Sunday, as with almost every Sunday since I moved to the city I headed to Rebar for Flammable. Despite coming almost directly from the airport, I made it down in time to hear the last minutes of an opening set from DJ Garth, a Flammable favorite. His spot on the stage was taken over by fellow LineOutter Matt Corwine (aka Mister Leisure), who was celebrating his birthday by providing a musical gift for all in attendance. Playing the first live PA in over five years, Corwine’s booking marked a slight departure for Flammable, which will hopefully see the evening’s success as a reason to reach out a bit more (Seriously, between Corwine’s set and the ri-goddamn-diculously hyped response to Derrick May’s blistering set last year, it’s not as if the crowd can’t handle it). He managed to live up to all the praise that Dave offered a few months ago, playing house obvious enough to not alienate the Rebar crowd, which is used to a certain formula, and yet interesting enough to entertain a more techno-oriented listener. Even Garth, surely tired after a full weekend in town, managed to find his way to the dancefloor. The night closed with a still busy club calling out for more, myself included. You would do well to keep an eye on the comings and goings of Mister Corwine. I predict Big Things.

Want to hear what all the fuss is about? Here’s the recording from the evening.
