Gigs/Feedback

Despite the title of this post, it's not going to be a rant about the poor quality of sound at gig venues these days. In fact, quite the opposite - our soundcheck at The Underbelly, Hoxton Square last night was one of the most efficient I've ever participated in, and the on-stage sound was amazing!

Seemed to be a pretty good gig overall. For some reason, I kept falling off the black notes on my keyboard (therefore playing wrong notes). I can't work it out - either the stage was really uneven and my keyboard was wobbling all over the place, or I'd put my stand up at the wrong height. I'd even made a point of not drinking all the way from soundcheck to gig, so alcohol was definitely not to blame!

Anyway, we had a pretty good turn-out for a Monday night gig on the other side of town. We now look forward to the next one, a couple of doors up from the Underbelly at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen on 21st December! Will post more details of that gig soon...

But no, the feedback I'm talking about is positive feedback. With the promotion cycle for Red Sky well under way, we've been seeing a steady flow of comments from people who have heard the promos. Generally feedback has been very positive, as you can see from the selection of quotes on Urban Torque's website.

I think having a two part, non-dance/dance release has helped, so that Urban Torque's largely deep house-orientated following have something to get their teeth into, and the more eclectic selection fits nicely with our 'something for everyone' ethos. And the beautiful thing is that there are positive comments across the board - lots of love for the original, lots of praise about the Diogenes mix, and the Lazybones dub, etc. Looks like we've got a pretty good package on our hands, and with the wide variety of mixes available we're hopeful of getting some radio support soon.

Don't forget - Red Sky Part 1 is released on 7th December, and in the meantime you can grab a free download of the Diogenes Club Radio Edit here!
