Hawtin on Nov 18th and Tiga on Nov 26  I'm also playing a gig in London Ontario mid November, this is looking like a great month. Also loving Popof right now and I'm very sad I missed him. His basslines are so drat good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0EVDDoZKmw Here are some more tracks I'm loving, In Out Life (The Groove) - Alex Tepper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=361z7pX4F_M Whores - Antranig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdxRFGfd7yw Firaga fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Oct 29, 2010 |

Chicago House-heads! So, I was at the Broken Note show at Smart Bar last night / this morning...and some random guy comes up to me and asks me if I'm gonna see Bassnectar on Saturday. I shrug and tell him I didn't know about it...then he gives me two tickets to see Chromeo and A-Trak at the Congress Theater on Saturday (10-30-2010)! I can't use 'em 'cause 1 - short notice, and 2 - I work...so whoever wants 'em and is in the Chicago area better get at me NOW Send all inquiries HERE.

Mr Viper posted:First HARD announces a special guest and everyone thinks it's gonna be daft punk. Now this Busy P show is advertising 2 *french* special guest, which of course everyone thinks is gonna be daft punk. I really can't wait for promoters to stop thinking they're clever and intriguing by hinting that DP is gonna be playing their dumpy little events. You were right, in my sugar coated fantasyland I was hoping it would have been Daft Punk or Justice, but as it turns out it was loving A-Trak and Chromeo, so apparantly "french" and "french Canadian" are the same thing. The show as great regardless, but I still felt ripped off at the end of the night. Whoever promoted that poo poo can suck my dick.

There is literally a French speaking area of Canada. Comparing French-Canadians to Italian-Americans is not on the same level. Once there are language laws like in Quebec, then you can talk about geographical bullshit and cultural heritage.

I was born in Montreal and lived there, so I think I know a thing or two about French Canadian and their loving ROOTS. Threatis literally lives 5 minutes away from Quebec, so yeah, we don't know a single Goddamned thing about it.

Pacra posted:now now, boys, no top tier genre sissyslap fights in this thread Agreed. S&D can do no wrong. Daft Punk might be the "cool" duo to praise, but Sasha and Diggers are on a completely different level in terms of programming sets and shows. Almost supra-human when it comes to knowing how to work a crowd in tandem like that. No wonder their annual WMC Yacht Parties are the most sought after event during that weekend. My favorite video from their Buenos Aires set in 2005. Madness when Beta Boy drops! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du60FW2u34U

Well there was a massive ticket scam based around a Daft Punk world tour in 2009, look it up it's not hard to find. That being said, Daft Punk playing with Phoenix is a pretty good sign that they'll be touring at some point in the future, after Tron comes out. Also, Quebec sucks! TDot for life bioottcchhh

Yeah that's kinda why I posted it. I remember being 16/17 getting into clubs and that was all the rage. People still go mad for it nowadays, wrecks my head that after a dj plays an astounding mix of los lobos/gypsy kings/ritchie valens remixes that more people were on the dancefloor when he played that  Edit: the "MC" is also the "DJ" Edit 2: that sasha mix is fabulous, it'll keep me going for weeks, it's the first I've ever heard of it, anyone want to fill me in on the "legend?" forpush fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Oct 30, 2010 |

Its just that its been so notoriously hard to get. A real collectors item. A well kept secret that everybody talked about. Only sasha can get this level of cult status going on. Saw him in Oslo in '99 and the dude was on. loving. point. Holy poo poo. He finished off with Hardfloors remix of Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke, and the place was literally boiling. Tune of the night was This though. Holy crap i must have lost 5kg's that night.

Hooooly crap Avicii played one of the best sets I've heard in a while. He played everything from house to trance to techno, his mixes and loops are spot on, and his track selection is incredible. He picks apart songs and mashes them together. Bromance closed the trance part of his set and he played the new remix, mixed it into the original, then brought the remix back. So good.

French Canadians certainly speak French, albeit their own version, but they are certainly NOT French. Not in culture, not in citizenship, and only superficially in their language. The two cultures are very much different. And Montreal is not at all indicative of the rest of Quebec. In fact, I think they'd both be insulted by such a statement.. well, maybe not some quebecois

Just saw deadmau5 at Voodoo Fest. Completely blew me away. I had no idea he would put on a show that energetic, but it was a great surprise. Second best electronic show I've seen, right behind Pendulum at the House Of Blues.

Some of my friends were slow to like him after I showed them My Name Is Skrillex and Da Do Oliphant but with this new track Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, they seem to be getting on board. It's just really dynamic and dirty.

At the festival I went to this weekend, I saw a bunch of electronic acts. Rusko, Boys Noize, Ferry Corsten, The Crystal Method, Paul Van Dyk, Oakenfold, deadmau5, etc. But deadmau5 was the most fun out of all of them.

I've always thought his stuff was okay but not offensively bad and have teased friends for being really into him. Is it just that he's perceived as mediocre but inexplicably popular and thus deserving of hate or is there some deeper reason to it.

Really annoying fanbase and a lot of dick moves that are well documented on the internet thanks to his nerdiness. You don't see this thread up in arms about Tiesto's bland music that he pumps out on the regular, for example, but every time Deadmau5 takes a poo poo the internet knows about it so it opens him up to a lot of hate. His life is highly publicized and highly observed so people like to poo poo on him because they think his music is unworthy of such a rabid fanbase. But it's just music, y'know? Who gives a poo poo? Why making a 'bad' song should be the cause for such outrage is beyond me. Also, he snubbed threatis at a party once.

He's a giant douche, I wasn't disputing that with my post. He put on a great show, though. Almost Daft Punk-like with the big LED "DM" which was kinda like the pyramid at Daft Punk's shows a few years ago. Lots of great visuals, he kept the crowd pumped up the whole time, took off the mask and dressed up like a ghost at one point because it was Halloween, etc. It was just a fun show to witness. But as a person? Dude's an rear end in a top hat. Just about everything I've heard him say in interviews and stuff he's posted on message boards and the like screams "I'm a giant dick" to me.

I think it follows a formula and despite being well produced is massively lacking in creativity. It bores me to tears. A light show is a nice thing to have, but you need that as well as good music otherwise it's pointless for me.

Over AIM, he got very abrasive with a good friend of mine after a bootleg was released containing a sample from one of his records. He threatened that he would get EMI's lawyers to take it down if he didn't, and that he should be ashamed of himself for "stealing other people's music" It was an edit that he made that was posted by someone else.

I'm not going to dispute the guy is a dick in real life, but god drat if Strobe isn't loving fire. And yeah the new Skrillex EP is ridiculous. I think people would be more receptive to him if he didn't look like well like a 7th grade gothic lesbian.

Just sayin' that that kind of stuff is a nice bonus and adds more flair to the show. Some of the DJs I saw this weekend just stood behind the table and spun, fist pumping occasionally but not much more than that. deadmau5 was actually entertaining to watch in addition to the music being great. High-energy music combined with crazy visuals and an entertainer putting it all on is a winning combination. There wasn't really a single moment during his set when the crowd wasn't seriously pumped up.
