DETOX PRESENTS 'ALCHEMY' - Saturday 21st Nov 2009

glad i went home early , as a back hander would be in order for those folk

why book these acts when theres has been problems b4 .

looks like the town is getting a few idiots djs and promotors recently

On a positive note, Dan and Carsons scratching has come on leaps and bounds

they did, they played in room 4 between 11 and 12 ish

as jonny and megatron swapped round theri sets and then megatron didnt play his 11-12 set , so raoul and yeti jumped on

only got told last minute that don was back in room 3 instead of raoul and yeti.

can anyone tell me if john rowe played....the djs were having such a good time some of them went a bit awol lol

the whole state of affairs has not been established although there are 10 witnesses who saw a certain dj launch static's cdj

regarding previous problems, i was not aware of any although some of their bretheren are a bit right wing or so ive been told

JAMES FOR INFO - - -RAOUL AND YETI PLAYED IN ROOM 4 WHEN THEY WERE SWAPPED WITH DON

so they didnt get bumped for them

darksyderz have a strong local following - and putting on a event of this size is a juggling act of combining the best local djs (who also pull punters)

no point putting some one on who is 10 times as good as sasha if they are likely to only pull in 1 punter

but it would be nice if the "accused" in question could come on here and explain their actions like

check out columbo

the rig in room 4 supplied by the uni was less than ideal.

all other rigs in the other 3 rooms were blinding tho

bit ironic being called Youseff and then giving it the big right-wing crack like

spoke ot a few of their lads before and they seem sound too!!!


bit offside for them to do that

reset!!!

dave , u been taking tips from RPM

NO!!!, but the real promoters are those who risk their OWN money and have to do a political juggling act of putting the best djs local djs on combined with headliners people will come out to see, whilst navigating all the egos and bullshit that goes with it.

if anyone could pack out venues the size of the uni then it would be packed everynight of the week and you would still have nights like freaky dancing on the go, BUT IT AINT EASY and thats why local clubsville is littered with the remnants of many that have tried and failed and populated even more by many many that just borrow ideas from those who have already done something tried and tested.

in the last 10 years I have never ever given anyone a set on the premise that they bring me in "x" number of punters. However, if there are 2 local djs equally as good and one has a following of like 30 people who come to see them and one has like no one who comes to see them WHO do YOU think will get the nod 99% of the time???

the thing people forget is it should be a team effort but it rarely is. There's no one there with their cash when the big bucks need to be found to pay for the whole whack of an event but there are plenty around when the adulation / plaudits of a successful event come rolling in.

with that other promotional outfit you mention (and i use the term very loosely) it hasnt taken long for a great number of people to suss out that they as djs or fellow promoters are only wanted to bring numbers into that event, whereas with DETOX the people that are involved in djing at the event / helping out are people that are genuinely classed as mates and thats WHERE there is BIG BIG BIG DIFFERENCE.

if I had a pound for everyone who has said that to me since last saturday I would be able to afford a night out

wise words...

Have no idea where to start with that comment. wtf.

not just a pretty face

daves successful uni gig has boasted his online ego again - you can tell this when his replys are long and contain references to detox - melt returns lol

I mean we all know who did what, but none of us saw him do it, aye???

so it would be good to hear that persons side of the story.

this is what i am saying

I therefore refer the honourable daly to his 20:20 gig that was run the same night as gods kitchen on 5th november 2005 ish for reference to "ART" over commerical acumen

AND my approach aint the same as digital!!!!!!!!!!!

digital put on djs that produce music for hairdressing adverts to pack the place out to make as much money for the bar as possible.

i put on events with djs that i want to see, who have been my idols for years and my only financial interest is in breaking even and bringing back in the money that I outlayed. THERE IS ONE hell of a massive difference.

They gave up after about 10 minutes coz the sound and decks were shite !

You should have Me, Raoul & Yeti doing a 3 hour oldskool techno set sometime
