My review of Private Planet: John 00 Fleming / Seven Ways @ CDL - Friday May 10th 2013 I was lucky to arrive in time to hear John 00 Fleming (I had to park my car at the end of the city... this shouldn't happen to a guy owning a small Focus. The ad lied). I only heard 3 tracks by the DJ playing just before J00F, Johnny Messina, so I can't review anything about that set. Let's skip to J00F. John 00 Fleming is my favorite DJ (along with Mark Sherry) since 2009 or so. I was being introduce to his music in 2008, without paying much attention to it. It was only a year later that I discovered the magic with his Psy Euphoria compilation. From then on, my passion for his music grew each day. Yes, don't laugh at me, unlike many old schoolers here and there, I only caught the passion for Trance Music in 2005 at 16 years old - and missing the golden age of Trance and raving at the same time - with 'Tiësto - Adagio for Strings', which is Trance's greatest masterpiece ever (sorry for repeating myself, I'm getting '0ldz' I guess). So it makes sense I didn't know J00F before that time, unfortunately. I'm saying it right now, I was a bit disappointed by J00F's set, still very enjoyable though, but far from his last set at CIRCUS Afterhours in 2010 and especially his one at Black Light 7 in Quebec City (review linked into the comments), which are the type of sets you could expect from a DJ like him. He is an underground DJ that had to play for a non-underground crowd. Any good DJs are adapting to the crowd in order to make dance most of it. That's what he did. J00F probably remembered how was Montreal the last time he came. He remembered that only 3 to 4 people, on the 10 ones standing on the dancefloor, were able to dance to his music. At Commission Des Liqueurs this last Friday, he went proggier, playing Progressive Trance and some Progressive House, nothing too underground this time, such as Neelix, which fits everywhere. He started at 126 bpm, ending at 134, or nearby. He tried several times to crank it up above 134bpm with Psy-Trance, but slowed down immediately as he suspected the crowd to leave the dancefloor. So he went back to Progressive Trance at the end of his set. I don't think he could have played differently, with psy-trance at higher BPMs, in a venue such as this private room at CDL. The music chosen fits perfectly the intimate vibe, it is not peak hours after all. The problem is probably only me that wanted to hear J00F playing at peak time. But again why do you want to hear John 00 Fleming if he's playing an opening set? Next time, the booking should be targeted for the psy-trance/underground scenes, that's the scene where J00F belongs. I still had a wonderful time enjoying such good music, it doesn't always happen to get decent Progressive Trance in the city, or should I say it never happens (aside from Basil O'Glue). It's just that I'm used to hear J00F mixing without any limits. After J00F's set, it was Seven Ways mixing for 1 hour. John 00 Fleming and Seven Ways are always together wherever they are booked. The match is always perfect, whether on the radio (link just under) or in real life. Seven Ways started on some banging Progressive Psy-Trance, choosing to up the level a bit after J00F. Then went to Hard Uplifting and harder tech-trance as most of the crowd didn't seem to enjoy Psy at harder BPMs but rather Uplifting and Tech-Trance. His selection was wisely done as always. Closing on '3rd Earth (Heatbeat Remix)' Next review: MAINFRAME John 00 Fleming's Global Trance Grooves 109 with guest Seven Ways: [ soundcloud.com ] |
