Element - Pad Song

This thread absolutely sucks!!! Delete this crap already!

Hmm well I'm not sure what time your partys start but im a afterhours clubber. The party doesn't usually get kickin' until about 1-2am in the morning. If I decide to arrive early its purely to socialize.. usually they boot us out at around 8am in the morning.. only few select DJ's will continue spinning past that time... but yeah I'd say my body is pretty wrecked after that many hours of dancing...

Damn fucking right I can party until 11am. As for the majority of the crowd? Fuck no they dont stay that late. Only the hardcore clubbers/ravers stay until the very end until they boot us out. Deep Dish spun till 10am at LoL. Do you really think this is the only forum I am on? You sure seem to get angry about such topics when comparing things. I am not here to bite off your head or to criticize Montreals scene, clubs, crowds and or anything else about Montreal. You seem to be taking offense to this debate when you are solely basing your experience on the one night you happened to go to Guv. Personally Guvs Anniv lineup this year doesnt even come close to comparing to Labour Of Love... but others would rightfully disagree because we all like different DJs more than others.

As for Ibiza, like I said I have never been there so don't put words in my mouth. I am simply reitterating other peoples experiences.
BTW who is Crazy Frog?

Ouch another sword in my side.. sterile crowd. Armin doesn't like playing in TO? LOLOL
Please enlighten me... where does he like playing most? Montreal? Vancouver? Where you there the last two times he played 4 -5 hour sets?

I don't give a sh1t if you've been to Guv before you CLEARLY haven't been when the entire complex was open and or a GOOD DJ(s) was playing. Labour Of Love probably had 10 000 people and because of this reason is where your bias lies. There are tones of those steroid freaks, ginos, and whatever else you don't like but thats only a small fraction when theres 10 000 people attending. If you can look past this then you can dance your ass off for a solid 12 hours straight to an amazing vibe. You prefer System, I don't. DnB is mainly played there, a genre im no fan of.

You are right that I have never been to Ibiza but others have and told me Guv rivals it. Maybe they're lying maybe they're not. We all have our biases.

Are they for PC? Do they cost an arm, leg and pint of blood? Where can I buy these cards? I do indeed want the best sound quality for recording but this is within reason.. I'm not rich ;)

An understatement to say the least to criticize our crowds. The fact of the matter is that a lot of parties that occur in MTL are indeed underground "raves" and NOT held in a club. This is the main difference between Toronto and MTL. We unfortunately don't have the luxury of having something like Black & Blue being hosted in a stadium (if I am correct) but to say that we don't know how to rock a dancefloor? Ouch

Until you've been to Guvernment/Koolhaus' biggest jams of the year, then you can't say sh1t. If you have been, then clearly you must have left early because it was "too packed". The regular saturday night events usually with 1 or 2 guest DJ's held in The Guvernment only are crazy as is with 3000+ bodies crammed into one room. You think they are standing around?

Some other decent clubs in the Toronto area are Republik, System and Viva but there is no doubt in my mind that the crowds at Guvy/Koolhaus rival those in Ibiza. Don't take my word for it though, its not really something you can explain to someone.. you need to go experience it for yourself.

My 2 Cents

W00T!!! I'm almost guaranteed I'll be attending this... Andy Moor is such an amazing producer to say the least

This party F@#$ING ROCKED!!!

Hardly advertising dood, simply stating what party I'll be at this Thanksgiving.

LOL did you see how much space I have? I could careless about the drivers, features and or anything in between. I'm only using it for recording and I want the BEST sound quality available.

"Victims, aren't we all?"

The Crow (R.I.P. Brandon Lee)

BBE - Seven Days A Week (Kai Tracid Remix)

Not talking about their Bio's.. could care less... even how the ranking system is a joke in its own sense... but hes got the most votes sooo ....

Mmmmmm Kai Tracid.. what are the Vinyls you have for this artist?

"Live act "... I get confused sometimes with these terms. Do you mean live act as in you are creating music on the spot or just spinning live?

and your entirely correct about this.. definately a legend and #1 DJ in Canada according to [ TheDJlist.com ]

Please.. read my post again I said I just haven't heard him spin before. Of course I know OF him :)

Frankie where you at you shoulda been on this thread long time ago :P

Haven't heard Preach before but personally I can't really stand Techno... even CC can be quite a bore but the last show I was at I missed his set.. someone ended up recording part of it and damn did I miss some magic... theres a HUGE DJ lineup at Guvy this Thanksgiving Weekend... I'm looking forward to Mr. Hawtin as well as I have never seen him b4.

Perfect. I spin primarily Progressive Trance with a side of Dark and Dirty Tribal/Progressive House..

Will msg you about a demomix...

I'll be attending Guvernment's 9 year anniversary in T.O. -- Mr. Carl Cox is on teh decks... now THATS Techno!!

Are you open to any progressive? :P

I love off the dark dirty tribal and progressive house.... but like I said I have a very selective taste in House... I'm all about the Prog Trance ;P

EH?


Wuzup all?! :)

BTW BeAtJuNkIe have you ever been to Guvernment in Toronto? Heard of Mark Oliver? He's been the resident DJ there for 9 years and still going strong. Every sat. Guv has a guest DJ but there will be some saturdays where Oliver will spin his legendary 9 hour solo sessions..

Also did you happen to check out my my mixe(s)? Interested in your feedback since your progessive trance is definately my style.

Niiiice! See I KNEW there had to be a huge house scene in MTL... I suppose its just more club based as is in Toronto. So the question is then, where are all you househeads hiding on this site :P

WE NEED MORE PROG HOUSE & TRANCE!!!

I was doing some research and it came down to either M-Audio or Soundblaster and I would have gone with M-Audio but Creatives new X-Fi cards are about the best a quality you will get at this current point in time. If it was a choice between their Audigy 2 series of cards and M-Audio I would have opted for M-Audio.

Here is a link to their newest cards:

[ www.soundblaster.com ]

Here is a closeup picture of the new card I will be getting:

[ images.soundblaster.com ]

It is great because it offers both RCA Analogue and SPDIF/Coaxial Digital so I have 3 options on what to use for recording.

Dogzilla - Without You (Dogzilla Dub)

Absolutely loving this track off

My two XP10 controllers also act as an external soundcard that hooks directly up to the mixer thru RCA... the Sound Blaster X-Fi offers the highest in sound quality with its new 24-bit Crystalizer and major software improvements.. this will be used so that I can record in both Digital or Analogue...

LMAO

Really?? I thought it was all about the Psytrance in MTL... Toronto goes nuts for good house DJ's... When Sasha, Digweed and Steve Lawler come to town people go nuts.. my taste for house is limited to a dark dirty tribal or progressive house...

I'm a n00bie here too :)

LOL well I'm from Toronto and the scene here is completely different than Montreal.

Damn what a buzz killl... how come you had to shutdown in the end? BTW what kind of trance do you mix? Psy/Prog/Hard?

Seems like there aren't many interested in House music in MTL.... theres a huge scene here in Toronto... ever been to Guvernment?

Hahaha thats the point.. shes eye candy so people won't be paying attention to her when shes mixing. I'd be tripping on my face trying to concentrate on dancing :P

So Psytrance is the favourite then or?

I'm glad someone likes Prog Trance 8^)
