We DJ'ed at Camden Crawl on Saturday. Prettttyyyy good times to be honest. Even though we set off from Manchester at 6am Saturday and got back 6am Sunday, meaning a very sleepy drie home at 3am. It was totally worth it though.
First of all, after Sat Nav told us "You have reached your destination" (we hadn't), we managed to find the venue- an awesome church with the light streaming in through stain glass windows and incongrous Red Bull promo posters stuck up next to the Stations of the Cross!
Kitty, Daisy and Lewis were playing at the same venue so we hit it up with some 50s and 60s stuff- although by the end of our set we had reverted to type and played Ignition (Remix) as well as Blink 182. We alternated sets with the Answering Machine + Holly and Chris, although by the end as the stragglers left me and Forrest hit it up with some Fatboy Slim vs. Friendly Fires.
We managed to catch Hatchem Social and S.C.U.M during the day and Televised Crimewave and The Big Pink later on- all amazing sets. The one thing I didn't expect was the sheer amount of queues and some guy entertaining everyone but me, Forrest, Taniya and Claire with magic tricks (we were too small to see over peoples shoulders, boo!). We ended up at the aftershow party as well where Carl Barat played (which excited only me I think- but who cares, Libs were a seminal band back in the day!!). After trapsing up and down Camden my feet were pretty sore but we managed to cut down some walking time by sneaking through the market (led by Chris) and although we got busted by security we managed to sweet talk him into leading us through the Camden underworld and letting us out the otherside to the venue.
Pretty sweet day all in all!!
