[Ngong, Kenya]
I VIVIDLY REMEMBER the amazing Swirl 2005 party at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal . It was an EDM (Electronic Dance Music) event filled with many pleasant surprises. First off, I accidentally discovered the slamming House beats of Montreal’s Martin St. Louis. He’s definitely going to go places…and I wish him all the best. I hung out with him for a bit at his DJ booth, which was on the way to the washrooms at Swirl. He wasn’t one of the main acts…just a side show, and a way to promote upcoming local talent.
The best moment for me, though, was hearing the UNBELIEVABLE, pulsating Techno beats of Germany’s Chris Liebing. Up to that point in my EDM life, I’ve never heard such a unique “sound” as I did that night. Hmmnn…how can I describe it? Well, it was upbeat, off the charts, banging, lively…DELICIOUS. He definitely has his own sound. Oh, can someone PLEASE get me a Chris Liebing mix? Better yet, did anyone record his Swirl 2005 set? I NEED it BADLY!! Because of CMr. Liebing, I must visit Germany to hear him spin — some day.
