Nice selection including Shaggy&#8217;s &#8220;Stricly Rub a Dub&#8221; and a mash up of Max Romeo&#8217;s Chase the Devil instrumental with the vocals from the Beatles&#8217; &#8220;Day In The Life&#8221;. Also some mad jungle mash ups including The Congo&#8217;s &#8220;Congoman&#8221;. He did great considering the place was half full and nobody was really &#8216;aving it.

It&#8217;s been too long and the arrival of both Flowdan and Ricky Ranking heralds yet another leap in levels. Mark Stewart also MCs over some Bug beats. The audience responds in kind, the gaps near the stage fill up, bizarrely a load more girls seem to appear from nowhere. We all ended up staying much longer than we&#8217;d intended. Things like that interfere with my work life balance. Heh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other night was a blast.
