Booking # 136: Driven AM presents: 100% Original, NYC









Everyone brought their best, most spent the week in the studio preparing for this set, finishing tunes, etc... Really exciting to hear all original stuff from each. Kjell killed it, set of the night, expect alot more from this guy as a producer and NYC DJ. Random Movement and Mixmaster Doc both had great sets, played mostly unreleased stuff, with a few classics thrown in (Stars in the Dark!) really exciting to hear these guys tunes back to back in person, amazing producers. Raw Q set was also quality, he played a bunch of tunes i had not heard, some jazzy rollers, like his 'vital soul' and some minimal deep stuff, really quality. All four of these guys are making fantastic drum and bass right now. I think my set went well, i opened and had a real good response, especially from the fellow Dj's which was nice. Good to hear my own tunes on the full system, which by the way sounded great. The venue in general exceeded expectations, great staff and security, unique rooms, great sound. There was a burlesque show in the main room, very strange.

Thanks to everyone that came out! Great vibes as always when the driven crew gets together. The next edition will be Jan 3rd with Will Miles, DB, Datcyde, Sol.ID, Raw Q, Trigon and me.
