I forgot this place existed!!!

Ufot-Where the fuck am I again?

I think people have a right to be upset about how the "system" works and how the government's either unwilling to re-examine the process or simply chooses to ignore the peoples outcries. Whether this will change anything or start a revolution of sorts has yet to be seen, either way, we were never promised a fair world in the first place, were we...

Ufot-EAT THE RICH

I became obsessed, then I became more obsessed... guess what, I'm still pretty obsessed... that's pretty much it... also, it feels great to make people dance and enjoy themselves...

Ufot-"CAUSE YOU CAN'T, YOU WON'T AND YA DON'T STOP"

So without further adieu, the long awaited volume two of Sunny Streets, a bit more oomf, a lot more sun and some sweet urban funk... house heads get on this!!!!

Ufright-there's a disturbance in this thread... I haven't felt it since...

"Mais peut-etre que comme dit milton on devrait laisser tomber le flambeau?
Parce que Milton clark, fuck off, j'ai vraiment pas le feeling que j'ai laissé tombé le flambeau."

First of all, I didn't point fingers, but on the subject, I have for some years, felt somewhat guilty of dropping the torch, so don't blame yourself. When I started throwing events with my friends more than a decade ago, I did so with a lot of hopes, naivety and love. We made mistakes, we learned, we grew. What I didn't do properly was spread the knowledge I gained from my years as a promoter. Instead, I chose to focus on my music with the blind faith that the younger kids would pick up where I left off. I would never venture as far as to say that no one did so successfully, obviously some did, but it became obvious to me as the years went on that the quality in general and organization just wasn't the same.

I can't tell any of you what makes a successful party, nor can I tell you what direction you should venture to take, that's entirely up to you. What I can tell you is that if you throw a party with the intension of rocking the kids in this city and promoting a music you love and believe in, then you are doing it for all of the right reasons and it will be a success even if you lose money. If you throw a party to make money, I don't think you aren't doing it right and your party will probably have sucky vibes. It should never be about the money, EVER. Yet, on the subject of money, I think it is important to be REALISTIC, as in, REALLY REALISTIC. It's important to plot out best and worst case scenarios, budget accordingly, wrap your plan around that budget firmly, do the math, check the numbers, check the numbers a second time then have someone else check the numbers. Why is this step important if you aren't throwing it because of the money you ask? Because, if you budget yourself properly and formulate a plan around that budget, you will :

a)probably not lose money.
b)lose way less money than you would without a well balanced budget.

This is not a certainty, but in my experience, it really-really helps. Furthermore, KNOW YOUR STRENGTHS, if you aren't good at budgeting, find a friend that is, ask for help. Don't know how to deal with permits or the city, ask a friend, ask for help. You need people to help when throwing events, people to count on, a network of people with different strengths for different tasks. Finally, respect your commitments to people, if you promise a price to a dj, pay it(personally I would pay even if there was a loss), if you cannot pay it cause the party made you completely broke, find some alternative that you can both agree upon as compensation. Don't ask or expect dj's or live acts to play for free or booze, it's unkind and disrespectful. Artists will never ask you to formally understand the time and money and dedication involved their honing their craft, but don't make it seem worthless. Make standard local rates part of your budget and work from there, let them know they have value when you book them and act accordingly when the event is done.

Anyways... I could keep suggesting stuff, but this is just what I know, just how I feel. I'm not a promoter anymore and I know things in this city have changed like a lot, but I think the fundamentals are still the same. A scene is only as healthy as it's biggest/brightest contributers, I can't stress that enough. Rather than bitch about each other, it'd be nice to see you work together, because if you did, who knows, raves might become accountable again some day, and maybe promoting would make sense again, maybe people would get paid, maybe more kids would come... just my opinion...


Ufot-we are all cogs in the wheel that is our reality

I remember there was a time when dj's got paid proper, and promoters made enough money to keep throwing parties... guess they were just doing it right back then...

Ufot-sometimes, the torch gets dropped, sometimes it gets thrown in the garbage.

and thought I realize my comment isn't very constructive, I just think this whole 20$ business is pathetic, really pathetic. We used to pay LOCAL DJS a bare minimum of 100-120$ for a 1.5hrs set at a rave, how is it that in less than 10 years that rate has gone down?

I just blocked and reported you! :D

Ufot-jokes, sometimes they are just jokes...

personally, I feel the best hangover remedy is quite simple... start drinking again. On days when it's bad, I only feel normal once I have a couple of years, as goes the vicious cycle of fun...

Ufot-mmmm, beer

CHOCOLATE WIN!!!!

Ufot-vanilla is dandy, but chocolate be handy

Sir! I received your message during the holidays but was alas too aloof and or busy to make heads or tails of it... They are not in my possession, as last remarked wence we last spoke of this matter. I will again inquire with my ex, but as we are not on the best of terms, said response may linger deafly... this was over 2 years ago Alex, for shame.

Ufot-nothing lasts forever

history.will.be.made!

Ufot-epic things

Number 63 for the record, this mix is an awesomely sweet blend of house, tech house and minimal, enjoy the fullness of getting the feel for the bricks. Dedicated to all of the street youth in London!~

Possibly my last mix for 2010, I give you digital perversion, a blend of house, techno, trance and all things twisted!!! Get your perversion on!

Ufot-we are all perverted sometimes

Moebius, I kindof totally disagree with you on the mixing point, you don't have to rely on synch to mix for you in traktor, it's an OPTION. And as far as itunes doing the same job, that's just silly, itunes is like fisher price dude, it in no way can be compared to traktor other than the fact that both programs play mp3s...

Furthermore, the Audio 8 external sound card is superior to the serrato box IMO, I've owned both, but if you don't trust my judgement or knowledge, you can always look up what the industry leading dj's and producers say... you can do a lot more with the audio 8 then you can with the serrato box...

Finally, performance isn't just mixing, it's now a level up, so if you start combining loops, samples and efx, you're performing at a different level, in some senses, you aren't just mixing, you're actually live remixing...

Ufot-we are what we use

Moebius, I kindof totally disagree with you on the mixing point, you don't have to rely on synch to mix for you in traktor, it's an OPTION

ya... personally I think this idea is trite and way played out, but I'd be interested if it had a twist, like all guys have to dress up like girls and vice versa, or you could stun folks by doing tasteless and dated wet t-shirt stuff.... jello wrestling? maybe make the guys wear aprons? iron clothes? sweep? gender/roll reversal?

I've never cared about the sex of a dj, all that's ever mattered were the skillz and the sound, through frankly, the whole special treatment thing I think did more harm than good, but wtv, in a man's world, that's just how the cookie crumbles, right ladies?

Ufot-yawn, is it time to sleep yet?

I could rewire brains with morning trance, but it wouldn't be psy...

Ufot-dinos were babies once

call 1-800-DIAL-COLLECT!!!!!! BRAP!!!!

UFot=we're sorry, the number you have dialected is too kool for your mom!

Personally, I've owned both and think Traktor is the absolute bomb! But I guess it really depends on what you wana do, I'm addicted to sampling, looping and using a lot of fx, I also use a midi controller, so Traktor is my total choice. If you wana emulate being a vinyl dj, and want to keep things simple, Serato is gets the job done.

Ufot-I plow my musical fields on a daily basis

So this is my 60th mix, and it's dedicated to people who are coming home from a party, as in, are feeling shaky, feeling

Ufot-we won't die, we just multiply

No offence dude, but if you've never heard of an Irish car bomb, I have a hard time believing ya didn't get drunk off of 12 beers lad...

Just saying...

Ufot-erm, yap...

being able to drink a 12 without getting drunk or buzzed normally means you're tolerance for alcohol is at a high point, essentially meaning you drink too much or too often. It is at this precise moment where you should consider one of the two following options:

1. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!!! Cause though liver transplants are possible, they are not cheap and can have permanent side effects on your life, such as cutting out the possibility of conducting said favorite activity! (ie. drinking)

2. SWITCH TO BOOZE YOU PUSSY!!! Once beer no longer has the magic, it's time to step up your game and take it to the next obvious level, hard liquor. Rum, whiskey, scotch, gin, vodka... don't be shy, find a new love, you know your love for beer will never fade away, like a jealous lover, it'll be back before you know it, so just experiment in the hopes of achieving drunken bliss.

Also, for those of you whom this anecdotal response angers or for those of you who actually think they may have a drinking problem, there's always :

Ufot-remember kids, sometimes it's better to quit while you can; for everything else in life, there's abuse...

Adam X is playing January 1rst 2011 at circus :(
If it was stereo I would be way less indecisive...

Ufot-wormhole!!!

So this is a two part mix series I just recorded, dedicated to new and old sounds from the world of techno. The first part is a downtempo(126bpm) experimental style, the second part is just a pounding techno adventure(130bpm)... Enjoy

Ufot-bring that bleep back!

WTF???

Cutter, first of all, take a chill pill. Second of all, the syntax was a joke... Third of all, you can say things like "IMO Analogue is far superior to digital", but that still won't change the fact that Technics are stopping production... Fourthly, you are comparing one media mode to a completely different one, complete fail there, sound vs video???

And the new metal joke was meant in the form of a new conduit for sound signals... geez... relax ta noune...

Ufot-king of opinions online, are the same offline too...pssshhhh...

SYNTAX ERROR!!!!

Dude, I can totally compare them because they are both usable methods for dj's... I wasn't talking about sound quality, I wasn't opening a debate here, I was comparing two methods used by DJ's... And as far as I'm concerned, unless some new rare metal is discovered, I'm pretty sure that Analogue has been pushed to its limit(though I'm sure you'll try to prove that statement wrong)


@ Wally : I'm pretty sure parts will be available for a long time to come and the aftermarket most likely will be around till we stop breathing, TT's are tanks with tons of spare parts ;)

Ufot-LETS COMMENT FOR THE HECK OF IT

Could be that the buffer is too low, could be that there isn't enough memory available for the tracking... could be a loose connection...

Ufot-that's about it
