The Big Chill Winter All Nighter
December 8th 2001, Ocean, Hackney, London.

This gig took place the following night at a relatively new venue in London Town. Again, a superb lineup, consisting of Royksopp, FSOL, Lemon Jelly, Yonderboi and Kinobe to name but a few - it promised to be a good night.

I was due to DJ in the main room after Garry Cobain (FSOL). His set was interesting, but he managed to clear the room early on in his set - he was attempting to translate his Lulworth Castle set (which had been a rip-roaring success) to an indoors venue, and it obviously wasn't working. So I was called upon to go on earlier than I'd been expecting... I met Garry on stage - he looked like a rabbit in the headlights - and then proceeded to play a pretty dance-orientated set.

It went down real well. The room filled up again, and I finished the night with a rendition of 'Beautiful House'...
