okay, here's what i'm doing
I am going to arrange a little monthly competition, and i am rounding up participants. Nothing is settled, so I'm still looking for input on how to make this work just right. But here's the deal.
I want this to go off on a Saturday afternoon, starting maybe around 2 or 3. I can get the lep for it, or it can be anywhere. It's to be a head to head loop production/mixing competition. Here's how I see it. Suggestions are welcome.
Rules of the game.
-Each producer has 4 loops/patterns to beat his component with.
-Only 1 pattern may be used for each turn
-Turn order is decided by a coin toss, and the winner of the toss can choose to go first, or second.
-your gear will be plugged into 1 channel of a 2 channel mixer
-first player will be given a set amount of time to play a pattern
-second player will have to beat match and mix into his pattern
-players will alternate for 4 turns each, without duplicating a pattern.
-crowd decides the winner.
-there will be time limits for mixes, and loop playing.
Requirements
-you are allowed (expected) to bring prepared loops/patterns
-there will be two levels to compete at, novice and advanced.
-your equipment must be rigged and ready to plug into a line level left/right phono input.
-computers/laptops are allowed
-you cannot play a prerecorded song, all music must be generated live on the spot.
basically, what I am hoping for is live jamming on loops, rather than just playing a repeated pattern. Of course, it's mainly a case of letting the crowd be the judge of what's best.
I think this could be fun, and I think it would be great to get all the home producers together once a month to compete, talk shop, and hopefully come away with some bragging rights.
now
who's interested?
who's got suggestions?

Justin Nichols Bio
Having worked as a club DJ, retail manager, distribution guy and A&R exec, Justin Nichols has done just about every job possible in the dance music industry. Now he's taking his career in a new direction. With his Mojolators project poised to blow up worldwide, he's ready to begin his assault on dance floors as a producer and remixer.
With only a brief discography, Justin Nichols and the Mojolators are already refining a house sound that pleases DJs across the 4/4 spectrum. From his Brooklyn studio, Nichols pastes together samples and live instruments to make music that takes in everything from jazz to techno. His music is party music, plain and simple -- and it works a crowd to devastating effect.
Always sniffing out fresh talent, the UK's mighty Defected label snatched up the Mojolators for a three EP deal in Spring 2001, signing Nichols to their underground-focused sister imprint Fluential. They also gave the Mojolators remix duty on Knee Deep's "I'll Be There For You." Considering Defected's past success breaking Hatiras, Paul Johnson, ATFC and Eddie Amador, the Mojolators could well be the next underground act to crossover.
The Mojolators first made their mark in 2000 with their monstrous debut 12", "Drifting'/To The Music", released by Chicago's esteemed Moody Records. With its thick house beats, hypnotic Rhodes piano loop and filtered vocals, this record was a smash -- hammered by top DJs across the globe and licensed for mix CDs by Pete Tong, DJ Dan and the UK's Grant Nelson. Nichols ended 2000 on a strong note, with his "Carnival" 12" on Catalyst records getting another great response.
Now in 2001, "Drifting'" still lives on. Look for the Mojolators to attack the charts with a red-hot vocal version due on Portent Records in summer 2001. Tipped by the BBC as one of the biggest tunes from the 2001 WMC and getting play from the top UK DJs, "Drifting'" appears headed for crossover success and endless Ibiza memories.
In the states, Nichols is setting up his own label, Club Recordings, with roommate and fellow producer Jason "Jinx" Zambito. Nichols plans to launch the label with a co-production by the two bosses before moving on to solo productions and work by other producers. He also keeps a busy DJ schedule, traveling coast to coast to drop sets ranging everywhere from deep house to bangin' Chicago tracks.

peter likes it on his knees
i found this record in a bin of cast-offs at decadance
it's the one record I had to play on the phazon, but wouldn't put in my set... so i turned it up REAL loud before they opened... it was blissful.

Hey guys... just a little heads up. In light of the dismal economy, the Leopard Lounge has implemented the Recession Special. One night a week they'll be selling drinks at 1/2 price to anyone who can prove they are jobless!
Well, it can't hurt right?
This week, the special will be taking place on Friday. If you are out of work, come by, prove it, and drink 1/2 price all night. That's $3 a drink
just ask matty (the bartender) or me about it.
oooh, and friday's gonna be good too:

alright... any trance heads up in this piece... tonight promises to be a fucking trance fest.
Vic has promised to get all German on our asses.
