VICE 4TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

On thursday I was lucky enough to head down to the Vice 4th B day party. This was originally supposed to be in a carpark in Shoreditch however the venue only had like 2 toilets or something ridiculius which considering how many people turned up to the rescheduled venue, would have meant alot people wetting themselves. Anyway the line up was pretty big: Metronomy, DJ Mehdi, SebastiAn and Jammer just to name a few oh and more importantly there were free drinks for a good three hours.
The venue was so damn full that i got lost for about 20 minutes trying to find what room Ruffhousing's own DJ Magic was supposed to be playing in, a weird spanish guy misheard me and proceeded to lead me through about 1000 people to the front of a stage and exclaimed 'here we are! Let's dance!' when i assured him this was not the grime room he stared at me blankly before saying 'You're not Carlos' it was very odd.

Anyway i managed to find the room where Magic, the harry potter of the grime scene, was joined by Frisco of BoyBetterKnow and Big Narstie who looked like a giant Mickey Mouse cus of his hair- its a very strong look.

I asked Frisco to do a wacky expression, here's what i got.

Kooky.

Mid way through the set these girls in bikins turned up and started handing out what i thought was some sort of promo cd, imagine my delight when i got home and it turned out to be hardcore Porn- fantastic! I wish i had known that at the time as i ve never met anyone whose been double penetrated before. Anyway they got in the booth and i took what is in my opinion the greatest photo ever.

After Magic's set i went to see DJ Mehdi who was absoultely incredible, saw him play a hip hop set at Yo Yo but this was even better. He played loads of Ed Banger type electro which was sick but he coulda turned the bass up. SebastiAn after him was good too. Here he is.

Jammer turned up but didint get to play in the end, although i was lucky enough to hear Tempa T perform 'Swing' live which was one of the most life-enriching experiences ever. If ever there was proof that grime is DIY then its Tempa T. I took a pretty shitty photo.

After this i spent about an hour trying to find an after party and even longer arguing with the girl on the door of the vip area who refused to believe my jacket was in there, anyway i got Magic to get it and she got stood.
