BornSlippy...

...always thought it was overhyped and overplayed. Preferred Two Miles Out, Rez, Dark Train etc.

About 30 clubbers, mostly Czechs Serbs and Slovaks, ended up back in my house last Sunday morning. Won't forget the moment it was played, the sight of 60 hands in the air in half light in the kitchen. Very little English between them all, but seems like everyone speaks the language of Underworld...

Its the connections you make on the dance floor when everyone feels the love. Local club full of Eastern Europeans, most of the locals either go to late pubs or the rock disco - myself and my wife among the few local clubbers. Noone parties like the Eastern Europeans, have been at lots in their houses and they are so generous with their drink, food and soundsystems. It was time to repay them a little.

Played Sandstorm & Adajio one night, went down the same, some DJs say they are too commercial for the floor, I disagree, the crowd will always love them.

slippy is a great track alright but Rez rocks also.

In a town in darkest South Kerry. Dozens of Czechs and Slovaks here and they have transformed the place, for the better. Made a ghosttown into a hot bed of trance, drum n bass and house, great parties every weekend. Lots more Poles, and have been to their parties too, but they don't tend to be as outgoing around these parts.

Thats pretty much the exact opposite of my experience and that of everyone I've spoken to (in terms of music, I'm not gunning for a debate on migrant workers :rolleyes: ) - how far south exactly are we talking, south of Killorglin?

Lets put it like this, some of them can only say

'One two three four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah push it push it
Watch me work it
I'm perfect'

And
'Shouting lager...'

In English.

In the local club, you can easily tell the locals from the non nationals becausethe latter are the only ones giving it loads on the floor, while the Irish are all leaning against the bar.

Plus, their women are finer too

cowgirl,pearls girl,rez,born slippy,dark and long all a credit to the band,but in fairness they have some much better tunes in my opinion.second toughest produced some of there greatest tunes but on a commercial basis born slippy will always remain the crowds favorite as most of them wouldnt know any of there other work

Saw them live at the Ultrafest during the WMC in Miami 3 or 4 years ago, highlight of the week for me, even without Darren Emerson they were still savage. They finished with Moaner which is a belter of a tune live. Remember buying bottles of water just to pour them over my head to try to cool down.

Good times...........

You nailed it on the head right there. We've a crowd of Polish birds at work and they're unreal looking, great bodies, the usual, but you wont get within 10 yards of them cause their "shadows" are always with them

Two great albums. They're defo worth a look, although saying that about the WMC, I saw them at I Love Techno 2 years ago and they were poor, just took too long to get going, and we were waiting for Chris Liebing and Speedy J to come on anyway for a 4 hour live set so no competition there, Collabs tore the place apart!!!!!

Must say I know a lot of Czechs and Slovaks and they are only too delighted to mix with the natives and want to meet more, they really appreciate it when you introduce them to locals at the club or bring them to parties. There is a certain language barrier alright, and I know a few Poles who are acutely aware of this too and would rather stick to their own rather than try and engage in a conversation in broken English. The ones with good English have no problems though, particularly the women.

Nah, nobody partys like the paddys and the whole world knows it But the East Europeans are pretty damn close

Slippy is a classic, Im suprised when you say the Irish down your way dont get it, anywhere I go gives it socks when its played.

Again, which club/which town. I know the vast majority of them down that end and, although I'd like to think otherwise, I feel that you're romanticising it a small bit.
