> I had really been looking forward to hearing Gilles Peterson's set, but
what a disappointment that turned out to be! He lost a lot of people on the
dancefloor by starting off with fairly generic and dull brazil beats.
Halfway through the set, he suddenly must have realized that people started
heading off to the other dancefloors, because he started playing some
horrible-sounding euro-dance stuff. We had to look really closely to make
sure somebody else hadn't taken over the decks, but it was Mr Peterson
alright. He did, however, recover somewhat by playing the original version
of Rhythim is Rhythim's "Strings of life", which was amazing to hear in a PA
of that size!! Luckily, Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area) played a great set
right afterwards...
