dj Fresh (BC) [12/08/05] @TokeLounge

[sNyx]

Yo, im soaked. My ears are ringing, and my feet hurt. Wait im not done. I got heartburn from scotch, my wallet is empty, my back pocket just puked out flyers and to boot im posting on FNk. Sounds like a blasting Thursday, cheers to Silverwaters and friends. Excellent evening. I tried to tell the story of his last visit. Concrete room of the bottom corner in old warehouse, busted about 4 tracks in by the RCMpunks. Tasted but not chewed. Since then BCR (Bad Company) was part of my personal all time fave Barcelona, which I didn't hear. Boo! (My custom mp3 ring tone will have to make due.) Tokelounge was jumping, I tell you it was one of the best nights I have had there only comparable to my 20th birthday.. and most defiantly the most I have danced since High Contrast. Keep them coming Vancouver! Sick sick sick. Verbal Ass had some banging verbs for the room, that "drop one more" or whatever the fuck was awesome, don't give your mic to that other dude. Fresh opened with a Tarantula mix (I donno enough dnb to pick witch) and then closed (almost) with another Tarantula, mixed over some light HC kinda sound.. absolutely banging none-the-less. Well my last glass on roxx is almost done, spell check, edit edit edit and goodnight.

Bestest luck to everyone tomorrow morning at their regular AM day2day, gawd knows I'll need it... scoooottttch

I'll tell you, I tell you what, that Fresh he brought Bad Company and everyone loved em. 10/10

[Revolver]

yeah this one was a banger for sure!!!...ive went off more at other shows though...fresh was one to sit and trainspot for sure....buddy fucking killed it! mixes were tight a solid the whole night through.

expected the lounge to be ALOT more busy than it was!...come on...its fresh were talkin about here...there were ALOT of heads i didnt see out..like wtf?

anyways aside frome the overly crsipy highend of the soundsystem the night was pretty mint.

and carlos?.......yeah that shade of mascera looks great on you dawwwg!

straight up lawllz....arnold style.

big ups for making this night happen! showed up just in time for Fresh!


Thanks Josh, and Kristine! :)


i heard some awesome remixes. one that i really like was "Hold your colour", that sounded pretty sick...

wish i didnt have to work this morning, feel pretty tired. Seemed that Tokyo lounge was pretty busy. if it was more busy i dont know how i'd be able to breath! it was pretty hot in there!

Fresh looked like he was totally having fun! nice seing everyone who was there! :)

thanks again for bringin FRESH to our wikkid city!

tarantula crossed with pendulum's blood sugar. it was probably one of the best openings to a dnb set i've heard, awesome way to start his set.

Myles, I will concur, although I don't get out to that many events, but the few times I have seen you, you've never danced as much as you were going off last night.

While not a full blown dnb head, I definately enjoyed the set. Too exhausted to dance the myles dance all night, but I liked what I heard. All the pendulum tracks dropped kept reminding me how stupid I was to miss them back a few months ago though.

Also, first time being in tokyo lounge, that place is really nice.

[sNyx]

what the hell did he mix it with at the end, now THAT was impressive.. it was a flutey chime sorta highhat fuck I was pretty drunk by then I donno if it was flutey or chimey but it was a sweet track to lay tarantula over!

[TrixX]

MAJOR HEADACHE! rad night. too many martinis(those things kill me but i looovvve them sooo much)! true there were a lot of heads that didn't make it out. kam........... :(

fresh was tight. wicked track selection for sure. fuckin' bangin'! hadn't seen dawson out in a while..........he was rippin' it pretty good.

george, john= sushi mother fuckers.............its on. loved seeing you guys! and jay.........wtf?? i feel like i didn't see you all night :(
carlos you must have a massive hangover "hey wanna make out?" :)

p.s. sully you're the fuckin' man........wicked partying with you!!

[dapimpstress]

Can't wait to see him tonight! with reid speed!

a

[Gusto]

good times. totally didn't plan on being there, but got drunk and decided it would be fun, and it was. kinda hating work today though.

[dj_soo]

waay too loud in there. Someone has to tell these UK DJs that louder =/= better.

Fresh was good - lotta dubs, tight mixing - not my kind of dnb, but i knew that going in. Anyone know the name of that one dub he dropped with the 1/2 time hiphop-y intro (I believe he rewound it too)? That was cool although like Slam, I prefered the intro to the actual track. Dabbler, I'm looking at you :).

Biggest surprise was actually Dawson - I usually think he's absolutely terrible but i'll give props where props are due and he's actually learned to not jabber incessantly over the set and actually shut the hell up and let the DJ do his thing.

i don't know, i was getting my coat at that point.

also, alla, at what point did he play hold your color? what mix of it was it? i love that track but maybe i was in the smoking area at that point, inever heard it :(

[Silverwinged]

definately choked that i missed this.

[Cdn_Brdr]

Ugh.... I feel like death right now! So sleepy!

Had a great time mind you. Seems to me like everyone has already said what I was thinking so uhh yeah.... ^WHAT THEY SAID^

[peanut]

Great show! Nice to see everyone that was there!

Thanks to all those that attended!!

Fresh definately rocked it!!! :)

Up next Winter Break!!!!

thats what its all about. I dont get the urge to fucken slam it as much as I would like anymore in this city. silly as it may sound, I was front row when Fresh was suppose to play at Unite back in 2004. it was the highlight of the month, then woosh police shut it down. so I was dancing vicariously through that night!

it was nearly the end of the show! i think he dropped "all that jazz" right after that? if i remember correctly.... was wayyy sleepy in the end! but i've never heard of that remix before i know that for shou!

[AGROculture]

I had a great time!

[wishbone]

shit maybe i was already getting my shit to leave when he played the track. awww now i shoulda stayed till the tired end.

"masotide" (pendulum "masochist" vs noisia "the tide")

[C_squared]

What a great night! I had a blast gotta to talk to a lot of ppl last night.. I was kinda all over the place. haha

Fresh killed it for sure... I knew what to expect..hes got some sic, sic skills. His intro and bootleg rmx for off the fucking hook. Tune after tune after tune.

Shayna... sure! :202:

John... you motherfucker! I also added you to my msn but youre never online.. I want to see pics from last night.

Adrienne... I'm an ass and I appologize for everything.

Silverwaters crew comes correct once again these cats have totaly stepped up to bring some quality shows... Winterbreak & ShyFx next!!!

[Bevvy Swift]

i had a great time. met a few new people, too. hello there!

personally, i was hoping to hear more new stuff, rather than remixes of old stuff, but it was dope nonetheless. what was the "one more track" played? that was fuckin bangin.

thanks for having me, josh, see ya saturday!

ps - the big black bouncer was an asshole.

I believe that was VerbalAss's own lyrics :)

Lowpoint of my night was the first thing my "friend" asks me is if I was on drugs. Good on ya!

[Gusto]

you were though right?

[psidream]

i liked your review, but i think it's a bit much to recommend that elan not be given a chance to rock the mic. the thing that i like about elan's mc'ing is that he is respectful and humble towards the music, knows when to shut up and let the music do the talking, and just generally adds to the vibe, rather than shitting all over it and worrying about whether his voice can be heard overtop the tunes. he's not concerned with the amount of attention he's getting - unlike most mc's. it's cool to state that you prefer dawson, fair enough, but to recommend that someone else who can hold his own on the mic not be given a chance is stupid. elan's without a doubt proven himself on several occasions that he is one of vancouver's strongest mc's. and he's a cool cat to boot ;)

admittedly, dawson was better last night than at any other time i've seen him perform.

[Ragga_Wh0re]

too bad I wasnt there last night.It would have been nice to see dawson not suck for once.

and snyx what you said about elan is in poor taste.

Between dawson and elan...elan has more skills hands down.
