MEMORIES: This would end up being my last Syrous. The first time we successfuly got both GQ and Mickey Finn into the country. Wicked choons all night. GQ was energized. Wasnt thrilled about the location but sometimes you have no other choice. I also played this night but i have no recording of it. Mickey and GQ produced some Wicked vibes straight through. A memorable night for sure, and historic.

I have a nice story from this night.

Mickey Finn was always my favourite. All the awol tapes, every set I heard, he was the one DJ i had always waited to see.

When he didnt make it thru at Champions of Champions, I was disapointed.
( I heard later he couldnt leave the UK cuz he was on probation )

When I saw this lineup, I was ecstatic! This was the one!

So as the night approached, me and my friends where all hyped. we got in early and I recall the warehouse being half full. the sound was BOOMIN, and I mean boomin.


so loud in fact, that shortly after we got inside, my friend passed out. Apparently the bass was too much. He left, with everyone else, leaving only me and another buddy inside.

an hour passed, and we where worried about his well being, so we went outside and told the security guard our story and that we want to check on him, and she agreed to sign our hand and let us back in when we returned.

We get to where we usually hung out and find everyone chillin and havin a good time. The guy that passed out was fine, laughed at us for leaving, and told us to get our ass back down there, so we did.

drive all the way back down to the Warehouse, get to the front, and after much arguing with teh same security guard (who seemed to have forgot our deal) she finally decides to let us in. as we are being searched, my friend is found with a bag of pot in his pocket and we both get denied entrance to the event.

As we walked away past the back door of the warehouse, we hear GQ do his now infamous introdction of the might Mickey Finn. We sat by that door, smoked a joint, and then left.




2 weeks later I spent 40$ on the tapes (horrible recording) at EasternBloc.
