starshaped Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Originally posted by dr0ne heheh i wouldnt say "fuck trance" but that lineup for this gods kitchen fest is a little ridiculous its like total trance fest with a bit of uk hard house. wtf??? not even a house or drum 'n bass room....progressive house yes, but then again prog is more trance than house anyway so i still consider it "trance". There are other tents i just missed them out cos they take to much room in my sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeboy Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 well i'm an october baby, and i was introduced to mauro nearly 2 years ago. i'll be turning 22 in october and the last time i tried to see mauro my ride bailed, we were supposed to see him in boston, and d.c., arc is definitely my favorite venue in nyc but... when i went to the grand opening 2 of danny vs. danny it was entirely too hot! the ventilation in there completely sucks since they removed the huge fans, they've got some small ones and some cold smoke system that doesnt really work that well... i really hope they can fix this problem asap before mauro gets here because the crowd he will draw will be HUGE! and arc is not really that big, it would be nice to have some dancing space for mauro... peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeboy Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 relatively speaking i'm new to the entire electronica/clubbing/partying scene, i started when i was 18, and im almost 22 now... so it hasnt been that long... like many many other people i started out going to little raves listening to people such as dj-xdream, pleasurehead, gonzo, dever, micro and so on... quickly my tastes evolved into more commercial named dj's like tiesto oakenfold van dyk and so on.... as i started going to more parties i moved onto the house kick with people like danny tenaglia, howells, deep dish and so on... lately ive discovered minimal techno, and it's such a sick unbelievable style, i'm (almost) bored by everything else... oakenfold doesnt impress me anymore (except for nixon's spirit, which quotes hunter s. thompson) i passed up seeing van dyk twice and didnt care the only people i'd actually go see lately is anyone playing at centro fly and arc, but even then i leave feeling the slightest bit dissatisfied. ive loved picotto for the longest time and really am anxious to see him perform, others i'd kill to see are jeff mills, liebing, oliver lieb, dj rush, dj hell, thomas shumahker(sp?), i even saw hawtin play a killer set that i believe was better than the host, carl cox's, set at the southstreet seaport in the 3rd floor mall... so yea he really killed it... i believe picotto's style is that of an evolved minimal technoist a la hard house via subtle trance melodies... and it works... whatever you call it, his sets are composed of pure energy... i dont think i'd want to stop moving at all... which is why they should fix the damn ventilation system in arc, for my sake and everyone elses... thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjcbebe Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 are we already thinking about October? Wel then ok, i know its always fun anticipating a good DJ especially MP....Can't Wait.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeboy Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 thanks drone, i'll be sure to check some of them out... i was under the impression that all of the people i mentioned did minimal techno, guess i was wrong, but either way it's that repetitive punching rhythm that i love with as little breaks and real big buildups as possible, i think those ridiculous trance buildup sound decent but they take away from the song as a whole, but yea people like jeff mills and chris liebing is the style that gets me the most! mauro picotto too but he crosses the borders of trance and house now and again... although he makes it sound really good a lot of people attempting to do what he does just sound silly... anyway... thanks for the input! mauro rocks! oh and some stuff by this dude i dunno if you ever heard of him but he's awesome... Gaetano Parisio <~ sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaetano Parisio <~ sick! parisio is sick too!! like i said before.. get your ass to baktun on mondays!! parisio was just there a few months ago. I am there almost every week.. definitely a very under-rated (and sadly underattended!!) party in nyc. cover is never more than $5!and the sound in there KICKS!!

lifeboy Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 lasix, i just checked out the tronic treatment site! the lineups look unreal! i think i've just found a new monday night spot... as if i had a monday night spot to begin with.... ive heard of the party didnt know what it was about... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im totally sick of my lame ass friends bailing on me and im gonna go alone if i have to. So if you see this guy bopping his head in a corner (holding a big glass of LI tea ) come say hi. lifeboy: if parisio is your thing then its probably not minimal shit you're after but more drummy/banging shit (the infamous ADATT). If that's the case let's drop a few more names shall we: christian varela, adam beyer, rino cerrone, marco bailey, chris zander, marco carola.....basically go to your record shop in the techno section and look for any guy with an italian name :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeboy Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 drone, then maybe you can explain to me where i made the mistake of thinking one style is one and the other another... what separates minimal techno from stuff such as parisio, liebing, beyer and guys with that type of style? what else would be the distinguishing characteristic of minimal and adatt? lasix, what time does the tronictreatment party usually run from and when is the party usually over? i think im gonna make it there this monday... like i said i dont normally go out on mondays and i'll probably be there alone but whatever, the lineups look awesome and i need a change of scene, vinyl and centro are the only two places i go to and they're kinda pricy, plus vinyl oops i mean arc (i just cant get used to calling it that) doesnt serve liquor so i usually have to get boozed up before i get in there im not a big drug person aside from smoking here n there, and all the other clubs in the city pretty much suck, well the music that is... im definitely not an exit/sf kinda person, personally i cant stand any of it... and these other trendy places just arent my style... i like good music... anyway... yea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
