Aye, it's 20 euros for this treat. ;)

Just gonna say that what a great night this was. Phil played a rocking set with some of my favourite Orbital tunes plus a bunch of surprisingly awesome breakbeat tracks (I hope that one particular one is a new Longrange production), that sort of renewed my faith for the genre. He threw in some prog too which was interesting. Also the tempo went up to Jungle levels at points which I liked being the bpm freak I am. Got to shake hands with him too and he even signed me a few Orbital CD-covers. Nice to see that he really is very down-to-earth and generally a really cool chap. :)

Also thanks to Kansler for the company. Way more fun than what it would've been had I gone alone. :)

Yea, def a great nite! :)
Good company, good crowd, good music...

Best regards to Phil for quite a succesful set. I had heard mixed reviews of his dj'ing abilities (confess ye heathens!), but there weren't too many hang-ups that I could notice. Sure, The Box didn't flow quite elegantly into Chime this time, but I think he manipulated the mood in the hall like a proper wizard.

I didn't recognize too many of the (non-Orbital) tunes, here's to hoping a couple of them will end up on a Longrange release some day. Plenty of neat breakbeat tracks, including some with sort of dub influences.

Just for the record: He played Satan, Impact, Funny Break (Plump Dj's Mix), The Box and Chime. Nothing too surprising, no doubt, but just what the crowd was expecting. Especially Chime and Impact had a really powerful impact on the dancefloor - just a totally different experience from listening with headphones.

Yea, and Phil proved to be such a nice bloke, even after 3 AM... As for Kvagga before me, he obliged to autograph my Play EP and the sleeve of Brown - pics of which I provide here to your viewing pleasure:

Yep, definitely an experience to remember. 8)
