Just an update on the weekend gone by:
Friday night saw me make the last-minute decision to join Angie, a friend from way back when (when being Secondary School), at Zouk to see BT, one of my heroes from 1998,1999 and even 2000. Producer of some of my favourite Trance tracks of all time, I had been meaning to see him dj for ages, esp since the last time I attempted to catch him, I only managed to see the last 5 minutes of his live set. He did no disappoint but rather surprised me pleasantly with his electro-infused set which veered closely towards sounding really chuggy and housey. His dj-ing, to be honest, isn't all that great and a few of his song selections (particularly noteworthy was the stilted mix of "Sexual Healing") just seemed somewhat uncalled for. Still, to listen to him drop that storming cut of "Flaming June", my favourite Trance of all time, just made it all okay. Ru would have loved it as would have Mistah Moon....
Saturday saw me lie in bed useless in the afternoon before heading out to Max's Housewarming with a bottle of red and a Potato Masher (little was I know that this kitchen implement was to be symbolic of the state of my head that night). Got there at about 7pm and made a conscious effort to drink Pineapple juice for my 1st 2 drinks whilst making polite conversation with Max's mate who was visiting from Zurich (Adrian was his name and he loves his breaks and his electro, twas nice to meet somebody who likes his parties and his beats chunky) and other pleasant fellows like Christian and Ravi before deciding that I needed to sort out my throat with some Whisky on the rocks. Didn't look back after that and a fantastic night jumping around his flat to cds playing Breaks, Electro, House and Hip Hop ensued. Ended up at MOS with loads of the folk from the house party where more drinking and more jumping around the various danceloors was to be had before I finally called it a night at silly o'clock. Some of the nutters carried onto Living Room while I went home and passed out and woke up to face yet another painful Sunday morning. My mum's new name for me is "Mr Fumes" (of the alcoholic variety, such was the intensity with which my body was giving them off that she claims that she could smell them). Had a lovely Dim Sum lunch with the folks after before returning home to spend yet another afternoon in bed, passed out.
I realise that I'm turning into a complete lightweight and that the hangovers are just getting worse the older I get and I need to start thinking about drinking a little less in future. Wish me luck.

Awww man, I really wanted to catch BT in Zouk too! Damn this blasted stomach flu...causing more trouble than the usual. Did he play "Dreaming"?
Yeah, just before Flaming June if my memory serves me correctly!
