With such a thriving music scene Sydney is at the forefront of the nightlife in Australia... As i enjoy the international and homegrown acts that are brought to syd dance floors, i feel it is appropriate that we start serving reviews as part of the DF! menu. For a taste test is a quite belated review of Drop The Lime at Chinese Laundry. If you do not know Chinese Laundry (however expensive it may be) is a damn fine venue. Case study being a friday night in which i met The Bloody Beetroots, Drop The Lime and that is not to mention the music that they were dishing out. Props to the in house DJs there including Marky Mark and King Lee who always deliver a great set. DTL being the International that night played about a two set - of which he told me later was only really using one turntable as the other had broken. The now electronically disabled Drop The Lime impressed banging out a wicked set. Well worth the pacific commute this Brooklyn Banger filled his set with originals, dirty dubbing beats and crowd grabbing vocal fills. Overall i am glad i went as i missed out at Stereosonic (damn the shit organisers) on his internationally acclaimed set. The only criticism is that one of my favourite tracks of his was not played. Another thing to note is the venue and Chinese Laundry this weekend are hosting the brotherly combination of Kid Kenobi & Hugga Thug known as Two Fresh so go check them out. Drop The Lime's set had me dancing and in every tune all night so it deserves its high + rating - a great start for many set reviews in the future.
