Heat:Evolution - Review Reported by Tanya Daly / Submitted 14-04-03 21:20 Understatement of the year: "I think it's going to be busy." - Damian, Heat Promoter, Saturday 10:41 pm. Busy!!! Oh, is that what you call it when half of the clubbing fraternity crams themselves into a 30x50 space for a night that takes us through a chronological progression of dance music. People came in droves to occupy every little bit of available floor space in what is probably London's most upmarket clubber's club. (If Tiger Tiger, Café de Paris etc. entered your head, leave this site NOW! And don't come back!) OK, all clubs have sticky floors, but at least in here, it's so sophisticated, it doesn't pull your shoes off. Daegal Brain started off this musical journey by playing trance anthem classics from 1998 to 10 of his mates on the dance-floor. Unfortunately I missed clubbing in 1998 as well as the rendition provided by Daegal because I was standing in the queue outside enjoying the wait with everyone else . I do remember 1998 as the year when clubbing music really entered the mainstream, and club compilations becoming a staple for a lot of people. I was one of them. For a lot of us that had grown out of clubbing after our teens, this is the year that many of us were tempted back. One of the tracks I distinctly remember, and still listen to today, was BT's "Flaming June", and my sources tell me that this went down like a lead balloon. I'm kidding! It was, in fact, the exact opposite and I was gutted to miss out. 9pm is an early time to start and I'm sure for a lot of you, that is the time you are still wiping the sleep from your eyes after a Saturday morning after-party. By the end of his set, the dance-floor was full and the up-for-it atmosphere that would carry through the rest of the night had been set. 1999 was apparently a very different year for EJ Doubell and I. I remember it as light and fluffy, she remembers it as some kind of torture method. The crowd was packing in even tighter, the dance-floor became wilder, and by midnight the place was completely rammed. Her version of 1999 was not my idea of fun so I headed next door to hear Stretch's milder set that culminated in one of my favourites, "Hallucination" by The Edison Factor. This room too, was brimming with nutters. Bring on Spencer Freeland's 2000. This was a good vintage, smooth on the palate, and to many people's taste. None of these tracks had to be dusted from the cellar; most of them are still being played today. Tracks like “Reincarnations” and “Music is Moving” are still deeply loved. The first half of his set had the crowds doing the ol' get-those-smelly-armpits-up-and-stick-'em-in-someone's-face routine in a big way. The second half was still good but he lost the crowd a bit. It was hard to tell if it was because of the music or because everyone started to get tired, and since none of you left the dance-floor, I'll guess it was the latter. Unfortunately, at the same time, Roosta was maintaining his status as one of clubland's leading crowd-movers in the other room. It started off as a stiff competition between him and Spencer as to who could make the crowds go harder, but I'm afraid, Roosta, Spencer won. Hands down. Roosta played at varying rhythms, tossing in a great remix of Rui Da Silva's classic house track, "Touch Me", and ending on the firmer tones. Justin Bourne upped the ante and the music in this room just became tenser and tenser, with Rachel Auburn and Karim following suit, until it had that industrial sound. And by industrial, I mean sounds like a pneumatic drill and a good pair of ear-mufflers would come in handy. Heat lovers, brace yourself, I have another criticism: Daniel Ro. He and I were definitely not frequenting the same clubs in 2001. Titanium has nothing on the hardness of this man. Save me! But alas, I had nowhere to run with Justin Bourne banging it out in the next room. My choices were F****** HARD or EVEN F****** HARDER! Great, I always need a little time to socialise and there was no room on the dance-floor anyway. Another great plus about Turnmills is that there is plenty of seating. 2002 was a good year. Last year was when some of the most brilliant hard-trance tracks emerged (In my humble opinion, of course). Tracks like (insert favourite track of 2002 here coz he probably played it) made Marc French the most popular set of the night. There are two kinds of clubbers: those that are so courteous and self conscious about treading on their neighbour, that they move in their own little space; and then there are those that have hydraulic hips, and arms that come loose at the shoulders. You don't care how many broken noses you leave in your wake. If you say that you had room to dance, I'll know that you are obviously the latter. Promoters: Is this some sort of sick cruelty? Having DJ's bang out our favourite tunes but packing us in so tightly that we don't have room to express our enjoyment. Damn you cruel bastards! At 4am when people started to remember their addresses, it was still doing nothing to abate the canned fish experience. Steve Blake was playing to a now exhausted but still enthusiastic audience. Since he was given the task of getting us up to date, there were lots of tracks that I had not heard before. A fair few of us managed to last until the very end. The second room had half emptied but listening to Karim’s music at this ungodly hour starts to do even the most hardened clubbers heads in. For those of you that have not been to Turnmills, this is what you can expect from the venue (take note: not the promoter, so I don’t want anyone sending me death threats): a) An incredible sound system b) Over-priced drinks (£6 for a cranberry juice and a Red Bull rip-off) c) A more sophisticated crowd including a few Fulham types who hit the trendy little house area d) A stonkingly long queue for the cloakroom. Leave your coats at home if you can. And the bonus of the night, not a whistle in sight! Pleasure or pain. Is this you?? Heat returns on Bank Holiday Saturday with the first ever hard dance outing at London's newest club, The Coronet. For full details on lineups etc click here.

I actually 'felt' that sentence when i read it! In years to come it will sum up that '4am Feeling' perfectly... From: Camden Nurse on 17th Apr 2003 13:55.39 I had one of the most amazing night's in a long time! Bring on this Saturday! From: Bagel on 17th Apr 2003 16:05.53 Brilliant to have an excuse to dig out the old favourites!! Also great to see a tune like Flamming June have such an impact still, 5 years on
