DJ Kue and I played there a couple of summers ago and the sound system is absolutely phenomenal, and probably one of the best club systems in the states.

Super sketchy neighborhood, but they have some phenomenal nights, with fantastic DJ's. And turbosound. I hang around with a crew of house-heads in SF, and they either end up there or play there quite a bit. My favorite is Jeno and Garth with back2back (sadly, garth is moving to LA soon...)

It's out of this world, back when I was doing vocal sets I caught myself thinking "holy poo poo this is an awesome system" but it is very bro-heavy

But they definitely have a lot of house events at 222. No way back, after sunset, back2back, forward, bionic. And at least whenever i've been there, it hasnt been bro-ish. I live in the far north (Chico) so I only make it to SF every month or 2. Bad bro-fest was 2nd Sunday (ugh), and one time i went to temple (also ugh)

Slo-mo house is my taste of choice these days, although I still do enjoy the occasional speaker raping of electro. One of my favorite acts at the moment are D-Pulse, a 5 piece from Russia. I first randomly discovered these guys back in 2006 while on a spree on Beatport, and have been looking for mixes and tracks by these guys ever since. Unbelievable mix of groove, funk, and atmospherics and deep, DEEP melodies make these guys so enjoyable to listen to. http://www.myspace.com/dpulseband Check out Prekrasna, and their Snowfall in Slowmotion Mix pt. 1. Their other tracks and productions are just as lush too. And while listening to a mix they did back in March, I managed to spot another gem in their "3/15/2010 In The Mix" mix. None other than another producer I discovered around the same time I found about D-Pulse: D-Pulse In The Mix 3/15/2010 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YJQSA95A At about 21:00 minutes in, I was OBSESSED about IDing this track, and someone was kind enough to provide a tracklist: Alex Douche - Second Track. This guy is money too, with a distinctive groove laden, melody saturated, emotionally injected style, I've been hooked on his productions and was delighted to find out that my favorite song at the moment was produced by none other than Alex Douche himself. http://www.myspace.com/alexdouche Another Russian duo, Acos Coolkas. Very lush and laidback "space house". Check out their "Warm Layers of Atmospheres" mix, for this is where I first heard Prekrasna. Their productions are jaw dropping gorgeous as well. "Miracle" is their best known track, but they have been churning out productions consistently while maintaining their level of quality high and keeping true to their distinctive sound. http://www.myspace.com/projectacoscoolkas Craig Smith blew my mind a couple years back with his 6th Borough Blend. A mix named after his 6th Borough Project moniker, this was my first exposure to "slo mo house". I still listen to this mix today. Timeless. All of his productions are awesome too. http://www.filefactory.com/file/a1b67he/n/Craig_Smith_-_A_6th_Borough_Blend.mp3 Last but not least, The Revenge. 1/2 of the 6th Borough Project. Graeme Clarke is the man at the moment. Ridiculous talent in mixing up funk, soul, and pounding grooves. His Beats In Space mix should provide ample evidence of his skills: http://soundcloud.com/the-revenge/the-revenge-beats-in-space-mix On A Whole New Level Of Funk, most definitely  Sorry for the somewhat confusing post, and I hope you enjoy these recommendations!

Soup! posted:People were throwing glowsticks at him @ philly. Philly show had terrible openers but the wait was worth it, the show was amazing. Disapointed that his overall act is shorter now Deadmau5 set felt so drat short in vancouver, the dance floor seemed more crazy with the openers than deadmau5s set. I felt somewhat ripped off with his show. Better producer than live performer, im pretty sure he just hits play on ableton and laughs at how much he is making each live set. Crowd started throwing mad glow-sticks when his encore lasted a whopping 2 minutes. The cube was great though.

Justice's new album should be interesting. They're very hot and cold with their dj sets, I've seen both good and bad sets of theirs. But their Studio stuff is pretty good.

Bloody Beetroots, Crookers, Gigi barocco, Sound of Stereo. Moving Away slightly, Proxy is good, Don Rimini and Les Petits Pilous. Sorry if they're no good but I love that style from the Congorock remix and there's not many artist I've found like that

I think the Bloody Beetroots are totally shithouse and it annoys me that such a large portion of the festival crowd in Aus thinks they're gods gift to dance music but I like minimal and techno and think electro sounds like fart music so I guess my opinion is a little skewed.

The Fresh Prince posted:Why would you post this? Yeah, he's playing the Catalyst. I've never been to DJ sets there, but I've heard bad things. The venue itself is awesome, but it's flooded to the brim with rolling prostitots. The age limit is 16+ and they sometimes don't really check ID for the DJ shows, so you end up with a lot of little kids walking around gnashing their jaws into oblivion. The sound setup is awesome, though, and the other DJs supporting him are pretty good. I've heard John Beaver play before, and I enjoyed his show.

Ya I cant imagine what a DJ Set is like there, since the venue is so small. Especially for a DJ like Benassi, where it seems like he would thrive off a 50,000 plus stadium gig. Also, the crowd could be really hit or miss. I'm predicting half UCSC students a third of underage kiddies, and round off the rest with gang bangers. Let us know how it goes though.

All I gotta say is, drat, the amount of hate tossed around at some of the more popular acts in this thread seems to make me think the EDM scene has been hijacked by glorified hipsters. Seriously, this poo poo's for dancin'. I don't care if it's simple or complex, new or old, popular or underground, if it makes me want to bounce it's drat good in my mind. From random users on Youtube to Hatiras to Deadmau5, if it's catchy and danceable, I'm cool with it. I gotta say though, Hatiras has historically played the funnest shows here in Newfoundland.

That was pretty much true up until recently. We've kind of had a boost in the scene recently. Syndey Blu, Hatiras, Deadmau5, MSTRKRFT, Wolfgang Gartner, Benny Benassi, and LMFAO among others have all played one or more shows within the past couple years, among many others. I know those are kind of generic names for the scene for the most part, but it's getting better. Apparently, despite the small size of Newfie-land and its venues, we've gotten a reputation for having great shows and apparently word is spreading that it's fun to do shows here. Unfortunately, our small size doesn't make us an attractive venue for any major tour dates mind you. Deadmau5 in particular seemed to love Newfoundland, and he did something that made me think the flak he gets for being a dick is unwarranted. He played a show which, unfortunately, the promoters jacked the price up for (In comparison to what is expected in Newfoundland), and many people were upset over it. When he couldn't leave Newfoundland following the Junos because of the volcanic ash fiasco (which caused many other celebrities to bitch and moan about being stuck in Newfoundland), he decided to host another show. Knowing some people were pissed about the price the promoters of his first show set, he put on a show for only the basic cover charge of the club ($15). I dunno, I thought it was kind of nice  .

It's funny but all the hipsterati I know and associate with have been deep into EDM for at least 10 years, and all they've been doing is following trends from acid house to London hardcore to big beat to big shiny house legends like AVH to current targets such as electrohouse and dubstep, and what we've gathered is that people who seemingly use hipsters as a scapegoat are usually knee-deep into the same artists as the ones they defile with their social slurs. That being said, deadmau5 collapsed in DC at 930 club and is currently hospitalized. No matter how much I hate on an artist, I'm not one to wish anything like this upon them...even with this rat.

It really has. I like a bunch of music all over the place and honestly some of the most fun times I've had are when really popular acts are playing. I had never heard of Swedish House Mafia before I saw them live at Ultra but gently caress if I didn't have fun listening to their stuff there. Electronic music seems to be turning into a hipster-filled pissing contest and sadly this thread is completely ruined because of it. You can't discuss the acts that appeal to a wider audience because certain posters just come in here and start up giant flame wars and wave their e-penises around about how they were on stage with Diplo. Can we please just agree to have a "if you don't like something shut up and be constructive?" rule? Like, "Hey, this person new to the whole electronic music scene likes deadmau5, instead of starting a flame war maybe I could suggest other things that might appeal to this person?" Or yeah just create a popular electronic music thread.

Which half of MSTRKRFT has the DJing talent? because Al-P is going to be in Kelowna soon and I'm hungry for some bloghouse.VenomHowell posted:That was pretty much true up until recently. The Okanagan valley is going through a similar boost. Almost all the DJs you just named have been to Kelowna recently and sometimes Penticton or Vernon even get something. Admission is way more expensive than it is in big cities though, as I imagine it must be in Newfoundland. It's cool that Deadmau5 did that but man sorry to hear about your expensive clubs. $15 on a regular night in St. John's? drat. I hope you're right about the night life being fun there. Maybe I'm biased though. Here in Vernon, people are so cheap that clubs can't charge any cover or else no one will go there.

BYOB posted:Also in light of this who Rusko/deadmau5 thing I find it kind of funny that it blatantly sounds like he took too much E. Joel claims the story was fabricated at least. I doubt he's really anti pot, even if he doesn't smoke it himself... Although I've heard rumours that he contributed music to an anti drug campaign in Canada. Haven't been able to confirm either way though. Hammsturabi posted:Which half of MSTRKRFT has the DJing talent? because Al-P is going to be in Kelowna soon and I'm hungry for some bloghouse. JFK is the one who headlined St. John's, and his show was fun. But I heard from (I think) Their 'Essential Mix' on BBC Radio that they prerecord their shows for the most part and just do minor tweaking and effects live. I think JFK might be the more prolific producer though, as he has a number of independent remixes. As for cover... Well... $10-15 dollars would be the typical cover for any 'event' happening at that particular club on a weekend, which is one of the more expensive because the cover encompasses 3 clubs, and typically the afterparty club cover as well. It is one of the more expensive covers in St. John's for sure. PoizenJam fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Aug 1, 2010 |

If any of you like chill house, deep house, or jazz house (like Kaskade or some such), I recommend Samantha James: "Rise" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC7wvaFYZmk "Breathe You In" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLXX7Th7edY "Subconscious" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnjc0oNZ_ZU&feature=PlayList&p=6F96AE8FE3739D80&playnext=1&index=28 The last song is just a snippet, unfortunately, but you can probably find a full version elsewhere.

I actually really dig those. I could see that music really being great to listen to early on in a night of dancing or just as the sun comes up. Very calming, although I do find the female vocals in this style of music to generally be a bit on the samey side. That being said, I adore Kaskade's style, but I find his new CD incredibly samey. It's possible I find the genre as a whole samey? I don't know.

Besides, I can have preferences without resorting to outright childish bashing. 'gently caress Deadmau5' and 'This music is poo poo' is a lot different from 'Hey, that's alright, but to me...' and following it up with a specific statement about my preferences. Maybe you think I'm splitting hairs, but I didn't say people shouldn't be stating their preferences. PoizenJam fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Aug 1, 2010 |
