Wow, Paradigm, if that attitude of yours is really true, you might want to stay in your tent during my set at Equinox.
Just a fair warning, so you have no excuse to sling poo on forums later.

Paradigm says: "Friday night.... eck ... what the fuck was that? Seriously can anybody tell me? It started off innocent enough with Wichdokta rocking some prog, but that quickly turned into some Nutek style twilight, and before i had finished dinner it had escalated into something else entirely, before instantly dropping into what i can only assume was the waiting room for a dental office in the 7th level of hell.
Im not sure what it was honestly. More gabber than trance, but not even quite that. Either i was a victim as was the entire event, of a brilliant prank, in which case i salute those responsible, or someone is more interested in antagonizing people, than inviting them to the dancefloor.
When even experienced "dark" producers cant handle it, and need to seek sanctuary in the chill room, the envelope has been pushed to its breaking point.
I offer a congratulations. Not only did the entire party discuss and comment on those frequencies (music is not an appropriate term) for the duration of the weekend, but i think they will continue to do so for a good time to come."
Hmm, well, it seems yr talking about Cindervomit Dave's set here, yes, he does have a name, Lawrence, you don't have to be so light-footed about your demeaning words that you can't even directly address the DJ you are speaking of. Of course, this is your tendency, to completely bash the hell out of people/DJ's/producers on the int3rn3tz and never have the guts to say a thing in person.
Although I was not at Gemini, Cinder sent me a recording of him practicing his mix for the party, which I have been listening to over and over again since I downloaded it. Honestly it is filled with killer, fast trance music, and I normally don't like overly glitchy fast stuff ala Cosmo/Highko etc. But the music Cinder plays is in my opinion, first and foremost, TOTAL DANCEFLOOR MADNESS. Yes, it might be fast, yes, it might make you run out of breath, yes, it might have some spooky atmospheres, but almost every moment of every song is filled to the brim with disgustipating, fat dance beats.
I even played Cinder's mix in the office I work at, which is filled with totally normal people in Las Vegas. One of my coworkers actually stopped what she was doing and came over to ask what-the-hell the music was, because she LOVED it. That's right, someone totally uninitiated with trance music, who I've tried to play plenty of lighter fodder for, was COMPLETELY TURNED ON TO TRANCE MUSIC via Cinder's insane DJ mix. If that doesn't speak highly for the value of his music, I don't know what does. And no, she's not into gabber music.
Actually, to call it gabber is the most hilariously shallow interpretation possible. Just because it's four-on-the-floor kicks at a high bpm does NOT make it gabber. The presence of clean leads and percussion plus the undeniable trance bassline makes it pretty obvious what genre of music it is that Cinder plays. Paradigm, you speak of there not even being any good full-on for the full-on DJ's to play, and here is a sub-genre of trance you are literally totally uninitiated with filled with tons of new and creative artists who have a punk-rock ethos towards production and sound aesthetic.
Personally these days I have found myself dancing to everything from Kiva and Earthling to Cindervomit. It's all killer trance man. To enclose the wild, reptilian sound of Cinders into a closed, indoor space, is already enough of an insult to the man, who came all the way from Georgia to take you into his dental office in Hell. Why must you hate upon him?? And do you really not have the guts to go up to him in person, when you have the chance, and share your opinion as elaborately as you have on this silly internet-forum?! |

oh my god atlanta ruined the party hahaha you guys keep doing what you do and do it further than people are willing to accept.... and heres where i flip my jerk switch.....
IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO SEGREGATE THEN EXAILE US WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION ELSEWHERE WHERE WE ARENT PESTERED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE ANTI-EXPANSION. WHEN YOU BLOW UP ANYTHING IT EXPANDS IN ALL DIRECTIONS. IF YOU DONT WANT IT TO EXPAND TO THE LEFT THEN YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE WILLING TO NOT ALLOW IT TO EXPAND IN ANY OTHER WAY...
If YOU ARENT WILLING TO BE OPEN TO NEW WAVES AND NEW INFLUENCES YOU WILL EVENTUALLY DROWN IN YOUR INERTIA.
PEOPLE ALWAYS FORGET THAT ITS NLY: IMPORTANT TO BE ACCEPTING OF THINGS YOU DONT YET UNDERSTAND.
SO REALLY IM FED UP. IF TRANCE DOESNT WANT US THEN WHY DO WE KEEP KNOCKING ON ITS DOOR ASKING IF IT CAN PLAY. MAYBE WE WILL STOP KNOCKING AND GO FIND FREEDOM THROUGH A NEW TRIBE.
IM NOT GONNA TRY TO CONVINCE ANYONE ANYMORE THAT THEY SHOULDNT BE SO JUDGEMENTAL OR THAT THEY SHOULD BE OPEN MINDED. FUCK IT FEND FOR YOURSELF.
BUT THIS IS JUST UNECESSARY. BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER AND TO ME BEAUTY IS HAVING TO LEAVE THE DANCEFLOOR. BEAUTY IS SEEING PEOPLE WHO I KNOW HAVE HAD REALLY INTENSE LIVES EXPRESS THEMSELVES. FOR ME I FEEL LIKE IF I DONT THROW MYSELF INTO THE SURF IN THE DARK I WILL NEVER KNOW THAT I CAN SWIM IN THE SURF IN THE DARK WITHOUT DIEING... OR I COULDA GONE BACK TO MY TENT ON THE BEACH AND GOT IN MY WARM BLANKET KNOWING THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A TAD UNCOMFORTABLE TO JUMPP INTO THE OCEAN AT NIGHT BECAUSE ITS DANGEROUS. WELL YOU HAVE TO FACE YOUR FEARS TO REALIZE THERE NEVER WAS ANYTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.. OR YOU CAN LIVE IN FEAR OF WHAT YOU DONT YET UNDERSTAND.
IM SORRY FOR THE HARSHNESS. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. EITHER WE DIVIDE OR WE SAY FUCK IT WAR IS STUPID. THIS BACK AND FOURTH BETWEEN WHO HAS THE RIGHT PATH TO ASCENSION IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT.
people are so obsessed with classifying everything internally as well as for the masses that they forget to keep searching for newer better ways that fall outside of their current capability or fathoming.
its ok. accept it. go to bed if you dont like it.
people say "sounded like gabber" like its an insult around the trance world, perhaps "it sounded like psytrance" is just as offensive to some.
GOODNIGHT.

as for myself, i think this years Gemini was a most excellent experience, much Thanx to all who showed up with their energy and did their respective thing. The music was phantasmagoric all around, including the scary/spooky/insert useless label here style stuff. imho a true freak out is easier to be achieved when there is present the more balls to the wall styles trance tunes, and this harmonizes nicely with the vibrations of other trance styles . a few photos can be viewed here:

much love & respect, see u all at the next one |

my favorite review ive heard lately from anyone was
from byron in portland in reference to another party...
"The only part of the party that I did not like was that my friends who like dark psy complained about the other stuff until it came on, and then once it came on, all my non-dark psy friends complained about that. "
