It’s a London Thing (Tuesday, June 28, 2011) No stamp: The Boiler Room #58: Hotflush Recordings @ Corsica Studios Hotflush. Boiler Room. Need I say more?When we arrived, George Fitzgerald was on the decks. I was excited to see him live mainly because of this incredible remix of Groove Theory’s “Tell Me.” However, he was playing an unexpectedly banging techno set. The kind of techno that only really works at Berghain. This isn’t too typical at Boiler Room, and I was very happy to see a lil’ change of pace (though the bass was super intense on the ears!).Up next was Roska (Roska Roska), who played a massively fun set that included my favorite, “Squark”. We spotted the Mount Kimbie dudes in the crowd, and tried not to get knocked over by two girls dancing like it was Saturday night. At least it was clear they love them some Roska.The man himself, Scuba, came on next, which was really exciting because I’ve never seen him live before. He looked a lot younger than I thought he was, and then it dawned on us: Scuba is freakin’ fit! Who knew? He played a truly amazing, highly danceable set of amped-up house and techno, and it was clear that he has been so successful because he’s just not screwing around. This included Scott Garcia’s “It’s a London Thing” and “Walk 4 Me” by Tronco Traxx (!). I like living in a world where big name label heads play vogue ball jams smack in the middle of their sets.
