International of 2001

Pretty self explanatory really

Who, outta the smorgasboard of talent we've seen this year, played the most memorable set?

For me, i'll go with Storm over some ABSOLUTELY STONKIN' competition, ecspecially Ed Rush and Optical. But then again you've all probably got your own faves... so lets 'ave em then.

Ed Rush, Optical and Ryme Tyme.
Bailey.
Matrix..'cos Pots was a fuckin' bad, bad man that night.

DJ Bayley at Sub in Wellie! But only just over Ed and Optical- Ryme Tyme is THE MAN! Didn't get to see Storm so can't comment.

Ahh so many nights to choose from!
Ed Rush & Optical really stands out in my mind as an absolutely mad night. The 'rider was wikked too, along with J Majik, TS, Zinc and Klute who all tore it down too!

Doc Scott & MC Justiyc

my order thus far

3. Klute
2. Total Science
1. DJ Bailey

as far as dj skills, dubplate action and crowd turnout/enthusiasm goes.

DJ Die + Dynamite.


and a close second - Total Science

Klute, but I didn't make it to enough internationals to be a good judge. Next year I'll try harder, promise.

krust + die
ed rush + optical
matrix
fierce

Dj Bailey for sure even came down and mixed with the crowd at what ever hour you called it!!
Pity missed out on Klute
Zinc was good too
But Nz D&B scene pretty good too.

fo me John B was it.... then in a close second was zinc.

Zinc

It was Ed Rush & Optical until... Dj Die and Krust the other week :o)

Zinc was the shit...

J Majik
zinc
Grooverider

these be my top 3!

Merry christmas yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

too many to choose from really, but ...

5. J Majik
4. Ed Rush + Optical
3. Fierce (dunedin)
2. Goldie
1. John B + Moving Fusion

ahhh , the memories

Zinc for his short, but memorable 3 turntable style set.

Total Science, for producing some of the best tunes of 2001 and unleashing them on an unsuspecting AK crowd in a mad set.

Grooverider for his absolutely Epic Set, & MC Moose for keeping us brockin' out 'till dawn.

Klute for tearin' it up.

and finally Krust & Die for the maddest opening 20 minutes of Drum & Bass and Hip Hop madness I have ever experienced.


Lastly, big up going out to all the local promoters out there who made this all possible - you know who you are. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Ok, respect to Moose, but really, he wasn't even close to Justiyc when he came wif Doc Scott

dj zinc played the freshest set this year. Followed by john b for me.

nz: klute, total science, bailey .. in no order....
uk: andy c @ renegade hardware, BC @ Slammin Vinyl, Hype @ Slammin Vinyl .. in no order....

International of 2001
MALDINI & D-BRIDGE!!!!!!!!!
(Yea, ok, so technically they played in the first hours of 2002, but lets not split hairs)

i could have bet my firstborn child that you would write something about NYFU in here ...
