Heya.
So. Friday was quite something. I'm pleased to say that everything went off without a hitch, everyone played great sets, and I think it's safe to say that everyone had a great time.
As it turns out, Steve Aoki is a pretty nice guy. I would also say, surprisingly... unassuming. Or at least, that was my experience. But holy shit, when he gets up on stage, and grabs that mic, and starts doing the scream-along to Warp - It's quite something. Great performer. His set definitely had some hit and miss moments though - his close association with all the acts on Dim Mak bleeding through clearly - often leading to an unfortunately homogenized sound. Which is not entirely unexpected, hell, maybe it's exactly what you wanted.
But hey.
Either way, my part of the show went very well indeed. Having said that - here's my set from the night:

P.s. In case you think I'm simply going to ignore the other DJs who played on the night, I have a whole separate post planned focusing on my favorite Cape Town based DJs and producers. Look forward to it soon!

Yo Phil
nice set, just a teany bit jealous i missed it live.
steve aoki....rly? -.- *sigh*
really nice job, but please write Thomas Bangalter instead of Bob Sinclair for Gym Tonic ;)
Great set, Phil!
Doesnt matter what Aoki played, i would like your set better if i was there.
Thanks everyone, I'm glad you guys like it.
Also, love or hate him, as people seem to do, I'm simply letting you know what the show was like. Aoki or no Aoki.
And as far as Gym Tonic goes-
You certainly have a point, but I'm going to be a fence sitter and credit both. Which I think is fair.
Congrats! Hope you had a nice time playing, and from the sound of your set you're exactly the kind of DJ I hope to be someday.
digging the set, where can i find that ray parker jr. remix?
