Sean, thats your opinion. Im talking facts. Is his style out-of-date? Well, his tracks are being signed right now. And as a dj he gets booked consistently at big and small parties and clubs in vancouver. Let that speak for itself.

Once again, being able to see beyond your own opinion on the matter is a valuable thing sean. try it sometime.

you're talking facts eh, okay lets talk facts, is britney spears not signed to some label? Does she not sell millions of records and have millions of fans? and can you not atleast in some part agree with me that her music is base shit?...opinions matter buddy.

being able to get gigs in vancouver isn't a big deal when the majority of people who go to parties are dumb junkie fucks would be content to dance to rocks banging around in a fuckin washing machine, or when you're buddies with the biggest rave promoter in vancouver...

and cinto i didn't mean to offend you, but like wiggles said im one of the guys who is getting sick and tired of only hearing florida breaks...i can understand you have a passion for music and you play what you like, which i respect cuz if i were to dj id do the same.

are you saying you guys settle for djs, cause thats what it sounds like you're saying.

Because our club scene here isnt developed enough, twisted's pretty much the only one in the position to bring in big name talent on a regular basis. Vancouver's a big city. Book ppl earlier then "way in advance." put out the effort. ppl arent dumb. ppl know when you guys cop-out on a lineup, and when you put in some effort (like it looks like you're doing for twisted 2003.)
That breaks headliner you bring in IS a big deal. I hope you use your heads...

Our club scene isnt developed? Fuck Id say our club scene is pretty damn good. Then again there arent lots of good weekly electronic house nights that arent house.... But still, we see shitloads of good Djs from other genres constantly. Our jungle scene isnt big, but Dieselboy just came a while ago, trance isnt really big here either, but Tiesto, Sasha, Digweed, Johan Gielen, and Oakenfold all come in the space of 4 months. If you're just talkin breaks (which is a very small portion of electronic music locally and globally), we did have krafty kuts(who fuckin rocks from what i remember in frostee last year) a while ago and from what I hear Adam Freeland as well as some other big non-florida breaks DJ(cant remember the name...) came here a while ago but both recieved very small attendance, which is probably why we dont get that many good non-florida breaks DJs in Vancouver clubs. In the whole scope of the Vancouver club scene, breaks really dont recieve much demand.

However, even tho Im not a huge breaks fan Id love to see the Plump DJs. And Fatboy Slim.

[wigglesworth]

Everyone you just named is all fine and dandy but how many decent regular electronic music club nights can you name off the top of your head? I bet you couldnt get past your first hand. Im talking about regular nights with LOCALS. We dont need to bring in out of town djs all the time, even though it may be nice from time to time. We need an established base of electronic music playing locals to support a healthy club scene. Only then will it grow into a toronto or montreal. Not through out-of-towners.

Sean! you put me in the class of Spears.... sweet... hey like i said bro, to each their own.

-ak47- I know exactly what you mean... I was at freestylers when they were here just a little while back and they kciked some serious ass. I would have love to have gone and seen Krafty Kutz and the plump DJs but i had to work and i am planing on going to see Freq Nasty when he comes right around the corner. the reason being is because i don't want to see this scene die anymore than it has been... I've been in it for 8 years now and have seen it die once before and it brought itself back up... small little things that get to a certain point, as this post was heading for a bit there, is what is destroying our scene, what's left of it, here in Vancouver. blah blah blah yeah i know but it's true.

anyway everyone... I hope we enjoy what we have coming our way for 2003 from many of you local producers, promoters and DJs... keep on the look out as we all work together in our own was to try and help out!

Peace
Cinto

sean, you are talking out of your ass.

YOU DONT HAVE TO LISTEN TO JUST FLORIDA BREAKS. how many club nights with florida breaks djs have there been in van? none. i cant remember any in the past half year or so. last i remember was tony faline in the summer.

how many club nights with nu-skool (uk or otherwise) breaks djs have there been in recent past? krafty, adam freeland, tipper, skool of thought, freq nasty, pete emms, mike grimes, dig dug/sir kutz, melting man is coming...if i bothered to check the events listing right now i bet i could find a half dozen more.

and guess what? i havent seen you at a SINGLE one of those shows. In fact i havent seen you at any club nights, or events anywhere in recent memory except for plaza raves. so stop trying to be so negative and actually get out there and support those djs that spin the music you speak so highly of, instead of trying to cut down our locals who work really hard to try to be at the forefront of the music they love.

Its nothing too special.. Just an accapella put over a bassline and a break. I think the original does a little more justice to the track.

just for the record, Dig Dug played it last night, and i've got some trust in the guy when it comes to good breaks. = )

[-ak47-]

wiggles, I cant name a shitload, but like I said, I pretty much only follow house and house is extrememly abundant in Vancouver. So for me the club scene is pretty sweet.

Some people have more important things in their lives to do, then see every dj that comes to town....

Abundunt compared to what?
I guess if you like tech and deep house its pretty sweet. Isnt that mostly what we have in van?

[-ak47-]

^probably the two most abundant types(I happen to love both), but theres lots of other house too. By abundant I mean abundant, making no comparisons, cuz comparing ourselves to New York or even Toronto or Monteal(who both have atleast 1.5 million more people than here) is unfair. For a city our size, I think our selection is pretty damn good, especially in terms of big talent coming here, which to me is most important. I mean Ill go to a couple of regular nights but the majority of the nights I go to are to see a big name DJ; few people can afford to go clubbing downtown twice or even once a week unless theyre rich(clubbings damn expensive man, i spend $100 when i go out easily...), which is perhaps why there are so many deep house nights since I guess its really trendy and alot of its folling have tons of cash.

Yeah I agree there are barely any trance, jungle or breaks nights, but the majority of people here dont listen to it(atleast who are of clubbing age), or atleast have many other preferences(like myself). Theres atleast one night per week and plenty of really good ones on the weekends, it aint top40 or hiphop but if I want to listen to house any day of the week, I can.

Dont get me wrong tho, I think we should have more non-house electronic nights, especially trance.

[wigglesworth]

Deep and tech house are good to listen to. It works well in a lounge. But if you want to get funky, dirty, and fun, how many funky house nights are there?

[mattymids]

the shitty part about the clubbing aspect with breaks, to be exact nu skool breaks is that everyone talks the shit , "oh bring in soul of man he rips it" then you go and theres noone there, same with meat katie, and even krafty kuts, to an extent. and freq nasty, he played at elemnet whats the capacity like 150 people, compare that with tony faline hwere the place was packed, im not much of a fan of tony faline but when youre someone like grooverober dooin lime nights spending twice the amount of money on soul of man than tony faline, and getting half the turnout something is wrong, and until people actually show up to these shows were gonna keep on seeing florida djs who will bring out the crowds

I dunno man alot of tech-house is great to dance to, you're probably thinking of the Tyler Stadius style of deep tech-house, Im talking Mr. C, funky dancefloor tech-house, which there is quite a bit of...

Theres pretty many nights with funky house (and i dont mean the disco kind), well i dunno about nights entiredly devoted to it but check out cheeky, balance, Bust and MyHouse at the Waldorf.

^^ Do these "important things" include posting negatively on F&K often?

Oliver brings up some extremely good points...

[Cinto]

silence fills this thread! ewww the truth comes out from many points of view!


dong dong dong!

Cinto :keebler:

[dj_precise]

I had this message all written up and ready to put in but after reading it over I though to myself, "how can you diss people from their ignorance on a music genre?" I cant..
Some people strive to play different shit all the time and some people like the same old shit....
So I guess as the saying goes "To each their own", right Cinto??

[WiWcHaR]

Every time I'm at a party I see the DJ providing a good time for everyone.
It's funny how they get criticized on the boards for playing "cheesy" tracks, or top 40 songs...
Like someone already said, they play to please the crowd. And if the crowd is feeling it, what's wrong with top 40?

hey man, my life is music, all kinds and many different instruments. when i have the chance to hear electronic music i love on big systems and hear the very freshest in whats out there, i go out there and enjoy it. I do the same when a jazz guitarist comes to town that i love.

maybe music is not as central a focus in your life, but hey, whatever, that doesnt bother me.

[WiWcHaR]

^ that doesn't mean you have to bash the guy for not being as knowledgable about something as you.

true, except Cinto isnt a mediocre dj. Hes an excellent producer, and an excellent dj with many of his own, original tracks being released by Tommy Boy and Malicious Recordings, just to name a couple...

once again, get your head out of your ass and pay attention mikey.
