i didnt hear him at the south west 40 when i was there. i think he was on the same time as van dorn. the festival overall was great
Indeed it was a good day. That is, until it absolutely bucketed it down with rain just as Carl Cox came on and I was stood in only a t-shirt like a drowned rat.
Highlight for me was the crowd going absolutely nuts when Sander K played "This is London" - so simple a track, but so effective in the setting.
-
I saw him at Pacha in Ibiza and the whole set was pretty much dark minimal. If you are into that then definitely go see him.
Maybe I'm getting genres mixed up, but I'd say the 2nd cd of the latest Viva cd is minimal and pretty sure he didn't play anything like that when I saw him both times recently.
Also fairly sure the filthy version of The Wall (Eric Prydz vs vs Pink Floyd - Proper Education) he played at either SW4 or Pacha (can't remember which) couldn't be described as minimal?
Anyway, whatever his style is I like it and would recommend it to anyone who likes it a little dirty and techy (how I'd describe him).
-
from what I hear he spins all minimal now. I have a few sets at home and all minimal. Some really good tracks and some that go no where.
I'm not really into all these putting DJs into buckets of music genres, but pretty sure Lawler isn't all minimal?
Played the second best set of the day behind Sander Kleinenberg at the SW4 festival in London back in August and a great set at Pacha, Ibiza a couple of weeks ago when I was over.
Really not convinced by his latest cd (1st one is ok, 2nd one is admittedly bleepy minimal rubbish), but live he has been great in my opinion.
Maybe he'll play different for NY, but I'd recommend seeing him for sure.

fuk this guy never even heard of him
We heard you the first time thanks.
I think everyone was probably being kind by not calling you an ill informed idiot, but to post the same stupid note on the same thread is just verging on the naive.
If you haven't heard of James Zabiela then either go take a listen and then feel free to comment if you don't like him or alternatively stfu and continue listening to whatever inane rubbish that you do like.

some of their stuff was ok?
There predicted to be the next grateful dead...
I personally went to see them in canada for 3 shows, and met people from Ireland to detroit, all over the world to see this band.
This is a video i took of a pre-set he did in Toronto of " Porch " before the opening band comes out..Gives you an idea what he alone just could bring to the table...also later on that night Bono came on stage and sang " Rockin In The Free World " with the band. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8840261687453743061&q=pearl+jam
Just to throw it at you, this week was Pearl Jam 15th Anniversary of being a band.
I'm not sure I understand - is being hyped as the new Grateful Dead a good thing??
The fact they have been around for 15 years means little when you consider most people haven't heard anything from them for much of the past 10 years.
Each to their own I guess, but when in years to come people discuss bands that influenced a period of time in music and made a difference, I find it much more likely that people will be talking about Nirvana and not Pearl Jam.

I think the move would be to get advanced tickets for lawler and ride the free ride to hear nic and sander .. last time lawler didnt go on till 2am .. but then again he was done before 7am ..
Those were my exact thoughts, but wasn't sure when you could get into Crobar for free? What time is until and is it guestlist only?
-
Maybe - bit torn between this and Lawler.
I don't suppose anyone has any idea of set times - what time would Nic be playing?
-
bro, ur not reading wat i said......... i never compared Ultra parties to any of the BOO events, those are obviously 2 different parties and they are uncomparable, what i was sayin was if they had Ultra Ny where they had the BOO events (randalls island) it would have been much better size wise and in terms of more people comin to it, and hopefully once it gets to the point where it becomes a major event in NY they'll think of doin it at Central Park (the sheep meadow) where they had the Dave Mathew's concert
Didn't Cream try to bring Creamfields to NY the other year (can't remember where that was going to be held), but ticket sales were weak, so they had to cancel it?
Starting off at this scale was the sensible thing to do based on that result - things can always grow and get bigger and better next year.
-
did you not get let in?
I had no gel nor A/X or Diesel clothes on, maybe they just had the idiot detector on at the gates, and that stopped him?

How Was Mylooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?
Unfortunately only got to play 2 tracks due to technical issues - most disappointing part of the event.
-
As somebody who has been to festivals all over Europe I can't believe how shoddy this one was. The organisation was miserable and who ever Ultra got to take care of the sound should be shown to the guillotine. Timo Mass, Mylo and Oakenfold all spoiled by a messed up sound system, that's unforgivable. But fair play to those of you in the tents I couldn't take the heat in those ovens, too much for me. Still The Chemical Brothers saved the day, what a stellar performance. They were in a class of their own.
I can't believe there are good reviews for this mess and i can only assume that those of you who thought it was great were:
a) Thirteen and happy to be out of Mummies sight for 5 minutes.
So wasted on pills you might as well have been at a line dancing event.c) Your first festival and nothing to compare it to.
I have a stinking suspicion that © is the winner, which is very sad. Maybe next year they will fix the mistakes and give a festival worthy of the city, they sure have a lot to make up for.
I've been to a bunch of festivals back in the UK, and you're right in saying that compared to them, this wasn't exactly well run (slight understatement). Not really acceptable for them to have such major technical issues for the whole evening.
However, I'd go for option (d) - take it as a great Chemical Brothers gig with some decent support acts in the tents. The Ultra tent was extremely hot, but bearable for half an hour at a time. I have no qualms about paying $50 for last night's headline performance though.
-
I thought I was going to have to eat my words after all the screwing around for Mylo - very disappointed I didn't get to see a whole set from him.
Still, it allowed me the chance to catch Danny Tenaglia for the first time (not sure why I've never got around to it before) and the good times started from there.
Then, the Chemical Brothers arrived..........
The sound at the start of the set seemed a little weak, but then all of a sudden it was like somebody turned the volume up to 11, Spinal Tap style, and it just seemed to take off. Absolutely unbelievable! It may just be a knee jerk reaction, but it might well be one of the best live performances I have EVER seen!!
I've seen them a number of times before at various festivals and gigs over the years, but yesterday was just a whole new level. Highlights for me had to be Star Guitar, Surface to Air and Golden Path, but enjoyed the whole set from start to finish - good to hear some of the older tracks.
So, thank you Ultra, come back again - just sort out those technical difficulties and make sure Tom and Ed sign on the dotted line........

i mean you go to Europe and you have events like Trance Energy, Dance Valley, Qbase, Street Parade, Loveparade(street and love parade are free) with dozens of dj's ...etc those are events worth attending
And those events cost considerably more than $60 - the ones back in the UK do anyway.
Apologies if I misunderstood your post, but I would just say that they need to start somewhere, and by getting a couple of very decent live acts and a few decent dj's it's as good a place as any. Why should it just stay in Miami?
And if you always stayed home for fear of the "KTU heads" then you'd never go out......
-
Your on fire today with your well balanced opinions and replies .. a refreshing additioin to the board ..bad day at work, so some of the negativity was annoying me.........
-
ultra miami vs ultra nyc...lets be realistic...apples and oranges folks
Exactly my point - no point complaining that NY's version isn't as big as Miami's
-
Im not putting down pacha one bit, i think its great another big room will open and cater to certain clientle that needs a place like that.
I wouldn't say that Pacha Ibiza or London attract that "certain clientele" or "bad element", so why do you automatically think NY's one will??
I know you're probably not trying to put Pacha down - I'm just playing devil's advocate, as it seems you are so anti-big clubs and always promoting smaller places - which is to your tastes, so fair enough.
Places like Cielo apparently have tricky door policies if you don't go there all the time, so big rooms are where most people feel comfortable going to as they don't have to deal with the door drama of some of the other elitest places in the city.
Like I said before, I guess it is a futile arguement at the moment till it actually opens. But wouldn't it be nice for it to be a success and stop some of these people who live on NY's past glories and are forever going on and on about Twilo etc?
-
WOW........... definitely not goin to this, the lineup looks horrible barely any main headliners, and u have to b kiddin me.... 60 fuckin dollars for this 4,5 hour show?? what a waste !
i mean at least Ultra Miami was worth that much, i went to Sensation White and thats around how much it was worth, but this is just a joke, u only have like a couple of dj's who are wat, gonna probably play an hour each?if they actually had this at the sheep meadow and had different tents and genres of EDM, a mainstage, and around as many dj's as they have in Miami, i would say that would b worth it....... just my 2cents
Nice - another fool moaning about an event before it has even happened.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ultra Miami has been around a few years now, and so is an established event that is part of an overall annual event. Therefore it is much more likely to have a larger and wider ranging line up.
This is an initial stab at doing something similar in NY, and the sooner idiots like you stop complaining and giving events like this a chance the better. If you don't like it, don't come, simple as. I'm sure come Monday you'll be relaying the thoughts of your one friend who just happened to have a bad time on Friday, without ever thinking to actually check it out yourself.
Chemical Brothers will be superb - fingers crossed they play stuff off of Exit Planet Dust and good times will ensue..............
-
i agree with some of silverbulls comments. i hope this new club splits the scene a little bit, and i also hope the club does well. NYC needs it.
i'm not wishing ill will on pacha, but i dont see the need to get all hyped up either.. the club hasn't announced events, we don't know who's spinning, so really at this point we know nothing except, it's erick morillo's club, and a popular euro club brand.
Agreed - until there are some announcements over residents, events etc, there is little to get worked up about. I just found it odd that people were bashing it before it had even opened.
-
It seems like many people have already decided Pacha is going to be a huge failure over here? Sad state of affairs if you ask me, when one of the biggest clubbing brands from overseas gets absolutely no support or respect over here.
Pacha Ibiza and the one back home in London are both superb, and it probably says more about NY as a city than the club itself if it doesn't work out.
Maybe it will turn out to be a nightmare, and full of the "bad element" of NY clubbing, but I think maybe rather than shooting it down before it's even opened, people should be looking forward to a new larger club hopefully bucking the trend and turning out to be good?
I guess we'll wait and see what happens..........
-
i see you're from newcastle..
i can't belive you signed owen
-sincerely
a bitter reds supporter...
Don't worry about it, Rafa knows what he's doing. Although I am sure Owen will do great up there, we can't warrant paying 6M+ more than we sold him for last year.
Cisse will come good, as long as he stops throwing his toys out of the pram.......

Bully me some more. This board is boring, to me, without me being insulted.
Funny, that's the kind of thing he used to say, and thus why people used to carry on bullying him?
I didn't actually say I bullied him or that I was going to bully you? Just that your inane ramblings and continual search for people to dance to early 90s music with you and numerous mentions of THAT club reminded me of this kid who would talk non-stop rubbish all day - he had some sort of attention seeking disorder I think.
And before you ask, no thanks I don't want to check out your website or download any of your mp3.
-
he's been posting the same threads on another board. given the treatment he received over there, i think he would have learned. I guess not.
He reminds me of a guy who I used to go to school with........he was bullied.
-
What was Morillo's set like in Spain. Different than his NYC sets I imagine?
Heard him in Puerto Banus - very good. I'd say much housier than when I heard him play last in the US (last Thanksgiving).
It was also at a smallish venue with the dj "booth" set up right on the dancefloor, so great atmosphere and felt as if he was part of the whole thing rather than being stuck up on a stage out of the way.
So wasted on pills you might as well have been at a line dancing event.
i mean at least Ultra Miami was worth that much, i went to Sensation White and thats around how much it was worth, but this is just a joke, u only have like a couple of dj's who are wat, gonna probably play an hour each?if they actually had this at the sheep meadow and had different tents and genres of EDM, a mainstage, and around as many dj's as they have in Miami, i would say that would b worth it.......
Any Lawler Reviews?
in New York / New Jersey
Posted
Glad it was fun. As I said on the other Lawler thread, was pretty certain he wouldn't be playing minimal, from what I had heard in the last couple of months.
Also agreed about the June 2005 set at Spirit - absolutely class!
