Didn't read the whole thread. Any of you use FL Studio to mix?
Saw The Orb live, not really my thing musically, but they had a sick live show.
Good DJs/acts I have seen:
Daft Punk (simply unreal live, I you not)
Bjork (her voice is ridiculous live and her band was super tight)
Green Velvet (old school Chicago progressive house)
Muscles (dude from Australia with a lot of heart)
Cheb I Sabbah
Tommie Sunshine
John Kelly
Felix Da Housecat
Air (only if you are outdoors and chilling)
BT
Carl Cox (a lot better live than I expected)
Meh:
Thievery Corporation
Oakenfold
Ladytron (more a band really)
Those that sucked:
Audio Bullys
Chemical Brothers (think i caught them cracked out)
Basement Jaxx (easily the worst electronica I have ever seen)
Presets
Not really electronic, but it is a remix and has a minimal ambient sound to it.
Can't really agree with your listing of The Presets as 'electronica.' They're more a band than DJs. The Chemical Bros. are amazing live--so you would probably not be cracked to get their shows.
Green Velvet
Daft Punk are definitely agreeable.
TGM, here's a few channels on youtube you'd probably like: http://www.youtube.com/user/dnbtrax /// http://www.youtube.com/user/pandadnb /// http://www.youtube.com/user/dubsteptrax /// http://www.youtube.com/user/UKFDrumandBass
I highlighted the ones I've seen in person
No need to highlight for me--i've seen all of them lol.
I'm not a huge Basement Jaxx live fan--but I like some of their music. I've spent nearly 15 years listening to this genre and it's so vast that you can find new stuff out that you've never heard!
Thanks for the recommendation, Symple.
Good track, superior to the reprise imho
You mentioned Chicago house, prime1
Favorite party I ever went to was @ the Tabernacle in Atlanta. Lineup included Bad Boy Bill and R Humpty Vission. They each did a solo set and then did house connection. ing glorious
Frankie Bones was also there, and at one point they were all together on 7 decks.
I saw that BBB and RHV got back together not too long ago in LA to do their thing. Would love to see that again
Top 5 Trance song imo
I used to live in Cali. It sucks they closed down Circus, we had some great times there back in the Giant/Spundae days. That place had a great system, awesome space, and the best people working there. The polar opposite of Avalon. Every time I went to that place it was always such a ty time I wonder why I went after I leave. in place attracts too many guidos and orange county heads. Not even close to the same thing as the Circus Disco. Man that place was great. WTF ever happened there? Is Gene still getting slapped by the city/mafia? That place needs to come back, it was just so great for the LA scene. .
Of course I live back in South Texas now so it wouldn't matter to me anyways
Indeed. I've seen both him and John Digweed live. LOL, I saw them on the Northern Exposure tour... I'm old
Whose troll are you anyway?
.
Liquid Groove threw a lot of badass parties in Atlanta, and I know they also threw some in LA. Ever hit up any of those? They were the ones who brought in guys like John Kelly (who was a resident of theirs), Sasha & Digweed and other top American trance DJs such as Christopher Lawrence and George Acosta
lol, nevermind
Never saw them. tbh the worst time I had was in NYC although I didn't go that much when I was there. The rare times I went to a club it was filled with American Apparel hipsters and dirtbag eurotrash instead of cute asian girls hugging each other. If I had more time when I was there I could have maybe found some cooler spots.
tbh just to fellate Circus a little more...
When you went there you knew:
that you were going to be treated with respect by the staff...
that if there was crappy trance in the big room you could always pop in the side room and see Sol, Valerie and the Vibe Tribe, or something bouncy...
that you could get on the $10 list and show up before 11 most nights no problem...
that the outside was a place where you could hang out instead of some crappy alley...
that they would not double book the room and keep you waiting outside forever....
that the crowd would be chill...
that there would be lasers and go go dancers...
that you could party without feeling threatened or having to worry about whatever...
When you think about it, none of that on its own is really amazing, but they did all of it and none of the other big clubs in LA did. Several really crappy experiences at Avalon, Hollywood Athletic, and the downtown clubs made me appreciate Circus that much more.
I was also partial to Circus because it was the shortest cab ride to my place of all the clubs.
Where do you live in Cali symple?
SF was great for little asian girls. Not too hard to pick them up when they're rollin' their socks off. Favorite club there was 1015 Folsom
Atlanta was mostly a bunch of middle class kids who liked to roll in from the burbs (like myself).. Especially the trance parties
The jungle/DNB/Breaks parties were always sick in tha ATL because you'd get the most diverse crowds and all the break crews would come out and put on a uva show.
Only place I've ever really partied on the East Coast was Nation in DC. It was a foam party and Mauro Picotto was spinning, along with Lisa Lashes. Top notch, especially since 95% of the women were in bikinis and wet
