The youthful, wide-eyed men of indie-pop playing to the youthful, wide-eyed crowd of Fitz and its hill college buddies: a match made in vodka n’ coke-soaked and faintly fluorescent heaven, right? Not quite.

Bombay Bicycle Club’s headline DJ set at the annual freshers’ fest suffered from a little too much well-worn overfamiliarity and too little individuality. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs clashed horns with The Drums, while Supergrass (‘We are young, we are free’ - apt choice, it must be said, sirs) closed the show. Underworld’s ‘Born Slippy’, perennial set-closer and erstwhile favourite of the raver/VK-addled, was inexplicably dropped bang in the middle of the 2-hour stint, though Wait What’s Biggy and The xx mash-up, sparkling yet criminally underplayed, hoisted the set out of a latter-half lull. Nothing wrong, though nothing exceptional. The lack of a famous face may have caused a few problems too - only some sheepish grinning when they dropped a remix of their own song gave BBC’s game away.

The finer points of Soundcheck were to be found elsewhere: opener Nathanael Arnott-Davies’s slow-burning set was a highlight, and acoustic room headliners The Yapps’ Janelle Monae cover deserves some cap-doffage. Resident Fez DJ Jono Carey was on hand to provide a reliably strong mix, which could have doubled equally well as the headline set. Despite rumours of a vodka shortage owing to some sneak-thievery, the bars’ trading remained apparently unaffected. In fact, the swift-selling booze may have fuelled the less-than-desirable shirtless epidemic that swept the main room, adding a few unwanted extra degrees of perspiration to an already sweaty, by-then UV-tinged, Buttery hall-cum-dancefloor.

While BBC’s DJing prowess may not live up to their own brand of acoustic loveliness, there was nary an undanced-out limb in the house by the time the house lights came up. Even if the party was a couple of vodka bottles down, it’d be hard to level a criticism at the night itself. Consider the sound checked.
