If there is a techno scene; who are the party productions;
the DJ's; the booking agencies.... You never know....
We could introduce the real shit over there.... :cool:
well in bali and in jakarta are the most likely places you would find electronic music, but techno?! good luck. my experience was that they will come running up to you and say "play some hard trance!" 10 times in a row as you play. ppl really are NOT interested in education there. my brother and i did a long stint at a super club. we did festivals, weeklies, club nights etc. through THE VILLAS nightclub/resort in BALI. it was amazing and fun, but in the end, folks were more interested in house, downtempo and whatever else i played besides techno. they like music that aint dark and doesnt raise any issues. but yea bali is a tropical island so it makes sense...
its wierd tho, as soon as you eve n bust out some housey techno in clubs like double 6 and the villas, the ppl act like its the end of the world and go like bart f$ucking simpson:
"play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!""play some hard trance!"
enough!!!! i said enough of trying to educate ppl and the villas eventually closed.....
indonesia is dope tho, why are you going? anyway have fun bro!!!!

don`t know pdx too well, but seattle sure lends itself to laziness...hard to get people to do anything. hard to get myself to be productive sometimes...
re: samba...definately gonna hit the waves...never surfed before so we`ll see how it goes!
where in japan are you? tell them, "watashi was tanuki mitai no mono des." hehe
anyway yea folks in the northwest are slow as f uck l o l
must be the constant caffeine come down ;)
aiight...i`m off to board my flight to jakarta...hope to get back online before too long...
