Thursday night, Second Life means only one thing on this computer ... a night at Soul Mods! It was Kims second night on decks, after her great set at the AAi, and amazingly I think she was even better tonbight that she was on Thursday playing some amazing rarities and crowd pleasers too. It was a sublime night of virtual entertainment with some truly awesome tunes and Albion set his feet ablaze chilling and dancing and having fun.
Its been interesting watching the dynamic duo develop and grow in confidence as virtual DJs, from originally sharing deck duties to now playing a couple of two hour sets a week, with both sets having an individuality and flair that sets them apart whilst still indicating they have the same original music heart. Its no mean feat to come up with four hours of musical entertainment that keeps the punters happy and yet maintains a modernist credibilty. Huge dollops of applause for Kim's sets this week which fully complied with this brief; as does Eden on her lengthy stints on the decks. The two have a similarity of style that is pricked by subtle differences that enable you to be quietly confident of who is spinning the discs and as their confidence has grown the quality and breadth of there sets has also increased until now they must realise they play some of the best music on the grid, and if they dont realise it yet .. well this acts as an unsubtle reminder!
But, back to Thursday. A smaller crowd than of late but hugely enthusiastic and nice to see Josie had traded her tabby for a cool mod cat. On arrival I thought I was at a Hammers reunion with all those bubbles ... remember next time panty check first girls . But the bubbling frivolity soon vanished into a haze of delirious mod sounds as Kim thumped out some anthemic stormers that created a beat and rhythm that was sweetly infectious and had me stomping my feet from the minue I arrived. The addition of the new Weller single and a blast from Wellers past with a Beatles cover by the Jam was inspired [but ask Dugi I am a tad bias, he endured Wellers single endlessly at Moonletters the other day] before electing to round proceedings off with a thunderous track from The Who. I had a great time, everyone else seemed to and I think even the mod cat got into the groove. Awesome night , and I'm looking forward to the next already.
