hold up .. i agree 200% with that - it's just that sometimes, if there's a small problem, like a wire gets pulled out by accident, then the DJ should be able to trouble-shoot real quick, find the problem, and fix it, instead of standing around, like a child lost in a mall, waiting for some sort of Emergency Response Unit ..

I've had to deal with minor problems so many times, while looking at the DJ, thinking "he couldn't've just figured it out and done that himself? it wasn't hard!"

And with all these laptop DJs who need to plug all sorts of shit in, they need to able to plug shit back in the way it was originally, when their set is over.

And I'm also including sound stuff, like knowing that peaking into the red when the system is all good and proper, is BAD. Talking about DJs who, instead of turning up the master or the gain, turn up all the EQ knobs to max, thinking that makes their tune louder. DJs who turn the Highs up all the way, also thinking it makes the music louder ...

I'm talking about all the technical stuff that is necessary, and yet beyond owning some tracks and being able to mix 'em together ... .. .

Ever see a Pro Hockey player who doesn't know how to tape up his stick? or lace-up his own skates?

what we need more of, isn't DJs who can produce, it's DJs who can plug fucking gear into a mixer! XD

we need more DJs who are technical, not just skill-wise, but equipment-wise.

lol!

alright, revised line-up: Sarkastique, Aquxel Helios, Bioteque, and Erratik ... XD

ah, letters .. haven't been this much fun since Sesame Street .. :p

when did the Q come into play? is there now a style called hardteque !? :P

they feed the metal detector drugs, then deprive it every morning, so that it goes off when it senses drugs around .. needs its fix, y'know.

personally, i think that's wrong. machines are people too.

haha! XD

hahahha XD

well, this is more about mutual respekt, and respecht ... :p

i'll be placing a friendly wager on both styles ... =)

and when i play some hardcore at the end of the night, all bets are off !!

euh, the cops cracking down on teh rave scene?? OMG!

The media trying to make us look bad!? Fuck!

oh man! we have to do something quick before we -- oh, right, this isn't news ... :p

i'm pretty sure the cops & the government & straight/normal people have been against the scene since day 1. Our parties are, after all, illegal. i don't think they should be, and i think that all those who oppose us are typical right-wing types who never want anyone to have fun - and they fear the unknown - but we've been fighting the good fight.

And i guess we can't blame them, given their positions/lifestyles, for not conceding and giving us free reign - though it would be nice, since alot of us are just in it for the music, and we put alot of time and effort into it, not for the drugs, but for the good times, and good friends.

So, of course the oppressors will use what they can to chip away at us. They know goddamn well that we're having fun, and that makes 'em mad!

For the record, an under-age person is safer in a Rave by Sunday morning, than at church .. :p

on vista, it installed, but i need to give WinD'oh's permission whenever i open it. :/

plus, it does some funny stuff sometimes ... like opening a SoundForge Help box every time i use an effect, and not recognizing the CD drive when i try the Burn Track option ... bizarre.

hmm.. Sony: multi-billion dollar company. Microsoft: multi-billion dollar company. Coincidence? Or did someone get paid to program a lil' something in Windows to make sure cracked versions of Sony products won't function... ???

all in all, i say : Partition --> 1. Win-whatever --> 2. Ubuntu (Linux).
Use one for music, the other for everything else.

i dunno, when i got my laptop, vista was already on it, and i was told at the store that i could get the Win7 CD for free, after some internet requestage - since i got the 'puter just after 7 came out - but i never bothered.

so, meh .. vista sucks, but it works just fine, so i didn't move on.

and well, XP <-- not just an OS, but also the face that xp makes when someone installs it instead of vista or 7 ...

Ha! My thoughts exactly ...

It's not like i crawl into their bug-cribs and hang-out, wipe my dirty feet on their carpet, steal their food, and nibble at their toes! XD

Style: makes you famous.
Skills: make you infamous.

On Tuesday, September 21st, OCDj will put an old debate to rest.

BONUS:: Biotek has been added to line-up .. he's coming down from Quebec City to open the night with some Industrial techno .. !!! =)

awww ... :(

well, it's sad and yet understandable. though it means one less wicked DJ in MTL ..

Golgo, you're one of the good people. Good luck with your future projects, and you better be stickin' around the music scene!! :D

I'll try to sneak out of work for a few minutes to come have a beer! =)

amen! ;)

... then we all die and find out that Satan was the good guy :p

oh man .. what a waste .. :/

^ hahaha XD



hehe .. that's 'cause we have the greatest, most educated, scientific and theological minds right here on this site! aren't we lucky! :p

nah, that was Mario Senior, Mario's pappa, who was found dead in a barrel in 1984. The investigation is still ongoing, though they've recently found gorilla DNA at the crime scene, which finally clears Bowser of any wrong-doing, therefore making Mario's plight to avenge his father over the past 25 years, a complete waste of time.

XD

geez! we aren't born atheist, we are born 'not giving two shits about the subject' ...

--- --- ---

atheism is a concept, not the lack of one. as soon as you label what you do or do not believe in, it becomes your philosophy, your principle, your belief.

y'know, some words have two meanings, and/or have various applications .. it's not because something is a non-belief in something else that it's automatically not a belief itself!

logic fail anecdote: if it takes 1 man 60 seconds to dig a post-hole, then it must take 60 men 1 second to dig a post-hole.

anyway, if i have to write the word 'belief' one more time, i'm gonna crawl through teh internetz tube system and come out 'n' kick someone in the nuts ... :p

PS. Ravers must be anti-science, 'cause they sit around every weekend burning brain cells in protest .. XD

hahaha! XD ... NO! :p

of course it is .. :p

tonight ppl !!

Deathmaker made to MTL safely, it's a nice day, LVX & TekTwelve are picking out their best tracks .. all is well! =)

brap!

so, atheists believe in rejecting things that have no evidence of existing?

so, they do believe in something, right?

so, that's why i'm not an atheist ...

lol .. i'd wear her as a suit, but then my outfit would be even uglier than hers :p

^^ hahahaha!!

"the dude abides ..."

you're atheist. you believe in atheism. so, it is a belief system. 'nuff said.

i'm not an atheist. i'm not a nihilist. i'm not christian. i'm not agnostic. i'm not anything.

therefore, i have no belief system.

"do you believe in god" - "no"
"so you're an atheist?" - "no"
"so ... " - "no".

yeah! tomorrow night!! hardcore!!! XD


The Deathmaker

^ indeed! i never thought that i would have the chance to see Download, let alone Plateau, and well, i was wrong! and that makes me happy! XD

for those who don't already know these artists, this is a night for all fans of IDM and/or Industrial, and/or harsh EDM - or even just Skinny Puppy fans ... =)

This is probably also the first and last opportunity many of us will have to see most of these acts ..

Baptists - lol. still burning books 'n' stuff, eh?

if they like setting fires in the name of religion so much, someone should teach 'em about Self-immolation ... XD

alright, new concept: UFDj -- Ultimate Fighting Disc Jockeys.

Watch DJs beat the fuck out of eachother! no rules!

Next week: milton clark vs. bliss

week 2: na vs. tiesto

week 3: screwhead vs. all the dubstep djs

week 4: host one vs. yo' momma (bonus match: teen vs. rabid puppies)

:p :p :p

love you guys .. XD

i don't think zombies can come ... o_O

please stop throwing my night in the river ... it's only 5 months old!

kthnxbye
