After a long absence I had the opportunity to man the decks again. As this was the first set of the evening, I chose a mix of Dark Ambient, Apocalyptic Folk, Minimal Electronics and Mittelalter. If you're interested in what some of the bands sound like, I've provided links to myspace or their homepage.

*groans* Despite getting home just before 3 I was still so hyped I couldn't sleep for another two hours. I eventually got up at 1 and had breakfast/brunch.

It was a great night and AFAIK the most successful one so far. Going back to a Saturday was certainly a good idea as more people came out, and everybody had made an effort in terms of outfits. There was a good and friendly hype going on and everybody seemed to have a good time. The performances were top notch again, especially impressive were the first two from Anglia Ruskin Uni's Burlesque Society who performed in public for the first time.

It was my first time as DJ in quite a while and I had the first set: Funk Soul Brother.( setlist )
Next time I make sure I get my MP3s tagged in time as using dj_slingshot's new console will be much easier than swapping CDs all the time.
