{Too TIRED for a proper review} 7Th City Tour - Los Angeles Last night was a real treat! John Tejada spun a really nice set and good mix of music. He really should play out more often in Los Angeles. Quality set! Daniel Bell did a live set, it was very old school techno sounding. He played some of his classic tunes like Losing Control. I believe his set was only about 20 minutes long, at least that is what it seemed like. Claude Young was sick!! He was absolutely slamming and insane behind the decks. Super dj skills, hard tracks, great at scratching...even with his face. He used his forehead and cheeks a few times. And even used his mouth on the crossfader. All I can say is don't ever miss this guy if you get a chance to see him. One of the absolute best techno djs set i have ever witnessed. As Anthony Shakir put it that was a "murder set". Anthony Shakir started his "live" set right after Claude Young. It was really excellent Detroit techno set. He played alot of his classic tracks like Roaming, Stereotype, Floorfiller, and some brand new tracks that are coming out on his forthcoming album. Very nice stuff!! For those of you that haven't heard the Waiting For Russell ep (Frictional) or "Tracks for My Father" (7Th City) go get them!!!! He also said that "Songs For My Mother" is coming out on Frictional. A SHAKE LP, a DA SAMPLA lp, and others in the works. I spoke with Claude Young for a bit, i guess he has to finish his LP for Djax. He also has another mix cd coming out. The Dj Kicks cd he did a few years ago is brilliant!!!!! I also asked Claude if he had any plans to collaborate with Ian O'Brien again. And he said that they have been talking about it for a while, and it looks like they will. Excellent show Green Galactic deserves major props for helping put this together. PS John Tejada played some brand new songs at the end of the night. Really cool stuff!!! And then it was comedy hour (in the parking lot) with Shake. He is funny as hell! Him and Claude Young talked for a long time about techno, Detroit, and loads more. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
