Heaven is the backseat….. Of my Bed

*update* Pictures are now up from push, either click the image or here

I’m having to write this post in the move, trying to move the photo from the bottom, as I managed to say yes to going to the airport to meet London Calling’s live act, The Crystal Fighters, from the airport (My decision making skills go way down for the first 5 mins after waking)….

Last night I was at Push in Fujisawa which proved a nice change of pace from the full on House of Friday night and the silliness that tonight will bring. DJ Dante was as always the highlight of the night slamming some old school funk and house tunes blended with some almost tribal house, nice. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is nothing beter to pick up a tired crowd than some Disco Soul and last night I was close to collapse when “Love Sensation” (of Black Box sample infamy) came into the mix and it was like an aural hit of energy which kept me going until the trains were running.

Kudos also has to go to the live trumpeter which definitely added a fresh element to the mixture. I’m always a fan of live instrumentation in clubs and wonder why we don’t see more of it…

Tonight was going to be 100% London Calling but now I hear DJ Spen is playing at Air and I think his status as a house legend means I have to pay him a visit. Just a shame it’s at Air (dirty treble, surly staff, pricey cover and soft drinks) but you can’t have everything.

Keep tuned to Twitter for more updates, hope everyone at the Rooftop is having a blast…
