Find Me In The Dark at Corsica Studios

  • Over the past year, Find Me In The Dark has rightly earned its place among London's top promoters, hosting the likes of Omar-S, Jovonn, Terreke and Voices From The Lake at Corsica Studios. The busyness of their first birthday celebration was a testament to this success, yet it also made it hard to enjoy the first half of the night. With all the elbows, bodies and feet encroaching on me from all angles, I couldn't get into Genius Of Time's live set. The party felt a little over-subscribed, and perhaps opening the second room a bit earlier would have helped. Parties always get better when the fair-weather revellers go home and this was no exception. Just as I was settling into a spacious spot on the dance floor, Christopher Rau took to the decks. He exceeded all my expectations, delivering a set of mind-bending bangers amidst plenty of ethereal house cuts. One memorable transition paired Stephen Lopkin's "Lets All Talk About Me" with the deranged stomp of Marcus Mixx's "Psychousic." Jean Nipon's new track "Daydream Nation" sounded incredible on the booming sound system. The quality of the selections and mixing had me glued to the floor. Huerco S finished off the night in the smaller (and louder) second room, playing swinging disco, jacking house, and reverie-inducing techno, though the strength of these selections was marred by his erratic mixing. I closed the night relaxing to founder Asquith's set in the main room. Considering the party didn't exist 12 months ago, it must be rewarding for them to see so many people raving so enthusiastically into the early hours.
