Soul Cellar RayGun Youth
Logistic and Danny Byrd 22.10.09
It’s a rare to walk into a rave at tem p.m. and it actually be going off, however climbing the wooden steps of Soul Cellar I can see that tonight was one of those rare occasions. Local legends Gerra and Visionobi are pumping energy into the room and truly warming up the crowd for tonight’s double Hospital Headliner.
Logistics’ starts his set with the deep and dark rollers we have come to expect form the Hospital heavyweights. The crowd, hyped up and happy, suddenly erupt into a roar of appreciation for Logistics. And on the first drop of DJ Fresh’s anthem ‘Heavyweight’ the crowd sinks into a low and dirty skank. Logistics is reading the crowd like a pro and mixes straight into ‘War Face’ which sends the room crazy.
Danny Byrd has only been on for five minutes but it’s already clear that although Logistics’ set was peppered with the hottest banggers about, experience is the key.
Bass rolled, feet bounced and sweat dripped, Danny Byrd ensured that not one person was left standing static.
The set was drawing to a close and the ravers are making the most of every last drop and for the second time in the night ‘Heavyweight’ receives a reaction equivalent of what would have happened if a bomb had dropped in it’s place. “Ohhhhh Noooo” can be heard scattered across the room as Fresh’s mantra mixes into ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”.
Watching the crowd jump about embracing each other caught up in the onslaught of killer tracks, I don’t think this night could get any better. But I was so very wronge, in the distance I can hear the inklings of a rumble. A few seconds pass and the crowd are exposed to the thorough filthiness of that late nineties jungle classic ‘Pulp Fiction’.
The already sparsely populated room is beginning to empty out even more, and MCs Visionobi and Influx start to deservedly let loose after killing it on the mic the whole night, biggin’ up their boys as well as the ‘stamina crew’.
