Last Night Of Swerve At Cable
Drum and Bass | Thursday 26th July 2012 | Osh
Last night was a big night for liquid funk - the last Swerve party by Fabio took place at Cable.
There was a special, kind of sentimental vibe in the air, generated by many of the regulars who came through for one final Wednsday rave on old-school drum'n'bass sound. Not only the music was old school, though. After 3 o'clock, when the kids on MDMA who accidentally stumbled into the club took off, the core of dedicated fans kept going: they were here for the music, to say goodbye to the party they've been going to since they were about college age in the early nineties. Jokes aside, Fabio delivered maybe more than usual, in a powerfully musical set sprinkled with dashes of jungle to pull the dancefloor out of the funky trance of the flowing bass.
Champagne poured approximately at the same pace as the music (160-190 BPM), resulting in a highly intoxicated yours truly, whose brain never quite made the difference between Moet and Stella; self-consciously sipping at first, but as soon as focus shifted back to the music, gulping the fizzy booze like a bastard.
Apparently it's impossible to block hillbilly wisdom once it comfortably settles in, which is probably the reason why a hopelessly disoriented, bearded Romanian man was roaming Mitcham Common aimelssly this morning at 47 minutes past 7 o'clock. Witness statements describe him as babbling a strange, fast rhythm while nodding his head back and forth and at times screaming nonsense about the head of some cat.
