 Coolness: 63920 | first off, a big thanks to all the people who represented in the middle of a snowstorm, in the freezing cold. there was a moment in the night when i looked around and saw nothing but smiling faces and dancing tooshes and you know what, all the stress was suddenly worth it. in a world where nothing has permanence, it's the things like that that remind me that there are things worth fighting to keep. the underground will always have my heart and i'll bust my ass and keep doing whatever i can to see it survive.
next up, i didn't get to hear much of the sets but what i did, shit yo, big ups to the djs. uko, you got more energy than an energizer bunny man insomniak, what what! he's got that track! dude, always a pleasure to hear you spin static, i wish i coulda heard the whole thing cuz you're the bomb phil atio, booty on mistah lady killah, hello packed dance floor sebastien prelard, fucking crazy skills man, awesome set and sarcastic, total respect. i don't even know what to say i only got the chance to hear bits and pieces of the djs in the idj room so i can't really give an in depth review but i can say that the dance floor was rocking and you guys never dissappoint, klute is going to be off the hook. it was a crazy weekend |

 Coolness: 145215 | well this is it, from your main basman on the inside, so let's make some noize. Last few days having been really hard, i'm a little frayed near the edges but i will try to tell the story of this sorid tale of sadness, beauty, poetry art and truth.
here is the breakdown of events as they unfolded to me the last few day leading up to the party were really stressfull, this was really all very last minute in the sense that we all had alot of shit to do in terms of this time of year and just real life. I got to say man never again to parties in the freezing winter it was just to fucking cold to lug things around the city in these conditions, man-o-man the roads were bad saturday night. Despite that when the party finally did started i couldn't help thinking that i thought it was really cool how it was snowing like crazy outside but we were all nice and comfortable inside this place. People actually arrived early props to you guys (you know who you are) I felt like we started off kinda slow but we just progressivly gathered steam as the night went on. I really liked how we structured the play order for the performers in our room, we started off with really chill hip hop, which then mutated into funky/breaks and stuff. At two the bootay (tek-ghetto-hard-house-wtv the fuck you want to call.) kicked into high gear and there was no looking back. The second that first bootay plate hit the deck the crazy drunken ghetto sluts were stuck in front of the dj booth like flys on shit. That’s when the party really heated up for me. The lay out was fantastic we set that place up so perfect. Sharon you are so right with your discription, it was kinda like a cottage or a skying lodge but in the middle of the hood. Everything was working out really well through the morning, I just loved every moment of it we did the lay out and the look even better than dems da breaks, we just tweaked everything so that it was even doper than last time. I really liked the link up between the two types of music, mad nice match together. I guess the thing to remember with that is that if your gonna bother to do the whole two room deal, make them different musics, like don't put two really alike styles of music in different rooms , the average person who likes to party don't know the difference between minimal hard tekno and funky old school hard techno, or like between dance hall/ragga and jungle/drum and base, if they are too much the same people get bored and start wanting to leave early. Everything looked good in terms of finnace was good up until like 5:30 in the morning when i squared up with the owner of the place, he knida fucked us over a bit right there because we were supposed to give him a cut of the door but he said right then and there his cut was on tickets and i'm sure he also counted some of the the guest lists, dick, this was not what i negotiated or at least what i understood to be the agreement. i specifically told the owner before hand that i couldn't do this if the price for rental was so fucking high like it is at this place, like a thousand+deposit for the spot to me is just brutal, and i just don't have that kind of loose change kicking around. but the dude said don't worry about it , "you know we can work sopmething, besides i just want you guys to come and play you music and put on a good show, he said he liked our music best of all the events at his place so far, (good taste for such a sleezbag he seemed to like (at dems) marty mcfly, mana and arok but that neither nor there) I was so naive i just thought that i finally found someone who was cool and would just be down to let me make some money so i could put on some dope events with crazy guests and out of townaz, i guess thats just me i believe in the good in people. So after i finished paying the dude i cut the security and collected all the cash from the door, i went to the bar to see what was up in there, i went behind the bar and saw that we had tons of beer and still some liquor to sell i told Dani to empty the cash in the bins she took all the big bills out from there and she left the change and small bills inside(what a stupid mistake on our part from now on NO CASH IN FUCKING BILL FORM behind the bar ever in fact i'm more then convinced that you should be carting as much cash out of the place an to bank accounts to protect every motherfucking cent of our hard earned capital. I was just getting ready to play my set after Lalla, i was literally walking to the decks to get on it was like 5:58 i was going to the bathroom to take a piss and to my girl friend about what we were gonna do after the party (besides fucking, that is) as i'm walking to the bathroom i see, down this long empty dark corridor, flash lights walking towards me, my heads turning as i'm walking and just as i get to the bath room i can just see the porkchops climbing over the police tape that the owner put up to keep people out of there. I bolt out across the corridor it to the room with the bar as i'm running and i can see in the corner of my eyes the cops following behind i jump turn in the air and my ass lands on the bar and i start scream "go go go" i'm trying to reach the stack of fives thats in the bin but it's just out of my reach i jump off the bar so i can get closer and i look up and there is a cop standing right in front of me looking down at me. it's 6:01 and mayhem has broken out, the porkchops are behind the bar and all over us like a cheap suit. they start touching the money like it's child porn or something and they can sick from touching it. I see my girlfriend standing in the middle of the room with a horrified look on her face, i ran to her and we joined arms. The world started to spin as we turned around and looked at the situation unfolding in front of us. It was fucking chaos, the entire the time the owner is on the other side of the room and the porkchops are between me and him. Benji bumps into me and Anny, while we are standing like that he looks me strait in the eyes, with this crazy look in his eyes like he seen judgement day and says "this guy is fucking crazy" and he points at the owner. The owner after telling me a million times what to do if the authorities show, which is direct them to him so he can tell them what the deal (ie that this is some jack off arts vernisage thing for a local artist or some bullshit like that) instead of doing what he's supposed to do the owner starts selling me up the river, he's talk about contracts and waiving the paper in front of them. The copps kill the music in both rooms but not before i could get to the decks in my room and stick on on record (dj junk the wu tang cream remixes) i tossed the case (which had all kinds of pictures of naked chicks on it, in to the crowd, i think this somg should the official track you have to play if your party gets busted, i don't know why but i just thought we were gonna make a stand because it's such a good track. The owner came in killed the music and told us it was time to go and to get the fuck out, we barely had time to get our record bags and coats before they fucking herded us out like cows, after an extended period of me flipping out at the copps and yelling to them about how they know nothing about art and culture. I finally got out of there with my shit and my peoples, but not before they took down my name and address and phone number and made me show identification. Standing down stairs in front of the building i just watched the last twenty people stream out of the spot. It was snowing and we started to walk up to the corner we tried to get a cab but couldn't cause there was so many people trying to get them. we crossed the street and started walking to the Metro St henri along st jaques. It was there walking away from the dopest thing i ever put on in my life, with the snow come down in my face, with my record bag with the plates still staked in the order i wanted to play them in my unheard set, that knew my life would never be same after that moment, as we walked under the overpass a convoy of cop vans past us and as the porkchops said over the mega phone in french "A La Prochaine," and started laughing at us. much respect to the idj crew. thanks to all the performers, steve thank you for everything you did to help seb prelar your shit is dope, i hope you can play again for us some time. insomniac and static i salute you both, you crazie prarie kids lastly thanks to sharon who just makes my life easier by doing everything related to graphics and printing remember everyone, the truth is always stronger then the lie, why else would we do this, no body is gonna tell us what our culture is gonna be about except us you just can't buy publicity like this. |
