Smoking with SebastiAn @ Café Capital, Antwerp

Saturday night April 5th, Antwerp @ Capital: SebastiAn rocks the place.

It's no secret that SebastiAn is no doubt the most talented DJ of the Ed Banger crew. We know that, when we saw him show off at Les Transardentes, earlier this year, leaving Brodinski and Erol way behind. So yes, when we entered the club, SebastiaAn was already spinning his hits (guess we missed half an hour). And indeed, the club was on fire, everybody in the mood, no doubt about that.

But still one remark: how hard can it be for a talented DJ to play the same tracks all over again and again and again. I personally like the Banger stuff, that trashy French electro sound. But if you hear the same tracks at Pukkelpop 2007, 6 months later again, and then yesterday in Antwerp...well, that makes me a bit sad. There are so many amazing tracks out there.

Enough said, this is SebastiAn...at 2:28..you'll hear "Phantom part II" :-)


So SebastiAn,next time we meet (Dour/Pukkelpop), bring us a new set, please. Something fresh and raw. There was not one song I didn't recognize all night. If Erol Alkan spins the decks, I feel like a noob 'cause his sets are fresh as pistolets on a Sunday morning (which I had to go get myself, thank you very much).

Kill your idols: Black Strobe

Need I say more? An average to bad performance at Dour 2007. But still...

There's a new album in the stores "Burn Your Own Church" (since June 25th) + the video "I'm a man" is online!
...so let's give them another chance @ Pukkelpop 07 (www.pukkelpop.be)

"Black Strobe - I'm a man"


Still can't find the album in the physical stores - hell! :-(
