Pressure: The Return



There's no place like home. Stepping back into the soon-to-be-demolished Warwick Students Union brings wafts of nostalgia and sticky floors. I returned to Pressure last Thursday for the first time in a year to be greeted by reminiscent ravers - youngers who I had watched enter their first D'nB event now fully-fledged ravers. It was a good look. Although the full union (Renegade in The Cooler) looked sparse, the dancefloor got busy and its always fun to step back 'pon stages where I feel most at ease - I feel creatively free at Pressure. MCing with residents Version (long time) and Breakbeat Kaos' Baron was fun, before Andy C & GQ stepped up for standard dancefloor merking.
The next day saw me DJing a Hip Hop-Dancehall-Bassline-Breaks mash up, in the basement at Stimulus (Smack, Leamington Spa)... High Contrast, Logistics and Misterbishi smashed it upstairs. Big ups to Bensun for fixing it up. Back to the old skool, back to the Rootes.
