That certainly sucks for younger EDM fans, but as someone who attends massive events like EDC, the worst part is always the younger crowd. The groups who charge the gates and try to break security are always full of younger kids, and I tend to find that most of the people I see sitting on the sides too screwed up to do much of anything are the younger kids. Not to say that the twenty-somethings don't cause trouble, but to be perfectly honest, High School kids have no place at an event like EDC. I remember seeing thirteen and fourteen year olds at a New Years Eve All Ages Rave put on by the same event company, and quite frankly that's just wrong. Hopefully there will be a lot less Prosti-tots. They'll still find many ways to sneak in... It happens everywhere

I just found out Sander Van Doorn is going to be playing a club in San Francisco in a month for $15... That's a pretty good deal, I think.

jonmitz posted:Yeah man, sander is loving awesome. He plays twice a year in SF. I'm going to miss him in august because I'm going go be in Europe. y Getting on the guest list would be awesome, but the event IS only $15 so I'm not too worried. Only thing I'm worried about is that I've heard Ruby Skye is relatively strict with their dress code and such, which would put a bit of hamper on the fun, but that's for another thread.

My only concern about the Ruby Skye dresscode is that the people I generally go to EDM/Trance events with are all... well, they're pretty much complete candykids, and there's no way I can really convince them to not dress like a retarded twelve year old if it involves electronic music. I might end up seeing Sander Van Doorn by myself, but I'm fine with that, he's one of the DJs I need to see.

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.

Some kid I go to College with has apparently managed to somehow secure Benny Benassi, Steve Aoki, and MSTRKRFT to DJ an event in March. I don't understand how, but I'm not going to ask questions. I don't get how he plans on doing this (and I wish his taste in DJs didn't suck) but hopefully this pans out and I get free admission to a (hopefully) good electronic event.

Slackerish posted:Boo hoo you live in an area where every loving electronic musician ever plays your life is so loving hard. Whoa, didn't think I was inciting that much anger over that comment. Apologies. Try going to a show in Santa Cruz, though - it's filled with fourteen year olds on ecstacy, gangsters selling heroin, and confused college freshman. It's a pretty funny mixture. Also all the good electronic shows are fourty five minutes to an hour away in San Fran, we just get local DJs (who aren't half bad though), a bunch of rich college kids "mixing" dubstep, and the occasional big electronic name at the main club (Bassnectar last February... still regret missing that, and Benassi in a few weeks). To get back on the train, could someone lead me to artists that sound like Jack Beats? I'm not sure what style of music they are (googling leads me to fidget or electro house) but I really dig these heavy dance-y basslines, and a lot of dubstep music is a bit too aggressive for my tastes. Their essential mix is awesome, though. An small local event this weekend, Sander Van Doorn next weekend, and then the Chemical Brothers in Oakland the week after that. I haven't listened to the Chemical Brothers much but I've heard good things. Where should I start with their music to familiarize myself before their show?

Saw Steve Aoki at a small club in Downtown Sacramento last night. Unsurprisingly, the opening DJs were better than him. He absolutely insists on playing random metal/rockish sounding songs that are completely out of place at an electro event (in my opinion at least) but the crowd was insane, which was good. Now that I've seen him at a massive event and at a small club, though, I don't feel any impulse to see him again...

Nope, I was saying that they were pretty drat good. I met one of them, Vinny I believe was his name - if you personally know him, send him my props because he spun one hell of a set.

I dunno there weren't too many hosed up transitions / lovely songs that night. Honestly Aoki had more dead spots in his set than anyone else. There was one instance early on in the night where I could tell that whoever was playing completely hosed up whatever he was doing but that's about it. I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to live music, though - as long as I can keep dancing. edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq8krNFL3_U nice track!

Sander Van Doorn is playing in San Francisco Friday night at the Ruby Skye for anyone interested. I'm pretty excited about it, he's one of my favorite trance artists and I've heard real good things about his DJ sets so I'm pretty excited. There's also a rather large event occuring in Sacramento this Saturday with three stages and a couple of good DJs. John Beaver is going to be there, and he's pretty fun live, and so is G.A.M.M.A. who I recently saw spin a pretty good dubstep/electro set.

Whoever said Sander Van Doorn is the happiest DJ ever was right, cause god drat the guy never stopped laughing/smiling/interacting with the crowd. He was taking pictures of himself on peoples cell phones / texting them messages / giving high fives the entire time. Awesome guy to see live, and he spun a really loving good set, too. I got to hear Purple Haze so I'm happy.

I'm seeing the Chemical Brothers this weekend in Oakland, but to be honest, I haven't really heard very much of their stuff. I'm going on the recommendation of one of my friends who says that it shouldn't be missed. Could someone recommend me an album / few songs to check out to get caught up with their sound? I have their latest I believe, but that's it.

The Get-up-and-Dance crews have been there since last year. And EDC is still going to be a massive trainwreck because half the rules that are posted on the flyers are never followed anyway. Saw a lot of Massagers, Winnie-the-Pooh backpacks, plush animals, and other silly toys inside of the last three "massives" I've gone to, despite them being banned.

It's called the 418 project. Ever seen an advertisement for those BASS-OFFs or whateverthefuck they're called? Vital has a monthly Dubstep show there, and it's packed wall to wall with high school kids on drugs. And Excision seems to come to this town every loving month to make a sellout show at the Catalyst. Kids around here love dubstep and Vital loves throwing all-ages dubstep shows full of 14 year olds wearing beads and high on piperazines. I was so pissed when they put Zedds Dead on the lineup because it's just going to attract the dubdouches, but I'm hoping that since Zedd's dead is on before Jack Beats (unless vital is retarded with timeslots) all the bassdouches will leave.

I'm pissed I cant go, but jesus the venue they are playing at is horrible. There are a couple SC goons that are in this thread so you can agree with me that for the Caliber of DJ's that are A&B the Civic Center is a horrible location. Not to mention that it is an All ages event. Where else could they play? The Catalyst is awful... I feel like the Civic Center is a pretty sweet venue to be honest, one of my favorite smaller ones to see electronic music. Luckily this is a trance show so all of the terrible Santa Cruz 14 year olds who live for Dubstep should be gone.

I saw that show... I really don't dig Steve Aoki much; I've seen him three time and all three times it was pretty much the same stuff, and it just wasn't much fun. Also that's way too close to finals for me, and as a graduating senior (UCSC) I should probably just focus on more important things.

melee beats posted:What do you expect though? SC is pretty small It's really hard to throw parties in Santa Cruz. The Civic center is the only venue that will take in EDM at this point, because the fanbase in Santa Cruz is made up of literally every single awful stereotype about EDM ever, and they ruin every venue they touch. There used to be about five places that would throw an EDM "party" (Veterans Hall, Catalyst, 418, Civic, and Motiv (sort of)), and they've all backed down completely. Also, "amplified noise" can't go past 1am in Santa Cruz, and the police force is pretty zealous about that. There's a possibility of renegades/forest parties, but the second word gets out to a UCSC student, they tell all of their awful kandikid dubstep-lovin friends and then all of a sudden your event is on Facebook with 1500 attending and the cops come twenty minutes in to the party starting. gently caress the Santa Cruz EDM "scene"... And didn't a Getter track get played by Bassnectar for awhile? I guess that's for a different thread, though.

I've dug their previous EM's, and I'm in the process of acquiring this one. I haven't listened to the new Essential Mixes in awhile, now that I think of it.
