Hazy Dayz - 808 State

[Sully]

1st time i've been since nye but fancied the 808 / dj rhythm combo. nearly a disaster with the mix up in dj times but jammer finished the night off a storm with by far the best set of the night - quality tunes, seamless mixin and awesome scratchin mate....... phones:

feared the worst when 808 opened with bassheads, but every tune after that was what you'd expect from the spinmasters and rocked the place.

couple of trips upstairs and some quality tuneage from mart, mick and dreamgirl - nice vibe up there as ever.

good to see everyone who was out as not seen some folk for a while - wont list names big shout to all the osa who went.

now the strange bit........ i went straight home after and got in bed ffs..... didnt sleep a wink but proved to meself i could do it lol.

another top night.......

 

[hikkyb]

alls i can say is .......what a feckin night

everytime im there it just keeps gettin better n better

 

[STEADMANSCOTT]

looks like i missed a good night then

am gona come again soon lo i promise :$

 

[ScouseCol]

top night as always

wat can i say, great night. stayed upstairs most of the night really. only went downstairs to basically say ello to the osa crew a couple of times and go the bar.

first off I'd like to say a big to saun christopher (i think i got his name right lol) :$. first time DJin at hazydayz in the attic. he was on first and was pretty empty for him, but it soon started fillin up, he pulled out some wicked tunes, played a blinding set and had the place rocking. had a little chat with him as well, top lad. hope too see him again at hazy.

i think i seen mart playin upstairs an all, sometimes i don't notice who's on cause they shadily change over and they're all that good ya can't tell who's playin unless u close one eye and try and focus on the decks lol :$

mick, pulled out some belters, i remember dancin away like uncle nobhead sayin to myself, why the hell would i wanna go downstairs to see 808 state when you're on. class m8

as for you annie, no mistaking when you're on, what a set !! proper blew my head off, belter after belter. i dunno m8, I'm lost for words almost. you are my favourate DJ of all time! i knew u was good but i never actually realised HOW good you are untill you started playin at hazy, but i know now. just simply 'Amazing'.

another top nite hazy peeps phones: finished to perfection with the Jammer mans set at the end. By far and away the best set of the night i was far too fooked to dance by the end of it and if belfast had of gone on any longer i think i might have cried lol scratchin was unbelievably perfect, and flawless mixing throughout not too shabby considering

top sets by the rezzys, even put up with some non piano type dark n weird tuna upstairs for a bit lol

wasnt quite as full as per, prob to do with it being easter n that, but it was nice to be able to roam a bit more freely and not have to change out of my wet clothes before engauging autopilot for the way home

lol @ lou-lou who ran out the back door bit rather quickly.. so i thought she might have been poorly or summet and went out to see..
when i got to the back door she was wandering around noseying down the alley at the back and had just come out to see what was there bless yer

see yas next monthphones:

 

[RetroAndy]

Well wat a great night

Wasn't gonna be coming to this one but sort of changed my mind at the last min and so glad i did. Was good to see the usual suspects there again spesh Sweet who wasn't so well and Lou who is just back for a flying visit

Totally buzzed all night mainly due to the top atmosphere and tunes all night. A quality set from Vertigo spesh when he dropped colour of love wat a tune and wat a reaction that got. Dont forget ya mate Anthem_man lol

A BIG and to Ow do for agreeing to drive a few of us and thanks to ant for the liftage back to dannsters not to mention the tour of manchester trying to find a cash point and a petty station lol.

Also thanks to Din Dan and ste for letting us use your home again while i recovered before my trek back to wakey. Much appreciated guys

Ste that mixing is coming along lol keep up the good work

Only got in a 11 yest morning so even missed me match but i ended up going to bed anyways and didnt get up until hunger striked lol.

Mart just remembered that top chat we had bud and we deffo gotta meet up next time ruths over this way working bud

Good to meet BrixtonTim who has helped me the last few weeks with the PR setup etc. Also met scousecol too i think.

Didnt get too wasted myself so felt like i could enjoy the night and the company more.

FAO Vickles. I aint never seen you look so hammered before it was well funny

Hopefully will make the next one but will see nearer the time.

[blue jammer]

Hazy hazy hazy, a good night all in all.

Firstly thanks to Pauly for driving, and big thanks to Mart and Mick for letting me play downstairs, really enjoyed that, the sound system was really crisp and juicy, just like it was on 9th Jan

Must admit I didn't think 808 were as good as last time they played there, but they had said they hadn't had much time to prepare, being busy with other stuff, but did play some nice stuff, inc the classic ya ya's - looove (nish) hehe

Had a great giggle, and spent a lot of time behind decks with them, and clearing people off the stage making the rekkids jump stupid stupid people, I would suggest moving the decks even more forward to where the speakers are, so there's no place to stand, keep the eijits off there

Worked out well in the end going on last, as Belfast, imo perfect end of night tune, as it slows right down hehe

At one point a girl kept asking me who Andy & Darren were, I told her about 5 times and then she turned round and said "they're shit" lol

Good to meet shorty and richiemac, sure there were a few more I met as well, and of course to see the regulars there, missing in action, to name a few, cookie, sunshine, shooms, Mike, murfs and poshbird, get ya arses in gear!

See ya next month

PS, I thought marts set was the best, but sadly not many heard it, as everyone seemed to arrive round 10.30ish

 

[Shorty]

Excellent night indeed - perfect first Hazy experience. Will sure to be there next month.

Gotta say thks to Debs & Dan for sorting me out a lift and looking after me for the night

Also hi again to Jen and jacksi (spellin' :$ ) - both crackers

Sorry I dont know all the DJ's names who played but they were all great - the only hiccup I remember was that girl dancing at the front who nudged the decks!!!!!

Blue jammer - your set was spot on and the perfect end - pleasure to meet you

Cheers to S-J for being a star and finally dragging on the Hazy Express

Met a lot of sound people Sat night and looking forward to the next one!

 

[Northern Star]

Another great Hazy....and check me out staying downstairs for the bulk of the night.....but i kept sensing i needed to go upstairs at strange times...which i was glad of cus when i did Annie was belting them out....always top notch

Blue jams u blew me away with some o the tunes you pulled out of the bag phones: really enjoyed it....and same with vertigo (shock horror) lol :$ .....colour of love was superb....i think i was buzzin with jaxxi bout it at the time

Think i managed to catch a little bit of everyones set , mart, mick, saun all great :$ 808 were a treat.....the highlight was dropping the stone roses totally didnt expect it

Anyways....many thanks to all my lovely friends who make it worth while....i think we have another hazy convert in Shorty.......was a pleasure to have you along with us babe

Some faces missing...and were missed but with us in spirit at all times

Heres to next month....wooo hooo cant wait for that one (shellys v quad).....and looking forward to meeting you Srge Lead and seein the chorley crew out too :D

 

[mad matty]

[Mister_DJ]

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to say a big massive....

THANK YOU!

to all the OSA crew who came on Saturday.

Not least because it was a very busy weekend in Liverpool and Manchester with many nights going on, incl a 3 room Cream 'Classics' night and Dave Clarke playing at Voodoo!! We learnt during the night that Cream were selling tickets accross the road from the Zanzibar at one point (this was also confirmed by one or two people off here who'd been approached and asked to buy ). So we were up against it and it wasn't as nearly as busy as previous Hazys but the tunes and the atmosphere were still A1 and we are so overwhelmed by the support we get from the wonderful people off OSA...

Thanks to all the DJ's/Guests and people who work so hard behind the scenes to make Hazy happen each month. To SJ who works so hard getting the OSA crew sorted with tickets and on the move . To Ste (Dodgyscouser) for the live streaming and tech support. To Mick and Sharon without whom Hazy would not happen.

Me and Mick will be putting on many different styles of old skool in the coming months ranging from the classic Shelleys/Quad tunes at the next one to a very special Chicago House do in the summer (just wait and see who we got for this baby... ) . Your support is second to none and I hope you enjoy what we do each month....

See you all for Vertigo's 4 hour Shelley's marathon and Andy Carroll's acieeeed upstairs next month!!!

Mart

What can i say apart from a quality night as ever

our night started off early as Stee was doin a set in macclesfield first, which was as good as ever but we had to leave pretty sharpish to get to liverpool :|

I re-run the fun and watched the camcorder our kid took, some classic moments on there

The set of the night for me was the man like jammer blew me away with some of the tunes he dropped, glad you changed your set, good choice excellent choice of last tune by the way our kid was well buzzin his nellies off

i didnt think 808 state was as good as thay could of been, still was a good set tho phones: they didnt look to impressed when some girls arse decided to fall in love with the decks but was well funny when they foooked her off

didnt catch any of the upstairs sets as was downstairs all night, mayon recorded the upstairs sets, or should i say what he could coz i know peeps was having probs with their connections and stuff :|

the usual osa crew was as happy as ever, sweets glad you made it out shabba n debs ur both quality chicks and vickles, wot can i say apart from ur a loon, had me in stitches all night

Hello All - just wanted to say what a top night I had on Saturday considering the mess I got myself into last time with my other work.

Spent alot of time upstairs again - which is no bad thing because it was boss to hear the dj's that were on. Big shout to Sean who played from 9-10:30. It was his debut at hazy and it was an absolutely cracking set. Its not easy to have everyone up on their feet by 9:15 but he certainly did it. Thought his choice of tunes was amazing considering that he had never played there before. He got what the hazy attic was about and the crowd really appreciated it. I went for a bit of a meander but heard Mart playing some class Chicago tunes - keep it up !!!!

Mick - Im not going to embaress you by saying you are my best DJ of all time and that your knowledge of tunes is boss - but I will say PEAS and BEANS and KEYNOTES and TOUR DE FRANCE

Popped downstairs to listen to some of Vertigo's set which was boss and also heard 808 state. One of them played a version of Strings ive never heard before - I was over like a shot to find out what it was when they had finished ...

Then it was back upstairs to do a set for the attic.

In the words of Cartman (South Park) - I love you guys phones:

Big shouts to everyone who came and for the quote of the night from my sister jojo ....

That Warburtons bread is s*** - it just doesnt flop the right way.

Had a pretty good night at Hazy. It was better than the last couple Ive been to. Vertigo played a top set, loads of beefy belters. 808, well they didnt play as well as last time, and they deffo dropped the ball a few times with some dodgy numbers but on the whole it was good (the strings aint what they used to be is a corker I agree Dreamgirl) Jammer played an excellent set, you played this really catchy tune with samples of loads of other tunes in it, it was really old Im guessing, top track must find out what it is.

Went upstairs for a bit sitting on the sofa, boy the tunes are mad up there, and everyone goes for it. Good to see.

Hazy was quieter than usual but to be honest I preferred it. Also there seemed to be more party loving people in there this time, maybe there wasnt as many nob heads I dont know.


The rest of the w/e was a blurr really, drank to much as usual, waffled a lot as usual. I vaguely remember diving face 1st into a birthday cake, think it was sunday/monday morning:|

Shouts to OSA and everyone I chatted with. Maybe see you next month

 

[Mayon]

What can i say apart from a quality night as ever

Thats what you never said to me

 

[nics]

Thats what you never said to me

you cheeky bugger, you must have me mistaken with somebody else!!

i always have a gud night wen im out, ive even got the evidance on the camcorder to prove it

at least i was out and not at home dancing me box off to shamen - move any mountain!!!!!

you know you was having it hardcore shamen styleeeee

 

[Antz]

Feckin ace night!!
Had to drive due to lack of liftage, but actually enjoyed it loads more than usuall :| . Probably due to not bein sat down too f*cked to dance all night
Thought Jammers set was mint, made it look effortless (first time I've seen you up I think).
Got back to Ste's and Dannsters at about 5:30am in the end because of all the drivin about lookin for petrol stations, cashmachines and the clocks goin forward. Arrived as sober and straight headed as when I went out, then left Sunday afternoon as a discustingly fecked, mashed-up excuse for a human being (not that theres out wrong with that ). Had a top laugh, lots of forgetting (frequently might I add), realed off to Ste Huxley, every track I'd used in a mix I'd just done, then realised it had no bearin what so ever on what I was tryin to ask him (thanks for ur patience ). Asked Dannster h"How long does it go on for?" (what I don't know )and ended up stood in the street frightened to go back into the house cause I'd forgot which one I came out of when I went to the car :S , and didn't want to walk into a strangers house. was well relieved when woody showed up at the front door . Gonna leave a trail of breadcrumbs next time.
All in all had a mint night and even manged to go out on the Sunday as well. Come on!!
Thanks to everone for a top night. Thanks to Ste and Dannster for havin us.
