yeah , i actually need to get in about some prodigy and pendulum because its been asked for a lot lately!

ive been djing in the student union, moshulu, snafu and tunnels and never once have i bowed to any request to play kaiser chiefs! i cannot stand them!

early razorlight is ok but rarely asked for these days since mr borrel went all tight and white on everyone!

and it used to be everyone asked for arctic monkeys but now its the cribs are probably the most asked for indie band on a saturday night. wierd how bands come and go.

i remember when the kooks first came out, all the girls used to mental for it so wed play it occasionally and then they got quite big and it wasnt cool to dance to them anymore so it was a floor killer - all within 4 weeks

im thinking in doing a report into disco science! what makes bodies dance!

i have some finding already but i guess there are much better things to do in life!
someone should do it tho , itd be fascinating!

DJ Random is a renowned legend in 'clubland' and I would quite happily pay for his flight across from Berlin to hear his boom boom. Asides from Random, take Scratch Perverts on Saturday - multiple times DMC world champions, have won too many other world scratch championships to mention both as a group and individually (plus I cant remember any of them) possibly the best known turntablist outfit in the UK and a group which is not only 'credible' but highly regarded and a product of 10+ years of hands on DJing all over the world - the door tax? Ten bucks. Compare this to a bunch of flavour-of-the-week neds who will be lucky to get a second album's worth of cover tunes out before they dissapate into nothingness spinning some old rock songs and charging nearly as much, I think one of them constitutes a bit of a better deal really. Although a quick listen to the View is enough to reassure me of the enormous spectrum of influences that they clearly have, you are forgetting that it's not only rockstars who know their music - what exactly would you hear at a View DJ set that Steve Milne wouldn't spin at DHC or AIS?

probably quite a lot of a difference in set to be honest
but id like to think in a good way on my behalf.
if you get my meaning.

Yeah that was meant to be a positive comment towards your DJing! My point is that fame through being in a band does not a good DJ make, and if their style is 'playing the records that influenced them' then it sort of cements this idea, and unlike you having DJed at DHC etc. for 2ish years they (in my eyes) are just using their current status to fuck around with a few tracks and make an unjustified quick buck on the side!

Anyone who is remotely interested in music and the clubbing scene on more than surface level should go to this...I think this could be an insight for everyone.

Right now, it's impossible to make any presumptions about what it will be like.
It's easy to say that The View & the Wasted Little DJs are just going to turn up with their MacBook and randomly select material from their playlist. I'd be inclined to think that, but the fact that The View are taking their DJ crew along suggest thought beyond the usual turning-up-and-seeing-what-happens thing has gone into this.

Of course, that doesn't mean they DJ regularly and have any idea what mixes and what makes a dance floor. If they think The Stone Roses (just as an example) does so then they may be in for a nasty suprise....but really, who knows?
You can only find out by going along.

Do any resident DJs actually play The View in Aberdeen?

[Ian_Brown]

The View are simply a cheap copy of the Libertines, like The Pigeon Detectives, Enemy, Holloways, Good Shoes (could go on and on). They were ok for a bit but now they're just annoying. I did see them supporting Babyshambles at Barrowlands a year or two ago and it was a pretty decent show. I think that had more to do with the venue though. I wish Aberdeen had a venue like Barrowlands

you should come down and see what you think, is caused a bit of controversy with the old crowd (which i can understand why as its nothing like air guitar at all). but its had 500 plus people in since it started so must be doing something right.

here is the first nights playlist:

Sounds pretty good actually, I'll have to check itout. I've been giving Moshulu a wide berth on Saturdays cos I thought it was still that bloody awful Air Guitar night.

[filth]

Update regarding Saturday......

Those kind folks at Moshulu have sorted it so the entry fee is now only £5 on Saturday and the party will now be in conjunction with their regular Adventures In Stereo Saturday night club night!

Thats right, your now getting The View & the Wasted Little Dj's with the Adventures in Stereo residents for only a fiver!

Everyone that has bought an advance ticket online will be refunded the difference on the door!

This is going to be a busy night and the Wasted Little DJ's are kicking the night off at 11 so we recommend you get there early!

[Love_Burns]

Will the club be open an extra hour with the clocks changing?

[Stuart]

Well that was certainly an interesting one.
