Y3K launch party @ Bedrock
September 7th, 2000

Last month DJ Dust made his way down to London where Terminalhead, residents of the Star Bar breaks room at John Digweed's Bedrock night, were hosting a launch party for the second 'Y3K' album with special guests DJ Hyper and General MIDI. Here is his report.

After wandering around Nelson's Column looking at pigeons, myself and my good lady finally got to Bedrock to find that the guest list was longer than the cue to get in!! After the door man had taken 10 minutes looking for our names with everyone staring at you with "Look at dem blaggers" written over their faces, we finally got in.

We walked the steps to the Star Bar as the bass hit me square in the face. Mr. Spee from Terminalhead stood in front of me he and asked if I'd seen a ghost!! was I that scared!! Yes Nightnurse was banging out bass heavy dirty funked up nu skool. The room was already packed and the floor was full already!

Nightnurse finished with Vigi & Flip's 'Freak Frequency' (the original mix) and Uberzone vs Rennie Pilgrem: Black Widow. Mr. Spee was back and forth MCing before introducing the Terminalhead Sound System who play the tech breaks style we all love, dropping the Terminalhead remix of Hyper & Dylan's 'Trigger' before finishing with the Timo Maas mix of Azzido da Bass 'Dooms night' - are there any other mixes in existence I don't think so..!

DJ Hyper

DJ Hyper, man of the night, then steps to the decks to unleash his Y3K sound as well as a mix of breaks techy progressive that makes him a true breaks pioneer with all those secret records that no else can get hold off, Hyper has 'em and uses them to full effect. From BT: Fibonacci Sequence to the Plump DJs 'Scam' that is the tune of the night - hairs go up on the back of my neck and I get the uncontrollable urge to scream!! Even Graham Gold was seen wandering around and hovering around the DJ box giving props to Hyper.

General Midi takes the decks for a more breaks trance set with deep percussion and basslines. He raises the roof with a few choice remixes and he's got a lot to choose from as he's been a busy boy of late - Silvio Ecomo: Standing (General MIDI remix) a personal fave - before doing a back-to-back with Hyper to finish off the night.

DJ Hyper's amazing album 'Y3K: Soundtrack to the Future' is out now with tracks from Hybrid, Way out West, Timo Maas, General Midi and loads more. Visit Terminalhead's home page for more Bedrock info and lineups.
