British Dee Jay’s Down Under

Posted in Disco Discourse on February 28, 2009 by lately

I remember this time in 1993 when Ob1, and some family from ChCh came over to Sydney and we ‘went out’ mannnnnnn, dropped **** and hopped in a taxi on the way to ravvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee baby. Well, we broke out the ****** in the taxi and the cab driver—after a few tokes, started to try and run people down. Anyway… get to the rave destination, and it was a hoax.

Rave scene meant money for promoters/not summer of love. British Dee Jay’s come over to NZ and OZ after the London audience dwindle… more so in OZ. A good Dee Jay scene is a jaded Dee Jay scene. Thats right, attitude right now. ‘Direct from UK’ ? Hype.

Liam G did nit rate this record. I beg to differ.

Regarding Sunday last 22nd Feb

If it’s true that 90’s may ‘come-back’ ‘do a re-run’ ‘get hacked’ like 80’s and 70’s, then what may be different or at least can be different? Some blogs point the way… like what blogs Woody? Hey, dig your own hole.

It’s a good thing that The Prodigy new album sounds like The Prodigy of old… I mean wouldn’t it be good to hear The Rolling Stones do another Beggars Banquet ?

The rave from the early ninties still outweighs any dance music made from ‘98 onwards_French dance aside. As parrrrt of the ‘Dance Music Is Dead’ series all recent ‘dance Music’ from the last 10 years is devoid of politic and innovation—yes—even dub-step [here we break out the 'shut up and dance' series]. Check your head for early Adam and Eve, early Force Inc, All early Edge & Rabbit City records, early Rob Playford ‘Formation records’.

What is a Sound System? Who is calling themselves a Sound System? Where is the Tackhead Sound System

What was the Valve Sound System? No matter what Wikipedia describes, if the tracks are not mixed live or there is no specialist rig.
How it be a Sound System? 

********************’ does not always guarantee a better frequency eh Aotearoa…

Plalist for Sunday 8th

Todays set-list spanned The Chemical Bros to the Cramps
to Mia to Adrian Sherwood, sharing a common
denominator of furthering their genre in some
sonic way…  and in another way ZiggyRemixed.
