James Zabiela

MidweekTechno got a HUGE boost this week as Soul Clap joined up with James Zabiela for an outrageous set the likes of which the Phoenix Landing have never seen! Bass heavy, crowd jammed in like some sort of rocket to paradise overflowing with passengers, we were almost beating them away with a stick!
I haven't gotten to play a show that was so much fun, and so crazy all at once. Soul Clap started early, throwing out some of their new tracks to a jam-packed house all eagerly listening and warming up their dancing feet. From then on the atmosphere only got crazier and more intense as the crowd swelled and danced the night away with the robo-master himself James Zabiela throwing down a set so hard and so origional that it was all i could do just to keep up- but I rocked out the visuals with style and flair, and by end of his first breakdown, I had a scheme down packed. Beat matched and all very robot/dystopia/future styled, the set featured scenes from THX-1138, Tron, War Games, and some vKa$h originals thrown in for good measure.
The Crowds response was intense. They clamored to get as close to the stage as possible for a better glimpse of a show that we will never be able to see again in such a venue. Getting these two big hits together (soul clap and James Zabiela) was so inspiring it reminded me of the days of the Cyber-Trance Movement back in SF, when going to a club was actually going to a show, not just going to a place to get wasted and try and score. House is coming back, and we are all just lucky enough to be a part of it.
Welcome back to life I say, and welcome to our world of full throttle, bass bumping, visual stimulating all around good shows!!!!
