Am up bright and early...like since 5am :( For the Party Monster fans James St. James did release another book about two years back called 'Freak Show' <- I'll double check the title. And if you thin his writing style is fun, you should meet him in person. I also have some left over autographed (signed by James and Keoki) posters and pics from the 07 Party Monster show I did, so if any one on here is a HUGE fan of the movie, let me know and I'll see if I can dig you up treat :) Originally Posted By MICKOS

Now I'm not claiming any massive personal audience (one can hope though for the future)...but they are unbelievably devoted and a lot of fun (and I can budget my events based on my personal draw). I attribute a lot of it to the decline of Gothic clubs in this country and that I gear my music and events towards the graver culture giving a lot of displaced goths a comfortable home that offers them a mix of dance music rather than the straight industrial most clubs here have become. It also appeals to the veteran Rave crowd that appreciates the darker styles. Plus unlike a lot of performers, myself and my crew place a lot of importance on reaching out to other areas and scenes as well as keeping up with our regular attendees. It's a lot of work and I answer 100+ messages a day, but in the end it's well worth it. A lot of our fans have become our friends as well. In Pittsburgh where I live we lost an alternative night that ran for 13 years. It was 'gothic' in nature but incorporated other EDM styles as well and was the place to go for any one in alternative culture. This left a lot of people with out anything to do on their Saturdays...so after the club closed in December of 08 my crew and I got to work on trying to rebuild a scene. Something combining Goth Culture, Club Kid Culture, and full out performances to go with the music/Dj sets. ttyl xoxo Cy Update » DjCy-Fi wrote on Wed Nov 11, 2009 @ 8:29am PS - here people at least claim they care about the headliners...even if they don't have a clue who hey are. It's kind of funny.
Most headliners aren't worth the $$ you have to spend on them either, a few of them are worth far more. When I do an event I keep my performance cost low, which keeps tickets low and helps promoters...as I said I do this because I love it. A lot of my events I are also to help out new promoters. One I did in South Carolina I walked the promoter through the entire process. The show was awesome (a couple cars full of kids drove up to Cleveland for BloodFeast) and they're looking to have me back for New Years :) If ind that the scene in the US is very difficult on new promoters, I had to fight for everything I did in my first year...I feel that even if the person my be potential competition in the future, I'd rather help them get started and have the later challenge than let them fail due to lack of knowledge...scenes need new blood and new ideas. |

On your sixth track, you'll get kicked off the decks and the promoter (who is usually the resident dj) will then politely play some NIN and you'll be banned from playing Montreal again End |

 Coolness: 93500 | We need a new model for the clubs. WUts ur residency like BLisss...do you think ur taking a paycut (realitive to what you might get elsewhere) for the right to do ur own thing? For instance, if you were a resident at one of these shitty clubs, would they pay you more b/c you would have to accept all the requests? |

Oh hun trust me...I'm no stranger to the promotions/planning part of shows, been doing it a lot longer thank Djing. lulz In regards to the industrial scene - Already got their patrons interest on VampireFreaks, promoters in Montreal are a little harder to work with...mainly because none of them check their messages regularly. And their very limited playlists is exactly why I've had so much success in the US gothic scene...people are sick of going to the same club and listening to the same shit. Most go out of tradition, not love...my music gives them a completely different experience. And if you listened to my mix you'll find a remix of 'Hand That Feeds' Haven't run into a hate for the whole DJ concept...maybe I'm doing things a bit differently? I have gotten well over 1000 adds from the Montreal area on MySpace in the past 2 weeks...it's ll about adding a personal touch :) Did you even listen to my mix...or are you just talking blind at this point? Seriously if you are going to give me advice I'd rather you actually acquaint yourself with what I do before trying to piss on it. What's funny is we have a Bliss over here...you're a lot like him actually... But here...let's see what Goth kids think of my music... This is what I do to Goth Clubs...Cincinnati Ohio - Church - HUGE turn out - I'm certainly not playing well anything goth... Infected Mushroom - Becoming Insane <br><a href="http://vampirefreaks.com/playvideo?v=104302">Dancefloor during my set @ American gothic</a><br> Paranormal Attack - The Pill <br><a href="http://vampirefreaks.com/playvideo?v=104301">Dj Cy-fi; Triptych & Dancing Girls @ American Gothic</a><br> Really small venue...have them rocking out to Skazi - Satisfaction <br><a href="http://vampirefreaks.com/playvideo?v=79472">DJ Cy-Fi @ The Chamber 2</a><br> And this one just looks cool...plus there's some smooth transitions and a SICK venue (just stage shot) <br><a href="http://vampirefreaks.com/playvideo?v=104292">Dj Cy-Fi Spinning & Triptych Grinding</a><br> LAME - this doesn't like html for movies!!! Would have looked much cooler if you didn't have to go to them |

 Coolness: 158775 | Never mind Bliss, he pulls off the kinda rant you did as first post on a regular basis 
I'll speak for myself, but I know I'm not the only one thinking it: it's not that Montreal hates DJs, we love 'em as much as the next city. What we tend to hate here, is DJ ego 
We're just more down to earth here, I guess. Doesn't mean there's no room for what you might be offering, Cy. Blisss consistently gets gigs at great events, and makes the crowd move. I'll give a listen to your stuff soon. In the meantime, you still might wanna check out Kinetik next May, I'm sure you'd fit right in. Trust me, I know doctors. |

Trust me, I know doctors. lol...much like the Bliss we have here: He's a decent Dj with good sets and a nice following, but he can be bit of a dick otherwise. We just accept that about him and tease him when he gets to bad. I'm not much one for ego unless I'm presented with it, then I turn it into a pissing contest which normally ends in me running around with something phallic shaped yelling "Mine's Bigger...you wanna suck it?? $5 make you holler!" I'm confident in what I do, but arrogance isn't my thing...unless I'm messing with some one :P (see above). I think I've been speaking with some one about that party...not sure. Have met a lot of people interested in what I do for future events. Let me know what you think about it. It's a wide variety made to show case my rave style and goth style at once...was really hard to make fit on one CD One thing Bliss is wrong about - goths do care about DJ ability...they love some one that can actually mix their style of music into a more dance driven set. |

| Coolness: 158775 | Bah, what Blisss might've been referring to was the "goth ego", actually. Lotsa arrogant posers everywhere, but I'll say it's a bit more rampant in THAT particular scene/genre. My humble (and evidently subjective) opinion anyway.

Careful if you do that here, you're sure to end up having takers on that offer. Mwahaha. |
