when i go to parties, the ONLY music i care about is trance! yet amidst all this controversy of having a breaks dj on the main stage, perhaps new years is the best time to try something different like this anyway. Maybe if twisted tried this on any other saturday night during the year, then this idea might not fare so well. but props to twisted for going against the grain here. im sure that they were expecting some sort of controversy anyway... so it shows they are NOT AFRAID to try something new. vancouver seriously needs to diversify its music culture anyway.

like mc hammered pointed out, most party-goers will be "under the influence" of something anyway due to the new years hysteria, and besides... since many of the dj swamp defenders claim that he should be classified as an "entertainer," then im sure he won't disappoint... especially since this is a NEW YEARS event. of all 365 nights during the year, im sure DJs will want to be at their BEST on one of the most hyped. While some of you "hardcore enthusiasts" of electronic music may be disappointed by the lineup, the truth of the matter is... most of the attendees will be drawn to this event because it is NEW YEARS, not necessarily due to the talent assembled. as for those who try to classify the "gangster population" of the main room as exclusively trance fans... thats kinda unfair. honestly, i think half the reason why ppl in the main like trance is because its played in the MAIN ROOM! they'd probably rather not go to the breaks or jungle room because its smaller, therefore less ppl. especially on new years... unless ur a "hardcore enthusiast" for breaks or jungle, who necessarily wants to hang out in a room with fewer ppl? plus all the hot gangster girls hang out in the main room... so most of the thugs dare not leave! haha... so my theory here is that no matter what kinda music is played in the main room (as long as its not country), mixed in with some extra "medicines", the atmoshere in the main room will be pumpin!

as for the talent, PULSER and GTR definitely kick ass! ppl will be in for a treat to hear these rising trance superstars!

but the diamond in the rough out of all this is... Jimboski! definitely a rising up-and-comer who's gonna put vancouver on the map in the trance world!! to see this sexy asian dj rock the house would be my number one reason for going! i might even take my shirt off! haha

man i dont see why people are complaining abotu the talent for this show..as far as im concerned this is one of the better lineups pulled together for a new years show in quite awhile. Perhaps the same people complaining would be happier if graham gold, ingo or fuckin jon the dentist was playing :soak: . Regardless this is a solid lineup.

as for those of you complaining about swamp being on the mainstage, get over it. Swamp will amaze all the trippers out on the mainstage, the guy is pure entertainment, i think its great move to have him on the mainstage as it may open up a few minds, and itll certainly impress a few people who otherwise wouldnt have known swamp even exists. like sean says 95% of the people in the main area dont have a clue, there just there to do drugs and have fun, i have buddies who are mainstage only people and tios not becasue they only like trance, its just because they don't have a clue, and they like the atmosphere(aka asian girls) of the mainstage....those boys would shit themselves seeing someone like swamp perform

Hey all.

Just an FYI on a ticket location error which I fixed in my original post:

Obstruction was actually meant to be On Deck! -- Go visit Jay C, Tyler Johnson and Skip EZ at the store and pick up some tickets!

Peace.

Swamp on the mainstage is a great idea... I wouldn't classify him as any perticular genre, except maybe the "Freak" genre.... a real entertainer with mad skills on the decks.

We all know that the vibe of this party will be in the breaks room.... always is.
Terry Hooligan and I are very stoked to rock it on the 2x4. Expect some serious Dubs from Tel and I. We got an arsenal of tunes that many of you haven't heard yet.... Big Tings!

*shakes head* :soak:

I don't know what the big deal is. People posting rebuttal after rebuttal....

I love how people complain how everything is the same... then complain again when something is changed. It's a New Year's Eve party. Shows can't be the same every year. I say give credit to Twisted for trying something new and different to offer the people a variety of entertainment.

Go there... enjoy the show... ring in the New Year with friends. If not, stay at home and watch the tube as Dick Clark counts down. :hehe:

The End....

you can please some of the people all of the time but you can't please all of the people even some of the time.... or sumthin like that.

i won't be in attendance.
new years = drunken good times
plaza party = inability to drink while having a good time

actually, at Fusion Dreams, the echo was very mnimal in my opinion.. and the sound was VERY crisp n clear.
so i believe the sound n echo can be worked on... just if the sound guys know what their doin... and whether the good equipment's bein used... or not.

Finally a breaks headliner at Plaza in the main room! I've seen it at USC and it rocks. You'll be surprised how many ppl begin to enjoy new forms of music when there forced to listen to it.

Woot! I've never seen it happen and if my plans fall through I will attend.

Time for all you trance heads to see some real dancing. I can only imagine the size of the breaker circle in the main room. Breaker Breaker 1-9 Clear the Line!

I would have to respectfully disagree with you on that one. The sound and the video solely depends on the setup of the speakers, and the size of the video screens. At IMF, you could see everything from far away when you had the DJ cam going.
Trust me, I was backstage teching the video for a lil while... and then did tests on it...

I think it will fly.

Thia is not the first time a breaks headliner played main room plaza, Baby Anne played main room at 2fresh. She also played main rook coliseum at nasty and it sounded pretty good from what i remember.

I was really surprised by all the negative responses to Swamp on the main stage -- but I don't think we are going to change anything. As most of you know I don't post on this forum, or any other for that matter, very often. But in this case, I want to make a point. Anyone remember Magic Mountain back in 2001? That was the first time I saw DJ Swamp -- and from someone who has been spinning for 7 years now -- he is the most talented DJ I have EVER seen, and he played on the MAIN STAGE.

I don't think there are many in Vancouver that can say they are a bigger Trance proponent / fan than myself, seeing as how for years other promoters put all types of music in the main room, and that it was Twisted that continually made the main room at the Plaza of Nations an exclusive Trance / Hard House stage. In saying all that, trust me when I say that Swamp in the main room is going to be off the hook, especially on New Year's Eve.

For all you of who think that they are die-hard trance fans and won't come out because of a 1 - 1.5 hour SHOWMANSHIP (not breaks / jungle) set by Swamp, then your missing out. And for those who say that the sound is going to suck with breaks in the main room -- well believe me when I say that when Expo 86 was devised and the architect designed that building, he wasn't thinking about either breaks or trance or raves being in there for that matter. There will still be 8.5 - 9 hours of Trance in that room, so don't be babies.

Hope to see you out....

Azim
can i have your autograph???

Thanx kriag :cake:
