Awesome. I'll be there at ILT as well.

Damn, Richie absolutely killed it last night. He kept Spirit, a club that's supposed to close at 6, rocking until 8.15! Sorry I don't have a more detailed review, but I'm still a little out of it. For all those going to see him in the near future, you will not be disappointed.

I was there too and I had a completley different experience.

I'll be writing a more in depth review for Future Frequencies (http://www.gothamgrooves.com/FutureFrequencies)

But IMO richie was maaaaaaaaaad boring at points. Letting loops ride for waaaay too long. Now on the flip, when you sat and listened to what he was doing some of it was pretty clever reinterprations of shit in a very unique way. Did it make me want to move? Not really. In a lot of cases I kind felt like sleeping. I probably would have left MUCH earlier if I didn't end up bumpin into a super cute girl and spendin quality time with her.

I saw a LOT of people just standing around throughout the night. Now if you want to go to a club and hear interesting music then by all means go see Richie, but if you're looking to go out and get your dance on, Richie is not the DJ to see. You want a minimal DJ that will make you dance, go see Matthew Dear.

But yeh Richie kept it going mad late. I think though that some of hte morons there like the fool that must have snapped 15 pictures of him as he was getting his shit ready. I had a photo pass and I think I took less pictures than that. (sorry if that was you, but he's just a guy..not a god)

But I digress, what I was trying to say is folks like him would go ape for richie playing the same bleep and just fiddling with the volume just because it's Richie. And a lot of the time he did that, no real mixing of tracks, lots of volume/filter cutoff tricks. And it became rather formulaic. And yeh no other DJ does it, but it becomes as whack and overdone as a trance drumroll when you do it that often. Just as predictable.
