DJ WORDY
www.myspace.com/djwordy
Originally a guitarist, dj wordy was inspired to become a turntablist after getting his hands on a pirate dvd ofthe 2000 world dmc championship Wordy immediately sold his guitar to buy one deck, one mixer & one piece of vinyilwhich he practised on solidly for 6 months before getting a break in beijing's clubs Wordy finally got hold of a 2nd deck just 2 months before entering the2004 chinese dmc finals, where incredibly he came 3rd.

A years solid practice later and Wordy returned to win the 2005 chinese dmc title, and with it the chance to represent china at the world dmc championships. Since then DJ wordy has gone on to defend his chinese dmcchampionship title in 2006 & 2007 and become a true pioneer forhip hop & electronic music in china.

DJ wordy will be playing both a showcase turntablist set, and a longer party set cutting up hip hop, reggae, drum & bass, electronica with his own unique chinese flavours.

FREAKY DANCING ANNOUNCEMENT

BAD NEWS
Due to delays in obtaining a work permit, DJ wordy will not now be playing at freaky dancing this Saturday, and will instead be playing at freaky dancing in april.

GOOD NEWS
Freaky dancing will still be going ahead with a cheaper entry price.

The techno line up will now take over the main room, with Heavyweight now bringing the dubstep into the bigger room 2 on a full 10k turbosound rig, either side of The Guessmen's full live set, and all other artists still playing but across 3 rooms rather than 4.

We're sorry to lose DJ Wordy from the line up, but hope you'll agree that this is still a pretty mint line up, and should still be a wicked party.

Might try and get down after Freaky Dancing... wouldn't put any money on it though.

Had a cracking night for my first ever Freaky Dancing - Thought James Smith was good

Shame I had to leave at 2am but was rather drunk and had work at 6am

Any plans on getting DJ Murphy back in toon?

I have missed him the last two, once being in Ibiza and the other not knowing who he was and leaving the night early

Last time Murphy played there was about 50 people in the Ballrooms, even if your not into Techno he is a must simply for the WOW factor, never seen anyone like him in my life.

Octopus springs to mind.

Thanks

Tried to not play too hard but the tempation to play loads of new hard techno stuff took hold of me.


Enjoyed myself playing shame about wordy getting reschuduled to april.


Slams on at the end of this month so that should make up for it.

Ive not really been to many techno nights but was quite impressed with the sets i did stick around for

Deffo try and get to the next one if im not working

Do you record many of your sets? or do you have any mixes online

Will try to get one sorted very soon out as i need to do a hard techno industrial mix for backlash so will let you know when i upload one or send you a cd,

Cheers for the comments nice to know people enjoyed what i played.

I play that style and harder as Dj Disorder and at backlash if you ever fancy a more hardcore night out.

Yeah that would be wicked!!! im taking the below pic is you?

Ive always fancied Backlash!! il keep an eye on the events page for the next one

you chose a bad one for your first freaky dancing, but I'm glad you enjoyed it... come down to one when we're back on form and not having dj cancellations and confusion meaning there weren't really enough people there to have a proper rave - if you enjoyed last night, you'll fucking love it when we're on form

apologies to anyone who came down and was dissapointed, I've no idea where everyone was, I guess the wordy cancellation hit us harder than I'd expected. We ended up only doing the 2 rooms as there was no point opening the 3rd room. There seemed to be a fair few for the guessmen and ignition technician at the end, but it was pretty empty early on.

We will be fully back on form for the Slam gig at the end of the month at the cosmic
