OCDj -- Obsessive Compulsive Disc Jockeys

i record in SoundForge ..

it has a nice little meter, so i can test the levels before recording. i put everything fairly low, so that it doesn't peak, but still let it record at at least 3/4 of the volume meter, so i don't miss any frequs. i can change the volume after if necessary.

then, i can export it as a wav, or mp3 of most any quality, and the mix itself is also saved in the program.

easy ;)

the hard part is actually getting my sorry ass to record a set :p

YES! it's a fuckin' nice day out too .. the whole deal starts in 6 hours!!

there were only 3 real hardcore type sets at Kinetik this year (Ambassador 21, Edgey, Hypnoskull) so i can't wait to finish the whole thing off with some hard n' heavy beats n' bass!

i'll probably be throwing in some industrial and a touch of dubstep too to bring it all together...

see you later w/ a pint and a smile!

thnx to my DJs and thnx to the hardcore ppl who came out despite being dead from kinetik .. !

Next week: breakcore, skullstep, etc. .. stay tuned for details in the next thread!

holy fuck.. tomorrow night! which means i really have to rest up some more...

by the time i had gotten home this morning from working at Kinetik all week, i had slept about 16 of the previous 120 hours.. o_O (with only caffeine and willpower XD )

so... i guess we need to top it all off with some fucking hardcore!! ;)

Noune!

:p

Yes Yes! OCDj is back on Tuesday, May 18th (after taking a break this week for Kinetik-Fest) with a post-post-kinetik HARDCORE night! @ Bar Passeport, 2037 St. Denis (metro Berri-UQAM).

"Proud to be maladjusted" -M.L.K.

hahaha!

all i had to do was give her my credit card info, now i have a date with her tomorrow! can't wait! she says she's super hot...

:p

good job on your spammer button naoh ;) -- thnx for deleting that crap

gonna try real hard to come by after kinetik on friday night -- though i'll probably be very very dead, and will need to get back to the fest in the morning ...

if i don't make it, have shitloads of fun for me .. and good luck with this!

NTK FTW !!!

hahaha ...

beans + mdma = you better not be dancing next to me

XD

Tymon & Betty .. the best musical duo since Timon & Pumbaa :p

wish i could see the vid :/

but good job on the tune anyway!! rock on! :D

sweet, i'll be there ... working ;)

btw, i believe this is a FRIDAY (it says wednesday, but i guess that's a mistake)

only one way to find out... :p

*sets self on fire and yells out Eat Me*

c'mon now, she's right, we do taste better :p

... or so the girls tell me ;)

hahaha XD

2 girls from MTL? early 20s? beautiful? like to travel? yeah, i know 'em!

*facepalm*

(most times, if a girl isn't in her home country, and she doesn't leave you her full name or contact info, it means: "thnx for the semi-pleasant hour or two, now i'm going back to my real life, so let's hope i never see you again" :p )

my friend says that in Poland, you can buy a fridge and they give you free beer with it XD

so, did the montreal canounedians win their last game? i was nounewhere near a tv, so i couldnoune't watch it ...

i find the whole live electronic thing a little odd. almost all 'popular' acts that tour now, who are rooted in electronics, use a whole band to pull it off. 'cause, rock is live, but they have 4+ musicians playing the parts. with techno, there's only one dude, pretty much doing an orchestra's job.

it's not really fair to techno artists to expect them to play 100% live. but, what they need to do is hire musicians to play the different parts, like a drummer, a keyboardist, and the main producer to throw the rest in. that necessitates: alot of jamming, practising, and alot of cash to pay the musicians. so, unless you're Prodigy, this is a little difficult.

i saw Winterkalte last year at kinetik, and wow, the two dudes played it all completely live - like a metal band would - with an electronic drum, some gear, and 3 synths ... i was impressed.

but alone? really really LIVE? i've never even bothered considering it after a dozen years of making music. my only idea, is to load a shitload of samples/loops i made, into a program, and improvise. it'll probably be pretty bad though :p

PS. our buddies Risk, have the right idea: starting off as a band, with most of it electronic & the drums n' stuff organic, geared toward playing live. good job ;)

from bliss: "@ Na, you say you're not in the music business to make money...I'm assuming you never charge cover for events, give all your music away for free and never collect a dj ever? "

actually, i was/am in debt from a couple of the old parties i threw, 'cause i pay my DJs well. when i charge cover for my new weekly event, 99% of the cash goes back to the Djs, or re-invested into the event, or used to buy beer/shots for ppl.

in a decade of playing hard music in MTL, i've only made a few hundred bucks and a handful of weed. (and some beer XD ) -- it's ok, i'm used to doing volunteer work -- no worries.

and a bunch of my tracks are available for free here on [ rave.ca ] ... :)

--> sorry to talk about myself, but the comment ended with a question mark, so i felt obliged :p

PS. you what else makes a good DJ? knowing how to plug in your own gear - hehehe XD

hahaha...

well, i know, i'm not worried :)

y'all should stay out of this too though, wouldn't want mud to splash up onto my friends ;)

you know what else makes a good dj? owning good music! XD

amen!

the irony of this thread turning boring, is spectacular.

viruses .. meh, i run a linux live cd as my os. sorry, but no worries here XD

though, it does suck for everyone else. i guess, if a thread is drama packed bullshit, rated -6 flame-war, and certain ppl either started it or posted in it, don't read it. there's nothing interesting in there anyway ...

thnx for backing me up guys.. i'm trying to avoid communicating w/ said individual online since i've been trying to along with him on the rare occasion we cross paths in the real world ...

i am, however - despite knowing better - pretty fucking insulted right now. which was his goal, obviously. (i'll get over it as soon as the next paragraph is written) ...

i never book anyone depending on how 'generous' they've been to me. in fact, no one besides my family have ever been generous to me. i'm not interested in pity, i'm not interested in sociopathic exchanges of service between DJs/promoters. i'm interested in talented artists who are also capable of doing the right thing when the opportunity arises.

some ppl like making money from their music, i just like making music.

sorry, i have principles, and i stick to 'em, even in the face of hardship, or poverty, or success.

anyway, in reality, i don't give two shits about bliss' contradictory opinions.

bliss, is not a reference .. :p

ROFL!

you're quick hun ;)

PS. a good dj is also a good & humble person. if you're awesome, but also a selfish asshole, you will never play for me. if more promoters thought that way, we'd have a friendlier atmosphere in the scene .. my .5 cent.

lmao!

i mean.. lmno! (laughing my noune off)

ha! well, i'll leave that to you guys, i'll be thinking about noune ;)

lol! well, for the rest of you, they do make 6" vinyl :p

alright, i challenge y'all to a duel, at high-noune!

crisse, je ne peut pas ecouter du youtube en ce moment :/

y a ti'l du footage de la baleine-gonflable d'hier??

en tout cas, j'suis sur que c'est du pur genie ... XD

mutek is looking pretty damn interesting ..

going to bassdrive in the summer is pretty sweet too =)

... yeah, this thread is seeming like a bunch of social masturbation; or, in DJ terms:

crossing mah fader
tweaking mah knob
scratchin' mah 12"
plugging mah deck
matching mah beat
polishing the vinyl
cue-ing mah track ...

:p

hahaha! Dj Shitbag XD

Thnx to all the DJs for coming out and playing voluntarily for Mickos & I .. wicked sets all around!!!

Props to Melo & Milton for their kick-ass tag-team (and costumes!) .. and i had fun playing again w/ One Lab Rat :)

Thnx to everyone who came out to support the night, and who gave a few bucks to Mickos so he can throw his free party, Epic Coalition 3, on May 28th (be there!) .. We were happy to help =)

NOTE: OCDj will be back on May 18th, w/ an ass-kickin' Hardcore post-post-kinetik-fest night!! We are taking a break next week for Kinetik (there will be a pre-kinetik show next Tuesday at Passeport for those interested) but have alot of great stuff lined-up for when summer hits us after that!! Stay tuned for details...

power to the people!

cool night! thnx to everyone for coming out! good times as always ... =)

i'm stoked that this night is building itself nicely .. props to you hardcore ppls out there!

NOTE: Nest week OCDj is taking a break for the Kinetik Festival. There will be a pre-Kinetik night at Passeport, that we are not affiliated with - but it should be a great industrial/ebm night for those interested.. We will back the following week, May 18th, with an all-out Hardcore post-post-Kinetik event! Stay tuned for details... .. .

BRAP

ok ok .. so, it's past 6am ... i need to sleep soon so i can come out tonight!!

miss you guys! it's been, like .. 3 weeks!

<3

invisible minorities??

i have an invisible friend, and he's very offended :p

hahahaha...

ok fine. but for that we need a measuring device, for the distance.

some ppl prefer measuring tape, others a meter stick. do we go with CM or Inches?

to decide, we need to compare the products to determine accuracy and efficiency. a contest is in order!

:P

(this can on forever... lol)

Aww man, you got plur all over my shirt! :p

tonight @ passeport! good times ahead .. .. .. !!

LOL .. maybe i should!

The DJs who don't want to battle ... well, maybe we can make them the judges.

Now, we have to decide who gets onto the panel of judges, so we need a contest:

First, ... .. .

:p

well, we're actually doing tag-teams (and only a couple) .. i think the battling idea was for the actual rave, Epic 3.0, at the end of May...

drama? lol! not at my night!! OCDj = neutral territory
(and if ever there is drama, we just down a shot, and move on!)

but thnx, we'll have loads of fun! XD
