@ Globe: Tonight was the launch of The Ministry of Sound’s 3rd Breaks album mixed by Kid Kenobi. By the time we arrived at 11:30 the place was packed to mosh-pit proportions. Not quite the thing if you were hoping to be able to break out the dance moves – which you inevitably do when it comes to good breaks. Downstairs James Taylor ripped out an eclectic set of breaks while upstairs Frenzie pulled out a heap of party numbers to prepare the crowd for our number 1 DJ (two years running).

Now I will always have a special corner in my heart for Mr Desenberg (he introduced my friends and I to real dance music during an inconspicuous UTS party in which I asked him who he was and made him have to repeatedly point to his name on the nearby lineup sheet during his set – “Q45?” “No! Kid Kenobi!” “What?” “Kid Kenobi!”) That was almost two years ago, and KK has been getting bigger and bigger, as was evidenced by how tight the floor was when he followed behind a beefy security dude carrying his records for him to get to the DJ box.

Perhaps it was hopes too high, perhaps it was a memory clouded in nostalgia, but KK seemed to bring out a lot used and ordinary breaks tracks with little inspiration. Well here’s hoping to next time!
