Yesterday’s Day Off was substantially better. I thought André Kraml was mainly a producer and would play a rather mediocre set, but as it turns out, he’s a fucking good DJ, who can do some pretty deep minimal shit, and manages to build up a set brilliantly, right into acid house. Gabriel Ananda also did a great job; the man’s got some sweet samples, and finishing, as is to be expected, with a long live take on “Ihre Personliche Glucksmelodie” can only be described as sheer delight. Finally, Ricardo Villalobos provided a serving of his unique grooves, doing a much better job than when I last heard him, at Fuse—I guess he’s back to doing his thing and not giving a flying fuck about what anyone thinks when he intentionally skips a beat or throws in a long break. Also, there was this one guy who thought I had “happy moves.” Yeah, I guess I don’t dance like a bouncer on speed. Anyway, time for “De Canvascrack!”
