It was crazy last night, *crazy* I tells ya! I've never seen so many drunk people be turned away from the bar. One woman ordered *20* double jack daniels and coke. And then she fell over

Good night though

I thought so

But both quite different

Kano kinda was more full on London style electro hip hop....really fucking edgy/hyper apart from the next single which seemed a bit shit (last single wasnt that amazing either but in the live situation it was much better).....some brilliant beats and electronix (seemingly completely randomised and mixed on the fly by a turntable genius) with three incredible front men ...really got the crowd wound up and moving > kinda sense Kano will eclipse Roots like

which to me seemed a bit tough on Roots Manuva, who was way more mellow obviously, and kinda the energy generated by Kano tailed off, still feckin brilliant like, played with a full band, and again way more mental than his studio stuff
