'm likely to come up again too soon though, but definately will be at some point.

Yeah, I decided to search for livejournal, scary bitches and 9th January and managed to find the link. Really pleased I found it. Cheers.

That is almost scary. I think I have to protect more entries...

Well if it helps, I spent months searching to no avail, until I added the "livejournal" part to my search, and then followed a few link and reviewed your old posts till I found the link >.<. I tend to be relentless when it's something I desperately want...
