Victor Calderone @ Crobar, NYC. Oct-22-2006 (2 thumbs up)

Ummm, I am tired and all I am gonna say is that Victor done the best set I have heard from him this year. It was simply a solid program all night. The music was played slow, and after 3 hours of Tribal he started spining a mix of techie and acid house songs followed with his dark tribal. The whole club was just too amazed with the set today. He was fenaminal with only 2 hick-ups on the decks that I counted & half the program & about 2-3 hours of new stuff. '
YAWN, here are the poor quality Videos I recorded on my cell phone:

After much needed sleep & coffee, I am back to add few more words about last night...

Victor played his best set yet this year yesterday. Phenomenal! It was better then his first set back in NYC from WMC. He played pure tribal first hours of the morning and the closing hours but in-between he went into deep dark side of acid house. 80% of the set was in slow speed. That sounded awesome. Lots & lots of new tracks were played and among them there was a big number of technoish songs periodically played also. The man was on point all night & the crowd was on fire yesterday. I counted only 2 hick-ups in 9 1/2 hours he played. Victor came with a very prepared program. I can't remember the last time a DJ took me on a journey of music styles in consistent development form. He was going from style of music into another instead of how some DJs making it a mash potato salad.


On a funny side: he looped, "Hoo-a-a-e-E, Hoo-a-a-e-A" for 2 hours every 10 minutes. Sorry, I can't remember the name of the song that its from.
This time it was also a very 50/50 crowd; lots more straight people. If I wasn't going to Europe next weekend, I would of loved to visit DC to hear Victor spin at Glow on 28th.
