"ehh this is techno i want to listen to metallica"
oh yeah and "this sounds like electronic fart noises" (benga&walsh - bingo)
but there are also some people actually digging it, or at least sayin they can listen to it.

Burial's album playing and one of my friends had this fantastic comment about it...
"wtf's this? its so depressing, like we are walking in a funeral march or something.. dont you have anything happier?"
exactly, thats the point, deep and dark, thought he learnt quite fast

Well, if we get this kind of wisdom from a fellow dj, it feels akward to demand unprejudiced listening from the punters...
The dj in particular is from the sticks, not to up on whats going on I guess. It wasn't even a dis. He was just confused. Probably didn't think any other style of dance could sound as heavy as dnb. It's the sort of reaction I have been getting around here. A bit of shock but a good shock.

everyone ive showed dubstep to has gone mad for it.
from my brother who is a punk to my indie/electro loving flatmate to mates who love the ROCK \m/, to proper ragga junglists.
the most popular response i get is the blank faced "what the? i dont get it" face that slowly morphs into a half smile headnodding "this is actually awesome" face.
i played 2oh1's "ghost train" to a room of hippies/emos/hardcore kids/electronic heads/indie kids/acoustic singer songwriters etc and pretty much the whole bar was nodding by the end - (its a community arts centre which is why there was such a random collection of heads!)

recently I was on a car trip to the beach. whilst en route the guy says "hey can I play some music from my MP3 player, I've got some sweet techno".
at this point I'm laughing my ass off inside my brain, and I agreed to hear what he wanted to play, out of morbid curiosity. He then proceeds to play this shitty gabber tune that has a synth in it that's the tune to the nutcracker suite.
oh....my...god.
then I throw on N-types set from uhh, june 24th I think (?) the one that starts with the remix of insomnia. anyway, he was all "holy shit! what is this" and I told him what it was. He really really liked it and commented "whenever I ask someone to play some sweet techno, they always play some DDR shit". He spent the entire time at the beach Brapping and saying innit and other various N-typisms.
hilarious.
I gave him a bunch of MP3 cds I had laying around, I hope he sees the light.

I've got a gig comming up in a kinda indie type club. It's not in the main city (Melbourne) where the dubstep scene is, it's in a much smaller city about an hour away near where I live. Now 95% of the town just listenes to pinger loadad ministry of sound trash, or punk and metal bands. This one bar does sometimes have a little but of DnB playing, alot of hiphop, and they often have reggae bands. It's for a once off night and the promoter wants me to start of with deeper minimal tech kinda vibes and then take it through dubstep. Drum n bass dj playing after me.
Kinda nervous and aprehensive, can just imagine alot of blank faces, complaints, people comming up and asking for all sorts of lame shit and me having to explain that I don't have it.
figure throw a little more farmiliar garage type stuff in there and shit. I dunno.
lol
