hospitality at matter

the office junglist posse had been looking for another hospitality session in london ever since prague, and friday night was it:

cyantific really tore the place up. as ever, put the bass up on your machine - i've boosted it as far as i can. cameras seem to be optimised for the human voice - they pick up anything in speech frequencies amid all that thunderous racket but filter out most of the bottom end.

london elektricity was a little down on prague, but he had his moments:

matter is a new venue in the O2 - nasty space, at least compared to the theatre in prague, but very high quality sound system.

room 2 was dubstep, which i like but it's a nightmare to dance to because it's too slow. imagine half-speed drum'n'bass - 70bpm or so. do you dance at the apparent speed of the music - a heavy stomp - or twice as fast [ie too fast]? i remember when dnb emerged everyone was similarly taxed as to how to move. my french work colleague had never been to a dnb night before, and she was as foxed as we had once been.

i believe the appropriate response to dubstep is to wobble around to the bass.. ala some wayward psytrance hippie looking for the 160bpm 909 but failing.. =D
