Inbound Thinking

This night was a blast, good music and a great group of friends. I got to Underbar early to help set up although Greg and Joe weren’t there yet. Anyone who knows these two can tell you they are perpetually running late, despite Greg being able to drive between 2 points ridiculously fast. I spent some time chatting with Dana, the light girl for the night. If you meet her ask to see her sketchbook, the stuff she draws with a regular ballpoint pen is amazing.

Greg kicked things off around 11 with his normal Miguel Migs type of deep house. Good sounds for filling the room a bit, but Greg was restless and told me that he wasn’t going to hold back for long. So, soon after, Greg was rocking into bigger tracks. The crowd seemed to be receptive but Underbar is a strange place, they never like the same music twice. They got all worked up for the Funkagenda remix of Man With The Red Face, a track you normally wouldn’t consider to be a hit there. But no complaints from me, or Greg; the people were dancing, what more can you ask for.

Joe hit the decks sometime before 1am. It seemed like time was flying and I remember Joe dropping some harder stuff and the lights going crazy. Way too much strobe light, I swear that is the only light they know how to work at Underbar, but I digress. Other jams included Eric Prydz’s Pjanoo and a very banging remix of Livin’ on a Prayer, if you were there you might remember Joe, Greg, John Issac and myself doing a bit of karaoke to that track from the DJ booth. There are some priceless pictures of us singing by Mikey McNulty.

It was great to see lots of music industry folks in the house: Craig Mitchell, Etiquette, D-Lav, John Isaac, and more. My highlight of the night was walking away from the bar with a martini only to have it splashed all over me by a rogue elbow. Thankfully the owner of that elbow got me a replacement, it wasn’t even my martini to spill!

In summary, it was a great time. Greg and Joe always put out quality music and if for some reason you have never heard either of them play you should probably change that, there will be lots of gigs with them this summer to check out, fun times guaranteed and maybe even a karaoke session.
