The room looks like the basement of a school or something, thats been temporarily converted to a disco; an open space with low ceiling, bare white walls and a couple of support pillars. Against the back wall is a DJ booth on a raised platform and behind it, the letters “XXX” painted in white on a black background. On the left wall is an LED matrix display showing the words “Absurd TRAX – dj sniff”, and on the right wall is powerful light. The entire place is awash in red and blue light and the air is imbued with the smell of smoke. In the middle of the room is a small crowd, perhaps twenty or thirty people, all facing the DJ booth, in front of which a temporary DJ booth has been set up and DJ Sniff, in white t-shirt, baseball cap and surgical mask, is there playing his tracks. The music is, as announced, quite absurd, just a collection of random sounds without any clear beat or rhythm. Most of the people just stand there watching but two people near the front are trying enthusiastically to dance to the tunes. Behind the crowd, in a sort of alcove, are a bunch of sofas lining the walls, and an old, low quality Chinese film is projected on the wall. Not that that fits into the club scene in any way, it’s just there for whatever reason. The place feels bizarre, from the makeshift nature of the venue, to the absurd music, to the bad movie in the background, it’s all just weird, but I’m really glad I could be here to see it.
