Andy Whitby has been extremely impressive on every occasion I've seen him on, and this was no exception. Technically, he was the best DJ in the main room by a very long way, utilising the DJM-600 mixer to maximum effect to chop and stutter his way through his set. As he came on to the sounds of Breather's "Come On", Andy then caused the biggest reaction of the night by playing two huge anthems back to back, namely Jon Langford's remix of Rank 1's "Airwave" and Nick Sentience's anthemic remix of Ben Johnson's "We Come 1". The reaction from the main room was absolutely deafening, with 6,000 hands in the air and cheering aplenty. Andy also interracted well with the crowd throughout his set, frequently coming to the front of the stage to egg the crowd on! The only gripe I had with Andy's set was that he played a little bit too hard, as by the end of his set the BPM counter was edging above the 160 mark. Normally this would be fine, but with several DJ's still to follow, you did get the sense that it did go a little bit too hard too early. That said though, the technical skill of Andy Whitby easily outshone any other set in the main room, and the crowd reaction to his set was definately positive.
