i go out less than i used to nowadays

Welcome to your late 20s/early 30s 

yep! 

on this note, don't wanna be negative but what has happened to bristol club nights?

i go out less than i used to nowadays but every single time i am disappointed by the soundsystem.

maybe i was spoilt by dissident, dirt etc. but it seems every venue now just has crappy PA style speakers and maybe a little sub, where are the stacks?!?

While I see where you're coming from if we're honest Stokes croft was a complete shithole... When you got out the clubs or when you passed back through you put your head down and walked through quickly trying to avoid the gangster types staring you out. I remember the night the guy got murdered in club uk I walked back through from thekla or somewhere  and got asked what "the fuck I was looking at" 3 times in 100 yards. It was seriously sketchy that night and that wasn't uncommon. That's not to mention the stupid number of crack heads, although it was getting better by 08. I'd rather have pissed students any time.

Having said all that the clubs were much better. I got all sentimental about clockwork/powerhouse the other day. And the old Lakota with propper courtyard. And smoking inside....

never found any real aggyness to be honest, always had amazing nights out there between 06 and 08...

for me the place was never the same after clockwork shut, i'm with you on the sentimentality!

walked up stokes croft late at night the other day for the first time in ages and oh my god so many taxis! felt like park street...   

what's the sound like at blue mountain these days?

not been there for ages!

set times please 

what the hell do you say so that he'll actually listen to it?!? 

Lovely stuff! Endo and Easy Tiger especially.

 

Endo is fucking militant! Quality.
I liked all your Apathesis stuff, but this is next level, big ups!

much obliged man 

don't know if anyone who used to rate my tunes is still about but yeah, new music @ http://soundcloud.com/lysene

 

a decent fk1 rig, popular residents and a bit of effort on the decor trumps djs that only the promoters have heard of every time.

THIS

ive heard you can put dark chocolate in chilli - is it nice?
x

yeah but only a bit - too much and it's pretty horrible!

when i first came here there was definitely a lot more mid-size raves with good line ups happening, nowadays it seems it's either massive things at motion with terrible music or wanky cool kid things at tiny places with what sounds like a domestic hi-fi linkup. obviously there are exceptions and i do rate what a lot of promoters are doing, even if it's not really my thing.

however i think the real problem is that there is literally no where with proper systems anymore. i literally haven't heard a proper rig in like 2 years. that makes me sad.

This will change in the next couple of months. Some exciting things going on in Bristol atm, which should see some more small > mid size dances going on  

ima hold you to that

i really hope it comes back, just sorted out moving to a flat on the procession route!

american women are stupid

I swore blind at one stage that I'd never change to CDs or digital and stick with the faithful vinyl... But after playing around with a cracked copy of traktor about2 years ago I decided to take the plunge and put the funds for my record buying budget into getting the original Traktor (with vinyl emulation) plus a load of MIDI equipment... Nowadays I couldn't be without Traktor and feel that it makes digital DJing superior to the old style vinyl. there are drawbacks in that you don't get a nice hard format music collection and it maybe isn't as touchey feeley handson as vinyl but there are a new set of skills to learn and once you get going you realise that digital DJing is a more versatile option.. No turning back now...

until they release the next "new thing" and you have to leave this one and buy that..and so on and so forth..

play records..select your choice with care and present it with excitement..you don't need all the bells and whistles shit

play what you like and let other people play what they like 

What the fuck happened to meeting the opposite sex in pubs and clubs? I despair.

What happened to telling the girls father you earn 10,000 Guineas a year and you plan to buy a plantation in the West Indies?

 

all i know is that the conservatives are for it and the green party are against it...

the vote is the day i hand my dissertation in so i am going to be very drunk whilst voting 

if this was everywhere then it would be amazing

but it's not and so it's bad.

can't make it but am kicking myself over it - best lineup i've seen in bristol for a LONG TIME (hint hint promoters  )

set times?

confused

How about, you pay to live in house, just like every other cunt in Britain?

Unemployed squatters should receive a share of the housing benefit they are saving the government. Discuss.

like this point.

room 2 oh my days!

"I expect that the far-left will rationalise this as another example of 'selfish capitalism' and revel in how ever more squalor adds 'authenticity' to their middle class fad of poverty tourism."

this is sort of funny

it makes me sad just because i loved the girl on the front, now it's all demolished 

had the best main room in bristol i reckon

maybe it's the swan

anyways

syndicate three years ago

i'm sorry. i'm being a dick 

wooooooo i love dinosaurs 

iplayer business

YES

 

flyer is literally amazing. i love those colours 

Er, why is it ok for people to take over the streets with loud soundsystems...  but long serving establishments a stone throw away (such as the Croft) constantly get beef for noise from the council??


And as for property owners turning Stokes Croft into Shoreditch??  I think the opening of Hamilton House* has been the main catalyst in this tbh

*not knocking HH, but when the Canteen opened the whole road changed

the canteen is boater shoe central to be fair.

 

don't know if you would agree but koreless was the last artist to make me think.

you've probably heard this tune but,

it just depends how big they are - do they have releases // are they an amazing dj with mad skills etc.

if not then travel + alcohol 

No.

no? i guess it depends on the night

actually after the Madd EP I will exclusively be releasing house

soz

  or no  ?

 

me thinking i just have to say i am a fan of your labels they have made me smile when the world seemed to have turned to house 

it just depends how big they are - do they have releases // are they an amazing dj with mad skills etc.

RE stereo, would it be possible to make it so when you connect two you got left and right instead of two mono?

because that would be amazing 

ppps.

agreed.

ps. i think i should have put "some people still like 140" instead, dubstep is pretty much a curse word nowadays  

pps. i skrillex, obvz.

Oh, this is still Hijack... thought I'd stumbled onto dubstepforum by mistake

  despite what the cool kids say, some people still like dubstep 

how much do you reckon you'll sell them for?

that dark details tune is intense
