Godskitchen X-Mas Party

[Max Kane]

Gods have released the preliminary lineup for their best party of the year. The X-Mas party! For the first time in as long as I can remember Jules isn't on the bill but I can just about forgive that due to the fact that Mr VB gets 5hrs.

Xmas Party 22nd December

Armin 5 hour set

Blake Jarrell

Mark Eteson

Anyone else fancy a festive knees up?

[Briggsy]

Oooh I quite fancy that! I know the first two hours of Armin will drive me mad because it'll be a proggy yawnfest, but once he gets into 5th gear, he'll be awesome

I duno mate, it depends how they structure things. I imagine Jarrell will be keen to make a good impression on his Gods debut so he sould set things up nicely. Armin will probably be playing somethin like an 11-4 or 12-5 with any luck.

His proggy sets working thru to the trancey stuff are by far his best imo

[Max Kane]

Well his proggy sets or the sets he plays after Schulz has been on. The nights I've seen Markus followed by Armin have always been excellent

I duno why you bosh-monkeys get to the club before 2am

[Gregg]

booked my ticket. either Blake Jarrell wil be on early with Eteson closing, or Armin will do the last 5 hours, which will be my preference tbh.

[Max Kane]

I prefer Armin playing the set prior to closing. I'm probably really biased being as I enjoy hearing him play some progressive tracks but I always find he plays better then anyway. Get Eteson on last to bang it out

[Briggsy]

I really like Eteson's closing sets. Lots of energy in his sets. His warm-up sets tend to bore me a bit - but then I hate warm-up sets anyway.

Bosh Monkey!

Eteson is nowhere near as good at opening or closing as O'Bir was, but his stronger suit is closing the night. His warm-up sets are pretty unimaginative, it seems like he just flicks thru the last few episodes of ASOT and plays every track from the opening half hour

[Briggsy]

I don't think that's Eteson's fault though to be honest. I think his natural sound is a harder sound, whereas Jon O'Bir's was calmer stuff.

Jon O'Bir wanted to reduce his gigs for personal reasons, and with Gods going monthly, I think they decided to stick with what they had already - and that was Eteson. I think if they had remained fortnightly, they'd have brought in another specialist warm-up DJ, and kept Eteson for the closing sets.

Turnmills is the same with Gavyn Mytchel. Great warm-up DJ, but he really kills the night as closing DJ. He takes the pace right down again.

[Max Kane]

O'Bir was the best ressie Gods ever had, they seemed to phase him out & Eteson in pretty quickly. O'Bir could nail a set anytime of the night. I saw him play warmups for Sasha & Schulz as well as coming on after Armin & playing a peak set prior to PvD, I was never dissapointed with any of his sets. Eteson hasn't really impressed me yet

[Briggsy]

Jon O' Bir is still officially resident according to Mark Eteson.

Godskitchen didn't want to lose him, but I did an interview with Mark Eteson recently and he said Jon O'Bir has cut all of his DJ'ing gigs down due to personal commitments.

[Max Kane]

This is apparently almost sold out, just to alert anyone who is still mulling it over
