Sneaky Sundays Turns 10

These boys are looking rather good for 10. In fact, they don't look a day over nine. But yup, last weekend marked the 520th of everybody's favourite Sunday night... and this one was certainly the best of all them.

Sneaky Sundays has entered it's second decade with a brand new layout: the Discoteque AND the Terrace, the latter being the new space that has gotten all the DJ's as excited as... well, ten year olds. So it seemed fitting to start the celebrations outside, where U-GO-B, Dolso, and Miss Annie warmed things up while pizzas and waters were thrown down by the good little soldiers who were preparing to fight hard in the ten hour battle ahead.

And fight those little soldiers did. Except swap the violence for dancing, tears for laughter, and guns for glow sticks and party poppers. At 9pm, everyone thought it time to run from space number 1 to space number 2, where Black Angus spent two hours dropping classic after classic from the past ten years to an especially enthusiastic audience. This was mixed with a bit of old school Sneaky Sound System too, accompanied by Tricky Nick on the saxophone and MC Double D on the mic. Meanwhile, Doom kept the cigarette suckers on the Terrace alive.

Darshan, wonder boy, from Metro Area was the next one to step up. We loved him, and he loved us back. There was a lot of love in the room that night.

Then came some banging techno (and a lot of smoke, from our smoke machine who isn't ten years old, but whom we love anyway) from Black, Dangerous, Jonny Pow, Jimmy 2 Sox, Ajax, and Hoodrat, whilst the troops marched on and on.

And then it was the end of the night, and everyone thought, "Wow, ten years... (reflective moment)... this night is still fucking awesome."

Smokey Robinson once said, "Time flies when you're having fun", and boy did that soul dude know what he was on about. That was the quickest ten hours... I mean ten years, of our lives.
