Radio, Ananne & Inspiration Information (Restless Soul) Reviews

Radio

So Thursday (11th), I covered the Altered Natives radio show on De Ja Vu FM, the show went well and I really enjoyed it, BIGGUP to Danny Native.

At One presents The Altered Natives Radio Show - 11 March 2010


After I finished my cover show I went up to see Sy Sez @ Colourful Radio and as per usual Sy had a guest on his show and I was amazed to see it was Karizma, I only caught the end of the show but I have listened back to the whole thing and it was wicked. Karizma spoke on some interesting topics and gave the listners some exclusives to hear and some insider knowledge etc. Also in the Studio where the likes of Neil Pierce, Tayo Maronie and Dan Fletcher.

Make sure you check out the show on Sy Sez Podcasts (scrol to the show on the 11/3/2010.

Ananne Vega @ Ministry

After that we went to Ministry mob handed to check out the Ananne Album launch party with Louie Vega, Norman Jay, Gilles Peterson. I have to say with a line up like that you expect the party to be strong but I was sadly disappointed!! I thought that none of the sets were particularly strong at all and that Anannes performance was quite weak, also the turn out for the party was quite weak also.

On saturday before i went to east village I was up at Uk Flow Tv with Sy on his guest spot with Jungle on the Good music show, i streamed some live footage.


Inspiration Information with Floating Points @ East Village

Now this is party that gets and I think will always get my 100% seal of approval, Phil Asher the mixing machine and legend from Restless Soul always heats up the party with killer sets an original selecta (say no more).


Now the guest appearances where what took me by surprise, now I have been following Floating Points for a minute but wasn't expecting such a wicked performance from him Dj wise, to which he retorted "that wasn't the best set from me". Playing party classics, soul, rare groove, neo-soul and lo-fi, Floating Points killed em dead!! So big applause on that......




Also another guest Dj who took me by surprise was Frank Jensen, who was building and working the vibe all night long in the upstairs bar, getting people going non-stop. I havent seen the upstairs bar like that before, it was crazy there was so much good music. Unfortunately its not live audio but it is the mix for the event so you can get a feel of what Franks about.

FRANK JENSEN - SOULPARLOR - "What i am feelin at the mo" Exclusive MIX For Inspiration Information by restless soul

All in all another smasher of a party from Phlash.

Soul Heaven & Hati Fundraiser Review

Wow, where do i start!! I'm knackered......... But I have had an amazing time and feel like we need more Soul Heaven in our lives lol!!

So I decided to take my camera on saturday up to Soul Heaven but upon reflection I regret to inform I'm not the best photographer despite being allowed in the Dj booths. I'm gonna put it down to having to much jokes and in general having a wicked time soaking up some wicked music!

Brief Soul Heaven Review

Ok so i pitch up with Sy Sez and associates (Dan, Damian & Leon + others) get inside Ministry and my journey begins, first off with Sy Sez playing a wicked opening set full of soulful uplifting grooves, playing the best in new and old house music really opening up the dance floor to get people going. Then along came guest Dj/Producer Sean McCabe who's set in my personal opinion wasn't amazing but had some nice tracks flowing throughout, not to take away from his wicked production skills. (Pictured Below Sean McCabe left & Sy Sez right)



After Sean along comes Neil Pierce, now if you don't already know or haven't already heard Neil is an amazing dj who almost instantaneously had the crowd eating at his fingertips playing the best soulful house and really working the dance floor over. Alongside Neil there was a live Pa with Adeola Ranson performing Tracks like her forthcoming release with the AphroDisiax 'Little Bird' which went down a storm with the Soul Heaven crowd (Pictured below we have Adeola Ranson, Adeola Ranson & Neil Pierce, Sy Sez & Niel Pierce).





Whilst all this was going on in the bar Phil Asher selection king was warming up for Louie Vega, now Phil had a blinding set and as always was an absolute pleasure to watch. Phil played some classic tracks and some new pressure tearing through the dance floor with ease, Im sure Phil was built to DJ lol. After Phil came Louie Vega, now Louie played some serious dancefloor heat with all the usual MAW & Louie bits and the usual big dancefloor tracks, as per usual Louie did kill it with the disco edits till 7:30 am. I personally become more & more impressed with Phil and his selection the more i see him, as for Louie i was impressed but not in awe (Pictured below Phil Asher & Louie Vega).




Whilst Louie was in the main room, Aaron Ross came on in the bar for Neil and blasted out some hard tracks not quite your usual Soul Heaven tracks but the crowd were going nuts for it, playing the most amount of exclusive edits you will ever here lol. After Aaron, Sy finished off the bar playing some deep/soulful grooves.

All in all a good night was had by all, enough said lol.

Brief Hati Fundraiser Review

The Hati fundraiser was good fun and alot of money was raised due to the generosity of all the people their. There were notable performances from Phil Asher, Dj Crookid and the live Pa of 'Circles' from Nathan Adams also Don E's performance of his track with Aaron Ross created a nice vibe inside, for a very good cause. A fitting end to a good weekend of house music.

Unfortunately i didn't take the old camera with me as I was forgetful due to lack of sleep!!

Right Im Knackered off to bed for me, excuse all spelling and grammar issues lol!!
