Lured down to Shoreditch by promise of free entry and a pretty stellar lineup, we didn't really know what to expect from The Queen of Hoxton, other than a lot of fancy trainers and stupid hats.
Unfortunately we arrived late because of work, but managed to get in after the post-Caribou exodus, meaning we missed Technicolour and Komatic. Word is they ran a good set and I've been keen to check these guys live for a while, with tracks like Daydreamer really nailing that soulful liquid vibe.
We did arrive just in time to get stuck in for some heavy business with Rockwell and Icicle, two producers who have both had an incredible year in 2010 and can only get bigger in 2011. Dreadnaught is really killing it right now, and Icicle's album is gonna do some serious damage when it drops in April.
Fabio and Grooverider played drum and bass music effectively and without incident. They dropped a few big tunes, but largely filled time before the Brookes Brothers, who absolutely levelled the place. It's always nice to hear Tear You Down, but the rest of the set was also fantastic. The album is about to drop and promises to be another must have for 2011.
All in all, a great night. Can't really argue with free entry either!
