i know a few in perth.... haven't met any of them yet. we have a dull scene here in perth too :( |
||||||||

So start a monthly or something at a club that highlights IDM in your area. Do any of your friends DJ or produce "electronica"? |
||||||||
|

Here, here. I'd imagine it's worse in Canterbury than in Leeds though... we have www.v3ctor.com, although the venues are shit and tiny. Went to the ovuca/bogdan gig and RDJ was sitting behind me supping a pint! Considered asking if he wanted to pop outside for a smoke, but don't think I could've taken the pain of a rejection. And he might have heavies to pound me into my respectful place (DMX Krew?). Anyway, made my fucking week that did. True story. |

||||||||
|

|

weird, um there's loads of ppl like it where i live, all my friends like it, some even make their own. my friend just did a live gig of idm at a local pub a coupla weeks back. we even have a kind of collective here for electronica and visual art too. |
||||||||

||||||||

I have ample friendage, but sub par clubbage. We have to make do with electroclash and breaks, which beats the Ritzy at least. |

There should be a huge xltronic club, run by xltronic members where only amazing electronic is played. |

Go for it. You've got nothing to lose (except for time and money, and possibly a limb). |

Love the tower block on the website taffmonster, proper british modernism. High rise council flat chic. What type of production does your mate in Leeds do? Myself and 2 others in Leeds also produce. We're always making vague statements about starting up a night, but it never happens. Leeds: home of LFO. And, erm, Chumbawumba. Sorry. |

yeah but goa kids are going to be easier to convert than progressive trance kids (or metal and hip hop kids for that matter). at least thats what ive seen around here.. souds like your way has already been paved. |

Where do you live Taff? London's pretty good for it. I say "pretty" and what I actually mean is fucking superb. But even Norwich, which is a city of fuckwits, has the occasional monster night. Apparently there's a place called Tiffield, tiny little village of about 150 or so inhabitants, and all of the younguns there are into their IDM, breakcore, glitch and noise stuff. Shitmat was telling me he went to Belgium (before his recent tour, this is) and it was shit despite the fact that the scene is supposed to be alright over there. Then he played a gig in Worthing (where old people go to die) and it was loads better because there were a group of 10 or so pikeys just having it, totally giving in to the music and jumping about punching the air without their T-shirts on. It's a huge global scene but locally it sucks. I spoke to another guy who said the scene in Japan sucks arse, even though they have quality musicians like Ove Naxx, Com.A and Joseph Nothing over there. I suppose it all depends... |

I'm not exactly gagging to hang out with a bunch of ae worshipping geeks myself |

Ah! Canterbury. Know nothing about the place, other than the IDM scene is appauling (or so I've heard)!!! : ) Psytrance, Goa Trance and almost any other kind of trance is not electronica friendly. It's all beardies with dogs on string hand dancing on LSD. Some DnB heads quite like it, and I've met quite a few indie kids who are not only into the accoustic IDM and ambient glitch stuff but also mashcore and stuff. |

|

I'd prefer to hang out with people that are cool and not make stupid assumptions about them based on what music they listen to. (Y) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
im not a geeky autechre fan i only like amber really more into venetian snares BoC aphex apparat shit like that. just would be real nice to say oh ahve u heard the new planet mu release without being looked at like im some sort of satanist talking japanese to a french man |
||||||||

|
|
music is my passion its the thing i like i love my friends but id also like to go out n hang with people with similar intrests and find a place i have an oppertunity to play my tunes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i'm not...i wish. although quinoline yellow used to come in our local record shop, and we did get plaid to do an ickle private gig at our local record shop too on the spokes release date, we also got christ to come down and do a gig at a local pub a few months back too. btw LOLIN at jarworski's avatar. |

Yeah, totally man. Sometimes I drag my mates to gigs. Usually they stand by the side, amused and scared, while everyone else (me included) go bonkers and sideways to the music. The Elektrowerkz Mu/Rephlex/AI xmas thing was enjoyed by all though, cos my mate who was into DnB loved Remarc, my idie mate thought Yellowtone was the dog's bollox and my mate who likes anything as long as it's not too serious thought Shitmat was wicked. You just gotta TELL them they're coming with you and don't accept no as an answer. But make sure to go to a night that's sure to be stonking otherwise they'll hate you forever. |

Dedbeat/ATP are where it's at UK 'tronica wise. Or so I hear... never managed to get my shit together in time to get tickets. What an arse. I'd do a gig at a local pub or whatever, but emo/punk scene the Leeds live gig scene. Don't think it'd go down all that well. "Play some Jimmy Eat World!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I meant to say, emo/punk rules the Leeds live gig scene. But instead I fell on my keyboard. |
||||||||

I'm going to dedbeat tomorrow. Top banana. |

Taff: Was that the year with Vibert, Prodigy, The Streets etc? 2002 I think? I was there too. Eventually made it to the front. Another mate who went for all the hard rock stuff wandered in by mistake and got totally stuck in. Fucking ace just bouncing around everywhere. Where's your uni? There are bound to be bars and stuff who'll let you play. You just have to ask. It doesn't have to be a big thing either. They'll pay you a small amount for you to have fun for a few hours. Doesn't have to be a "Charge to get in" "poster campaign" thing. I'll try to get a crew together and we can all visit you and go mad for a night or summat. |

You lucky equine creature, you. Can you report back what the situation re: weed is? i.e. do they search on entrance, do the staff give a shit. I'm thinking probably not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What set up would you use to do a live laptop set though? Seems to me that, without some advanced software, you'd basically just be playing presequenced files. Would be sweet regardless though. |

i live in Widnes, Cheshire (north west of England) there are about 3 people that i know who listen to braindance/IDM/whatever the fuck you wanna call it. most of the people here are scallies, so my idea for gigging round here would be fucked up by me getting the shit beaten out of me and my equipment stolen on me :( i'm planning on moving to Burton-on-Trent ASAP (where my girlfriend lives) because it seems like people are more open minded about music and culture down there. i just gotta get sorted with a job and accommodation and everything |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i started workin on posters and stuff im gonna give a gig a try and see if people dig it at east i know 3 people who'll come hehe else its just an excuse to play with my synth |

I'm trying to organise some live shows in Newcastle with the musicians I know at the moment. Just get out there and have a fucking laugh. I'm not great at DJing but I mix Mu/Rephlex/Misc Gabber and all kinds of madness. My friends make some mental tracks too so I hope to have them play live. I'll post here when something happens. Oscillik.. There are arseholes everywhere you go. If you're worried about people jumping on the stage just get your mates behind you. I think you will find that most townies will be gob smacked at what you mix however and just get into it, I'm still asked about by some charves who heard me mixing Mokum gabber into Squarepusher and shit at this party. All night my vinyl case was my seat tho. :> |

Spikee Dragon heya mate, haven't seen you on here for a while :) yeah i know there's arseholes around everywhere, but it just seems more-so here :( this place is SO single minded it's fucking pathetic - according to the scallies, if you don't like football, cars, and blatantly proclaiming that the next woman who walks past you is "fuckable", then there's something wrong with you....i hate that kind of mentality. i don't mix by the way, if i was gigging it'd be my own music on my iBook and outboard equipment ;) kid yeah, it seems to be like that when I visit my girlfriend.....i'm due there around the 26th of May.....it's that good it feels like home there! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

spikee... good luck with the gig man i hope it goes well and if so keep doin em spread the idm word hehe |
