Anybody else counting down the days to Justice?

The fisrt dj was Busy P, or Pedro.
 
 He's Daft Punk's manager and I thought his set, while mixing seemed to be a non factor for him, was solid.

I really enjoyed the show last night.
 
 Thanks to everyone that got a poster last night.
 
 I have a few left, but not many, if anyone didn't get one or missed the show.  You can get them here.

I had a pretty killer time. I was really impressed with Justice and visually the whole thing was pretty mind blowing. Although my one complaint was this drunk asshole and his girlfriend who were grinding me into the metal wall thing, I have a pretty serious bruise on my right hip.

his mixing was indeed good, but with credentials like that you'd think he'd have access to better tracks than the trumpet-synth-driven wannabe rave anthems he was going with for a while... PAPA DAPADA PAAAA PAAAAAA!  PAPA DAPADA PAAAA PAAAAAA!  ugh.  didn't the robots teach him anything about layering, subtlety, complexity?  maybe i'm just being too harsh.  people seemed to be enjoying him, for the most part.

Yeah that was pretty much my only complaint with his set, I enjoyed his track selection because I knew just about every track he spun. I think the track you're referring to, indeed if it is the trumpet driven one, is "Big Money Comin'" by Crookers. I love that track.... haha

if you talking about me, I've gotten over the lateness of the show, but I can still call someone a 'dick' who is shoving and pushing people for no apparent reason other than to be a 'dick'

i believe sam was referring to when you called 930 organizers "dicks" because of the late finish time, something they don't always have control over:

 this is what a justice set should be like - in a dance club, not a concert venue, and packed but not so much so that ones has no space to dance.  and speaking of, justice will be spinning at this same little club on thursday, after their show.  i'm tempted to go - while i'm over justice's live show, i'd be interested in hearing what they spin.  unfortunately they won't be behind the decks until midnight or 1 am, and i need to be functional the next day... dammit.  might need to call upon ye olde disco nap.

new rule: Justice dj sets only.
 
 as i've said before, i'm over their "live" show.  but based on their dj set last night, these frenchies are still very relevant to my musical interests.  they spun at the same small club (sonotheque) as SMD, which was just as packed, just as hot, and just as much fun.  they played mostly classic house with elements of disco and hip hop thrown in.  by "classic" i mean classic for me, because my personal "classic" period of clubbing was 95-98 and they sounds Justice provided came straight from that time for the most part.  they dropped van Helden's "professional widow" remix, which i haven't heard in almost a decade - put a huge smile on my face.  the highlight of their set, for me, was a screwed up remix of the stones' "you can't always get what your want" - genius.  their souped-up version of "phantom #2" had people scrapping themselves off the ceiling afterwards.  
 
 a staple of any justice set is their breaking of local no-smoking ordinances and last night was no different.  the DJ booth was mostly enclosed in plexiglass, so they and their entourage were essentially hot-boxing the booth with nicotine... SWEET.  joe and rhett will be disappointed to learn that gaspard and xavier are not buff, in fact they are rather scrawny.  they hung out in front of the club after their set and were very approachable.  i was expecting otherwise, so a pleasant surprise.  
 
 i can't decide whose dj set i enjoyed more, SMD or justice's.  last night had just a shred more energy, was a tad more visceral and a little less cerebral, but i have a very slight preference for the music that SMD spun.  maybe.  essentially a draw, both nights were excellent.
 
 did someone say "justice"?!?
