I have been listening to the Prodigy since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, so when I heard they were coming to Toronto I knew I had to go. Or rather, As soon as Lou heard they were coming to Toronto she bought us tickets and I know we would be firm friends forever.
Turns out I got in for free to review the thing, so the situation was even better than I thought.
Needless to say, it was amazing. The sound system was intense, the crowd was a sweaty mess of crazy dancers, and the set was perfect. There were a couple of pretty bitchin' spanking new tracks and plenty of classics, and they made the new album tracks sound phenomenal, 'The Omen' in particular. Took me right back to the days when my brother first brought 'Fat Of The Land' home and I got hooked.
It's amazing to think they've been going proper since '92, when I was just six measly years old, and they can still kick out a show like that. At an hour and a half it was way too short, but then again they're old so I think we can just about let them off. Don't ever miss them if they play near you.
Last night I went to Circa to see Andy C, the so-called #1 drum and bass DJ in the world. I've been to Circa once before and didn't like the atmosphere or the fact you can easily get lost after a few drinks, and to be honest I wasn't that bothered about seeing Andy C, but it was a birthday event and I don't like to miss out. It was probably the best DJ set I've ever seen, and it was amazing being stream-rollered by some mega bass every couple of minutes. I think at one point I almost kneed myself in the head, so fevered was my dancing.
He's playing this year's WEMF too, which is the World Electronic Music Festival they hold in Ontario (despite last year's being the 'final' one), so it should be an epic event. If I really must miss Leeds, I need a replacement festival to give me the 3 days of bodily harm that my physique has become accustomed to. It'll have to be WEMF. Damn.
