Steve El Mannion
played next, then IDC, then Steve back once again. Steve had pleanty stuff to play as always. He could have just
played his No Sleep Till Bastard set and everyone would have been very happy
but he went better than that by doing specially
prepared exclusives for the night itself. one of the
highlights of that had to be Dizzee Rascal vs The Darkness (Thing Called I Luv
U). Bit of a Mercurys hype special. It shouln't work but it does. Safe as fuck smile factor.
Also bit of Yazoo
thrown in there too :) Wicked. He also has loads of other quality stuff in
his set - Electric 6 vs Nirvana vs
Destinys, Audio Bullys vs Death in Vegas, Jaxx vs Rich X, Rapture vs New
Order, etc etc etc etc. Wow. Some of this stuff he didn't even have chance
to play - but they've all been uploaded for our pleasure. Woo.

El Mannion
- Back2Skool Special

IDC
ruled the place - despite cramming everything into 40 minutes. Serious big
ups to Dave for playing. Nuff people came up to me
during/after his set to say how much they were feeling this set. Very
professional and very knowledgeable - big up to the IDC. Big things in the
pipeline I hear.

And then it all went
mental. The reason was James Hyman
and Freelance Hellraiser
did a one on one, tag team, double header, twin, joint DJ set. Fucking hell.
Got everybody dancing. Dropped some seriously
cool/rare bootys. Roy
played all his party favourites - Pills, Jackson
5/Missy etc. James played pretty much everything - but I swear is getting
bribes from Go Home - he played about 3 in a row or something. He
continues... They played for hours. Literally. They could have played for
weeks it seems - no stopping them [apart from the bouncer]. And people loved
it. It has taken too long for this stuff to come to Manchester.
In one review of the night Freelance Hellraiser is
described as the 'best party DJ since Fatboy'.
Those that were there - or at any night he's been at - will definately agree with this. Roy
has to be given extra props for the amount of gigs he's doing in over the
next week or so - he just managed to cram in boom selection inbetween supporting Tom Middleton and The Fast Food
Rockers [no shit]. And if Pete Tong hasn't been blasted out of a job by Mr
Hyman in the next year then there is no justice in the world (Note: there IS
no justice in the world, hence the lack of record deal for Osymyso). .

The past week or so has
been mad. I got into an argument about copyright with the chairman of the BPI
Peter Jamieson and
Tony Wilson, I spoke on a panel @ In The City about (you guessed it)
copyright and the internet and I met lots and lots of music industry people.
I was pretty much the only 'pirate' in the whole music conference. I hope I
represented us well. I met music lawyers, people from the BPI and people with
names like Web Sheriff. Scary stuff but they were all quite amused/receptive
to what we are trying to do. Well, as much as they can be anyway :) Met Tony Wilson earlier in the week
too. Very briefly. This is how it went:

Me: Hi Tony

Wilson: Hello

Me: I'm running a club on Tuesday (hand
him flyer)

Wilson:
Oh yes. I've seen this. Cool flyer. I will come if I'm around on Tuesday.

Me: Thank you

Well like fuck did he
turn up on Tuesday but we soldiered on. I was happy enough with that
encounter on a corridor.
