 Coolness: 149000 | very solid job vince and nick, big props.. all the elements were in order: deco was AMAZING (especially the ZEN room.. that room was 10/10, amazing sound, wicked music and stunning fucking trippy visuals).. the sound was solid, everything was well organized, and first and foremost you guys KILLED IT... the set of the night, without a doubt, dorobo vs clown.. i wasnt too impressed with nuclear ramjet good tracks obviously, but they seemed kinda rusty on a lot of their transitions -beats dropping out and popping in out of nowhere kinda shit...
it's hard to say where and when techno will work, but it's evident that it didn't work at makina, which was really dissapointing i guess... this is obviously the downside of the party (and the fact i guess that not too many people showed up..) i think there can be a lot of speculation about why this happened. number one is of course that the headliner is a psy-trance act, so that notoriously fickle tech-heads, who are used to having beyer, carola, vigorito, christian smith, speedy j or whoever at aria for 30 bucks, will be hard pressed to come out and hear local tech for the same price (the usual story with tech-parties in montreal).. and secondly, the techno was at the beginning of the night, so that for all the psyheads up in there, i think it may have been a bit much -its like they needed something to get them INTO it (nuclear ramjet) before they were ready for some harder beats (clown and geist)... personally i went into this party saying fuck it, i'm gonna play dark, heady pure tek. some of my friends thought my set at cloud was too cheesy, too booty, all that shit (and i totally agree to a certain degree), so makina was an outlet for all my dark, faceless robotic beats ; which, to get a night going, just doesn't work. Having brought tons of records to the party, i decided, about 20 minutes into my set, to thrown in some psytek, thinking that my juice people up.. i did hear some cheers and shit when i threw on a couple of midimiliz tracks, but frankly it didn't get the people dancing either. then i just said fuck it and played the deep, trippy tek set i wanted to play. so in the end, i had fun playing but sorta felt like i was playing for my own appreciation only. lastly, i think it's obvious that techno can work at small parties, it happened at flux that's for sure.. the many reasons why it did work i guess are too long and confusing to go into right now, and i dont really have a fucking clue anyways... but i went into makina thinking that psytek and techno are so similar that people would appreciate what i was playing, and i've left with the realization that psytek and techno are distinctly different, and that the absence of the progressive element in faceless deep techno keeps psyheads from dancing. or something. so ya, i tried to play a set that bridged the hard tek of freebass and nter with the psytek of n.r., and it didn't seem to pan out for the dancefloor.. anyhoo enough about my personal neuroses, big up to clown and nick it was a pleasure to play for y'all, and don't give up on tek. |

 Coolness: 64445 | thanks everyone who showed up, contributed, danced, etc, etc, techeads or psyheads, it's all about music.
Your set was great steve, but you stated the reasons why peeps weren't too much into it, unfortunately. I had the same impression as you, seeing psytek and techno being so close to each other, they would make a great party both of them togheter in the same night. Looks like we need to treat'em separately for now but i still believe the best nights are made out of different styles blended togheter. Anyways we tried, learned and I'll probably end up trying it again someday ;) wired thoughts for wired minds |

 Coolness: 73975 | It was a nice party, the vibe was strange though. I slept until they brought the fuked-up girl. I was sleeping on the couch but I think she needed it more than me. It's what brought me back on track... Nuclear Ramjet, Clown, Dorobo and X-forg, you made my night, nice set and nice music.
The location and the deco were really nice. I didn't speak with a lot of people, they were strange (perhaps it was me...) Anyways, thanks for the party... Oli |

 Coolness: 49060 | ok ppl who organised the party...
i think this party ROCKED !! and i think the techno idea and PSYTEK IDEA WAS KILLER AWESOME i never dance from begginign to end at a rave but this one i kinda over did it... ( meaning the music didnt let me stop to sit lol ) i was the freak with the white eyes ( i met a couple of ppl there... but names dont ask lol ) anyways like u said dont give up on tekno parties because i think they rock much more... maybe it was just a coincidence.. that ppl didnt show up or anything.... or ppl didnt dance ( or so it seemed. ) i couldnt stop dancing for one... it was so overhelming hehe 9/10 party ( i just felt that i was raving alone.. thats all there was to the party.. ) |
