The second hour proved much better, as UFO settled into his signature brand of hybridised UK techno, Tracks like Bruce’s monstrous “What”, and the now distinctive bleep bloop riff of Airhead’s “Droplit” were deployed to devastating effect, but the highlight of the set was undoubtedly an incredible blend that saw UFO layering the “Found Mix” of Objekt’s “Lost and Found” atop his 2012 Hessle Audio effort, “Porcupine”. Skippy house tracks like Lipelis’s “Children Song” and DJ Steaw’s “Heaven” established an easy-going groove, but they somehow felt a little stale in the context of Sumo’s deeper fare. As the night drew on, people began trickling out to the main room, leaving a core group of revellers to fan out across the smoky floor, and sway uninhibited to the irrepressible Salon Des Amateurs chug.īen UFO following on from Sumo’s broiling house sounds in the main room. Favouring tracks with menacing basslines and bouncy tribal percussion, their selections provided the softly lit Tunnel with a sense of understated intimacy that is rarely found in a club as busy as Motion.

In the hands of someone less capable, the selections could easily have fallen flat, but Sumo’s perfectly paced mixing imbued the tracks with a real sense of hypnotism, at times able to keep people moving with little more than a kick drum and garbled vocals. Opening up the main room, Tama Sumo played with the restraint of a true veteran, coaxing the main room to near full capacity with moody, minimal house. Panorama Bar resident Tama Sumo, Hessle Audio founder Ben UFO, and Detroit legend DJ Bone took control of the gargantuan main room, whilst Dekmantel favourite Nosedrip, and Salon des Amateurs residents Bufiman and Vladimir Ivkovic soundtracked the Tunnel. ![]() ![]() On 2nd November, Just Jack brought a selection of the world’s most revered house and techno DJs Motion, alongside a custom laser installation.
