Vitalic v.s. L'amour La Morgue

Gig Review
28.11.09 at Matter London

When the clock struck 1, Frence's stellarest DJ Vitalic turned up to a glowing crown to play live show. Matter is a trendy, 2600 capacity venue at The O2, but the Room 1, Flashmob to be specific, was immediately filled up with energetic young clubbers before he came on to his turn table. On the massive stage, he turned a bunch of up beat tunes that were sophisticatedly arranged by himself that turn his audience on. It was something that not too many people have experienced before. Vitalic was insanely good!! Although I'm one of those clubbers, I'm not particularly an expert on London's current night club scene. But I'm pretty sure that electric-pop or techno-pop never fails to provoke party girls' interest, and London based DJs appear to be desperate to dig some new music to make their very own sets even better. To them, he could be a tremendous competitor.

Large scale stage with sweaty crowd - one of the biggest ever DJ events!!


Soon after he disappeared backstage and half the crown in the room passed from sight, L'amour La Morgue came on the scean. It's a Welsh two-piece with unique French name that was formed in 2008, founded by the two rockers, Ian Watkins of Lostprophets and Colin Francies from The New 1920s, and they have played many enormous DJ gigs in the UK, especially in England. The boys are starting to take wings and getting a lot of more offers from immense events like this. There can't be too many teens who have never heard of the big name, Ian Watkins. He is technically the lead singer from Lostprophets, however, once he gets on stage at a club, he starts proundly playing the role, DJ Watkins. Which is why I believe he wins the hearts of both his band's under-aged fans and young dance devotees. He is definitely not the type of celebrity that comes across as haughty, but a real joe-darter. They spun slightly different tunes than what they usually do, but those were genuinely suitable for the event. Interestingly enough, their play might have made an audience think that Colin was a greater DJ than Ian that night. He looked like he was ready to jump into the crowd and his absorption added a zest to the gig. Well done, Colin. Hopefully, L'amour La Morgue will attract considerably more attentions from light-hearted clubbers who simply love to dance on the floor.

Are they wearing spooky, classy face masks that block the swine flu virus or to make a secret operation on the table? Very unique indeed!!
