    A little late here, but yeah conference was ill. Not to boast though, but I do believe that our party at the Sony Rooftop building was the highlight of the conference. It was great to see all the Bugz guys throwing it down like they do at Co-Op in London. For those who were there hopefully you felt our effort to put together a party that was somewhat anti-conference. All the bullshit aside, and all about the music and the vibe. It was mindblowing to see Kaidi on the drum kit and the moog at the same time, not to mention he was in the same key as the records the bugz crew were rinsing. All parties involved were happy with the turnout, so for those who didn't make it this year, it will most likely happen next year (if they don't move conference to Vegas).

     

     

    peace

    >The best set of the conference for me was actually a Hip Hop set spun by DJ ?uestlove of the Roots at the BBE party at club Goddess, Monday night. I'm not a huge hip hop head, though I like it when it's good, and I definitely didn't go there that night expecting to spend 2 hours jamming to hip hop, but the stuff this guy was playing was so funky, classic, dirty, and just plain nice, there was no way I was going out to the main room to here Jazzanova play Salsa (sorry guys) ?uestlove was mixing, and scratching perfectly, not too much scratch, but just enough, and even using the delay effects on the Pioneer mixer they brought in. The MC also showed amazing restraint, complementing the raps on the records perfectly (anyone know who he was?) It's ironic because Goddess has over the last year "degenerated" into a hip hop club, where every night you can hear every track you've already heard a million times on the local rap stations... it's ridiculous. However, none ! of the regular crowd was there to witness this spectacular set, and I'm sure quite a few of them would have given their best set of rims just to have been there, had they known what was going down.
