Well what can I say? Where do I start? Oh yeh, at the beginning….Doh!
Firstly would like to say to all my friends that come out with me…..your all troopers! We love it! After playing boy racers on the A11 we finally got ther about 10.30 and the main room was on fire…..Vibes & Livelee kicking off the evening in a true hardcore way. And yes of course we would have like to have seen them play a bit later but they had another 2 gigs to attend to that night….am just grateful they were there!
First person I bumped into was good old Billy Bunter and of course he was getting balloonafied up(balloonafied is a new word for the Oxford Dictionary I hope?) at the stall, 2 balloons hanging out of his mouth at all times, and still able to hold down a conversation…pmsl! You know what Billy? You are a balloon!
But you are also an instigator and an innovator too, so glad we have you as a British DJ, you lead the way and we all follow. Was gutted because I was booked to play at the same time as him so didn’t really get to hear any of his set but I heard from lots of people that he rocked it.
The venue was filling up nicely as time progressed. What I love about nights like this is that your able to meet all your cyber-mates who you have only spoken to on-line but never had the pleasure of meeting in the flesh before, I met so many, a big thanks goes out to all the people who came and introduced themselves to me.
The upstairs room was heaving when I finally managed to drag myself away from the bar, Mr X had done a very good job of warming up the breakbeat massive. I enjoyed my set immensely……the crowd was soaking up the vibes and put a huge smile on my face all night! PS. They do a really good deal on the bar here at The Junction….4 beers for a tenner…lovely job.
DJ Upfront up next…..storming out some some happy hardcore classics…music to my ears. Lost another hour or so chatting away to so many lovely people/ravers..but Oh No!!!!…..Ratpack was on at now…..quickly dash down the stairs and catch the last 20mins of their set! OMG, the room was going for it big-time! Don’t care what anyone says about these guys, they are true entertainers and certainly know how to get the crowd going….MC Evenson is always so, so happy with a mic in his hand, and Lipmaster Mark a very special professional!

Next up was Tango & Ratty……..in a proper jungle techno style these guys played some tunes, had been looking forward to seeing them play at Cambridge…cos Cambridge just don’t see these kind of line-up’s on a regular basis….and Tango & Ratty certainly didn’t let us down…they had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hand from start to finish.
Food Junky and Devious Dee, Danish Mike and all did a tremendous set as well, just wish I could have been in 3 places at once this night. A big-up to all the other DJ’s too…Dribz, , Upfront, Dave Skywalker, Flipside, ESP, Ben-J, Mikee P, Synpa, Trix and of course not forgetting the might MC’s 3Flow, Strict, 5alive,Flexemus, Doc-E, Livewire, Spenno, Jonny Kash and Rizla Dizla.
Don’t forget…..if you ever want to come to serious rave where the people are there for the music and the love, then Epidemik is the place to be….and they make it quite obvious that are not in it for the money but purely for the party factor….every gig they have done over the past few years has always been £10 or under…you just cant beat those prices……wont go on about the line-up’s for the next 2 events they have up and coming, check out the flyers for more details. And I also know that Grant, the man behind these events, would like to personally say thanks to every single one of you that has shown your support over the years, if wasn’t for you all…Epidemik would’nt exist.
