I was wondering if anyone else attended the Incredible Warp Lighthouse Party, or any other such perfect evenings |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The last ATP sounds like the perfect gig/festival to me. Haven't been at any of them, though |

Rephlex Disco Assault System Dead Granny gig Dublin, 2001 Had to be seen to be believed - Cyclob, RDJ, Mike Dred, Maddog Wallace - A big braindacne party on-stage - RDJ played tons of squarepusher - Cylob dressed up as a banana the whole time - Japanese schoolfgirls with pigtails on stage THE WAY IT OUGHT TO BE |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Would've loved to be there... I'd murder to see Coil alone, never mind everyone else! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there were japanese schoolgirls at the lighthouse party as well... with cool inflatable chairs! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i went to the lighthouse party. i cant agree that it was the best gig ever im afraid. the set-up was a bit shit, ie no cloakroom, stupidly strict secuirty and bad organisation in the main room. the line-up though was incredible. the only big warp person not there was squarepusher if i remember correctly! bogdan was the hightlight for me, by a long way. afx realy put a downer on things with his shit set at the end, he could have blown everyone away with an amzing set but chose to annoy lots of people with noise and a set which didnt get going. but thats my opinion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loved Richards set... met him afterwards when he was being hassled by security... did you see that? It was quite badly organised though, remember they sent out an apology mail the next day? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree and more. it was freezing fucking cold...and the bar ran out of beer at 12.30....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, and all they had at the bar was shitloads of Red Stripe... weird |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and boards may a well just put on a cd....cool visuals though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

my favourite gigs (hard to pick just one) are: the warp 10th birthday show with boc, ae, mira calix, []pusher and afx (amazing line up and mental strobes) rephresh at the end with afx, ovuca and i dont remember who else. total jungle madness, great club aswell. nesh party at the electrowerkz, one of the last ones they held i think, again with afx and ovuca and mira calix playing quality jungle till 6am. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly... I was very dissapointed with BOC... Push Button Objects/Prefuse73 were highlights... and meeting Rich and Bjork |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ScenarioDr: All the Nesh and Refresh nights I went to were sick! Especially Luke Vibert/AFX special appearances |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
didnt see afx getting hassled. did see bjork wondering around though. my friend who is a massive bjork fan tried to speak to her but bjork just ignored her. bit rude i think but in a way you cant blame her. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats strange about Bjork... she was very nice to me and didn't have any bodyguards or anything... she looked amazing dancing like a lunatic to Andrea Parkers set! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only went to one nesh, it was superb though, wish i had gone to more. me and my mate were a lil bit, shall we say worse for wear, and ceephax saw us and tried to do our heads in, he started sayin something about going to see a scenario doctor to help him sort out the scenario etc etc (hence my board name!!) me and my mate walked off a lil confused! I went to, i think four of the rephresh nights, the first one was the best, i enjoyed them all though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sound sweet... my top Refresh moment would be spending an entire evening trying to pluck up the courage to talk to AFX who was standing next to me all night! He wasn't sposed to play, but dropped one track really late that tore the shit out of everything else all night |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at the first rephresh (where he was playing, one of the best sets i've seen by him) he was talkin to the dj by that lil dj box in the middle of the main room. we had just drunk a bottle of absinth between us and were a lil bit trashed. my mate mike went up to him and tried to buy him a drink from the bar, but wot he thought was the bar was actualy the dj box, both afx and the dj looked quite confused! we left him alone after that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had a really similar experience with Luke Vibert... I was chatting to him and offered to buy him a drink... so we went to the bar, he gave me a fist full of coins, and then when I placed my order, the bar had just closed! We kinda ran out of shit to talk about after that, and he went somewhere else with Howie B! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never spoken to luke vibert, but my friend has and said he was a realy to bloke, realy friendly. i've been to quite a few things where afx has been there and hasnt been playing and he gets constant hassle, must be a bit annoying i think, but at least he doesnt seem to go into vip areas that much, guess he likes the attention! i wish warp and rephlex would start up regular nights again, they were sweet. sayin that, im up in glasgow at the moment, so its a way to travel! not as far as south africa i guess ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How do you think I feel mate, I'm all the way in South Africa, and it costs shitloads to go on London excursions. Luke was nice though... very friendly... very stoned! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the Hackney Warp Rave 2001 was fucking sweet too. Vibert and RDJ dj´d togther for hours ripping it up with jungle and absolutely crazy realtime MC sampling. K Rock was the Mc and he fucking didn´t know what was going on with his voice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just missed that bya couple of days... Who's that mad little short dude that's always with AFX? Any idea? He looks like a mini-afx, but is a totally cool guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i went to that one aswell! yet another great night! was very impressed by apc, repuhreshing to see some actual "live" performance. plaid, as always were realy good, despite the fact they had technical problems. mark bell also was very good. but yeah, the best part of the night was afx & luke vibert! you realy cant beat a bit of jungle! the little dude whos always with afx is k-rock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've only seen ovuca and then astrobotnia (same dude but first time was some years ago) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep.. Mark Bell was cool too. Ovuca was absolutely perfect as an opener for the Rephlex tour here last year....... chilled beats before Bogdans drunken craziness and RDJ´s guaranteed mayhem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've seen him as both aswell, good aint he? he doesnt seem to play anything off his albums. at dedbeat this year he played a realy good set, not very danceable but amazing to listen to, constanly mutating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i really enjoyed him.. he is live here on saturday again.. really hypnotising. oh i forgot that i saw brothomstates and jimi tenor as well but they didn't rock too much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any idea what that mad software was that AFX was using? Do you remember him playing 'Take on me' by AHA? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've seen some really good techno acts as well.. adam beyer, jeff mills and surgeon (and i'm going to see king crimson on sunday) i'm feeling talkative, sorry for the babble. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you need to get over to london, seems to be where most of the best gigs are. sad but true. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tell me about it. i only get the finnish stars. when i was in london i was too young to gig :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"and i'm going to see king crimson on sunday) " fuck me!... i saw those old dudes on BBCs "Old Grey whistle Test" last week and they are fucking great! this year Nils Peter Malvar and ATP of course were the highlights |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shame :( yeah, they're european tours seem a lil few and far between aswell. do you get good local braindance though? sadly i've missed some good gigs since being up in glasgow, eg squarepusher last friday which all me mates went to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw some info on that SP gig at WATMM. He played bass over "dinotane", palyed a Redhotcar-like but "better" tune ANd "Journey to Redham"... yay! I saw him last year here. Encored with "Cmon my selector" after stretching out every inch of "my fucking sound"... nuff said! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is no local braindance here, just some scattered gigs.. more electro/techno/ambient stuff psytrance and progressive house are the thing up here at the moment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"psytrance and progressive house" ?sounds nasty, you have my sympathy :) but hey, you got astrobotnia on saturday so it aint all bad! Key: yeah my mates told me he broke out the bass guitar, I've yet to witness that, heres hoping for glasto! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah and he is playing in a street conquering party where we get to close a street in helsinki and have a good time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, thats sounds cool! i take it hes pretty big round your way then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the fucker misses Sonar 2001 and now does a London gig for the 10th aniversary!??? I only went to Sonar2001 to see him and RDJ! Bastard! Glasto sound slike the gig of the year. Happy fence hopping. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn... if only i had cash/IDM artists would come here... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really wanna see sp live someday then i can die happily |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well umm not really. people don't necessarily know he is also ovuca. but moderately popular. bstates is a much more popular. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway him and his gf looked like very nice persons. but i didn't dare to talk to them more than 'thanks for a great gig' (neetta blushes and runs out) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh no, those days are behind me! i thought it was about time i payed for a ticket! sadly a lot of the warp stuff clashes with radiohead, but squarepusher only clashes with moby...hmmm tuff choice.. sonar is looking very cool this year though, much better than last year when i went. on one of the nights you have bjork followed by mark bell followed by afx, now that is a sweet line-up, and hellfish too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like he plays a lot there though?! haha, one of my female friends always swoons over him when she sees him, think he wants to have his babies!! he seems like a very quiet character from what i have seen though, hanging around at the edges of gigs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well there was one gig some weeks ago and now there will be another. last time before that i heard him jan2001 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well heres hoping hes getting ready for another release! I got to get my hands on astrobotnia 1, its the only release of his i dont have, dont seem to see it in shops now though. i know hes doing a tour of the uk in november with bogan, thats too far off though :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dedbeat 2 was brilliant especially bogdan and rdj's dj set. i'm hoping sonar will be the best ever though. only a week to go now. i'm sure you can get astrobotnia 1 off warpmart. its definately still around in the shops anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, dedbeat 2 was a good'un! that was when afx played in the afternoon yeah? the other two dedbeats were great aswell, i think this years was the best so far imo. much better venue and the inclusion of the Mu gang was a very good idea! heres looking forward to dedbeat 4! |
