walked to fluid. comped. josh wink ovum night 'want yall to get together.' progg. tech-house. techno. took 2 pics w/josh. guests incl dave p. to 2 am. ***1/4*
** my review pt II: .
winx was actually GREAT! fluid is a small/medium size place maybe 2/3 as big as shadow. great sound & air condition. josh plays there every last weds of each month, he lives in phila. In six months ive been in phila he played by far the most forward & future music of any dj Ive heard here. he started with some hard progressive that was cool. then he went into some tech house that got the crowd dancing. there were maybe 80-100 people there he said it was slow but i thought it was comfy & perfect. by midnight he was into peak tunes and he played hard techno! at least an hour and his crowd loved it screaming and cheering the hardest dancing. around one he played more housey but it was still closer to tech house. by 130-145 it was emptying out so i went over to him & took two pics !! Im actually excited to see these cos club people like u know that winx is actually really famous in our world. so a very cool phila party & his techno was awesome, very "now" at least as good as danny howells techno side maybe better. his mixing is fantastic his transitions are on the money 100% not 1 fuck-up all night
guests incl dave P. best song 'everything in its place.' josh played techno progg & house, masterfully. stayed 11 - 2 am. ***1/4
