24 Hours party people party

[markus]

Last weekend I attended a party celebrating the opening of 24 Hours Party People in Amsterdam. First DJ set with mainly 80s sounds from the Smiths etc. Then a very good live band covering Joy Division / New Order etc. After that it was back to DJing, and as the night progressed, it got more and more dancey, Madchester style. At one point I approached the DJ and asked him if he had any 808 State in his programme. Before I could finish my words, he was already wildly nodding. Don't know if my 'Acid House heroes' t-shirt gave me away. Anyway, three tracks later and the intro of IN YER FACE was pumping through the speakers. Needless to say I went mental, and dare I say, the crowd too. Excellent night, and the mixture of tunes (different styles, old & new) was something I hadn't heard since those wonderful days at the beginning of the 90s. For a few hours I felt as though I was transformed back to the Boardwalk or the Hac - marvellous...

Hi Markus,

I don't know if you knew but there is a Jon Carter Acid Vocal re-mix of The Happy Mondays' '24 Hour Party People', which was released last year.

Has anyone else on the board heard it? If you haven't yet, you are probably in for a treat when you do!

Peace, butterflies and positive vibes,
