deepspell Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 really? was he just standing there? wasnt even trying to cover it up by switching CD's or vinyls?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phmx17 Posted June 27 Author Report Share Posted June 27 there was a milk crate with about 15 records in it. All the channels on the mixer were muted, no records on the tables. He just pretended and flicked around the CDjs. I saw the exact same thing with Gabriel and Dresden at SPundae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepspell Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 perhaps........but its something DJ's do when they dont give a fuck about where they are playing lol who knows. im saying tho.....if its on the internet it has to be tru! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalate Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 I was there. I have no clue if this was true or false. I have to say, even though I carry Sat @ Avalon, I havent been there in ages. Last time, I went it was okay. This time, MAN was it really quite wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianjunkie Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 I was on the stage behind him as a covering journalist. I'm also an amateur DJ. There was no faking going on. I would have been the first to see it. His booking agents were there with him and they would have flipped out if they had seen him doing that.Not a chance in the world that he was faking. Word on the street is that he did rock it pretty hard though. Gotta admit, my dancing shoes are worn thinner for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianjunkie Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 ... and Gabriel and Dresden don't fake it either. I happen to know Dave Dresden, and his fans should know that he reads every email they send him, he listens to everyone he possibly can after a show, and he scours message boards for beneficial feedback. He takes his work very, very seriously, and would saw his dick off before playing a prerecorded set. He's got some brand new tracks and is playing them wherever he can in order to get reactions from people. There's no way it's prefab.Please guys. If you're going to say things like this, just say you don't like them, but don't make accusations that simply aren't true or can't be substantiated. That's called libel and it is a punishable offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I danced from about 11 to 2 and some people looked like it was a cardio workout for them. What a wonderful wonderful time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool1g Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 i was actually a bit disappointed in his set - left around 215....for me he's been very hit or miss for the past 2 years or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weyes Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 i hate avaland, but i hate the fact that they get all the djs i want to see even more. ever since spundae first left circus, things have gone downhill, for me. the crowd i love is still at spundae, but the music is usually at avaland. i don't go to see some of my favorite djs just because they're at avaland. people often say that one shouldn't let a crowd spoil one's fun on the dancefloor, but the clientele there is so despicable to me that i just can't enjoy myself. i'm hoping that things will settle down at some point and that the hollywood phonies will leave, allowing some room for the music-lovers.

sancib Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 FKNG A Weyes! I so agree with you, I love Spundae because it has better vibe, but more often than not Avaland has the best music. I would rather be somewhere the crowd is cool and the music so,so...than a place where the music is great and the people are fake... weyes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sancib Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Well it has been a while since I've been to Giant, the last time we went was a couple months ago,when Sasha was doing his rotation, and the crowd was more than we could stand. So fake, full of people that make it feel like all there is to do is do drugs and find someone to f**k, YUK, that isnt my vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieaa Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 You know, I'm not sure what all of you people who are bashing Avalon are on. I have been going to GIANT ever since they opened at Circus and I have been hooked. Now that I am a bit older I dont go out nearly as much as I used to and havent done drugs in like two years, but if I go out it is usually for GIANT events because of the music ...I love it. I was there for Steve Lawler and Sander Kleinember and Sasha and everytime I had an awesome time. This whole thing with the vibe...it all comes down with the company that you are with and your own mood. We should all be proud to have a club like Avaland that will host huge talent and promoters like Giant. Is nice to know that if I want to go out on a Saturday night without planning involved I will for sure find a haven for Dance music .

And you my friend are not the only one who stood in the far out lines 5 years ago at circus. I only spoke about the last time I went, implying that maybe it was an isolated event. So chill out cranky pants... No matter what we will always follow the music..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyes Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 ...This whole thing with the vibe...it all comes down with the company that you are with and your own mood...i will agree to disagree, and i will point out that i can't disagree with you more.i'd also say that you probably know what sancib and i are talking about and that crowds HAVE ruined your nights quite a few times (if you have been going out for a number of years), but that the crowd at avaland that bothers us just doesn't particularly bother you.

serch54 Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 well said Charlie. if you're having a good time with your people and the music's great.. whats the problem? so what if you think other people are doing this or that.. everyones having a good time. and if you're the ones copping attitude and sacrificing good times because of other people, then maybe it's your problem, not the clubs, other people or whatever else.. have fun a small clubs with local dj's the rest of your life. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sancib Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 NOT!!!! he,he,he. I go where I want, when I want. Hmmmm, I dont think liquified is little local d.j's, unless you call "Digweed" little, I have been to many Giant functions and been very pleased. If you both would read, isolated events, being the theme. It happens, even if it doesnt ruin your night, it may perhaps be not as good as you know it has been. You can always distract yourself from KNUCKLEHEADS, point being there was a time when you didnt have to, or they didnt outnumber you. Chances are that you both have probably met weyes and myself at a cool ass show, think about it.... I am super duper nice and love to meet/make new friends. So stop being so defensive, we all share the common bond of music, lets respect each others opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
