Thats coz we couldnt fly him back till the Sunday Ben Sims \o/ [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKZhgikefXQ&feature=related"]YouTube - Inner City - Good Life (Ben sims re-edit)[/ame]
to put the price of Ben Sims in context, Umek is 3,000euros, so I would imagine Sims is not too far away from that saw Sims at Glasto and he was phenomenal

dont suppose anyone has a copy of this set? remember it being well good http://www.mixesdb.com/db/index.php/2001-05-21_-_Ben_Sims_-_Breezeblock_-_Headline_Set he did another one where it started out hip hop stuff and then a few spinbacks later it was rattly techno...was about the same time as this mix
FYI- one of the reasons we started doing Crispy was because all three of us who DJ for it were really really not feeling the whole minimal thing- I do like some of the influences from it that other people are using at the minute, mainly in the proggier stuff, d nox and beckers, dousk etc etc but we have never tried to be another minimal night. It bored me to fucking tears for the better part of two years and stopped pretty much all of my favourite djs/producers playing and making interesting music right across the board- From lawler to kanzyani, deep dish, umek, etc etc As far as people not booking big name techno DJ's in newcastle anymore is concerned- watch this space
Heres the most recent live set from mezcolanza i could find.. http://maztermaz.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/raul-mezcolanza-liveact-2009/ Superb news squire.
Jesus just listening to this Mezza set now, 36 minutes in and these beats should be illegal! Someone lend me 900 pound coins to get this geezer on in our great city, please?
