Booking: Inflation @ Club Syn, Derby

This will be the first time that I'm posting about a booking I have played at, well this one had to get a mention. It was a roller coaster of a day, which included me not being able to even concentrate on the Barca v Chelski match!

I've been looking forward to this booking for weeks and the mad thing is that I almost at to cancel! @ 6pm my driver decided to let me down, I'll name and shame you Jaz! lol! So now I was trying frantically to get a rental or look at getting a train up there but time was not on my side! fast forward to around 9pm I just gave up, nothing was working for me! then came Mr Chuckie, who lucky for me lives close by and was also booked to play on the night! pheeeeewwwwww! We linked up and we blasted up to Derby, taking the wrong motorway, stopping by a service station with no food and £2.25 Haribos (wot a rip off) get lost slightly in Derby with Cops pulling us over then in the space of 30secs giving us directions to the venue, all be some type of RAC route planner directions, so the 3 of us in the car had to use some serious memory cells!!

After all that finally we arrived at Club Syn, to see one bouncer chilling and a whole load of cars near the venue only to see a casino next to Syn. I slightly was worried...... As I approached the doors they bouncer was cool and just let me in and I could hear the music load and clear... normally a sign that the venue is empty! the 2 flights of stairs had me thinking on each step... oh no, please, please, i havnt travelled 120+ miles for emptyness! arrrrrggghhh!



So turned the corner and wham! I had my smile back! Now the venue could of had a lot more people but in honesty, the number was very nice indeed! Firestarr was holding it down on deck, clocked I had arrived and he shouted 'Sef come on! Let's do this.' So I quickly set up Serato, and after a live PA from the '079 Me' crew I hit them with the dubplate special of 'Stick Up' by Dotstarr (watch out for that!!) The rest was history, hit after hit that the crowd knew and of course 'Migraine Skank' got the biggest reaction! May I add that I actually think I have the hardest dubplate of that track and if you don't have a dubplate of that track that is AIIIIIIIR! Overall the set was fire and I finished of with 'In The Air' by Perempay n Dee. I passed the buck onto Mr Chuckie who played banger after banger, bashment, hip-hop, reggae, rnb which Included my new favourite track Jamie Foxx - 'Blame It on The Alcohol' if that is what its called!



Overall it was a big night! plenty of vibes inside the place and deffo would wanna be a part of that again.... that club is sick!!! Shouts to DJ Firestarr and his team for making it happen!! The journey home was remembered for thick, THICK FOG!! but also remembered for 2 hours of head banging to Jadakiss' latest hits and some Rick Ross joints.




Hip-Hop aint so bad anymore!

DJ Sef.... TOP 25 TRACKS OF 2008!!!

This is a tough 1, so many tracks came out this year doing major stuff for myself and a whole host of people! UK Funky represents strong in the list but with the mastering and mixing down power of more established labels it was always gonna be tough to compete. So here we go!


1. Time To Let Go - Perempay N' Dee ft Cleo Sol (Soulshine)
Great beat! Fantastic vocal! Warm, soft, classy all rolled into 1! My Tune of the year BUY HERE
2. Kissing Strangers (Feliciano Vocal Mix) - Ralf Gum ft. Monique Bingham (Gogo)
Beautiful vocals and a melody to match... a classic for years!
3. Sunday Showers - Kentphonik (Stalwart)
Wicked xylophone vibes on the South African hit
4. Chantes - Apple (White)
My pick of the UK Funky tracks, badboy vibes and only a handful of DJ's have the proper version!
5. African Warrior - Doneao (Zephron)
He hit the nail on the head with this, got me rolling with my stick with this bassy banger
6. Quicktime - DJ Naughty (Spoilt Rotten)
Pure carnival vibes with this classic but DJ Pioneer has still got the best version (the 1st mix)
7. Sirens - HardHouse Banton (White)
Bass.... nothing but BASS! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
8. Wizeman - Copyright ft. Imaani (Defected)
One of my favorites from the UK duo, big beat and lyrics to match!
9. In The Air - Perempay N' Dee ft. Katie Pearl (Dirty Canvas)
I felt this in my soul and in the sky! Pure club pressure
10. As I - Geeneus ft. Katy B (Rinse)
Sexy vocal and a sexy beat... simple
11. About Love - Knee Deep (Knee Deep)
A track to start the summer with chilled vibes
12. 33rd St, Anthem - Karizma (Defected)
Tech, Broken-Beat, BASS!! Jeeez, this has it all... ENERGY!
13. Climate Change - Roska (White)
Cracker with makes you change your skank to a new climate!
14. Gabryelle Refix - D Malice (Diamond In Da Ruff)
What a refix... a classic refixed... oh did i mention... WHAT A REFIX!
15. How Do I Let Go - Dennis Ferrer ft. K.T. Brookes (King Street)
Really, you cant let go on the soulful vibes of this track.. classic
16. Coke Bouquet - Yotam Anvi (Iwanai)
Sleeper, only the brave pull out this smash.. love the rugged drums on this one!
17. Your Special (Doruk Ozlen Main Vocal) - Soul Creation ft. Stephanie Cooke (Foliage)
This mix has a perfect link up between melody and Cooke's lyrics... BIG!
18. Mirror Dance - Afefe Iku (Yoruba)
Dance floor monster straight from the heart of Congo
19. Do You Mind (Crazy Cousinz Remix) - Paleface ft. Kyla (Ministry of Sound)
Ladies anthem... can't knock this power track
20. Russelology (AphroDisiax Voodoo Dub) - Flowriders (NY Soul)
Massive work on the keys by London's real up and coming stars, superb vibes... casting a spell on anybody who appreciates real tuneage.. you are VOODOO!!
21. Spells Of Yoruba - Gel Abril (Be As One Imprint)
Deep tech business happening, with Afrikaaaaaaaaaa flavor all the way! 419!
22. My Joy (Original) - Quentin Harris ft. Margaret Grace (Strictly Rhythm)
Finally it came out and what a track, house at it's very best!! Production is beautiful and vocals layered on top with perfection
23. Black Man In Space (Sax Mix) - Son Of Raw (Objektivity)
A dark techy beat with a joyful jazzy sax floating on top of it is a born winner... set the tone for this year of house music when released in Jan
24. Nothin Better Then Your Lovin' - T.J. Cases ft. Natalie Broomes (Hardsoul Pressings)
15 years on and the well known 2step producer bangs out some real heat for the dance floor!!!! WOW!
25. Revenge (Scott Wozniak Club Mix) - Darryl D'Boneau (Jellybean Soul)
This guy... his signature vocals bless any and every remix out, big bass line and keys, this is my favorite of the lot this year
