Knowwhere - Review

Reported by Igg Magud / Submitted 24-02-03 18:58

It's a freezing Friday night in London in January, and out on the streets the look is very much Arctic Survival. Ambient temperatures hover around what drunken native Inuit would class as "nippy" with a wind chill that feels like it'd be measured in negative degrees Kelvin. It's the kind of chill that makes Northface Extreme Polar Jackets in Emergency Locator Beacon Day-Glo Orange shades oh so de rigueur darlings.



But walk through the doors to Knowwhere in the Soundshaft, and you get to experience a Trade-esque Gay Sauna temperature gradient. Walk in at 5 past opening and you're blasted with a pumping trance beat, club filling up fast, blokes already with their shirts off, and girls peeled down to a sort of Jerry Springer Strippers Special minimalism. With a first serving starting at 10pm, the "Infamous Barney Bell" lived up to his name and served up a platter of somewhat famous euphoric, banging uplifting trance. His stylings obviously found favour with a bunch of the punters, if shirts-off and absolutely f**king having it is anything to go by.



Next to follow was Club Maitre D' Pablo, who added dollops of his own hard-edged trance with lashings of hard dance on the side More Trance Sir? Ocean Force was at hand to delve out more of the same welldone thank you very much, which coincided with the release of his new single Elevation 002 from the Elevation Records stable. Mains this evening were prepared and served by Kiwi Mr Tony "Thunder from Down Under" Burt. Tony heads up Above the Sky records, and he certainly kept the crowds hands firmly Above their Heads with some monster anthems and sizzling tunes. To finish we had the ever-bubbly Mr Anthony Dean. With the knobs set to "phat" Anthony delivered tune after tune of quality uplifting trance of the kind that we've come to expect from the man. Anthony's energy never ceases to amaze me, it can be 7 in the morning on his fourth set for the night and he's on the decks with his arms flapping about like a Sicilian Greengrocers, squirming in the booth like he needs to be wormed.



With the music off and the punters chanting for just one more, it's sadly time to leave after a blinding night of big tunes and frenetic dancing. Walking out the door after the night we've just had and you're in for the kind of thermal drop normally only felt by sudden cabin depressurisation at 39,000 feet. Another brilliant evening from the Knowwhere crew, and if its well done trance you're after in a great little venue, make sure to come down for their monthly cook up. Dinner starts at 10.


The next Knowwhere event is on Friday 28th February at the Juno Rooms, Turnmills. Please note the venue change which is for this event only and is due to circumstances beyond the promoters control. For full details on lineups etc click here.
