The Bloke got the flu last Wednesday and we also had about 20 inches of snow that stuck mid-week so I kissed goodbye to my big weekend out. The plan was to see James Blake on Friday night followed by Ellen Allien on Saturday (this was a choice over the Wax-On night that had Jamie XX on the bill.)
Don't you hate it when a plan DOESN'T come together?!
Ellen Allien only seems to make it to the UK a couple of times in the year but she is the cream of the crop as far as Techno goes.
I saw her back in March and she played an amazing 2 hour set that left me sooooo tired from dancing that I practically needed carrying to bed. I was almost relieved to have finally seen her play after failing to entice unconverted friends to come along to Futuresonic (Manchester 2006). They have since repented of their sins!
As for James Blake: Well he's tipped to be the next big thing... watch this space.
He's redone a famous Feist song. It's pretty.
