Today Jonny EOL, Kat and I occupied the DJ booth upstairs at the Tufnell Park Dome for about six hours, as the Alternative Bring & Buy proceeded in front of us. Rather a decently sized booth, actually (especially compared, to, say, The Hobgoblin [grin]). Enough space for me to work from carrycases of CDs and Kat and Jonny to use their laptops without us having to shuffle around each other, and enough power points to run all of the gear and also plug in the fan I brought from home to stop us melting in the heat, turning it into one of the most comfortable places to be in the sweltering conditions. I don't know how the stallholders managed it, to be honest ...
Anyway, here's what I played, heading for the 'eclectic alternative' genre ... rather fun to just play stuff for people to listen to, without the challenge of keeping a dancefloor going.
