  1. Give this a shot - HARDCOREWILLNEVERDIE has alot of good isht
  2. So who here dj's this stuff, produces, promotes? Who wants to have a laugh and party to good music? Also - Hating and negativity are serious bad looks. It's way to easy to be salty in front of your pc when chatting on forums.
  3. yeah i think you're right - a strictly simgle genre party would n't work longterm simply because in a town like aberdeen it would just be too niche. A bassline party woulod work though. bruk, fidget, niche, UK garage, grime, dubstep, jungle, rave.... it would be sicko_O
  4. Yup that's how it went down - pretty sure it was all about the money on that one - fair do's to the club, I understand they want cash not diverse music. I had thought the club was booked two months previous but the dude handling the promotion... basicly begged me to do the job.... then went and neglected to get any written agreement. I think if people genuinely want somethig then it will happen - Belmont social club... a Hired Sound System? It's sad that the main clubs in town have such low regard for new music. I really wonder why some people are in this business - you have to make money right, but at some point these folks have to ask themselves... will people be dancing to (insert played out genre) in three years time?
  5. Okay i don't know if any of you remeber but I tried to do aberdeens first dubstap/bass genre party - ACIDTEST - I got shafted by some folk in club land after I had arranged a top guest at a great price for the public - Neil Landstrumm didn't play Aberdeen at triptych but we did get to hear his set including original material well before other folks in the uk did. I lost a heap of cash but luckily the event still went ahead in part. Snafu took the booking so atleast Neil didn't get fucked around. There is a real opportunity to make something work but as I learnt that night this ain't "Show Love" this is "Show Business". The Pelican and Moosh promotions were out of line. If people get their shit together and work with the right people then anything is possible. I can think of two great producers that would come and play next week for the travel and a packet of chips (well almost). If 10 people bring 10 friends you've got a gig. if those 100 people have a good time and you show them the loyalty they deserve (good bookings, imaginative music policy, resonable door tax) then before you know it you have a scene. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

  15. I've just heard word that Annie Lennox is home for xmas and she's doing the cloaks. Apperently she's happy to do it for free as long as she gets to give Giles a bed bath.
