Moment(s) of Embarrassing lack-of-knowledge-on-the-main-act: 1

On a bitterly cold and windy night (reminiscent of Welly I'm afraid to say) Fi and I grooved along to see Justice. The warm up DJ — Takayuki Serino — was simply stellar and I was busting out all dance moves possible to his mixes.

The guy after him, was DJ Busy P. He was the official opening act for Justice, but in all honesty I coulda done with more Serino-san.

Then came Justice. With the most spectacular light show I have ever experienced. The most subtle of scratches, beats, chirps were punctuated by a flicker of light, a flash of this, a pulse of that.. It truly made everyone experience the music. I wonder if the DJs themselves are also controlling the lighting. If not, it was a true genius who understands the DJs and the music so well that he/she knows exactly what light effect to do and when.

The humongous venue was packed, but was still spacious — compared to my train carriage that morning.

As Justice are from France, there were the occasional audible yells and cheers in French. I was also caught up in the excitement, but my French being, well, non-existent, all I could've really contributed while pumping my fist in the air would've been:

"BAGUETTE!"

"CROISSANT!"

"SAUVIGNON BLANC!"

First class gig. My eyeballs still hurt from the awesome-ness.
