decoded_ Something for your mind… Something for your mind…

After hearing what Joris played the night before, and never really being a fan of some of the Bread & Butter sounds, I was nervous that this could be 6 hours on a boat with music I’m not into…

However… I had a lot of fun at this. The time went by really quickly, crusing the harbour on the MV Lady Rose from 6.45pm untill midnight. Lots of fun people around, and good to meet some of the new-school techno kids on ITM.

It was great to be able to party on Good Friday in Sydney for once. The local DJ’s playing back to back warming things up in the main room did a fantastic job, lots of great minimal/tech sounds.

I didn’t venture to the decks/rooms above, with the more disko, elektro, and house sounds. It seemed to be where a lot of of the usual Bread & Butter crowd were, friends reported it as being scary/messy up there, hehe.

It was mostly smooth sailing, with the odd moment of wobbling from side to side. At times we got blasted with really cold wind, across the boat, through the dance-floor, blowing my hair everywhere. I’m glad I took my jacket. I love that feeling of still being on the boat, hours after you’re back on land.

Joris Voorn played for 3 hours, from 9pm till the end of the cruise, and played much better at this, than at Lost Baggage the night before. He was still all over the place style/flow wise, but he played much better tracks. Once again he did the turn down the master volume thing before playing, which forced everyone up close to him and the speakers. He’s certainly moved on to a more deep-house sound overall, no more techno.
