So, with work etc all up in the air and holidays left I booked a hotel in Edinburgh for me and my girlfriend. We popped into Glasgow and Liverpool on the way to see friends and family on the way. Edinburgh last night was brill, got to check out a few cool bars, such as Kohl and The Villager, where the crowd and cocktails where like nothing I experienced in Derby or Notts. A very pretty city with a scene that seems outstanding!
The main club there was Cabaret Voltaire, who have had some massive nights there in the past including Hostage and Foamo, which sold out!!! Id thoroughly recommend it for a city break and to check the bars and clubs. Any of you lucky enough to be heading up there this Hogmanie (NYE to us in England) cant go far wrong with Erol Alkan, Aeroplane and Foamo all playing at Cab Vol in a huge one off extravaganza!!!
When I was up there I met with a long time friend of mine Dan and he said he was excited that Style of Eye was playing in the city soon. He is undoubtely one of the dons of tech - tech house sound and I will be dropping a few of his tracks at Filthy Boots this weekend. His tracks are pretty heavy affairs but have an uplifting feel unlike some repatative and boring techno inspired music at the minute. I have a little nugget for you:
Miiike Snow - Animal (Style Of Eye Remix)
This is an original we all known and love and the rework would be good in a peak time set, the vocals and the drop make for a banger!!!!
+ a bonus mix from Style Of Eye himself on Radio1's Essential Mix:
