Put your hands up for Zane - We love this DJ: LCR, UEA Norwich November 2006

NB: THIS REVIEW WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED IN December 2006 ON MY PREVIOUS BLOG. I have decided to pull all my music reviews/comments etc into one dedicated music blog. A select few old articles will be posted here alongside new posts. Enjoy!


The Master of new music returned to UEA last night (November 30, 2006) and delivered a musical lecture not to be forgotten. From the Beastie Boys to Justice vs Simian to the running man to Pendulum via The Killers, House of Pain and Faithless, Zane Lowe held his apprentices captive from the first beat.

Hot from his Radio 1 show, Zane took command the second he stepped up to the decks. And the crowd dutifully responded to his orders to get themselves on the dancefloor. Packed tighter than ten elephants in a mini, the LCR marinated in a delicate combination of sweat and fat juicy tracks. Littered with truly bizarre moments; a butt naked man getting on stage to do the running man and the sheer madness of everyone moshing to Last Night fighting for the last square inch, the LCR was at the beck and call of Mr Zane Lowe, DJ extrordinaire.

Unbelievably Zane Lowe’s performances at UEA are yet to be a sell out night. His eclectic mix and sheer skill as a DJ make this one of the best nights the student union holds and well worth the fiver for the ticket. Refreshingly, Zane seems to LOVE UEA unconditionally. Like a loving father, he comes back to his illegitimate children and teaches them how to dance their socks off to the most gorgeous, thumping musical concoctions. If you haven’t yet witnessed Zane’s mastery in the LCR make it your new years resolution to go before the end of 2007.
