100% agree. From my POV, both production companies have their style, and there are more than enough ravers for both companies to have parties. I mean, Solid seems to announce dates for their parties 3-4 months beforehand (which might seem like date-poaching), but I'm not sure if that's a bad thing; people can get their schedules and budgets in order.

Solid seems to get pretty major crowds (probably the largest of the two) out to every one of their events, so they're obviously doing something right. Whatever you want to say about price or venue, they're successful, and if you go in for the type of DJs they bring, you are unlikely to be disappointed.

As for Twisted, they've got a great history and a loyal group of fans. I'm NEVER disappointed in a Twisted show lineup, and have had a great time at every Twisted event I've ended up at. I tend to bump into the Twisted promoters a lot more often than I see the Solid ones, and they've always been entertaining and friendly. And now, it looks like they're trying to do something new and interesting. It's hard work, and Kudos is due there.

So yeah, the fighting and the digs are pretty retarded. Rave on.

My god dude... get some new material as that shit is getting boooooring.

fiesta fiesta fiesta

you do got a point tho kraig - seeing as I missed out on twisted last year. I am quite quite intent on hittin it this year, whenever it happens.

and yeah, finding a place that the owner actually will allow you to have a 'rave' not to mention that the city will actually approve - is next to slim nowadays, Im runnin into the same problem here in this tiny town.

well, all is well that ends well - and in this case, all will be well when we party at twisted 2k5:D

They differ from city/municipality to the next one. Different by-laws for each. Most cities have pretty strict laws on throwing "all-night paties."

Look how easy it was for Jer on the island to obtain a legal liquor license and have a 19+ drinking area @ Old School in Nanaimo!!!! -- And that was in the same venue where there were underaged people which would NEVER be allowed here... in any city!

^There's your answer then. Throw a party on the island! :)

[Carrie]

kraig, honestly, if I were a dj..
I'd rather play for a small crowd somewhere like the toyko lounge rather then a massive that probably half the people on the dance floor don't know and don't care who I am.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!! I started to type something like that but didn't want to waste my time further with Tony.

Azim and I have this arguement often... He has obviously DJ's for 3000+ peeps before which yeah is theory is kewl, but like you said I would MUCH rather play for a 19+-type crowd in a club with like 3-500 peeps going off with wicked vibe/energy. Krafty was a good example of something close to that energy.

These people actually appreciate the music and are there to have a good time and not there specifically to do drugs.

Well said. In all honesty, I'd have to say that we are dealing with two very equal production companies here. Sure Solid is throwin more massives now then Twisted is, and sure Twisted threw more massives beforehand then Solid did - but in the end, they both are known for creating quality shows and bringing amazing world-renowned DJ's to the west coast.
Sure Twisted as been sort've 'dorment' in the last couple months, but I daresay there done by any mean, I honestly hate partying in the same venue too many times, and what the Twisted team is doing is not only being creative, but being new, which I think every company needs in order to keep their customers, or in this case fans/partiers. So, Solid is throwing quality shows now, as they will continue too in the future, and Twisted has thrown quailty shows in the past, as they will in the future as well.

Stop the bickering, and as he said, Rave On!

[Carrie]

although playing at trance energy would fucken be fucktastic. but oh well.

= )

[Niko]

Strange, it almost seems like the rave world is divided in 2: The Plaza Mainstage Style, and the BC Room one.

I love the feel of a good massive, but I have to say that my best memories are always in the 150-350 person range. (Case in point: the BC Room at Grande Finale)

[Anjew]

burnaby is a difficult place to throw a party at...

and you know as soon as i saw twisted 05?
i knew solid would intervene.
guys... don't you have anythign else to do?

[Kraig]

Dorment?!? WTF. A company is dorment because it doesn't throw an all night rave? -- We have thrown a TON of club nights and brought some crazy, crazy world class talent to the city in those club venues. -- A lot of those club nights have drawn OVER 1000 peeps in each of them and have sold out.

We are far from dorement... perhaps shifting business focus is the better word and thus contributing to the scene in a different way.

I mean shit... wait till you see what we have planned coming up!!!

[Chewy]

twisted 2005 is gonna kick ass no matter where it is and no matter who plays there..... ill be there anyways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea

I then went on to say the reality is you (Solid) have raped or another words, the only thing you've done since Plaza closed has been thrown shows there. For that reason, I'm not sure that it makes sense that we'll throw yet another show there, but we'll see as it's not ruled out yet.

How would I reply to you if you said the same thing about us and the Plaza? I would say fucking rights we did because the venue ruled, it was the best period. That's why we did throw the most shows there out of any promotions company.

As for Spooky 6 - yes we threw it at that venue and yes we had 3 rooms. But you're still missing the point. Even at our show, as packed as it was with 5600 people there and as much fun that was had, the venue still is a 2 room venue. If ANY promotions company throws a show there, they are still going to be faced with what the venue is and the way it's been built.

So again Stan, see the bigger point. The venue itself isn't all that good to throw a show at which is why I commented on it. I used Solid as an example and stated the term raping to mean you've thrown your last how many shows there with another two scheduled coming up.

[edited] my previous msg to avoid further discussion. As much as Twisted is looking for a new venue, Solid has been doing the same. We actually found a few places but it takes time to legalize a new venue.

Pacific Coliseum is much bigger than the Plaza of Nations - I actually believe that Solid Corporation took the scene to another level in Vancouver. Look at the talent/production that is brought into the Pacific Coliseum.

Let us explain to you to WHY we have 4 areas. It's simple.

1. It's a massive
2. To assemble as much talent as possible together (local/internationally)
3. To seperate the music as best as possible - better music flow (House wouldn't mix well with DnB/Jungle) - Does Jungle mix with Trance in one room? Did Swamp mix well with the other Trance headliners in the main room on nye?
4. We want to give an opportunity to locals who don't get booked often. (How many locals would love to just get an opportunity to play infront of ppl) - the 4th is straight up talent showcasing as many out of town promoters do come by our events.
5. It's the Pacific Coliseum -- so much space - why not use it?
6. There's a FIRE regulation on the amount of ppl allowed in each area of music hence 4 areas is the best to avoid the problem. (especially in the 2nd area)
7. Having 4 rooms makes it more enjoyable to walk around and adventure around. (MUSIC EVERYWHERE)
8. It's more about marketing -- as we book more locals = spread of word and the Pacific Coliseum needs it.
9. You can PM and we can discuss more.

Okay. Let's stick with the topic of Twisted 2005 and do less comparing between companies.

[e_BoY]

ahhh the drama

[Anjew]

lol winson... me and you should throw parties called... fuck the rest come to the best
hahaha..

[hardstylin]

twisted just give me a reason to come back down PLEASE!!!!

and I think i would be tres sweet if twisted threw a non massive party maybe like 1000people max or less, at a nice tight venue the vibe alone would make the party great.

True true - I guess seeing as Im not 19 and not in the van scene as often, I miss out on quite a bit of the doings of Twisteds club nights and whatnot. I was merely referring to the massive raves from Twisted because that is the only thing that I have been moreorless paying attention to as of late. But like I said, Im a mad supporter of Twisted - and Twisted 2k5 is gonna be insane!

Why don't you all go run naked in the forest, hold hands and make up okie?

Remember! Bears are dangerous!

You say that like you were the first company to throw a party at that venue.



You haven't done anything that company's like exert and sweet didn't do long before you.
