CTW Members BenRW Posted September 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 for a night in london on the last friday in october email me on benrostwood@yahoo.com for the address to send it to the night is going to start more down tempo and then build up into harder music so all types of music from prog to the hardest hard house are wanted. But remember you will be expected to play a similar style of set to your demo cd the best demos will get an hour long set on the night please send in your entries asap as the line-up will be arranged as soon as i can looking forward to listening to them (sorry if this is the wrong forum) Quote I was going to post a gag about flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality but it's just flogging a dead horse.

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted September 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 Interesting music policy. I'm all for a bit of variety, but how many people do you know who like everything from prog to hard house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members betty boop Posted September 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 LiquidEyes I have heard a couple of djs who within there sets, try to fit a few different genres. A good example is a london based dj called TinTin, he fits in his sets a bit of everything, from prog trance to old skool, to hardcore etc etc, not really my thing as I find it to be to over the plkace, but lots like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members BenRW Posted September 6, 2004 Author CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 i know a few people who like it. tho i'm not looking for it all in one set. it will start prog and each dj will further it on in style. I for one am annoyed at small nights where the first dj is caning it out at stupidly fast and hard, and the nights with more people dancing earlier are when it starts a bit more downtempo Quote I was going to post a gag about flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality but it's just flogging a dead horse.

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted September 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 Betty, I quite agree. I am more of an advocate of variety than most. I spin anything from deep house to techno to trance to drum & bass... I'm just saying, it will be interesting to see how well that will work from a commercial perspective. Of course you can mix genres within a set, but there's got to be some sensible limit to keep it coherent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members betty boop Posted September 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 yes, this is probably why I find it hard to really get into a mixed genre set, as I find it too choppy changy and all over the place. It confuses me, which is not hard to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It confuses me, which is not hard to do Personally I think The Gallery has a good policy -- starting with funky/proggy house and working up to trance and techno. But it is a steady progression, and the music is coherent -- it's all underground, credible stuff. I think your average 'prog' head would have a bit of a problem with 'the hardest hard house', and vice versa with hard house heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members betty boop Posted September 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 well, I love the hard stuff but also like the progessive too LiquidEyes. Sasha and Digweed are awesome, bedrock is a great night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but we're not in the majority. It isn't just about the actual difference between the genres, it's about the elitism and "them and us" culture.

CTW Members betty boop Posted September 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 it is only like that if you allow it to be All music in my opinion is excellent and although not many of us are lucky enough to appreciate it all, we should never knock others for there choice I think, but in saying that we do hahha It is all to easy to say *oh thats is crap* and forget that one genre maybe crap to our ears but to another's it is heaven. oh shit tangent, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted September 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 I agree with the spirit of what you're saying, but I still don't think progressive and "the hardest of hard house" are a great combination! Like it or not, they are VERY different scenes. Not everyone is as open-minded as you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted September 6, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted September 6, 2004 I also like rock music and classical music, but I wouldn't want to hear them on the same night out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone is as open-minded as you! nope agree, we are not all the same, be rather boring I guess if we were eh But it should be about the music end of the day, but we are all aware it goes deeper etc Can you imagine havin it on the dance floor to say Paul Glazby and he dropped a Vivaldi autumn in his set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTW Members Claire DC Posted November 20, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted November 20, 2004 Have to agree with LE here.. be diverse in the music as much as you can get away with BUT you stil have to think of compatibility too. May not be what you want but if its what makes the night a success and fills the place up with people who will enjoy and stay for ALL the night then so be it.
