Temposphere

If they say that you ain’t you-know-what in baby-who-knows-how-long, it is high time for another Temposphere season.  Last Tuesday, the game was on again in Rumba.

Okey, I may be a just a littlybittly tendentious but let’s not be corny about it, cats. Leuven generally isn’t really known as the umbilicus mundi of party. Hell yeah, if you don’t ask more than litres of beer and peroxide blondes going all omg-omg-like totally-hihihihi on plain tunes, our lil’ ole town really is the place to Hassel your Hoff. But if you, on the other hand, prefer the purple-coloured combination of dance- music -sex- romance, the city often seems a barren wasteland.  Temposphere strives to quench these party needs by presenting something quite different: something funky, something fresh, something to blow your mind.

Last week Spacid, Cait Sith, Ed& Kim and Commonphase were on duty to get kids dancey.  And you believe me cats, they did a hell of a good job.
Rumba was crowded, but not too, leaving Leuven’s hardest party harders ample space to do what they do best: show off their tightest moves and spill beer on my shoes.  The warmth was effin killing, the music hotter than chili sauce and the pretty party people got lo-lo on the ground: time to chase the glowing hours with flying feet!

Cait Sith teamed up with Ed& Kim’s Kim to set the place on fire. The combination of a turntable veteran (that, according to sources of most questionable reliability, also likes to play topless sets in the quality of Edwina&Kimberly) and rising star Cait Sith (that man who likes to compare spinning to sex on, yes sir, our national radio) resulted in a dynamic mix that kept girls dancing and guys buying them beer.

Spacid made himself the subject of Yves’ latest wet dreams, but frankly, Yves wasn’t the only one going bezoomny on the fierce set Kozzmozz-man Spacid let loose on the dancing crowd. Surprisingly, he interweaved his usual and distinguished choice of records with some more popular, and perhaps more Leuven-suited sounds, like our beloved Crookers and kindred spirits. He’s a master who knows just how to play his puppets.

Commonphase were the ones to burn this Troy and they sure did it in style. Their funky stirring beats made us easily set aside the aching feet, swirling heads and plastered douches getting un petit peu too familiar. Till the early hours, they kept us shaking it like a Polaroid picture. (By the way, sweethearts, you don’t shake polaroids. Okey? Just don’t.)

Humphrey Bogart said it just right when he mumbled: ‘Play it again, Sam.’ And our personal Sammies, Matthias& Yves, will be playing it again next month. And you better be there, ‘cause..
I was dreaming when I wrote this, so forgive me if this goes astray, but Temposhere sure means party like it’s 1999!
