lol, this is why I shouldn't post from my phone :P

but yeah, good call...hadn't thought about the "unfortunate looking" naked ravers :S

vous devriez faire un reve en sous-vetements

de toute facon, les gens sont toujours rendus quasiment nus dans les raves où il fait chaud

Well, I think that it HAD to be said. People always try to sweep this stuff under the rug and it makes the job more difficult for honest djs/promoters.

Then we get fucked cause there's no way of organizing proper tours. That means booking less big headliners, smaller events, etc.

Plus, I think ravers should know whether they're supporting someone that rips people off. If he was ripping ravers off you would care but because its just international talent you...dont?

Yeah, I wanted to go to montreal and see orbit1 but I was playing in ottawa at 330 so it wasn't an option. By the time the ottawa party got shut down I was too drunk to drive.

I wish I had been there - oh well, I guess ill see him in ottawa.

And yeah, I'd be frustrated too but nobody is blaming you, they're blaming sickness.

Quand on a pas de faits pour se défendre et qu'on a clairement tort on lance des attaques personnelles.

Je veux l'enregistrement du set d'Orbit1. Contrairement aux quelques "bad reviews" ici, je suis sur qu'il a buché...Mais on verra bien. Ce que j'avais entendu à WEMF était malade.

Non, c'etait pas mon evenement mais bel essai.

Et ma carriere de DJ n'a aucun rapport. Mais pour ton info, j'ai en masse de bookings.

Hey, I've booked quite a few big international headliners through the years.

I've also sued people before. I've been in court. Verbal agreements DO hold up in small claims court (which goes up to 25,000$ now), and either way, I'm sure there was a string of emails discussing payment with Sickness. If there was, that alone would constitute an automatic win in smalls claims court.

Have you ever taken a University level law class? Because I have...

I don't know about the "kid" you're referring to but I have extensive promotion experience and I've organized a number of tours. In Canada, if DJs/musicians are playing in a venue without alcohol and aren't entering into a RECURRING contractual relationship, they are exempt from getting work permits.

Now, I don't know if there was alcohol at this event, but if there wasn't then Orbit1 was 100% allowed to play without a permit. Not that it's in any way relevant to the situation at hand.

Are you saying that if no contract is signed then the agreement is invalid? Verbal agreements hold up in court - and if they really wanted to, they could easily sue Sickness for the money. I doubt they would, but either way...

No wonder Montreal DJs always ask me for contracts (which most would consider useless when you're playing for less than 1000$) when I book them.

And what kind of questions is that? Of course it's the promoter's fault if he doesn't pay the headliner he booked! Who's fault do you want it to be?!

Ridiculous.

Oh and, when a party doesn't get packed or the promoter doesn't have enough money that's NEVER the headliner's fault. It's always the promoter. If you are throwing an event, you should know what kind of numbers you can expect for a class A/B/C headliner. From what I gather, this party didn't even have flyers the week before the event - no fucking wonder the turnout was lower than expected.

You can't sit on your ass promotion-wise and expect people to show up because you booked a big name. You've gotta work for it.

760$ for one of the top hardcore engineers in the world, on tour from Australia, is hardly alot of money. In fact, it's pretty damn cheap.

Normally you'd pay 1000$ for the headliner's ticket from the UK, then 2000$ for his booking fee for the weekend (which you can usually cut in half with a tour if you're lucky), then hotels and all that.
So normally it's 2200$ minimum, if not 3200$.




That's another point I was going to make. If you make an agreement you should stand by it. Don't say you're gonna pay 1000$ and think you'll get by with 500$.

Headliners like Orbit1 aren't like local DJs that think of this as a hobby. DJing is their livelihood. If they don't get paid they don't have money to live. That's not really that funny.

I can't believe you guys think you're doing your scene a favour by supporting promoters that don't stand by their promises! It's people like that that give Canada such a bad reputation. You'd be surprised how many UK headliners I've booked that have told me horror stories. Many headliners I've tried to book have flat out said no because they've had bad experiences before (thank God for my good reputation).

Ugh, one more for my blacklist.

SICK! I mgiht have to come down for this :D

Probably but I won't share it if you don't come to the party :P

YARRRRR

It's gonna be sick.

Same here. I pay for all my music, although, like nearly everyone, I haven't always been that way.

Still, in the last 4 years or so I've payed for it all. I've spent tens of thousands of dollars on music and have no regrets.

Now, as a hard working producer, I understand why that's so important even more than I ever did.

I bought it cause I support sharkey.

I probably won't get it for a while though.

Le CD de hixxy a lair plate a mort. Le CD de unknown a lair correct, rien de plus. Le CD de sharkey a lair TIGHT.

On verra...

Dain-Ja – LIVE @ Emotion 3 (February 2009)
ft MC Everybody’s Daddy (at the end)

A live recording in my usual style: quick mixes, cuts, layering, mid-breakdown drops and a wide variety of styles. I also dropped a few of my own tunes, so check them out and let me know what you think ;) It’s a live mix so some of the mixes are dodgy near the end but most are wicked, I promise!

if it's MDMA (which it probably isn't), and is stored in a somewhat dry, cool place, it has a lifespan of many thousand years

a chart like this is irrelevant unless you're a pharmacist

...street grade drugs have nothing to do with the pure substances used to create it

Centrum definitely doesn't do that.

viens Francis, je vais raver avec toi :P

Ecler Nuo 5, with all cables, accessories (Spare VCA fader, Ableton live LE, USB cable for connecting to PC, etc.) and original box.

I'm selling because I just got a DJM-800 and I can't justify having two high end mixers AND four tech12s (but I'm keeping those) haha...





Features:

-5 channels (one is rotary)
-HUGE EQ knobs (best EQ I've ever used...I'm gonna miss it), with bass off switches right under the bass knob on each channel (I'm gonna miss that too...)
-Super smooth 60mm upfaders (again, best I've used)
-Award winning 'Eternal' magnetic crossfader
-MIDI output (to sync with Ableton)
-Reprogrammable digital effects unit (connect the mixer to the PC via USB and you can change all the settings like affected frequencies, curves, cutoffs, etc).
-Effects are: LFO Filter, Low Pass Filter, High Pass Filter, Delay, Reverb, Flanger, Phaser, Vocoder, Pitch Shifter, Echo Reverb, Filtered Echo, Flanger Echo
-TONS of inputs/outputs (4x Phono /6x Line /1x Aux /1x Micro Inputs, two master outs including XLR, two record outs, etc.)
-Line-in/Rec-Out on top panel so it's easy to connect devices
-SUPER high s/n ratio (this mixer sounds better than the DJM-800)
-TWO full power headphone outputs (good for teaching people to beatmatch)
-much more, just google it :P

To be honest, the only reason I got the DJM-800 is for the effects. If I could justify it, I'd daisy chain these mixers (use the NUO for mixing and the DJM for effects).

I paid 1300$ + tax and shipping just over a year ago

WILL SELL FOR: 850$ OBO (reasonable offers will be entertained)

new stuff

Which was my point all along, Strik_IX was claiming BS.

MattWood said it well

It's actually quite simple to do a test...there's pretty much no reason not to.

RAEV

Like I said, MDMA is not like methamphetamine, they are simply chemical "cousins" (ie similar but don't really share all that much). Strik was saying MDMA was an extension of methamphetamine.




Superior kit? It's the standard [ dancesafe.org ] kit with 3 reagents. You have to do all three tests to differentiate between certain things. For example, one test tells you whether something is ecstasy like (MDMA, MDA, MDEA, etc), 2ct7 or methamphetamine). Then another tells you whether it's MDA or MDMA/MDEA.

Basically, if you do all three tests you can narrow it down more than if you just did the meth/ecstasy like substance test. Like I said though, the basic test (marquis reagent which tells ecstasy like substances apart from meth and 2ct7) is the most common. If you can't tell orange from purple...




As much as I'd love to do that at events, it's illegal in Canada :(




If you have all three reagents you can tell MDA from MDMA/MDEA but not MDMA from MDEA.

I was using a random pharmaceutical comapany's name. My point was that "you might work for XXX" but that means nothing if you're working in the accounting department.




No they aren't! It's INCREDIBLY easy to detect and differentiate methamphetamine from MDMA using a testing kit. Unless you can't tell the difference between orange and purple. The fact that you're saying it's difficult shows you have never used a testing kit (and considering you stated you've been doing hard drugs for a decade, that should be a good indication that you shouldn't be giving anybody advice on drug consumption).




Clearly, hence the point of using a testing kit, which you are saying is useless (but it clearly isn't by your own argument).




They are similar chemically speaking - clearly, they're both in the amphetamine family. However, the molecular structure is quite different - there is no common molecule. MDMA is not an extension of meth, it is simply a chemical "cousin".




It's not meant to come off as arrogance. I'm just sick and tired of people telling people not to use testing kits "because they don't work". THEY WORK.

It's also the 20th time I've seen people say MDMA contains methamphetamine because they assume that because MDMA has methamphetamine in its name, it shares that molecule. If they had actually looked at the chemistry of the molecules, they would see they aren't anything but molecular cousins. Telling people MDMA is supposed to contain meth is what drug dealers do to justify the poor quality of their supply.

Finding pure MDMA is not hard if you are willing to spend the money and use a testing kit.

condition?

I'm at work so I can't (and don't want to) access any drug-related sites

With that said, those chemical structures are accurate anyways - care to prove them wrong?

You might work for Pfizer but that doesn't mean you know anything about chemistry. Considering you admit that you have no formal training in chemistry, your uneducated opinion is pretty invalid.

of course they're derivatives
...just like MDA, MDEA, amphetamine, etc.

But MDMA does not contain the methamphetamine molecule, and has completely different effects on the brain.

NO
Other than having "methamphetamine" in its chemical name, they are not the same at all

MDMA is not an extension of the methamphetamine molecule. It is has a different base molecule.

MDMA: [ www.moleculewear.com ]
Meth: [ www.moleculewear.com ]

hahahahahahahaa

Strik_IX: you are soooo clueless

While the chemical name for MDMA contains the word "methamphetamine", it is COMPLETELY different from methamphetamine

In fact, it doesn't contain the same molecule AT ALL

Compare the methamphetamine molecule to the MDMA molecule side by side - the MDMA one is NOT an extension of the MA molecule. You are one of those "self-taught" people that think they know everything about drugs and pharmaceuticals when, in fact, they are completely clueless.

Stop spreading BS. Gas chromatography would show you they are completely different.

Furthermore, you've clearly never used a testing kit. They can DEFINITELY differentiate METH from MDMA like substances - in one case it turns PURPLE (ecstasy like substance), while in the other it turns ORANGE (methamphetamine). Then you can do more tests to narrow down whether it's MDMA, MDA, MDEA, etc.

Stop spreading bullshit if you don't know what you're talking about. That's how people get hurt.

MC suck
There *IS* such a thing as happy gabber (example: old Paul Elstak, old DJ Buzz Fuzz, etc.)

WEMF sucked dick and I'm soooo glad it was the last one

the poutine at WEMF was inedible

The contract was until 9 but the venue had said we could stay and clean till noon

The venue manager that was there was new, and he was tired so he decided that it would take us 4 hours to clean, so wed have to close when we did. It only took us 2 hours so he was wrong but whatever....

The girl with the pink hair mixing early on was my girlfriend Lily (DJ Cheshire)

Rave on!

lol
the car is fine, miraculously

Oh, I know it was the owner that shut it down. I was the promoter after all :P

No, the cops first came because of Louis.

Then, they came back because Russell watch (local morons) called them about noise.

While they were going around the building with me, and we were negotiating about volume levels, we found a guy ODing on either K or GHB (apparently it was GHB). Paramedics were called.

They stuck around for a bit and once they were happy with the sound level, they left.

I have no idea when they came back again since I had a car crash on the highway after driving Luna-C to his hotel and didn't make it back to the venue until long after the party ended.

methamphetamine IS speed

The street term "speed" refers to either Amphetamine (not that bad) or Methamphetamine (horrible, addictive and dangerous)

70% of "E" seizures in Canada in 2006 contained Methamphetamine

Chances are that if you've taken untested pressed pills, you've taken methamphetamine.

Get a testing kit.

lol
The venue owner called the cops on you, not Mitch.

The only reason any HWGA staff/security wouldn't let you back in is because they wanted to AVOID cops being called again (by the venue owner).

Je suis heureux que vous avez aimé notre party :)
