On
Friday 18th July 2003 I headed down to Herbal in Kingsland
road for the Basement Party. I do have to say I did
get down there very late and I would say to arrive early
as it does get packed out. If you do arrive late like
me then you may have to spend a while in the queue which
I hate doing.
After about 10 minutes we did manage to get in and the
whole place was packed out with people Jumping around
to Drum & Bass.
I had come to The Basement party because I wanted to
hear a different style of House Music which is of course
Drum & Bass. All the different styles of music we
have today evolved from either House Music or Garage,
that really is the simple fact of Life. The reason I
have pointed this out is because this site is of course
called "House Music Inyourface", and a lot
of people will think how can I be listing a review for
a Drum & Bass party on a house music web site, because
of the
simple fact that really its all House music or Garage,
in fact House music to me is just
another way of saying Dance Music.
It has been many years since I had really listened to
Drum & Bass so I was eager to see what was in store
for me. The first thing that I really noticed was MC
Wrec who was cool as he knew when to talk and when to
let the tune just roll, the whole place was really hot
due to the amount of energy been put in to dancing to
the drum & bass tunes.
The venue was very dark which gave it that underground
feeling along with the banging system prevented me chatting
to some girls I had meet in the main room but it was
all good as I if I wanted to chat then really I was
in the wrong room, this room was all about the music.
Even if it had been many years since I had been to a
Drum & Bass event I have to say the music was banging
and the scene has surly come along way since the days
of such pirate stations like Weekend Rush & Cool
FM.
I relized this even more as I left and collected more
flyers promoting Drum & Bass nights at various locations.
Well it really was a great night and it has given me
the taste to go to more Drum & Bass parties in the
future, and in the coming months I will be adding a
Drum & Bass section to this site.
