Extra! Happy Hardcore Returns to Buffalo! this weekend (November 14th - 16th for those of you reading this late) has been cancelled. There were some last minute venue issues that led to the cancellation of the party. It sucks pretty bad, but hey, these things happen. So anyways I thought to myself....the party's tomorrow......I had a pretty good idea what I was gonna play....why don't I record that shit and whack it online for everyone pissed off the party was cancelled.<br /><br />So I did. And here it is.<br /><br />I'm not 100% happy with it. Like I said it's a rough idea of what I was gonna play. The whole ending bit probably would've got hucked out the window in favor of some other tunes. I doubt I would've played Pacific Sun in it's entirety (I can personally only stand about 3 and a half minutes of it). And such and such. But this is what I had pulled out, so this is what you get.<br /><br />I didn't really try too hard here. A few sloppy mixes. At one point I seem to recall hitting the jog wheel on the wrong CDJ. But meh. It's still a fun mix. At least I think so anyway.<br /><br />So, on behalf of everyone involved with Extra! Extra!, we're sorry the party didn't get to happen. Here's some free music. Please don't kill us. Hahahahaha<br /><br />PLEASE NOTE!<br /><br />I was booked to play 90 minutes, so this set is 90 minutes long. It will NOT fit on a CD. If you want to fit, chop it off after the last breakdown in Hey Jude. Or before Hey Jude. I know a lot of people don't like it. Aaaaaaaaaaaanyways!<br /><br />Saiyan - Extra!

You WILL be marked with a very large X on your hand with a marker. There will be ZERO tolerance for anyone underage that is caught with anything other than a bottle of water or glass of pop in their hands. Anyone bringing a bag with them, they will be subject to a search, no markers, no sharp objects, etc, you guys know what you can and cant bring with you.<br /><br />Lodging questions for those who are coming in from out of town:<br /><br />There are plenty of hotels in the area, some not so nice, but will be cheaper than the big ones downtown. Being a Saturday night, you may want to book in advance as they might be booked up. There are few relatively close hotels, check with either Hotels.com or one of the travel sites for something nearby.<br /><br />Any more questions/concerns, feel free to PM <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/14139875356793012027">me</a> or <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/01598838022460775775">Timmy</a> on here, or you can email me directly at <a href="mailto:sigma716@gmail.com">sigma716@gmail.com</a>TSIDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14139875356793012027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834049985800516522.post-80601041367985517492008-11-08T10:50:00.000-08:002008-11-08T10:53:23.775-08:00TONIGHT- TRR3- Toronto!<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td bg="" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" width="100%"><span class="option"><b>Total Request Rave 3!!!</b></span></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" bgcolor="#ffffff"><br /><table align="center" border="0" width="98%"><tbody><tr><td> <a href="http://www.nocturnalcommissions.com/modules.php?name=News&new_topic=3"><img src="http://www.nocturnalcommissions.com/images/topics/blank.gif" alt="No Topic" align="right" border="0" /></a><span class="content"><p class="post"> </p><div align="center"><img title="Total Request Rave 3 - Front" alt="Total Request Rave 3 - Front" src="http://new.nocturnalcommissions.com/images/stories/flyers/total_request_rave_3-front-lowres.jpg" align="middle" border="0" /><br /><br /><img title="Total Request Rave 3 - Back" alt="Total Request Rave 3 - Back" src="http://new.nocturnalcommissions.com/images/stories/flyers/total_request_rave_3-back-lowres.jpg" border="0" /></div><div> </div><p class="post"><br /></p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Toronto is home to many talented DJs, many fine promoters, and many excellent producers.

A D.J. for over 12 years, Josh blends a unique style of funky house, tech-house and breaks, while incorporating ill-scratching and turntable tricks. Josh's passion for the art of DJing first came about when he discovered hip-hop while still in grade school. A fan of early pioneering hip-hop groups like Public Enemy, EPMD, Eric B. and Rakim, he was enthralled by the art of scratching. One day a friend lent Josh a videotape of a D.J. battle which unknowingly turned out to be a D.M.C. battle, the most renowned D.J. battle in the world. Mesmerized by what he saw could be done with 2 turntables and a mixer, Josh practiced and honed his skills relentlessly. His passion and persistence proved to be worthwhile, as he has since displayed his skills in some of the most prestigious D.J. battles in the world. 1997 saw Josh become a D.M.C Midwest Finalist. In 1999 he competed in the Winter Music Conference scratching competition where he was a runner up to 3-time world champion D.J. Craze. In 2000 Josh took 1st place in the beat-mixing competition at the Winter Music Conference D.J. spin-off. Aside from competing, Josh's passion for music has led him to compile several mix compilations including his own "House Funktion" series, which showcases his diverse music selection and wicked turntable skills. Josh has also helped co-produce legendary D.J. BadBoyBill's "Bangin the Box Vol. 4" and "Banging in London" mix compilations. As if his DJing accomplishments weren't enough, Josh has also had his hand in the studio producing tracks for the infamous Chicago labels I.H.R, Kid Dynamite, and Strictly Hype Recordings. His tracks have been featured on mix compilations and D.J. play lists throughout the world, further establishing his reputation as a D.J./Producer. Josh has also lent a hand in remixing Chicago's number one house diva, Dajae. Her first single on Kid Dynamite records entitled "Time" is an uplifting vocal anthem that has received Billboard attention and has since been licensed to Credence records in the U.K. Most Recently Josh has remixed Dajae's newest single "Everyday," also on Kid Dynamite records and already licensed to Defected Records U.K. However, "The Funky 1" is not one to be content with only producing records for other labels. In 2001, "The Funky 1" will present his own record label, Funktion Recordings. The first release "Everybody Everywhere" by BSJ and Fun-K is sure to find its way into the record boxes of D.J.'s worldwide. When not in the studio or running his label, Josh is constantly touring the world bringing his sound and skills together for the masses.

In fact, you could argue that the reason the 31 year old Londoner has come so far (apart from excellent taste in music and deft spinning skills, of course) is by nature of his affability, modesty and sense of perspective. "We watch plastic go round," is how he describes the DJ's job. "Alright, it's slightly more than that, but I just feel that if you separate yourself from clubbers - if you become so much more important than they are - how can you understand what they want and how can you be part of it?"<br /><br />It's a rhetorical question: Seb has been a part of it for fifteen years now. His career choice may not seem surprising when you allow that he was conceived on the island of Ibiza, to a French restauranteur and a sojourning English woman. But the boy they christened Jean Sebastian Fontaine claims that "I never decided to be a DJ." Born and raised in west London, his heroes were Chelsea Football Club (his son's middle name is Stamford) and the bands of the 2-Tone label. To this day, he claims that "If I could swap being a DJ now to be in Madness, I would."<br /><br />That opportunity never arose. Instead, a teenage Seb talked his way into a gig at Hammersmith Town Hall on the lie that he'd already DJ'd "loads of times," after which he landed a regular slot at Crazy Larry's on the Kings Road where, like many of his peers, he played old soul and funk alongside new American hip-hop. From there it was onto The Fridge in Brixton, and The Wag in Soho, along with the occasional warehouse party where "If the promoter hadn't run away with a couple of strippers before you finished your set, you were lucky."<br /><br />As the British rave scene exploded toward the end of the 80s, Seb was at all the clubs, but tucked away in the back rooms, still playing rap. His epiphany? "Walking into the main room one day and hearing A Guy Called Gerald's 'Voodoo Ray' and thinking, 'What the hell is this record? It's unbelievable.'" He also noted the difference in audience. "UK hip-hop went through a moody stage at one point. You'd be DJing and instead of people dancing it would be crews of guys hugging the walls. And I would just spend more and more time in the house room where there'd be girls dancing on the speakers and semi-naked people swinging from the chandeliers. And I was thinking 'This is where I want to be, I want to be here’.<br /><br />Given how many DJs were undergoing a similar conversion, Seb's progress into the house rooms was gradual: gigs at Subterania with Jeremy Healey and Norman Jay, a residency at The Cross, guest slots where he could get them. And finally, alongside DJing and promoting partner Craig Richards, his own Saturday night at the Hanover Grand in central London under the club name Malibu Stacey. At which point it all came together. Seb and Craig found themselves with the hottest night in town. And it lasted almost four years.<br /><br />Malibu Stacey was relentlessly glamorous, refreshingly exuberant, and Fontaine played appropriately optimistic house music to match. Yet while the night put his name on the map, it also typecast him. "For a long time I got tarred with this 'glam house' brush. It's just what everyone was doing. It was trannies and feather boas. It took a long time to shake that moniker." He did so the only way he knew how, by working his way out of it. A residency at Ministry of Sound's 'Frisky' night certainly helped; then, when Paul Oakenfold abdicated his spot at rival night Cream up in Liverpool, Fontaine's name was put forward as replacement. The offer was too good to turn down, and Seb became the first DJ to claim both 'super clubs' as home turf.<br /><br />Not surprisingly, other opportunities quickly sprung forth. Seb took a radio gig on Britain's dance station Kiss FM, began playing Ibiza, burned up and down the British motorways on weekend nights, and moved into mix CDs. He's done a couple of best-sellers for Cream, but came into his own with the 'Prototype' series released by Global Underground, which gave him his own 'resident' CD status rather than 'guesting' for other brands. Over four increasingly popular 'Prototype' releases, Seb built a global audience by balancing the appealingly commercial vocal with the resolutely underground instrumental.<br /><br />Still, by the time of the fourth double mix, "I ended up thinking, how many Prototypes can you do before you have the finished article?" Similarly, he was becoming frustrated by dance music's household acceptance. "Clubbing was getting so big and so popular and so brand-led we were in the danger of being on the back of cornflake packets," he says. For a while, "It just felt like you were expected to play the standard ten tunes everywhere you went. And if you didn't, the DJ after you would play them and would be the hero while you were the villain."<br /><br />Fortunately, circumstances allowed Seb to reposition himself. Radio 1 hired him away from Kiss, initially to fill in for other Djs and for road trips, and then for a prestigious Saturday night slot from 7 pm-9 pm. (The show attracts almost a million UK listeners, is syndicated in five countries, and is available all week on the Radio 1 web site.) He quit Cream at the end of last year, which has allowed him to engage in more international travel, and that in turn has widened his musical perspective and opened his ears.<br />Seb now has a monthly New York gig with Subliminal Sessions, while he has returned to The Cross in London to launch his own monthly night Type. "It holds all the ethics that I hold important about dance music at the moment," he enthuses. "It's a club that holds 1000 people. And it's all split up. Low ceiling, great sound." Guests have included Timo Maas, Slam, Circulation, the key figures in what Fontaine calls "A new sound coming through, like electro and house married, really dark sounding but very exciting too. . Clubbing is meant to be fun. It doesn't need to be a sell-out but there needs to be some energy."<br /><br />A similar mindset governs his radio show, for which Seb understands how fortunate he is to be with the BBC. "You're essentially federal employees, and basically you're given a white paper that says Play Good Music. We have no commercials, we have no sponsors, we're not dictated to. You're not told where you should be putting anything other than the fact you're chosen for your ability and told to do what you do. Being with the BBC is a fantastic opportunity to put forward where you think music should be going."<br />While involved in the occasion club cut as either Cequenza (for the "bigger sounding tracks") or Sizzlak (for the "funky house music"), Seb has shied away from remixing opportunities, both to avoid becoming jaded by overexposure and because he's a family man. He and his wife/agent Vanessa are expecting their second child in July 2002, which will mean even less sleep than usual for several more months. "Sometimes I feel like I'm walking a tightrope," Seb admits, "but it seems to work."<br /><br />It does. And if you want to know why it works, just listen to him talk. This is a man who knows his music, appreciates his job, but best of all, understands his audience. "For every person who says 'clubbing was better five years ago,' there's someone new coming into it who will remember last Saturday like we remember 1990," says Seb. "Everyone has their time and place. Everyone has their moment - a year or two when everything is the most exciting thing in the world. And that's cool. As a DJ, you've got to try to help people have their moment all the time."</b><br />WITH<br /><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.3em;"><br />CORY DOWNEY,<br />JARVIS<br />&<br />JESSE AARON</span></b><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wUKPdL-w3HA"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wUKPdL-w3HA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><b><br />LEVEL Nightclub<br />75 W Chippewa St<br />Buffalo, NY 14202</b></div>TSIDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14139875356793012027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834049985800516522.post-14621905546867361292008-11-04T00:44:00.000-08:002008-11-04T00:45:13.616-08:00<div style="text-align: center;">Well this is it! The final countdown until the big election! Soon enough, you all will be making an incredibly important decision - you'll be choosing <span style="font-weight: bold;">what songs you want to hear at Total Request Rave 3!!!!!</span><br /><br /><br />(Also voting for Barack Obama :D )<br /><br /><br /><br />Song suggestion has CLOSED on the Nocturnal Commissions site - your suggestions are now being pulled together into a comprehensive list which we will winnow down to just a few for YOU to vote on at the event!<br /><br />Our friends at Embryon are throwing their annual hardcore event the same night as Total Request Rave this year. Rather than compete, we've decided to work out an arrangement that will enable the hardcore lovers out there to attend both events.<br /><br />Admission to Embryon is 10$. Door price for TRR is 30$ - but if you purchase a ticket for Embryon, you'll receive a discount on your TRR door price equivalent to the price of your Embryon ticket. Simply show your Embryon stamp at the door when you head over to TRR and we'll take the 10$ you spent on Embryon right off your ticket price, enabling you go to two parties for the price of one!<br /><br /><br />Every year, our events build on each other until they culminate in the epicosity that is Total Request Rave. There isn't any other experience like it in the world (we've actually checked on this, lol). To top it off, we go all out on every aspect of the production of this event. Now that the date is close, I can let you know to expect:<br /><br />- a MASSIVE laser system (yes THAT laser!)<br />- Dual projection screens for visuals and voting<br />- Hundreds of free glowsticks<br />- new CD release from Dave of the Rave, "Mass Hysteria"<br />- Limited Edition TRR CDs for new ravers and the people who bring them from Dynamic and Opel<br />- The world's ONLY interactive raving experience<br />- Top notch decor from the NC Dream Builders<br />- Top musical talent from start to finish<br />- And most important of all, YOU!<br /><br /><br />When George and I started NC almost 4 years ago, we did it because we freaking love Happy Hardcore and raving, and we did it because we wanted to throw parties that focused on creating a truly special vibe. As we've added people to our cast of characters over the years, we've made sure that we've only chosen people who truly believe in that. Nobody in NC makes money off of this - in fact, everybody involved in the company has sacrificed a lot, time after time, to make these events come together.<br /><br />We work hard to ensure that when you walk into one of our events, you know immediately that you aren't at just another party. Each and every one of you is part of our family of ravers, and each and every one of you is part of making something special happen at all of our events.<br /><br />This weekend is NOT going to be a party. This weekend is going to be a <span style="font-weight: bold;">rave. </span>You'll hug strangers. You'll trade kandie. You'll have long conversations about the most random things. You'll meet people from the strangest places. You'll listen to ridiculous music with ridiculous lyrics at ridiculous speeds. You'll dance. You'll live. You'll love. You'll rave.<br /><br />And we'll do it together.<br /><br />From all of us at Nocturnal Commissions - we love you all, and we can't wait to see you this weekend. Happy rave. <3</div>Timothy Ellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01598838022460775775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834049985800516522.post-91375927262843676952008-10-16T10:37:00.000-07:002008-10-16T15:53:02.988-07:00MISS BLYSS Gimme that booty mix!

The one, the only, legendary <b>MAD PROFESSOR</b> will make his first-ever appearance in our fair city.<br /><br />One of the few responsible for the creation of <b>DUB</b> music, he will be performing <b>LIVE </b>on his own 24-channel mixing board, with the infamous Susan <b>Cadogan</b> on vocals. This is true DUB/Reggae at its finest.<br /><br />A rare treat, and a blessing to all. Get your tickets early..

Referred m to by Melody Maker in London as " the biggest black owned studio complex in Britain".<br /><br />Indeed, Ariwa Sounds now boasts and impressive 24 track studio with a superb track record of <i>producing such artists as Sade, The Beastie Boys, Massive Attack, The Orb, Lee ' Scratch' Perry, Macka B., Twinkle Brothers, JC Lodge, and U Roy</i>just to name a few. Most recently, Mad Professor has been busy mixing and producing tracks for The Boom, Depeche Mode, Jamiroqui, Rancid, KLF, and Perry Farrel (Jane's Addiction).<br /><br />Born in Guyana, South America, Neil Fraser was nicknamed Mad Professor by school friends because of his interest in electronics. It was this same interest that help him to start his own recording studio, by first building his own mixer, echo and effects machines. It is no surprise that this interest coupled with his love for Motown, Philadelphia, Treasure Island and music of all types have propelled him into the artist that he is today.<br /><br />As United Kingdoms most formidable reggae producer and dub mix master, Mad Professor's genius lies in his ability to use computers and modern techniques, to produce dub tracks that sound and feel like roots and culture.<br /><br />Always an innovator in an ever growing genre. Mad Professor continues to blow away audiences worldwide, with his live dub performances. Creating, mixing, and captivating the audience while his DJ's and singers perform on stage. Mad Professor has become what NOW Magazine in Toronto Canada calls "<i>The high tech leading light in reggae-dub innovation</i>. "<br /><br />Through the nineties Mad Professor gained momentum globally. Touring South America, North America, Japan, Africa, and Europe, including Moscow's first dub show playing to an audience of 6,000. On top of a heavy touring schedule Mad Professor has and continues to work various major labels such as Sony Music, EMI, Arista, Warner Brothers, Capital Record, and Virgin Records. The Ariwa Sound Studio with it's unique and easily identifiable by the professor's Dubtronic, electronica mixes fuses in with base and drum sound.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.3em; ">w/ special guests</span><br /><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 1.3em; ">DJ UNIVERSAL (dub/reggae)<br />BIG BASHA (dubstep)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 1.3em; ">THURSDAY OCT 23<br />@SOUNDLAB</span><br />110 pearl St. Buffalo NY<br />Doors/Show 930pm . 18+<br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />GET YOUR TICKETS IT WILL PROBABLY SELL OUT<br />WWW.TICKETWEB.COM</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.3em; "><br />Brought to you by</span><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/mikemarshall88/mnmLORES-3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br />WWW.MYSPACE.COM/MNMPRESENTS </span>TSIDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14139875356793012027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834049985800516522.post-66970891226308457972008-10-16T10:32:00.000-07:002008-10-16T10:33:53.480-07:00PORTERHOUSE (STEVE PORTER FRIDAY OCT 24TH)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "><b>SUDOKU,KITTENS PROMOTIONS INTERNATIONAL & FACTORY NIGHTLIFE PRESENT</b><br /><b>FRIDAY OCT 24TH</b><br /><b><span style="font-size: 36pt; line-height: 1.3em; ">PORTERHOUSE</span></b><br /><b>WITH </b><br /><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 1.3em; ">STEVE PORTER</span></b><br /><img src="http://www.plong.com/MusicCatalog%5CS%5CSteve%20Porter%20-%20Steve%20Porter%20presents%20Porter%20House%5CSteve%20Porter%20-%20Steve%20Porter%20presents%20Porter%20House.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><b>“So Fresh, So Clean” could be the perfect title for Steve Porter. It can easily describe his personality, his look and more importantly his music. 2003 was another banner year for the boy wonder with his big time single “Definite Form” and his now classic remix of Amber’s “Anyway”. Adding to that his underground side projects Agent 001, HDF & Bons and his looming artist album, his music sees huge support across the spectrum of DJs from Sasha & John Digweed to Carl Cox to Mark Farina and Derek Carter.<br /><br />Something of a child prodigy from a famous father, but his first love & choice was always music. Discovering electronic sounds at 16 years old, Steve dove deeply into it all. Along with his mother, he loaded on decks and studio gear to start learning the art of DJing and productions. When some tracks fell into Chris Fortier’s hands, it really started moving. Support quickly followed from so many of Steve’s DJ heroes. Many labels from around the globe took notice of Steve’s talent and the remix offers started pouring in with most recently the next single from Iio called “Smooth”.<br /><br />Steve has now made a huge mark with his techno edged house productions. His studio work was only one facet of Steve’s two prong attack. His DJing is where he really rocks the funky beats. His move to New York City from Boston has only put more fuel to the fire. Along with dates across the country and tours with Sasha (Airdrawndagger Tour), Sander Kleinenberg (Essential Mix Tour) and Chris Fortier, Steve is in demand from Tokyo to Tampa. With over 20 remixes to his credit, his Agent 001 & HDF & Bons projects busting down doors, he is leading way for the next wave of America’s future stars.</b><br /><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 1.3em; ">KEEPING THE BEATS BANGING<br />CORY DOWNEY, JARVIS & JESSE AARON</span></b><br /><b>QUOTE NIGHT CLUB<br />236 Delaware Ave<br />Buffalo, NY <br />Phone 854-2853</b></span>TSIDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14139875356793012027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834049985800516522.post-54707223683502020072008-10-16T10:29:00.001-07:002008-10-16T10:32:10.951-07:00BAD BOY BILL THIS SATURDAY!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u155/devious727/bbbsmall-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u155/devious727/bbbsmall-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande'; font-size: 11px; ">? events and Factory nightlife present...<br /><br />BAD BOY BILL - btd (Americas favorite house dj)<br />with ALEX PEACE (dj / mc set)<br /><br />Dj lil joe<br />Dj Devious<br />Search n4 gunz<br />dj Sigma<br />Tweeknasty<br />Dj Beloved<br />Dj Influence<br />Jesse Aaron<br />Cory Downey<br /><br />and more....<br />* SPECIAL 18+ EVENT<br /><br />* 2 ROOMS OF CRAZINESS<br />* 1 HELL OF A PARTY!!!!!</span><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande'; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande'; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande'; font-size: 11px;"><table class="info_table" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 0px; "><div class="datawrap" style="width: 270px; word-wrap: break-word; ">Mademoiselles (Yes..

I'm making my first post here at what we hope is the ironically named "The Scene is Dead" blog, and I'm glad to be a part of it.<br /><br />Why "The Scene is Dead?" You've heard people say it; you may even have said it yourself. I've been hearing it for the entirety of my 6 years of raving, in fact - though it's never once stopped the raves from happening.<br /><br />The simple fact of the matter is, raving is not now, was not then, and is not going to be dead. What <span style="font-style: italic;">has</span> happened is a loss of focus, a loss of drive, and a loss of interest, to greater or lesser extent in various areas. We will be touching on these topics in greater detail in the weeks and months to come, discussing their causes, their effects, and - most importantly - their solutions.<br /><br />As my coblogger mentioned in the previous post, it is the people that are the core of our scene. This seems obvious at first, but I'm constantly surprised at how many people miss that. As with any similar subculture, you go for the music - but you stay for the people. Luckily, raving is blessed with some of the best people on the planet. We're hardly perfect, but there's a reason I've chosen to associate with all of you instead of the many other subcultures I could have signed on with. And I'm sure the same is true for each of you. After all, you're still here.<br /><br />At its core, raving remains what it always was, and ravers are the same as they've always been. We're a sub culture that is inherently optimistic and genuinely passionate about our music and each other; this is not something that dies easily. Raving can be many things, but it is always an adventure, and I'm looking forward to sharing the adventure with you all for many years to come.<br /><br />Until next time - happy rave!<br /><br />-DTimothy Ellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01598838022460775775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834049985800516522.post-85476723063452026202008-10-14T11:26:00.000-07:002008-10-14T11:47:06.872-07:00The scene is NOT dead! The people however....Well, the site is officialy named! Welcome to thesceneisdead.com! We hope to showcase just the opposite, highlighting some of the more under the radar events in the area, and getting exposure out there for artists who just cant seem to catch a break in the one horse town that is Buffalo. <div><br /></div><div>The scene is definitely far from dead, and to be honest never died. Things took a major backburner in this area due to people playing favorites, cliques, and just general sketchy behavior. This goes for ALL types of music, not just electronica. </div><div><br /></div><div>Far too many good artists dont get the chance to showcase their talents around here because they arent friends with the right people, or they dont have the right look, or the clubs where they could get some exposure are just far too closed-minded about trying new things.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nightclubs like LEVEL and QUOTE have stepped up in recent months, allowing mainstream electronica acts to play in their clubs from the SUDOKU events. And we have even seen a rave at a strip club, with another following this Saturday featuring Bad Boy Bill.</div><div><br /></div><div>I will give a TON of credit to "MNM Presents" for really taking a step in the right direction with their events, bringing in some of the freshest talent, to some of the best venues in the area. I do have to take a stab at the "people" that attend their events though.</div><div><br /></div><div>Since when did going out become more about wearing the most retarded clothing you could find in your mothers closet, the thrift store down the street, and rifling through some dead person's garbage? These "hipsters" or "glamorous" people are part of the downfall of the scene in Buffalo. </div><div><br /></div><div>Case in point- DJ Tittsworth played an event at the Soundlab this past Saturday. When I walked up to the door, I was astounded at the amount of people outside just hanging out. Even more shocking was when I went inside to see the place packed to the gills. The music was amazing, the sound was great, awesome visual displays, but there was one major downfall- The crowd. These kids were all about looking and acting as if they had all just escaped from a local metal ward on costume day. I've seen this crap before. We did it ourselves at one point but never really pushed it into the mainstream. They were called "clubkids". Showcased in the movie about Michael Alig "Party Monster". </div><div><br /></div><div>Every generation seems to have their useless group of people who want nothing more than to draw attention to themselves, but at the same time complain when you make fun of them. However for some un-godly reason, this nonsense is becoming the norm, while celebs and musicians have been doing this for years (trying to draw attention to themselves), now it is popping up in suburban America, shopping malls and obviously night clubs.</div><div><br /></div><div>I guess I kind of got off on a tangent here, but truthfully, the scene is and always will be about the people. If these are the people that make up the scene, then maybe it truly is dead.</div>TSIDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14139875356793012027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834049985800516522.post-70947904556260599862008-10-08T11:12:00.000-07:002008-10-08T11:15:16.434-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i33.tinypic.com/34zadg8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/34zadg8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i37.tinypic.com/2hn2ko7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/2hn2ko7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;font-family:verdana;font-size:12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 16px; white-space: normal; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; font-size:13px;">On Saturday November 15th, 2008 Sigma & Dynamic bring Buffalo back to the days of HARDCORE with:<br /><br /><b>"EXTRA!

Eventually the site will host not only electronic music information but any kind of music going on in the greater western new york area, (yes, even you rochester lol). <div><br /></div><div>I hope to build a site that will host individual dj/artist pages (fully editable and controllable by the artist), Club/Venue pages (same deal as the artist pages) and from that point bring in event photography, to be hosted here. </div><div><br /></div><div>In addition, I am going to work with local promotions teams/concert promoters, to get tickets and merch to be given away through the site. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now I know some of the original wnysor people will balk at the idea of incorporating non electronic music into a site that is pretty much named for "raving/electronic music", and for that I do apologize, but I not only named it "wnysor-2" to encompass the rave aspect, but also to kind of show that the next generation is moving in a more wide open direction. </div><div><br /></div><div>Well, thats it for now, hopefully we are starting something positive here and can help try to sustain and further an already amazing Buffalo music scene!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for checking us out-</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">SIGMA</span></div>TSIDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14139875356793012027noreply@blogger.com0
