Doing our bit for global warming, the Coldcut crew have been jumping internationally at various fun happenings. (check coolearth.org for a good way to pay back for flights , better than just carbon indulgence style offsets imho)
Last week was the lush venue of the Palace Badi in Marrakech, a ruined palace right in the heart of the city. 4000 lanterns made it glow, with loads of tents cushions rugs layed on for the mainly rich looking crowd.
At £500 for a VIP ticket it wasnt that fully attended, but Juice roused everyone inc. harrassing the VIPs to join in there to party with CC and it worked. One of the most beautiful places we have played in.
Hung out with Dimitri from Paris and Patrick from Gotan Project who both played some nice music.
Marrakech is pretty exciting (esp. after dark) and photogenic. Ian Brown had been there recently and enthused about his 4 day camel ride trip but we didnt make that. But, heres a pic of a camel, if thats any use?
Then on to Lisbon...
