in my dream last night i woke up in my bed and the wall was all wet and shit.., the paint was coming loose and starting to bubble with moisture.
then i realized it was raining, pouring outside! i went and looked around the house and all the walls were like dripping and bubbling with excess moisture, the house was almost sagging, soggy, all the wood infused with wet. i went back into my bedroom and realized that it was getting worse -quickly. it seemed like the whole ceiling was sagging towards the middle, like the apartment upstairs from me had become a lake or something.
i got scared and went down to see my landlord who lives in the basement apt. below me but like, his front door was gone, all the lights were on and there was a torrent of water flooding through his whole apartment, it was raining like the bejeesus outside and the water level in the basement apt. was8 feet high, almost to the ceiling. somewhere in there i assumed that my landlord was dead and had been washed away by the rain waters.
at that point i realized that my whole apt building was gonna get flooded and all my records would be ruined forever. i seem to remember thinking something about karma, and how this was my punishment for all the bad things i had done, but that it wasn't so bad, i will make it. is that all you got? then i guess i woke up somewhere in there.

...now it's raining outside and it's bringing the memory back

anyways i used to like posting my dreams on ravewave cause its the type of shit you always forget later in the day and for sure a week or two later, post yo' dreamz in the morning( or whenever you awake)

Jordan Dare @ Machine. Saturday June 12

a man who does not need an introduction.

what he said ^^

yeh, DJ Hype circa 1994, 96 WUZ THE SHIT !!! anytime you wanna flame the wobble, sign me up :)


Whenever people ask me who my favourite DJs of all time are I usually say something like Ben Sims, Algorithm, and of course myself heheh, and I've been writing in my bio for 8 years that I played alongside Algorithm -of course I had to book him at one of my nights to make this possible, and the conceited self-righteous ass that I am I also interviewed him at the time for the Hour.

I remember bringing in an extra deck to Bluedog the night that Jeff played at Tekstyle, we put it in front of him on the back of the metal grate/cage that covered the mixers and turntable, basically balanced over the dancefloor at Bluedog, so that he could mix with three decks. I could be wrong but I think I was DJing down the street at Saphir where Kirk6 did a night also every Thursday, so I was running back and forth all night. And I am definitely not mistaken in recalling that, at the end of the night, Jeff Algorithm had broken every record for most alcohol drunk by a performing artist, somehow running up a $90 bar tab (and that was at staff prices, 2$ a drink), wow! what a man!

here is the piece from Feb. 28, 2002 from The Hour

Thu. Mar. 7th: Internationally acclaimed producer/DJ Algorithm, creator of the acclaimed new Force-Lab studio-mixed CD Composure, appears at Bluedog’s Tekstyle Thursday. The busy artist, born Jeff Milligan, answered some of my questions before hopping on a flight.

Hour: Can you explain to the public exactly how "Composure" was created?
Algorithm: I'll try! I first mixed complimentary tracks on a pair of turntables and a standard 3-band mixer, then cut loops of different lengths out of each mix, and applied various EQ settings. I sampled individual instruments out of certain tracks, then started sequencing all of the mixed loops and individual instruments together and added effects. I also used other instruments from my arsenal and continued mixing down until I had an hour’s worth of combinations. I had over 8 Force-Lab artists playing at different times in the mix; by the end I had forgotten what instruments and loops belonged to which artists! Within the CD, I tried to create a sense of linearity and continuity out of static loops. I think it comes across.

Hour: Tell us your recording and touring plans for the spring? What’s scheduled for Revolver and Cynosure? (Jeff manages the two record labels)
Algorithm: In April I will be on tour in The United States, spanning NYC, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, etc. I then head to Europe again for a month long tour in May, and by the end of June, will be in Tokyo...We’re releasing Cynosure 0006, by Altitude, and Revolver Canada's 0006, by J. Hunsberger. Coming up on Revolver are releases by Tomas Jirku, Pan/Tone, Deadbeat and Akufen. New releases on Cynosure will include work by Tim Bones, Mike Shannon and a top secret remix project, coming out this summer!

Hour: You’ve recently based yourself in Montreal. Why did you choose to do this? What’s your reaction since moving from Toronto?
Algorithm: I moved to Montreal to work more closely with artists on Revolver Canada, Akufen and Deadbeat, and to work closely with Mutek. There is an emphasis placed on cultural development and preservation here, and I have a very high respect for that. Toronto is a city filled with banks. It's a financial centre. If you are a stockbroker, a lawyer or banker, Toronto’s where to live. I'm none of those things. Montreal is becoming very well known internationally for the sound that originates from this city. Labels like Force Inc., which moved here half a year ago, are keenly aware of the movement. There are a lot of eyes on Montreal right now.

"-Suppose someday you just plug in and go away and never come back? Eh?"
"-Ho, ho! Don't I wish! What do you think every Electrofreak dreams about? You're such an old fuddyduddy. And who sez it's a dream, huh? Maybe there is a Machine to take us away, take us completely, suck us out through the electrodes out of the skull 'n' into the Machine and live there forever with all the other souls it's got stored there. It could decide who it would suck out, and when. Dope never gave you immortality. You hadda come back, every time, into a dying hunk of smelly meat! But We can live forever, in a clean, honest, purified Electroworld." (T.Pynchon)

IZNOGOOD aka DJ IZ aka CHARLES IZ

Born in 1968 in Lebanon, while his underage friends were not yet allowed to see him at work, Charles started playing music at the early age of 13, in some of the country’s best parties and clubs before moving to Canada in the late 80’s to continue studies in medical school. Once enrolled in Sherbrooke University he applied for a job at the on-campus nightclub and within a mounth he became their star resident dj playing what later was defined as college music.
Faced with a hard choice at an early age, he finally quit his studies (whitout telling his parents) to invested all his time in his first love: music and making people dance. Until 1997 when he decided to move back to Lebanon and bring along his wide knowledge of music and a huge record collection he had spent most of his days working at TABOO records alongside the likes of Robert Ouimet and Robert De La Gaulthier, one of the first stores specializing in electronic music in Montreal, as well as working for one of montreal’s first underground music magazines (UPFRONT) with partner-in-crime Noji M’zilikazi; as co-founder and journalist over a period of two to three years, his interviewed subjects would range from Crystal Waters to Christ Izaac, all this while hosting different events at different clubs in montreal’s evolving nightlife.
The 2 years he spent in Lebanon were invested in running and promoting 104.4 (blue fm). Wich he quickliy transformed into the country’s first and still only alternative music station by introducing the country to the likes of the Offspring, Rage against the machine, White zombie and of course Nine inch nails. Never making any compromises when it comes to music, Charles insisted on including bands like Metallica, Hole and Nirvana in his playlist wich caused the station’s shutting-down under the lebanese government’s orders.
Once Back in Montreal, his love for electronic music made him one of the hardest working people in what later became known as a rave scene. Most people were shocked at his choice of a dj name and some lacking any sense of humour really thought that he was called Iznogood because he was not a good dj. This pushed him to play better and harder than the others and years later thousands of screaming ravers and clubers helped him prove them all wrong. Iznogood, a name actually taken from the french comic books by the same name became the wake-up call for any event taking place in Montreal.
Evolving like all other dj’s at the time from tape-decks to turntables, this self-taught mixing machine quickly defined his own musical style and his own unique mixing technique. Playing at acid parties, house parties, clubs, afterhours and raves, he quickly turned Iznogood into a houshold name. Iz was appointed dj number 1 in Montreal by the media on several occasions. Closing more events than we can list, playing in different raves on the same night as well as playing in different rooms in the same party. In some of these events Iz was accompanied by bands, singer or solo accoustic musicians and performers along with live video projections and live painting performances. Also included in his latest activities were managing clubs and organizing fundraising events to raise money for breakfast for children in primary schools in Quebec.
Since a lot of promoters seems difficult to understand that we can master several musical styles, he has been working under the names DEEJAYIZ for trance, electro and techno, EVIL IZ for hardcore, frenchcore and break-core while as CHARLES IZ he plays funky house, disco grooves and drum’n’bass and also DOOGONZI for psychedelic.
During this period, as if all this was not enough, with the help and under the guidance of dj’s and musician friends from around the globe, Charles opened his own record store (XTC records, on Mount-Royal street) over a period of over 5 years he imported records of all kind ranging from trip hop to noize and hardcore while sponsoring shows in his favorite city with his favorites like of The Horrorist (Things to come records.), Miro and Marc Acardipane (Aca records), The industrial strength sound as well as the early gabber movement.
Co-founding member of the POPPSICLE KREW and his own label DISCPHUNKTIONNAL RECORDS as well as being proudly part of the Kannibalz Kollective (Quebec city) and IMX RECORDS, Iz has released over 75 non-official discs all distributed from hand to hand throughout the world.
In the summer of 2000 during the electronic music festival Arrival 4, Charles, under the name Iznogood was set on creating the first ever Guinness world record for the longuest dj set, playing for over 56 hours non stop (played more than 2 000 records) and raising money for a local drug rehabilitation center. After this gig Iz was approached several times by manufacturers to test the reliability of dj equipment and demonstrations in stores.
Charles took the time to observe and imul the biggest names in music and dj culture, able to sample the best of each techniques of his favorite, he created a unique style that can at both go to the minimum purity of sound and the organized cacophony of the hardcore style while incorporating styles emerging of the electronic music.
Charles took a few years back to learn more thorough software creation, manipulation and sound composition by computer like Sony Acid, Sony Found Forge, Fruity Loops and Ableton. He developed a working method which is to include several samples to speak clearly through the music, up to tell a story (musical story) from cuttings on a theme or specific topic, adding the more layers possible to give the intensity and depth when listening. With the software, Iz explores three-dimensional sound (surround sound) and drives further the sensory experience through music. This passion for expression through music and images brought him to focus on art video, short film, to scriptwriting and vj project development. Since then, he is masterized somes composition software and digital images and video applications for VJ performance, such as Adobe Photoshop, Arkaos, Sony Vegas and many others.
Like a metronome, Iz has developed the faculties of his instinct to respond to the machine in real time in addition to interact with the crowd. Having mastered the turntables, either two, three or more at a time, and having digested some DJ equipment such as mixer and sampler (samplers), during performance, perception of time is slowed, allowing him to reflect between beats (mental stretching). He was a pioneer in the world and the first in Montreal to try and control the mix against the time.
Do not try to define exactly what it IZ ... since Charles is seeking to defy definition to keep everything fresh...

police tried to write Krista a sound violation ticket when she played with us at bluedog in 2001, tekstyle night so i guess it was a techno, maybe tech-house type set. krista was DJing and somehow the police thought it was appropriate to ask her for her I.D. so they could write her a personal ticket for playing the music too loud, or some shit. needless to say i sacrificed myself to the cause, freaked the fuck out, and the cops wrote me a ticket instead. [ www.rave.ca ] i don't think she was very impressed with the level of professionalism of tekstyle hahah, and i dunno, that may be the last time i saw her.

krista also wrote a column for the Mirror called Drop the Needle about local electronic events and DJs , (remember those! hahaha) [ www.montrealmirror.com ] here is one from 1998 where she talks about Jumpin Jack Frost comin to the Session! I remember that night, it was dope and JJF didn't beatmatch for shit, but did like 300 rewinds throughout the night. it was live nevertheless..

how come links within [ rave.ca ] never work when i post them, any ideas anyone ? if i copy paste the url into a new browser it works, however i cannot even write it here and have it display , it just creates the [ rave.ca ] link shortcut instead. this is what the first link should be [ ] [ www.rave.ca ] obviously take away the space after the [ ] and it should work in another browser. any help on this issue would be appreciated

yeh this makes no sense, somehow one of those links works, but when i copy the url of the working link (it's the third one in the update) it still doesn't work from the main body. same thing happened when i posted event link to the iznogood event may 8th .. confused

"This is the beginning of a series of Thursday night events happening in Mtl's west end. The club is newly renovated with a a beautiful sound system and more intelligent lighting than you can throw a stick at. Expect to hear a brand of techno and avant-garde electronic music that usually gets over looked on the Mains' Thursday night hustle.
We're building a weekly rotation of professional, passionate artists and djs, with the goal of guaranteeing quality tunes consistently throughout the summer."(Noise Floor)

words cannot express how happy we are to have Iznogood come down and DJ with us. Maybe some people that have not been doing this Montreal electronic music scene thing for so long do not realize the magnitude of Iznogood's influence. As a DJ and mostly as a person he has been an inspiration to so many people in this scene, to keep it real and to trust their passion, heart and arts, always committed to taking everything -life, music, reality, to the NEXT level.

Ten years ago Charles Iznogood was voted as Montreal's favourite DJ in the Mirror magazine, an incredible accomplishment for an underground electronic music artist (check out the article, it's a great little history lesson as well.. [ www.montrealmirror.com ] . written by Krista who was a pretty darn good DJ herself!). Six years later he was named as the 4th best DJ in the city in the Hour magazine's Lalla land column, supported by the claim that Iznogood is "operating at a totally different level."
