woah! it's tonight!

in fact it's in a few hours, and i just woke up o_O

time to run like mad! see you guys there .. don't forget to wear your drinkin' shoes, put on your dancin' shirt, and plaster your face full o' make-up!

=)

lol!

rofl!!

nah, i gotz balls of pure diamond - i can even read records with 'em! :p

wicked! i want it!

i really need to get a paypal account going ... .. .

bwahaha! XD

or, i'll just Roshambo you for the title :p

haha! awesome .. i've practised a couple of times blindfolded, it's fun/neh! should try it again soon.

thnx, we will! XD

i'm confused.. so, you refuse to play at the party, to avoid drama, but you're still up for battling? ok, i just wanted to make that clear ;)

Well, if it's gonna be done, it should be done right:

first, you need about 10 DJs. they play about 30 minutes each - this is the regular season.
--> Point system: 1 point per track played, -2 for trainwrecks, -1 for near misses w/ recuperation, and bonus points (1 to 5 pts) to be decided by 3 judges, which depend on crowd enthusiasm, and track selection. Also, -1 pnt for playing Tiesto tracks, and -1 pnt for every backspin.

second, eliminate the bottom 2 DJs - we now head into the playoffs.
--> 20 minutes sets. 1st place Dj battles 8th place, 2nd place battles 7th etc. Battles are won depending on: number of trainwrecks relative to the number of tracks played, crowd enthusiasm, sound control (volume fluctuation, EQ balance, etc.), and track selection.

third, round 3, 4 DJs eliminated, 4 remain - the semi-finals
--> Based on the same judgements as the previous battle, we eliminate 2 more DJs.

fourth - the final battle
--> 2 x 30 minute sets each. judged using the harshest Dj criteria, including: technique, number of tracks played, number of trainwrecks, track selection, scratch ability, sound control, crowd manipulation/interaction, originality, creativity, stamina, and, of course, cleanliness of records (an inch of dust on the needle once a track is half-way done - you lose) ...

--> If a tie results, there are two options - either a rapid-fire 10 question quiz on musical knowledge, or, another 15 minute battle, blindfolded.

(yes, there are similarities between this and hockey playoffs, but remember, you can't spell disc jockey without the word jock)

:P

I remember hearing Double A & Twist for the first time at the radio station i volunteer at (not them playing but a cut from a record) in, about, '99 and it was pretty much my introduction to d'n'b .. great stuff!

i didn't rave in the 90s, but i loved some of the old hardcore parties from 2000/2001 (no one minds if i add a little word in for the hardcore scene? XD )

the best party was We are Slaves, mostly put together by Cybervamp (R.I.P.) -- and looking at the flyer, i notice some local names that i miss now! like Earthquake.. also noticed Urania who played at the 2nd party i ever went to, Klear-Hize, she was solid, and i wonder what ever happened to her ...

anyway, fuck the Djs, i vote for the ppl in attendance ... "best crowd ever"

:p !

oh man, only 26 hours to go .. then we welcome the absurd :p

epic tuesday.. who'd've thunk it?

en effet .. t'sais, c'est subtil, mais je croix que il y a 3 differentes facons de jouer ensemble:

1. Versus
2. Tag-team
3. Battle

versus are interesting, tag-teams are fun, and battles are competitive ...

choose your own adventure :p

there, i +1ed it back into amazing [0] .. competition should be taken care of by out-promoting the other guys, not by rating threads as spam..

unless someone is just rating it down 'cause it's a fancy club thing - lol

good luck w/ your event =)

:D

well, i'm schizophrenic, so i usually tag w/ myself :p

but this time, with my fav person to tag with, one lab rat! we always have a riot when we play together =)

haha! right on..

it's like, a special world where everybody rocks XD

+ 10000! XD

rofl .. appliances!? ewwww!

:p

hahaha! XD

well, epic coalition 1.5 already has melo vs. milton clark, and me vs. one lab rat, but i think those are gonna be alot more along the lines of friendly-fun-good-timey tag-teams... =)

battling... seems like a pissing contest for DJs, no? of course, i'd probably win just 'cause i'm the only one willing to urinate on my records :p hahaha...

at least you get to play tomorrow night! ;)

yeah, i was also gonna try to swing by after work, and then my friend got the text just before we closed the bar, saying it was busted :/

really sorry to hear it Noah, but at least everyone seemed to have fun before it was done!

honestly though, i knew that venue was burned -- so, i hope no one rents that place out anymore. what really sucks though, is that we're already limited, and now 'cause of some cop-grudge, we've lost another room ... meh, what can i say? life is hard. :p

i always have advice for appliances.. but they never listen :(

Na vs. Tiesto ... anyday ;)

but if he brings a laptop w/ a pre-recorded set, imma call shenanigans! :p

no mention of the Foufs incident?

ok then .. flame-on! :p

right on!

bass, booze, & bouncing ... mmmmmm

=)

Merry Christmas everyone!

that'll be never! the new ice age just hit :p

now where did i put that acorn ...

TiestNoooooooo!

hmm wait, with today's weather, maybe that should be: Tiesnooooooow!

(nothing like terrible jokes to break the mood :p )

holy fuck... snow.

thnx alot, global warming! :p

Tonight!! Passeport!! Hard tunes!!

Don't let the snow n' slush get ya' down, we're warming up the beats for you all ... :p

i'd let you crash at my place, but i don't think the two of you would be comfortable sleeping next to me in my 2 1/2 appartment XD .. and you'll be pissed when i wake you up at 9:00 am 'cause i have to back to work at Kinetik - lol

Check out the rates of the 'brand name' hotels that are on Rene-Levesque (that's where most of the artists will be staying anyway - hehe) .. if i get the chance, i'll check some prices for ya', though i'll probably be just doing the same 'net research you've already done, except that i know the streets n' stuff haha :)

either way, good luck!

haha! right...

btw, i type-o'ed: it's Justin Bieber, not brieber - as if he deserves to have his name spelled properly, heh.



and what's up with the lame emo-ish 'i-always-have-the-wind-at-by-back' haircut??

So a riot breaks out in Australia, after Canadian pop-singing teen-sensation Justin Brieber gets his (free) show cancelled by cops due to safety reasons 'cause of overcrowding...

And so, punks are the scum of the earth, busted raves end in ravers calmly shuffling home, protests on important issues barely get news coverage, and no one cares about ppl fighting for their lives ... but a cancelled free-concert by a douchy white-boy-teen pop singer (who was only scheduled to play 3 songs) deserves an all out violent tween riot that ends w/ 10 injured ppl!? really? REALLY??

i find this both very funny, and yet very disturbing..
