| Coolness: 144240 | Apperently the promoters had alot of problems.
Oh, read this people. This is funny. Man, I'd never book Lalla again after this if I was them. BOOYAH! SOURCE OF SUCK Our weekend began with frantic packing Friday evening after work: camping gear, sleeping bags, enough food to keep us alive for three days, vinyl, a change of clothes, a lot of cigarettes. Last-minute carpooling details confirmed that only four of us would have to squeeze into the 10-year-old Chevrolet Cavalier for the four-hour drive to Nowhere, Quebec. This was good news because, after cramming all the essentials into the vehicle, there was barely enough room for us to perform the lung contractions necessary for breathing. As expected, the combination of online directions and driving skills proved inadequate, and we lost our way, adding to our immense travelling time. The second ill omen was the fog. Travelling deep into Never-Heard-Of-It, Quebec, rural "highways" became treacherous as we were reduced to a walking-speed pace, high beams and hazard lights, clinging to a blurred vision of the roadside's white line. After a horrific encounter with roadkill of the highest degree, passenger gagging ensued and it was necessary to pull over briefly to quiet our nerves. It was three o'clock in the morning by the time we turned onto the rustic mule path that would take us to our final destination. No, this was not some idyllic Eden, some forgotten patch of virgin forest: This was a thoughtfully landscaped tactical paintball combat zone, replete with rusty junkers and school buses abandoned in the woods, a pseudo-Western ghost town, and enough parking for, um, nobody. Security, when visible, proved to be entirely moronic, and we entered the grounds without fanfare or the anticipated monetary contribution. Wandering through the muddy debris for what seemed like an eternity, we finally found a suitably shaded area to pitch our tent, where the thundering eternal train wreck of three stages belching out Goa, techno and jungle in a cacophony of beatless electronica was reduced to a muted burp. It was Apocalypse Now, and I had finally discovered Kurtz's camp. The sun came up, we cooked some sausages and drifted into a fitful slumber for a few hours, dreams infiltrated by pounding techno. Thankfully, due to problems with generators, the music continued to cut in and out incessantly. How ironic that at an event called Source of Light we would spend our entire weekend looking for just that. Excluding the tiny green and red blinkers of mixers and amplifiers, there was exactly one light on the entire grounds, so we spent the dark hours ready to kill for illumination (or a double-A battery). Highlights included seeing those weird bugs that glow at night [Ed.'s note: You mean fireflies. Or perhaps the Hilton sisters], stepping on a paintball bullet and having yellow juice squirt onto my leg, watching the shuttle bus being pulled out of a ditch by a tractor, and not needing to take a dump. One partygoer succinctly described the adventure as a "source of crap, source of mud, source of fucking mosquitoes, source of suck, source of annoying music that never stops, source of hippies, source of topless lady." Whatever happened to staging the soundtrack to urban decadence within the comforting walls of abandoned warehouses, nestled deep in the neglected terrain of our city's decrepit industrial areas? OOO Montreal's longest-running d'n'b soiree welcomes Vancouver's Psidream, a.k.a. Jeff Malcolm, DJ and producer of tracks on Breakbeat Science, Nerve, Killahertz and more, July 11. Join burfday boy Corey K and residents Stabba, Krinjah and MC Y at Blue Dog ($5). Saturday's Summerbreeze In Da Jungle, fourth anniversary of the Kracked Knuckles Crew, welcomes local selectahs Sase One, Stalker, Krinjah, Mayday and Jah Style, Ottawa's KGB Kid and T-O's Saigon, alongside IDJ insiders The Nitrous, Galaksy, Axionfigga, Host One, Jada and, back from retirement, Accomplice (info: 401-6774; $10 in advance). On the club circuit, premium psytek DJs Rickam, Tenzin and Yann join forces for Vortex Session 2.0 on July 12 in anticipation of the outdoor bash Eclipse, July 25-27 (Vortex Session is at Cafe Vortex, 3880 Hochelaga; $3). Montreal techno don Nivoc, chieftain of the Ascend/Default/Consigned label triumvirate, resides at the newly founded Sunkissed Sundays, running every Sunday afternoon in July (at Sugar, no cover, 4-9 p.m.). Nivoc plays with his buddy Pascal at this casual, tech-house and electro affair. Teknival is this weekend's three-day outdoor fiasco, unfolding somewhere in rural Ontario, and it's free! Included amongst hundreds of performers are Montrealers Naw, Black Market and the ALT crew (info: 514-409-2411; [ freetekno.toronto.on.ca ] Don't sleep! Literally. ----------------------------------------- |

| Coolness: 471815 | Any source of light comes from inside hey ...
If you look outside yourself to find it you'll look for long ... Reminded me of that CERCLE DE FEU party we did 2 years ago ... GHETTO -friemdly Anyways yeah you had to DECIDE to create oneself a good time to have one., which is what i did ... I hear everyone's complains thought, but ASAPH did everything he could , he lost a lot of money , he was fucked by the weather and so on ... The goa spot seemed like a bunch of magicians celebrating in the mud ; wicked vibe ... C.P.U. and Biodegradable's live sets and dj tag was off the hook ! Playing outdoor was so inspiring , i had a lot of fun ... Big up Pi 67 , Accomplice, The Nitrous and Axionfigga for rockin' the stars ... |

| Coolness: 144240 | Okay, anyone sensible person wouldn't blame Asaph for the weather. That's not what we're trying to say here, it's just unlucky I guess.
And yeah Seb, you can have Sources of light outside. Shit at OM, there was a plenty. I had no trouble walking around. Anyways, I feel bad that peeps wasted their money driving there and not even playing. Mike could've played even if Amalgam would've not paged him AFTER we had left, he should've made his mind up on time. |

| Coolness: 182540 | i dunno it seems to me if your asked to play at a party and you agree to it shouldnt you at least make the effort of going!!!??? |
| Good [+1]Toggle ReplyLink» da_instagatah replied on Thu Jul 10, 2003 @ 11:31am |
| Coolness: 144240 | Uh, no shit.
But it seems to me that if you ask someone to play at your party you should at least make an effort to let them play. There's tons that could've been done. And even if there's ABSOLUTELY no way possible, you should pay their gas. At least. OR have enough respect to find you and tell you personally that you can't play, or send an e-mail apologizing. And if you don't, someones gonna slag your party in a weekly free newspaper. Don't fuck with the media. |

| Coolness: 121045 | it was a nice try tho
and i had a good time many things could have been better but we re all still alive so that should be ok (electrocutions, driving 3 hrs without sleep...) also barely anyone tries to make these events happen so i give props for effort... as the end of steves article points out, it would be much better if montreal could host some warehouse larger underground events but even lofts are getting busted nowadays so theres not many options left... cercle de feu was hype! |

 Coolness: 57200 | CPU was alright, too short in my opinion... i was expecting more
Biodegradable: well what can i say... i basically had the entire set in my bag, but still good none the less.... excpect for the fact that 5 tracks were played from the same album, and 2 of them were played right after the other (same order as on the cd) still good, but not very impressed: oh, and by the way... Eclipse is on the 26-27th of July, not the 25-27th |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA i like the article, it made me laugh at fond memories of the weekend but still, all things considered, i had a blast on saturday night listening to the jungle and dancing under the stars i think i like my outdoor parties in small doses though or close enough to home that i can escape them the moment i feel like it. i was really ready to kill someone after waiting four hours for the bus.....i was starting to think that i'd never get home |
