Ha, yeah, same, saw him once back in 2000, he was pretty good. This was the worst pro set I have seen in my life, and I’ve seen some rubbish.

I knew to stay away from this one. Both MM and CC are way better producers than DJs. A mate also said they packed way too many people in so space to dance was limited.

whenever I caught Moodymann in London it was a bit frustrating. Beautiful segues and nods to genius (technologystolemyvinyl, jan, shades of jae etc) interspersed with REM or dodgy pop. However, mostly remember him turning up at The End once, face all bandaged up like a mummy

in Carl Craig’s case, I just don’t think he cares anymore, which is sad because production-wise he ruled the world

Well there was 2 stages, both outside, add relentless monsoonal rain all night, not perfect. But I got to get frisk searched 3 times by angry security, so all round… u get the picture.
For me CC was the saviour of the evening, but only really comparing to the insulting display of MM. Yeah there was a time when Carl was up there in rarefied air.

Good lord, doesn’t he just?

Seem CC quite a few times over the years. He’s always been pretty pedestrian tbh and think I’ve had the “is he actually a good DJ” conversation 20 years ago. If people are still having the same conversation I’d say he probably isn’t

I’m pretty proud that until I saw it in the news today I had no idea it was happening!

Didn’t Moodymann play ‘Your sex is on fire’ that time at Field Day? Very upsetting.

When we went Optimo recently they played AC/DC … didn’t really fit with anything and kinda killed the vibe imho. Also last cut was “California Dreamin”…

That’s pretty normal fair for Optimo. I feel you just need to get into the spirit ot it all. I started going to Optimo when I was pretty jaded by dance music & clubbing and it was a mind-blowing experience. Maybe it all just worked better when they had their Sunday residence at the Sub Club.

A lot of great Black American producers/DJs/MCs seem to like really shit White rock/pop bands, Coldplay, Maroon 5, Blink 182, Jack White…

I honestly thought it was a snide dig at the predominantly white Field Day crowd… especially given Kenny Dixons more militant early days.
