eardrum last night

Dubstep in Birmingham has exploded. I'm feeling rather worse for wear after last nights eardrum at the custard factory, consisting of a lineup with the likes of; caspa, skream, hatcha, gieom and the standard residents...

Seriously, the energy levels last night were beyond anything i've ever experienced at any other dubstep rave, the sound was sick, the atmosphere was dope and the dj's were rinsin some of the sickest tunes i've ever witnessed. Caspa played quite easily one of the best sets i've ever heard, all his big tunes and new ones, disgusting! Big up caspa last night, he made it. Off to work soon for what will be my first and my last stock-take, seriously retails blows.

Also, I recently discovered some more incredible, mind soothing, cinematic sounds from the French, this one being a relase entitled, "Le Fumeur De Ciel", by Julien Neto.

In the words of Boomkat:

"What makes 'Le Fumeur De Ciel' so beautifully inviting is its delicate naivety. There is something of timeless theatrics about the record, hazy childhood memories of half-sinister puppetry and enjoyably menacing shadows. Propelled by a tireless romantic melancholy, this is a work which confronts tragic loss with an unflinching honesty. Each track is underpinned by deep memories and dried tears"

Light a zoot if possible.
