TASTY: It’s a marshmallow world! Reported by bunny / Submitted 28-08-02 08:19 It’s not often you walk into a club in the middle of August humming Christmas carols, but just this once there’s a method to my madness. Yep, it’s Tasty 7 at the Fridge, and what better place to have a light flurry on the dancefloor? As I’ve been telling everyone and anyone all week, tonight Tasty have promised us a full-on snowstorm in the club. Couple this with a line-up featuring K90, Justin Bourne B2B Paul Glazby, Jon Doe B2B Lee James, Billy Daniel Bunter B2B Roosta, Anthony Atcherley B2B Bronson Vieira and more and you know you’re in for something very special. We get there around 11 and already there’s a happy, healthy-sized queue, big enough to get the heart pumping but not so huge that it stops it on sight! Inside, of course, is where it’s really happening. Sod Notting Hill, the real carnival’s going on right here, right now in Brixton! You can’t see the dancefloor for the day-glo, the lighting makes the spaceship in Close Encounters of the Third Kind look like a Fisher Price torch and the place is buzzing like a World Beekeepers Convention. Things are getting livelier by the minute still as a beautifully bouncy set of Hard Trance is spinning out, courtesy of Anthony Atcherley and Bronson Vieira, and the party people are showing much appreciation. Ladies and gentlemen, the Bank Holiday weekend has landed!! Taking things over to the Dark Side of Hard Dance, Justin Bourne and Paul Glazby treat us to a bangin’ set of Hard House mayhem and a packed-out club are lapping it up like the cats that got the cream! Bunny has to sheepishly admit that at this point she was getting into it so much that she only remembered to make note of one of the tunes (All Your Bass – thanks Gurnmaster Deluxe!) ... This happened several times during the night... err, sorry guys!! What I can tell you is that it was a truly awesome set, with the Tasty dancers on stage to give that extra bit of encouragement to the (curiously male-heavy) crowd What happens next is like movie magic...Lights...Bubbles...Action!! K90 takes to the stage. Now his set at HHA was perfection itself but this time it’s up close and personal. I manage to grab myself a prime stomping spot right in front of the stage and from then on in there was no turning back! The biggest, baddest most beatific Hard Trance comes belting out of the synths and everyone in the house kisses their inhibitions goodbye for the rest of the night. Looking round I could see some serious moves going on, you guys really know how to move! I’d give everyone a 10/10 for technique; I’d give myself 1/10 but, hey, what I lack in style I make up for in enthusiasm, hehehe! Then, just when you dared to think it couldn’t possibly get any better, the tune that you were really hoping he’d play drops like an ice cube down your spine. Dreams goes off, the bubbles comes on, the lighting man is evidently just as excited as the rest of us and I dare anyone NOT to reach for the ceiling at this point! K90: We salute you! Time for a little juxtaposition as Jon Doe and Lee James bring on a harder, tribal beat. After the helium-esque euphoria of K90 it takes a little getting used to but once everyone knuckles down there’s no stopping us Before you know it everyone’s pounding air and flattening out the kinks in the dancefloor. It may have been at this point, or it may have been in K90’s set – I was too lost in it all to make a note – but something quite magical happened. Something white and fluffy is tumbling down from the ceiling and across the dancefloor. SNOW!!! YAY!!!! The best idea in the world... ever! Five minutes later and the place is looking like a before shot in one of the more hardcore Head & Shoulders commercials. Thank you so, so much Tasty, it was a totally original idea and came off beautifully. Nice one! Next up came Dave Randall and Karim’s set and I have to say, I’m sorry guys, but it didn’t get me going I tried to get into it but the music was on too much of a plateau for me, felt it could do with a little more variance and breakdowns. Maybe I’d overdone it earlier in the night but I had to take a break and chill-out for a bit. So here comes the final set of the night and I’m thinking I’m gonna make it happen, not matter what. Billy Daniel Bunter and Roosta take up pole position and fire up the decks. Gentlemen, start your engines... From the very start I can tell I’m going to come out of this in the kind of crippling pain that you only get when you spend a long period of time trying to lift your knees higher than your elbows. By the time the second tune drops it looks like 1500 people are trying to do the Hard Dance version of Knees Up Mother Brown The dancefloor is rammed, the laser’s gone into meltdown; standing on the stage and looking out it feels like you’ve slipped into some alternative reality where colour and music are everything. The tunes are coming thick and fast, Hallucinogenic Effect, Revolution (second play of the night and twice as nice...will I ever get tired of this tune??) and many more... We’re all stomping like maniacs and I’m thinking ‘who says that time flies when you’re having fun? This is the best last hour of my life and it just keeps going!’ Then Sim Pat tells me it’s half six. Alright!! Yee-haa!!!!!! Ha ha ha!! So we’ve reached the Event Horizon of clubbing and just kept going. It’s quarter past seven when the last, great tune of the night winds down and everyone collapses. Looking around, it would be impossible to describe the scene without using the phrases ‘blast radius’ and ‘fallout zone’. So this is what distilled happiness looks like! So, Tasty 7; what can you say? Cooler than Tasty 6 in every sense, top tunes, top people, top effects... like they say: Whistles blow, are you listening? In the Fridge, snow is glistening, A beautiful sight, We’re happy tonight, Stomping in a winter wonderland!
