Concordia's radio station, CJLO 1690AM, is having a raffle to help raise funds to support the station. For those who don't know CJLO is a non-commercial radio station dedicated to playing all kinds of underground music that can't be heard on mainstream radio. We're run, almost entirely, by a very dedicated group of volunteers who are truly passionate about music. In order to be able to play as much of it as we can we play very few commercial advertisements, you shouldn't really hear more than 1 or 2 an hour, and as a result a lot of our funding comes from fundraising efforts and donations.

I figured I'd share this with all of you because, if nothing else, you're all people who share a love for underground music and since that's what we're all about I thought some of you might be interested in taking part.

There are over 60 prizes to be won, including (and I apologize for the length of this):

- DA22 Rear track wheel with Formula hub/cog, lockring and Vittoria Zaffiro tire mount from Bikurious (130$ value)
- gift certificates for tattoos from TattoBox Montreal

We're selling 1 ticket for 3$, 2 for 5$ or 5 for 10$. For every ticket sold we will donate 1$ to the NDG Food Depot, so you aren't only supporting CJLO.

Winners will be chosen on Jan. 7th at our annual Christmas party being held at Club Lambi, anyone who buys a raffle ticket will be welcome to come.

If you'd be interested in buying any raffle tickets please PM and I can arrange for a time and place to meet you.

Thank you very much!

EFM-7 has been helping out with some of the deco and he loves drawing penis', or other phallic shaped objects and our deco crew leader (Jen_) always likes having an easter egg somewhere in the deco. So long story short, yes, it is a penis, but you might not find it.

Yea, saves you like 20 minutes or so I think, haha.

Who wants deco teasers?!

Our deco crew has been working really hard for 2 months at this, they've put tons of work into it and it really shows. Wait 'till you see the full pieces at the party, a lot of these will still be surprises to me and if you're not familiar with the deco this crew put together for Here We Go last year you'll be blown away. Hell, even if you are familiar with it you'll be blown away.

The moment you’ve all been waiting for. The venue! Tomorrow night we will be partying ALL NIGHT at the Russell Arena located at 1084 Concession St., Russell, ON. This is a huge hockey arena with two rooms, and an absolutely perfect venue for a rave. See you all there!

Here is his entire live set from last year, I've always been meaning to count how many times he plays something that samples "Here we go", it was awesome: [ www.ottawaraves.com ]

He's told us he'll be producing a track specially for this party 'cause he had so much fun last year. In his own words on [ HappyHardcore.com ]

Here We Go was voted party of the year for 2007. Expect this one to blow it out of the water. Bigger venue, more sound, better lighting, crazier deco and extra Nintendo.

If you’re new to Here We Go, expect Super Mario Bros green tubes, hanging boxes and a whole whack of other funky Nintendo decorations! We want to see something Nintendo on each and every one of you.

Shuttle busses will be running to and from the venue nearly all night long. The cost of a return trip on the shuttle bus is 5$. Busses will leave from behind Loeb downtown (at Rideau and Cumberland) starting at 8:30PM Departure times will be posted at [ www.herewegorave.com ] and [ www.1upped.ca ] before the event

Featuring :

UFO [UK]
(UK Hardcore) - Raver Baby, Ufology Records, Hardcore Til I Die

Jason Holloway aka UFO is world renowned for both his production on such labels as Raver Baby and Jelly Baby and his unparalleled energy behind the decks. Since 1995, he has produced many of the top Happy Hardcore tracks of all time such as ‘Deep Inside’, ‘Flying High’ and ‘Castles in the Sky’. The biggest names in hardcore, such as Hixxy, Breeze and Supreme have produced anthem after anthem with UFO. Chances are that you’ve heard multiple UFO tracks played at every hardcore rave you’ve been to. In Ottawa, his tracks “Punk” and “Punk Access” ALWAYS fill the dancefloor. Other huge hits you’ve most likely heard at our events are “Underground”, “New Years Day”, “Hardcore” and “Tears”. Even if you don’t know them by name, most of UFOs tracks are anthems in every sense of the word. Ask anybody present and they will tell you that UFO KILLED it at WEMF ‘07 – we guarantee that on July 26th you will be blown away.

LUNA-C [London, UK]
(Breakbeat Hardcore / Mashup) - Kniteforce, KFA

He killed it last year so we’re bringing him BACK! One of the pioneers of hardcore is coming to Ottawa, straight from the UK. Luna-C is considered a legend worldwide: his name has become synonymous with a versatile and varied style of mixing, incorporating breakbeat hardcore, freeform, happy hardcore, old skool hardcore and drum and bass into his sets. You can expect to hear remixes of just about anything and everything. Luna-C has produced and released many of the top breakbeat hardcore anthems, from Shout Now, Six Days and Take Me Away to My Angel, Sesame's Treat, Piano Progression, and the list goes on. He has released many HUNDRED releases and you can be sure his set in Ottawa on July 26th will be one you won't soon forget. Luna-C has promised us a specially made Nintendo intro for this party – he had so much fun last year that he’s as excited as we are!

NO LEFT TURN [San Francisco, USA] [TWO SETS]
(Happy Hardcore / Eurodance!) - K12 Studios, Sunrize Sound

Hailing from San Francisco, No Left Turn has become a name recognized by hardcore lovers all over the world. Known for his innovative mixing, he has opened minds to what could be done by mixing various genres with hardcore. Together with his undeniable energy behind the decks, it's no wonder he is one of the most popular hardcore DJs in the USA. No Left Turn mixes on 3 or 4 decks, cutting and layering hardcore in ways you never thought possible. This unique style has earned him appearances in such prominent places as Toronto, Los Angeles, Seattle, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Detroit, as well as near weekly appearances in his hometown. His releases have been included on labels all around the world, including Ballistic Bootlegs, Ravin Phantasy, and Draft & Method. Despite his busy DJ and production schedule, he has helped create K12 Studios, which has quickly become the top hardcore production studio on the West Coast. If you’re an Ottawa raver, you’ve probably heard his most popular Happy Hardcore mix (Matchbox Storybook) as well as his AMAZING euro mix (Catch 22). If you haven’t, you simply MUST download them immediately and get ready to be amazed. He’ll be rocking Ottawa with both a Hardcore AND a Euro set!

TONY BENINO [San Francisco, USA] [TWO SETS!]
(UK Hardcore / Hard Trance) - K12 Studios, [ happyhardcore.com ] radio

Flying in directly from Los Angeles for the show, Tony Benino is quite simply going to amaze you. Tony has, without a doubt, the strongest stage presence we’ve ever witnessed.

Matricks tu me laissera savoir si toi (pis je presume Alex) venez! J'y suis for sure.

I fail to see a downside, or how anyone can really suffer from that? Like it or not there's a cap on how much most people are willing to pay to go to an event, past that point you start losing people (supply vs. demand). Finding that point, and delivering an event that aims at using all the funds you can safely expect to pull in at whatever that cost is doesn't harm anyone. The event is literally 100% of what it could potentially be, and people attending don't feel like they're being robbed.

If I was aiming to make money those events would have to be the same price, but deliver a lower quality.

Making money means more people have to give us money. I do this because it's something I'm passionate about, as much for the music, as the scene and the people. I have no intentions of attempting to make myself some money while making other people pay me more than they'd otherwise need to. If I walk away broke even and managed to throw an awesome event than I've done what I set out to do.

It's not like this is my source of income or my career goal.

Throwing events and throwing events for profit don't always come hand in hand. I don't think Pascal ever said anything about either of us doing this to make revenue.

Graham banned him, of course he would think it's justified. That has nothing to do with what my POV is towards Dain-Ja. I also don't think many people (or any) were arguing whether or not it was justified.

Umm... strawberry shortcake?
Which convictions are you referring to?
I'm 19 in my first year of University, so I live with my parents? I move out in July. Do you know me?

I don't even understand what there is to debate or argue about.

He won't link you 'cause no one is laughing at anything. A girl started a thread quoting his first post asking if Dain-Ja had been banned, a few people confirmed it and told her she was late on the news (it happened 2 months ago.) Someone came in and called Host "verdun trash", his GF defended him, a few more people insulted him, and that's basically where the thread stopped.

"I think this is exactly why Ottawa has its own rave forum."

Yea I was gonna say. Forums are about building a community and talking with the people you know and have met. Ottawa ravers get very little (i.e. none) of that on this board.

Johan Gielen was absolutely awful when I saw him in Toronto last year. It was shitty trance, with some kind of weird house bassline, and he just kept hitting the cue button over and over 'cause he thought it sounded cool. Then he stopped the music for a full 5 minutes so he could do a shout out to [ TranceAddict.com ] and a few other people.

I honestly could not have dreamed up a worse trance set.

We're looking for 3 places as well, they don't need to be together, is anyone heading up and still need people to fill up some spots? All leaving from Montreal, and we'll pay gas and etc.

Yea, I had a blast at this party. The venue was really nice, deco looked really good and I loved seeing some lighting and lasers around.

The music was awesome! I'm not sure I've ever caught Acid live before but it blew me away. Indica everything I caught of your set from Unlucky Punk on was fantastic. It's a shame that I missed the beginning but I can't wait for that recording to be out. I'll sure to check you out the next time I see you're name on a line-up somewhere.

Perfect opener for Frankie Bones as well, set the right tone for his coming on. I only caught the first hour of his set but it was alot better than I would have expected, originally not knowing any of his music I had a basic set of expectations of someone of that caliber and they were definitely surpassed.

Very impressed by the whole night, thumbs up. Can't wait for the next one.

What time is Luna-C playing?

Venue:

Hard As Fuck will be held at 45 Donaldson Road, Buckingham, it's a stone church you'll find shortly after turning up Donaldson at the top of the hill. Take the right at the fork in the road. Yes this is the same venue used for Techno Church so for all of you who went you know where it is!

Map: [ maps.google.ca ]

There is lots of parking infront and overflow parking as well.

REMEMBER!

The last place to pick up your Hard as Fuck Memberships is going to be at the shuttle bus pick up location at those hours from one of our designated bus nazi's. They will not be available at the door

Make sure if you're driving and don't have a ticket to stop off at the bus pick up first to get one.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Damnit! My friend and I are throwing our first party in Ottawa this same night but we're both HUGE fans of Reid Speed, he in particular. Saw her @ Together as One in Toronto back in February. Is she playing a breaks set or jungle set? Or both? Do not miss your chance to see this girl in action, she rocks the decks like crazy! Best breaks set I have ever heard hands down. Big ups to this!

Bring her back some other date as well! lol

^

Bahaha. Might see youguys there then, don't miss out:P

In reference to the will Ottawa people pay full price at the door, there have been tickets on sale at Norml for... probably a month now, or maybe just under that, and Supaman has had tickets on him to cover the other side of the bridge, Gatineau, etc. So there is really no reason why he/she should be showing up without a ticket. I don't see why Doc Savage & Emm would give them a deal, they haven't in the past I don't think.

Bought my tickets today! Crazy hyped
