nicky blackmarket doing an old school hardcore revival set above a pub in brighton about 1999.

Probably gonna get killed for mentioning a Breaks DJ in dubstepforum, but Rico Tubbs at Glade this summer was immense. 5 O clock Friday afternoon and the place was erupting. Actually showed up the Plumps DJs a little I thought...

ill be honest. i think that dubchild @ trouble & bass on june 27th was fantastic. as my man said...."he hit LOVE's Gspot"....club LOVE in nyc is sick. enough said.
and then ill have to def say the best thing ive ever seen live was bunzer0. just his selection. his energy. his love for the music. hes just as real as it gets. and you can actually see his passion for this stuff.
he played b2b with joe nice at the preparty we threw in a huge park w/ 4 stages...and they went on and on and on for i think it was about 5 hrs?! pure fucking madness i tell ya. theres video of it. and the night was captured. gonna be very very hard to ever top that. thanks bunzy!

Probably a set by Joseph Malik about 5-6 years ago. If you ever get the chance to see him, do so. He does a lot of vocals on house & broken beat, has an amazing soul singer's voice, but is also a sick DJ.
He was dressed in this long African-style shirt, dancing like a medicine man as he played booming percussive house rhythms overlaced with african and latin beats & tunes, whilst singing over the top. I have never been so compelled to dance in my life.
Also, Mala b2b Loefah (before Coki played out really) at Subloaded 2 in April 2005 at the Black Swan in Bristol was fucking out of this world. The system (Bristol free party rig Dissident) was on top form, and I genuinely haven't heard anything like it before or since. When tunes like Changes, Twisup VIP, Kingstown (aka the Blues!!), Adultz Only(!!!!!!) were fresh, with a system that literally solidified the air in your throat. Amazing times.

Roni Size @ 5 Day Off festival in 'Dam 08
Dropped sick drop after sick drop...
Someone asked if I had any pills left to buy, which sums up the set because I was sober!

I have a few.
Circoloco gang hit mission in leeds a while back. Luciana (or luciano can't remember in this state) destroyed the club. Best atmosphere i have ever heard. Im not too into my house / electro anymore so i couldn't remember the tracks too well but the atmosphere was LIVE.
Trentemoller at tribal sessions in leeds was breathtaking.
DJ yodas magical cinema show was fucking sick.
Urrr can't think of many of the top of my head.
Noisia is up there too.

Bass Clef, Amersham Arms in New Cross a few months ago.
Still yet to see Anti Social on a good sound system, but im sure that will rate very, very highly.
