| Clubbers describe their favourite Phil Reynolds set - 29/08/02 |
| My favourite Phil Reynolds set has to be at the hard house
academy on 10th august 2002. My friends and I had the hard house academy booked in our diaries for months as the finale to the phatest summer of clubbin and festivals. Frantic’s 5th birthday was perfect timing for my farewell bash before i left the country to study in America for a year. And i wanted to make sure i introduced my friends to brixton academy (the place where it all started for me back in march) before i left, as i knew they'd love it-who wouldnt?! the academy was stompin and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. we had spent most of the night kickin it out on the balcony, until phil came on and i took my friend (a virgin to the land of hardhouse!) right down to the very front to see one of my favourite djs properly. phil was bringin the night to its peak and the clubbers were going absolutely balistic, including us, as we watched the rest of our friends going mental high above us on the balcony! my mate was absolutely lovin it and she had never danced that hard before in her life! phil had spotted us in the crowd and was entertained by me, while i danced for him and his filthy tunes! i will never forget those moments on my last nite out, dancing amongst the other 4,500 fellow nutters to phil's wicked set while he warmed us up for some seriously hardcore farelytime! after his set, i went to shake his hand and to my surprise, he made a point of giving me a kiss on the cheek! so i had an even bigger grin on my face for the rest of the mornin! those memories of phil's bangin set will stay with me forever. Basically this is a hard one...i could say Euphoria at Shepherds Bush two years ago when he played "Come Dance With Me" as the final track or even this year when we saw him play at Harder Faster........ but for me the ultimate set would have to be at the Cook in Shepherds Bush nearly three years ago, only my second clubbing night and it was absolutely amazing. The final song that night was "Generator!!"... Needless to say I am still clubbing now..thanks to that inspiring, thumping set!! There are only a few of us left in London now of the group that used to stalk Phill around London to the venues he played so I would love to win these tickets! My fave set by the lush man himself was at Hard House Academy. Not only did he treat my eyes to a lil bit of wiggling, but he didn't turn my marriage proposal down flat. The man is gorgeous!! TIMELESS II CAMDEN PALACE 6 OCTOBER 2001 It was Saturday night 11 months ago and I had only been in London a few months and had not yet been out clubbing before. Some friends I met on a Middle East trip had made it their Mission to get me out on it that weekend and Timeless was the occasion. We arrived, and after freaking out being searched for the first time we entered Camden Palace. After being talked into sampling the clubbers diet about 1/2 way through the night I started to really have some fun.... Phil Reynolds (who I had never even heard of then) played a massive 3 hour set to end the night which happened to start just as I was peaking. I was up on the stage giving it all that for the full 3 hours..... Needless to say Phil has become one of my Favourite DJ's along with Tara Reynolds too.... Clubbing most weekends I wonder why I waited so long to go clubbing over here. I THINK THE STAND OUT PERFOMANCE FOR PHIL REYNOLDS MUST BE AT FRANTICS FIFTH BIRTHDAY AT BRIXTON ACADEMY, THE ATMOSPHERE WAS AMAZING AND HE HAD THE CROWD EATING OUT OF HIS HAND WITH SOME KILLER TRACKS AND SOME PHAT BEATS. THE BRIXTON ACADEMY SET THE PERFECT SCENE FOR A FANTASTIC NIGHT, WITH PHIL AND THE FRANTIC CREW TAKING TOP HONOURS. WITH PLENTY OF HIGH QUALITY COMPETITION TO TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT OFF PHIL, HE MANAGED TO GAIN EVERYONES ATTENTION AND RESPECT WITH HIS PERFECT SET AND GREAT CONTROL OVER THE CROWD. THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF PHIL REYNOLDS BRILLANCE. EVERY TIME HE PLAYS A SET, IT IS AN EXPERIENCE. EACH ONE BETTER THAN THE NEXT ONE. HE CERTAINLY KNOWS HOW TO EVOLVE WITH THE TIMES. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE!! My most memorable Phil favourite is going to happen this Saturday at Camden (the home of good times) as I dance like a man possessed to the last and greatest 3 hour set this legend will magically produce. We all know why, the man is simply a DJing genius and when he's in the zone the boy creates new types of fire. The sounds this kid puts out makes more energy in the house than that produced by Homer and colleges at the Springfield nuclear power plant, and he knows it and shows it which just adds to it. A genuine crowd pleaser, just add water! There's been a few! I thought his set at Hard House Academy when Frantic was 5 rocked big time. There's nothing quite like driving beats and uplifting melodys spun through a killer sound system. I did enjoy that I must say. However the best set that I thought he's played was at the beloved palace@Unity. The night started fantastic for me and I was buzzing right from the start. Ian M and Karim killed it with their Hard beat antics and it was zebadee all the way. Then it was Reynolds. A few tunes into his set and you could tell straight away that this is was gonna be something special. A pure atmospheric-lifting, arms in the air, smiley face moment. It really was the nuts. Then I was off my tree proper and pounding away like a goodn' all over the Palace making my way up to one of the balcony's to take it all in. I met this guy from up North while standing looking at the stomping see of colour he goes 'He's not bad his he that Phil Reynolds' I laughed to myself as it sounded like the biggest understatement of the decade! 'To right mate, to right' Best set - earlier this year - wandered down to the Bondi Bar in Acton in a post club daze one Saturday to watch the rugby only to find it was someones b'day and the whole place was going off already, then Phil turned up to play and the place went nuts.......my quiet afternoon nursing a beer watching rugby went right out the window. It was the 82 Wimbledon final: Reynolds v Bjorg. Bjorg had just uncharacteristically lost his cool on a dodgy line call and was complaining to the ump about Reynolds' insistence on humming "Touch me, I get a rush" before crucial points. Reynolds went on to play a blinder, winning the set 6-zip, leaving the Reynolds faithful at SW19 to stand up and wave their arms around with curiously wide smiles on their faces (in the traditional manner). |

| 18/05/02 - Frantic Guide to Londn |
| Frantic would like to welcome in the Summer with a limited
edition guide to how to have the most fun at London's favourite club: 1)Arrival Frantic is always busy. This doesn't mean that you should have to wait long to get into the club. You should try and get there as early as you can. Its best to try and avoid the "rush hour" of 2230-0030 as this is when most people turn up and you will experience some congestion just as you would on the tube or with any other service. However unlike many clubs in London we open at 9pm rather than 10pm, because it means that customers have an extra hour to get into the club. This keeps the Queue to a minimum. The Queues are clearly labelled using posters on the front of Camden Palace. Those on the free and paying Guestlist and those collecting tickets purchased by credit card should Q on the left handside of the building. Two people run the credit card list and Two people the free list. Two people run the paying Guestlist. If you are on the list your name will be crossed off and you will be given a raffle ticket, which you then present to the cashier. The right hand Queue is for people with tickets. It is also for those who want to pay on the door. Frantic always give ticketholders priority. We aim to sell out by the day before the event, so that anyone who is considering paying on the door will turn up early before the majority of ticketholders turn up. If ticketholders turn up while we are still allowing people to pay on the door then the Security will regularly call them up to the front of the Q. The payers on the door will be held back while ticketholders are allowed in. 2) The Search Camden Palace has to obtain a special license called a Music and Dance license to put on club events. As part of the regulations all customers must be subject to a search. Its worthwhile bearing in mind that the more bags you bring the longer this search will take, so regular clubbers tend to avoid bringing large bags. 3)The Cloakroom Put the text I wrote on Wed. 4)Air conditioning As part of the regulations of the Dance license Camden must have air conditioning. In the Summer they put this on before we open and this ensures that there are the required amount of changes of air every hour as required by law. 4) Water There is always free drinking water in the toilets. There are 5 bars at the Palace that also have bottled water. 5)Toilets The toilets have recently been refurbished. However if for any reason you are concerned about the state of the toilets, eg they have run out of toilet paper, please dont hesitate to contact the promoters who are in the box office between 9pm and 4am. In the last 2 hours you can mention it to the security at the front of the venue. Conclusion Frantic have run 28 events at Camden Palace over the last 3 years. We work hard to make the entry and departure from the venue as quick and easy as possible. We work closely with the Venue managment team that have run hundreds of sell out events at the Palace over the last 10 years. This means that we are always doing our best to get you onto the dancefloor in the shortest time possible! |
