Space DJz at Liquid
Friday, 13 August, 2004
Amidst other blockbuster event series this summer, Disorder returns with a whole new attitude and collects the harder orientated techno lovers at Liquid.
Seemingly to highlight the relevance of the still blooming tough beats sensation rather than adhere to the present vibe of electro, Disorder succeeds with spectacular representations both musically and visually. Perhaps it was just about enough to reduce the event to one room. Nevertheless, on the whole the event still boasted a mighty character since the hopping and rush of adrenaline of the people on the dance floor built enough warmth for a lively atmosphere.
Disorder thought well also to create a special industrial feeling about Liquid by throwing down below the podium of the DJ stand a lot of car tyres. Sometimes it's the simple things that count.
AIl quite impressed with a selection of tough cuts, retaining the happy go lucky gestures in the music and wandering what will come next as the performance of the night. And as time grew thinner there was also room for some delicious break beat.
When Ben Long and Jamie Bissmire took their positions behind their four turntable two mixer setup of battles for groove, you could tell Space DJz were on stage. It wasn't their looks, mind you, more the lack of professional
scratching from local DJs I thought at one point that I seemed to miss. So scratches on separate vinyls with an extra ironic tune made a magnificent intro for the duo. And as I lay aside trying to understand what was going on it finally came to me that the hidden tune was the melody of a VHS movie when it sort of introduces itself as "feature presentation", like welcome...
Indeed there's much more to techno with scratching as I have learned on the night and there's the appropriate break for a scratch that enhances the mix itself. In fact as youngsters Space DJz were into graffiti, skateboarding,
BMXs and breakdancing to early hip hop and electro. This attitude besides the discovery of Detroit techno eventually inspired them to enter the studio and
experiment with break beats and techno.
