the amount of times I've almost unleashed a newcy brown bottle jawside to some prick after repeated "can't you play anything faster?" requests (usually accompanied by repeated record skippage as they bump into the table) is unbeleivable. Where do those pricks get off? Do they think all DJs just carry around every genre of music possible in a little dj bag just so they can put a smile on some pilled up c*nts face whose only interaction with you has been to piss you off? DO THEY?

sorry

lol I know what you're referring to. And 40 year old women asking if you got any Leftfield. Did you hear that one?

Always best to travel prepared - they do pay your wages after all.

And we can make out that half-step's actually 140-145, but it does actually sound like 70-72 - doesn't fool anybody to be honest. You can explain it away to people but if they don't feel it, they ain't dancing. Mind you most of my crew are fiending for gabba so they're a little difficult to please

ie - drum and basssssss.

Some jerky boy was asking me this at your night when i came down from the dj bit saying "excuse me mate, everone down here wants to hear something a bit faster" - i looked over the crowd - 50 to a hundred people all dancing and smiling - and told him no, everyone has come here because it's a dubstep night, look, they're all loving it. You then told me that someone downstairs would be playing it so i sent him down there - funny thing was at the end of the night you said that that dj never turned up.

needless to say, i was happy with it.

Oops.

Nah, you're right they're stnuc. Cheers for clearing that up.

there's always one

I'm actually packin a lot more UKG these days to keep them happy in a mixable context (and cus its heavy and the old tunes perversely keep soundin fresher as time goes on), which i guess brings us back to the initial point..

cant understand why people go to nights with music they dont wanna hear????!!!!!!

tomorrow im off to the honeyclub for some funky house just so i can complain to the dj that theres no snare, and too many kicks.. anyone wanna join me?



ez shonky btw

Top man, geezer, etc.

Don't remember it being that big in Brighton, but folks always react well to it, whenever I've played out (infrequently, shoddily)

dont get me wrong, i'd still rather play out under any circumstance offered and deal with the odd dickhead than get precious about it, youre just pushin records about after all and I'm happy there are promoters out there who are willing to support new music at multi genre nights that despite press attention is still pretty obscure and not to everyones taste

@necta: Agent X, Sticky, Jameson, wideboys and other cheesy but heavy stuff, works really well when you want to build up gradually to a really open bassy half steppa

Ah right, just wonderedwhat sort of era. To me The term UKG still sort of encompasses everything but lets not open that can of worms (again.)

Been scanning a few old bits at Juno, still some nice stuff there if you can take the time to look - bought this one a few years back, and still killer, and they still got it http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF86508-01-02-01.mp3

Cheers. Not being funny but I've probably got it all - I was spending pure p's on vinyl back in them days.

B.t.w. unlikely, nothing cheesy about them artists 01'/ '02, for me, was 'the golden era' in alot of ways.

same here mate! some bits are cheesy but only in a good way (just in case remix etc.)

I think I'd spaz out like never before if I heard that dropped in the middle of a dubstep set!

It was all about when chef dropped that 'ghetto move' tune from out of nowhere a while back (can't remember where) but it blew me away!

No worries. Cheesy presumably means tunes that folks smile and dance to before the po-faced serious business comes on no doubt

Loads of those 2-step beats were well ahead of their time, things have been getting less funky ever since.

Its becomin a bit of a trademark in my sets now (just in case that is)

that or triplets

Triplets II had some serious bass-weight. That tune made me drop my jaw when I heard it.
