Bomphcast 086: Adrian Bell, ADMINISTRATOR & Fergus Sweetland (7 hour b2b)

Bomphcast

First of all, I hope you're all doing well out there in the world. This is the first episode we've released since the world descended into chaos. I hope that everyone is staying safe and keeping their minds occupied. We're going through one of the wildest times in history. This will be an event we talk about for years to come. The thought that all the world's producers are locked down at home is a notion that excites me. We will witness an explosion of music made during this period. But, I digress. Onto the podcast. For episode 086, we have a 7-hour recording from Bomphcast's Late Night Situation club night which took place back in early February. The night saw Adrian Bell, ADMINISTRATOR and I (Fergus Sweetland) take part in an extended back-to-back set. The night itself was a huge success. We had a line spilling out from the Sub Club, into the alleyway and onto Flinders Lane. Needless to say, the club was at capacity for most of the night. Our concept was to conceal the three DJs from the crowd. We did this by setting up a floor to ceiling cloth in the middle of the dance floor. This completely covered the DJ booth. Projections were put onto the cloth which created such a great spectacle inside Sub Club. It was refreshing to play to the crowd and to only hear their reactions rather than see it. To be concealed took the focus away from the DJs, putting the emphasis back onto the music and visuals. We could feel the vibe from the crowd inside the booth. No sight was required to tell that the vibe was electric. Needless to say, we look forward to doing some more concept gigs once the world gets back to normal. Artwork by Liam White. www.bomphcast.com
