A year after Booka shade’s gig at Gaukurinn where we topped the winter party spirit, we did it again. Last Friday I innocently noticed a flyer while walking down Laugavegur. I was happilly surprised and also disappointed not having noticed that one before. Busy p, boss and member of Ed banger records was coming in town on Saturday, the day after. Out of his, or his produced members promotion, he probably came here for visiting the country and enjoying a day at the blue lagoon like every artists in visit does. Once again, we’ve been stolen at the door of Organ by paying ISK2500, EUR27 whereas miưi announced ISK1500, EUR16. As long as Icelanders won’t bitch about prices, people will steal them… Anyway, coming back into the subject, the party started with President Bongo, member of Gus Gus playing some deep and darkish electro just to get in the right mood. Followed by Arty farty band Steed lord that , I have to admit, gathered the crowd and made them crazy just as it should before Busy P took the place.
The set was amazing. Very eclectic as usual and typically Headbangerish. The best moment I remember is probably “Jeff Mills - the bell“, “Aphex twin - Window Licker” Magically mixed with “SebastiAn“, and “Uffie - Ready to Uff” at the very beginning. I can’t really say how much time he played but one thing I’m sure is that I was on the dancefloor from 12 to 4, non stop. Imagine, the bar counter was nearly not approached at all…
I actually met quite a few faces I know. Mark bell from LFO was here as well ;) I’ve seen Kristin out of nowhere during that night. But that’s another story…
