Anyone selling tickets to the Friday show of Thievery Corporation? They're sold out and I need 1 ticket. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks!

i know pete tong's done a lot for the music industry, but i saw him spin twice at last year's WMC at Opium Garden and he was unbelievably disappointing. He'd play really cheesey music and wouldn't even mix it. if he did mix it, he'd only mix it for 15 seconds, tops. i was expecting more. is he always like this?

I've noticed that Roxy's been getting one big name DJ after another...just like when Twilo was open. But I'm wondering, is the crowd now the same as it was before? I know just this past summer most of the kids that go there were bridge and tunnel kids who all looked the same (spikey hair, sleeveless shirt, shades...etc.). Has the crowd become more diverse now, and is there also a dress code these days? By the way, $40 advanced tickets to see these DJs??? Please...

probably not...americans are just too different from europeans. also, the US is so big that it's difficult for electronic music to spread everywhere. and if underground electronic music were to be shown on MTV, it would certainly lose it's underground status. I think i like electronic music to stay relatively underground because it wouldn't be as influenced by money as the pop bands you see on MTV. i like the music pure with no politics.

Sup guys, Just want to let you know that there's a new Wednesday night party at Downtime called Frequency. No big name DJs yet...only local talent and a bunch of guys who are just sick of all the politics involving dance music. We're just there to have a good time and dance to really diverse sets of electronic music. It'll be a lot of trance (older style...not the cheese that's out now), breakbeat, progressive, and house. Cover is $5 18 to enter, 21 to drink no dress code 251 W. 30th St. btw 7th & 8th Ave. It's a really chill atmosphere so I hope you guys come check it out and support the music that you love. Peace

Hey, Anyone out there know of a bunch of dance music sites with streaming video?? I need help...thanks!

Is the club still bring people in on the weekends, or is it already dying?

Anyone go to see Dirty Vegas at Roxy last night? I missed it, so I don't know how it went. Any reviews?

check out the track listing on amazon.com or it may even be available in that link that i gave.

Just picked up his new CD, Live on Brighton Beach and I can clearly say that Norman Cook is the man! He never disappoints me! Pick it up now!! Or...if you're still not sure and wanna see a cool video from Brighton Beach, check out this site that I found... http://www.soulkool.com/projects/fatboyslim/ecard/fbs.htm

Did that e-card give you links to all those places?

Yo, check this out! A friend of mine works at Ministry of Sound and he gave me the link to this Fatboy Slim E-card for his new CD. It's pretty sick...more record labels should have this for their releases! http://www.soulkool.com/projects/fatboyslim/ecard/index.htm Can't wait till the CD comes out!

...for one night, where would you go?? I have many places in mind, but I think one would truly be a unique and intense experience... The full moon parties at Koh Phangan, in Thailand!! I will have to make it out there in the next couple years.

Wusup guys, Fatboy Slim's new CD, Live on Brighton Beach is coming out soon! If you are a big fan of Fatboy Slim and want to promote this new CD, please email me: MikeLac01@yahoo.com Or you can just go to www.soulkool.com. Click on the Fatboy Slim icon, and then click on "Join Street Team" If you have questions, please email me anytime! Peace, Mike

how did this turn into a Tony Draper thread??? He's not worth talking about.

Oh damn! Phuturphunk just disected that site! Assuming that this is a corporate scheme to market the drink, do you think that Coca-cola's reputation has been hurt, and that it will lose consumers because people aren't falling for VCoke?

Just curious...what do you see in this vclounge.com site, or any site for that matter, that gives off a corporate smell. I know there are a lot of those sites out there, but which ones are real and which ones aren't?

I don't know...supposedly it's different from vanilla coke. That's the the people said on the vclounge message board. But yeah, what's with all the flavors? I prefer regular coke.

Has anyone heard of a new drink called VCoke? I keep seeing these cards that say VCoke, with a site address, www.vclounge.com. Kinda weird site, cuz this guy is trying to screw around with his own coke drink, but he's working for Coca-cola. Crazy shit if this is true.

I'm there!

I love that song, Godd!! Gets me so pumped up. The music video is pretty cool too...a badass cartoon!

I was walkin around the East Village last night and came across a black card that said "Dirty Vegas 1 800 353 6584." I called the number and this really sexy automated voice picks up and says something like, "Thank you for calling the Dirty Vegas hotline!" Yummy! Then it starts playing "Days Go By." Pretty cool stuff! Has anyone else called this number?

Sup guys, Anyone know where I can find out about major concerts and musical events (electronic music, rock, etc.) for this month and also June? Is there a good site for this kind of info? thanks mike

Sucks that people can't appreciate a wide array of electronic dance music. People are so focused on finding the next "underground" genre...or the next big thing, that when they think they found it, they drop everything else and try to be an elitist in that genre. Please, just enjoy the music...plain and simple. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it's also important to have an open mind. Techno, house, trance, progressive, breaks, dnb, ambient....they're all creative forms of musical expression. And, each genre has its own unique way of getting that message across, whatever it may be. Personally, I hate it when a DJ sticks to one style in his entire set. I'd prefer to hear someone sping breaks, house, trance, techno all in one night. To me, that's what taking the crowd on a musical journey means.

I thought the night was OK, and not anything special. Very progressive sets from Jody and Nick Warren. But I was hoping they'd diversify their sets a little more, just like the way their original productions are. I was hoping to hear some breaks from them, but I never heard one song that was all breaks. Jody spun some very bassy tracks...made my ass vibrate so much! Then Nick Warren came back on at 5am and played some pretty hard tracks. Both guys played some great vocal tracks too. But, overall, it seemed to just fall short of a musical journey to me. Is it me or do all DJs seem to be hooked on the progressive movement? I have nothing against it (many of my records are progressive) but many of them seem to have similar styles now. Or are there just not enough quality records out there?
