Braving the snow and the travel disruptions, we headed back to Area for our first Hardware night since June, and it was certainly worthwhile. Last time was a total blast, mainly due to the awesome presence of Black Sun Empire, but the 19th had an equally strong lineup, with Spor B2B Chris Renegade and the ever delightful pairing of Calyx and Teebee. I have so much love for these two that it's slightly terrifying, and as per usual they managed to fire off an awesome, furious, uplifting neurofunk set. Wonderful.
You know it's been a good night when even Friction does a good set, but this time round the time seemed to fly by, and the uglylights seemed to come on incredibly early. After all my whinging about how Hospital nights just ain't what they used to be, it was nice to be down with a more serious crowd of dnb nerds/chavs/thugs, and Area is certainly a strong venue with plenty of space to crowd round the dj booth and dance. I think we missed Prolix, which was a bit of a shame, and it'd have been nice to check out Room 2 a bit more, but overall, fifteen thumbs up, will have to reach it again in February!
