No wonder there's punchups then ... all those Spikeys with bad co-ordination getting in the way of the serious clubbers !
Makes me grateful for the reasonable UK scene.

This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.
Sounds like the California rave scene back in the late 80's/early 90's, for a lot of those kids that whole thing is something rebelliously new and most will try to push it as far as they can.
As an old geezer myself, I try to talk to the younger crowd at shows, cause they are always amazed to hear about some almost 40 yr old listening to EDM and the acid house days etc, it's up to the vets of the scene to offer something else, we use to have Sunday raves in the park, a daytime thing for the most part people showed up sober, only the real heads cranked it up for the daytime and those folk were beyond hope. We all know dance music has such a strong energy, a motivational force, a primitive nature, it can spontaneously cause people to get mental, I still do at some show and if was not in a club I would have probably had a net thrown over me to be sent to an asylum, lastly someday these kids will be club going age and when I have seen them they usually are the straightest of the bunch, so don't give up hope yet just try to set a positive example, maybe with some free mixes at shows, once they hear your sound, they"ll toss old tesitcle right in the trash.

1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...

Apparently that 'techtonic' thing was big in france last year according to my little brother who spent part of the year there on exchange. Never knew what it was until I saw those videos
I can't stand hearing this kind of thing. Being a DJ I hate to think I'm contributing to this kind of behavior. It's so depressing to hear about a 16 year old kid overdosing on pills... Stuff like this makes me wanna just quit.

Yes, at one of my last gigs that idea had seriously crossed my mind:
Last summer I had already started refusing "small" gigs (i.e. less than 300 ppl) and therefore was more "selective" on where, how and whom I'd play with.
And finally, before being grounded, I got to a stage where I would accept to play only with international DJs visiting Lebanon, even if it meant less work for me.
Since a while now clubbing has become much less than what it use to be for me: it has become more work than fun, more like going to the office than goin partying
With this kind of EDM evolution, I feel that in the future, I will take more the "producer path" than the "DJ path" (as I am currently doing), a "chill-producing" while taking it easy at home so-to-speak. And if all goes as I would like to, I will be making 1 local concert per year as main act with my own music, and will be focusing more on the European market...and that will be IT for me, as far as EDM is concerned.

^ I believe it, all the best music was being played at ghey clubs in all seriousness
Well in late eighties when acid and house started hiting the West Coast it was in primarily Gay and Lesbian venues, A couple nights a week some of the DJ's would drop acidhouse and house music all night ...... long, jeez even in Tijuana there were a couple clubs dropping house music on the weekends, then the raves followed and the busts, and the clampdown, then everyone turned 21 and the club scene took off.

Gay & Lesbian clubs tend to be more nasty, even musically.
In my djing experience I played in both kinds of clubs (being an aftehours dj thats not hard), and it seems they are always ahead than normal "hetero" clubs (musically).
during my more open-minded college yrs (like in 1999) we would go to a gay/straight club in san diego that had a lot of gay dudes because it was the only after hours club and played really good prog house... technically it wasn't "gay night" when we went, but the bartenders still were shirtless...lots of pretty women though, made it easy to justify going as well.
