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.

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

i remember going down to the pelican that night to be told they didn't have a clue about neil landstrumm and actually it was some gay night. i wasn't happy.
Aberdeen just seems dead in terms of anything musically interesting, im sick to death of dnb and everything else pretty much does my head in. I wonder what happens next.
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?

i am really depressed at the moment about the state of club nights in aberdeen
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.

This is an excellent interview with Neil Landstrumm in which he offers up some sensible criticism of current media trends and the music industries fascination with pidgeon holes. A must for music lovers.

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.

Ok so you want to trip but not risk taking acid or mushies - here's what to do:
when one hallucinates it's because the brain is producing alpha waves - these can be replicated by facing, with your eyes closed, lights strobing at the correct frequency. A guy called Brion Gysen knew this and set about making an object called he called the "dream machine". It's essentially a piece of of tubing with apertures cut into it with a light source in the center and a revolving base. It can be made at home and fitted on top of a record turntable. It really works! In honour of this visionary pioneer (see what I did there???) Scurvy will be creating a dream machine and a giant kaleidescope - these interactive sculptures will aid and enhance the visual experience of party goers and maybe change the way you see the world (sorry puns are like scag to me).

Starting his professional career in 1994 Neil has released music on several international electronic labels and also worked in the motion graphics field with MTV, Rockstar Games and The Magnificents. To date Landstrumm has released 5 Experimental Electronic albums, 1 Art-Rock-Blues-Beat album, several 12" singles and remixes on labels ranging from Peacefrog, Tresor, Sonic Groove Mosquito, to his own imprint, Scandinavia. Neil has collaborated with Cristian Vogel,
Si Begg, Mike Fellows, Bill Youngman and Tobias Schmidt the best know of which is Sugar Experiment Station.
He is native to Scotland but has recently spent 6 years living in New York soaking up Brooklyn and Queens best in lifestyle, culture and music.
2006 sees Neil at the head of a successful creative factory called Scandinavia producing and releasing music, motion graphics and television Ids and a print-based clothes label. New and uncharted music territories are currently being navigated.
Essentially a live artist, Neil has built his reputation on uncompromising live performances world wide with shows most recently at Unit?Tokyo, Rex-Paris, Tresor-Berlin and Electrowerkz-London.
Bass-Tech beats, Grime, Electro-Techno, Broken-Beat, Miami bass, beat throw downs or dirty swing style-lets stop the pigeons with their holes and get on with the real deal.. Landstrumm creates his classic stomach pumping bass, metallic and melodic clangs and odd funky percussive swing lines live and in full effect. Whistle crew where are you?
This isn't some laptop-noodle performance. It's live electronics at it's very best.
Supporting live will be Aberdeens very own Kid Quaalude. A prodigious innovater and producer his recently acclaimed "I Love Rock and Roll" EP presented the public with "rauwkus " 8-bit productions of classic rock Anthems. - not to be missed! (on from 11pm).
DJ beats for disco feet will be provided by the ever surprising Giles Walker and Nil Munny.
Gallerie Schmallerie along with Moosh! Marketing are pleased to announce that to accompany this outstanding underground music event a 3D VJ set is being presented accompanied by free 3D specs and Laughing Gas. Artists Die Ned Die, Scurvy and Grin&Bearit will be producing installtions featuring Giant Kaleidescopes, Alfa wave emmitting light sculptures and tripped out video animations.
All this For 6!

Enjoy the Trip!
