a thank you from me...
edwin birdsong - cola bottle baby (mp3)
so it's the day after, d-percussion is no more, and i can look forward to a good night's sleep.
but i must say a huge thank you to kev and mark from this very blog for doing a sterling job during the afternoon, despite their 'bizarre' (ahem) set time! it is a terrible shame, however, that those two missed a set which would've completely blown their socks off. quite literally.
we picked up tadd mullinix (dabrye/ james t. cotton/ sk-1 etc), who as all of you know is a huge hero of mine, from the airport and brought him down to the festival. what he did next was literally astonishing. having just stepped off a plane, having no knowledge of what we do/ are in to or the vibe of the stage, he proceeded to play the best set i've ever seen at d-percussion.
his first tune was the very selection for this post, 'cola bottle baby' by edwin birdsong, which most of you may recognise for being the sample to daft punk's, 'harder, better, stronger, faster'.
the place went nuts.
he then went onto the play almost an hour of the finest disco, boogie, new wave and italo that i've ever heard. he's a lovely guy, and he will be coming back.
finally, i've gotta credit eleanor marechal for the cracking photos she took of everyone at the sketch city stage (including the corker above).
here's to next year. oh..wait...
