a few years back I used to kick it at Golden in Stoke-On-Trent (ran for years in stoke, then manchester, then back in stoke, sadly now a car park). Unless I was out of town I was there with my mates every saturday night. There was a bank holiday where they put a night on with a few big name djs and tickets were £25 instead of the usual £10. Got there early first resident warming up with house music created a good vibe, looked like a good start. next DJ puts a right load of rubbish on and crocks it big time (judge jules) he finally gets a clue and comes off after an hour, on comes the next resident banging em out for a few hours, place is rocking. 2 am Ferry Corsten comes on drops some mellow trance tunes that ruined the whole buzz built up throughout the night. He should have got back in his car and gone home. As he didnt most of the punters did. speaking to the residents before he came and finding out what the crowd went for might have saved him, he didnt switch it up to recover the situation either. hows a warm up guy supposed to set him up for that?
