demids Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Hello all,just got back in the comfort I call home here in London and wanted to say a massive massive thank you to everybody that turned up last Friday at Maze.The club is how everybody has been describing it: quite breathtaking both in terms of sound and size and was an absolute dream to play on.Have had some incredible feedback from many people which means so much to me.What happened on Friday is what I hope will be the start of something solid that can be built on at Maze. It has the potential to be similar to the ethos of Fabric in terms of pushing new and diverse sounds to the Miami scene instead of the usual bog standard ploddy tribal you hear for 5-6 hours straight all night in Miami and though what I played didn't it seems appeal to some of the people in attendance, I am not going to change my way of playing to appease. I have to respect every man's opinion and will admit that i cannot possibly please everybody who turns up to see me play.My intentions from the start have been to re-create the same atmosphere that has made Deeper Substance here in London a success story so far, in terms of both crowd but more importantly, the music.I hope that I went in some way to achieving that on Friday and I am very much looking forward to a lot more DS parties being thrown there later this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vipnerd Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Demi ... I can assure you 99% of the crowd was sold last Friday ... Good luck this Saturday for the opening nite of Deeper Substance at Thirteen ... Alex ... you ... and James Zabiela ... I only wished I could be there ... Can't wait for Conference! ... should be massive ... :eek: I'll share w/U a review featured in www.cooljunkie.com ... enjoy!________________________________________________ You normally only get visuals from him, but our star photographer Dan Vidal checks in with a review of Demi's appearance at Maze... Friday wasn't looking too good. Freezing cold temperatures, and a minor case of congestion had me feeling a bit rotten. Despite this, I was going to go to the much-anticipated premiere of the Phat Music Sessions in their new home at Maze. One of two major parties making their debut at Maze this weekend, Phat Music Sessions, by local scenester and all-around good guy Marco D., brings in fresh talent from overseas, as well as two promising residents, Chris Duque and Francisco "Mono" Henao. The last PM Session made waves at Reserved when up-and-coming DJ (and Danny T's "favorite Greek boy") Demi kept a crowd of 200 people dancing from open till close on a Thursday night. Eager to see what he could do with a Friday night at the most technologically advanced club in Miami, Maze and the PM crew booked Demi for an encore set. Chris and Mono started the night off well, delivering a funky progressive sound to the already-building crowd. Watch out for these guys, 2003's their year. Around midnight the usual suspects showed up to take in the sights, including CJ contributor Daniel Andrew, GU messageboard honcho James Sheridan, and the rest of the "CP Mafia". Trusty Pentax in hand, I did the obligatory round of photos while everyone was sober, and wormed up to the DJ booth. Mono's on the decks, handling the unfamiliar X:one V6 mixer flawlessly, and Level's Jorge Tellez is taking Maze's impressive lighting array through it's paces. Around that time, marketing and VIP director Carla comes up with Marco and the hero of the evening Demi. Sporting my blue Deeper Substance shirt, Demi eagerly greeted this photographer, and proceeded to get settled into the booth. By then the crowd had swelled, with the dancefloor already moving when Demi took to the decks. Expecting a soulful set like I had experienced at the last Deeper Substance party, I was surprised when Demi came out of the gates with a mix of progressive and tech tracks, clearly playing for the room, and the massive Funktion One sound system. The crowd ate it up, track after track of energy spewing forth from the cabinets. Maze had on it's hands the most successful Friday since their opening. By then, word had spread of the event. Local scenesters began to show up, including Carmel Ophir, Roly Aspuru (engineer of Maze's amazing sound system), Biz Martinez, and upcoming star DJ Roland. The true surprise visit was from DJ Erick Morillo, who is reportedly quite impressed with the venue. Take it for whatever you want, but I'll go on record as saying Erick would do well to play Maze. Demi clearly knew how to work the crowd, keeping pretty much everyone glued to the dancefloor until closing time, and even beyond! For sure, this is the party to watch in 2003. Combining stunning resident and guest DJs, a spectacular venue, an amazing visual element, and a quality crowd, PM Sessions and Maze are a new force to be reckoned with in Miami nightlife. ___________________________________________laterz pal ...
