1. Chorus/Flanger : 2. Grain shifter : 3. Impulse Response Reverb :
4. Bit crusher : 5. Baxxpander :
6. Multi-band compressor (set to 'Aggressive as ***K!) : 7. Kitchen Sink

Any Takers....??:rurazz:

Yeah, we had a rig upstairs the first time that place was used I think.Quote:

That was a horrible gig, but strangely good.
Were you there with twisted or something?

I think Al was about the only truly nice non gangster out of that side of the party scene, well, apart from lawrie, he was always sound too, even though we didn`t always see eye to eye, he wasn`t a robbing gangster.
No we were doing a party right in islington.
We knew Fullham would get busted that night, it was fullham for gods sake.
Still most of the punters ended up at our do because of it, so we can`t complain.
I think I just realised who you were.
I think I saw you play for Twisted years and years ago at one of our partys in vauxhall I think.
An old kwick fit garage it was.
Did you go as DJ Baz in them days?
Or just Baz?
yeah i played at a few twisted parties in vauxhall.. used to play gianni & gianni's rig a bit tooQuote:

Ah I remember some guy called Baz on Twisted I thinkin 98. Might have been another rig though, I can`t remember who was in our building.Quote:

And it said Baz, or DJ Baz.
Probably not you then.
coulda been.. only flyer i was ever called baz on was a sunday thing in a pub in stoke newington with henry the plumber and chris labrador and trancentral always had me down as bazz too for some reason.Quote:

I don`t think the party scene did anyone too good if they were connected to it for too long a time mate.
I`m one of the few rig owners who left at the death of the scene, without a major drug addiction.
I entered that scene in the naievity that it was full of open minded people all together for the love of music, and found myself deep in a snowdrift of gangsters, thieves and drug addicts.
Obviously there was good people and good times, but the closer I got to the reality of it, the more I was dissapointed.
In a way I`m glad it all fell apart in the end.
It had to.
Great days though ey?
Did you ever go to any of the legendary Beachy road parties?
Or Eley St
The Pentagonal building at waterloo
Brewery Lane
Carpenters Road
Canning town arches (great outdoor raves they were)
The old Sweet factory
Green Dragon yard
Canada Water (very naughty)
Turnpike lane cinema
Wood green bingo hall.
Great great parties.
And why did sonic always have shagging crusties at his parties.
What was that all about?
very very wrong
carpenter road was my very first party i played at.. where you had to walk around the side of the warehouse on a little beaten path and try not fall into the river???
remember tony techno trousers? (think that was his name??)
and lee techtonic..
and boots? is he still hanging with tribe of munt?
Tony trousers, haha, yeah, he was a nice guy. Nuts but nice.
Lee I stayed in touch with for a while after he quit. Went off to Oz came back again.
Lost touch now though.
Boots, not seen him for yonks.
Still in touch With Insanity Paul though.
Most honest guy in that scene, and one of the firsts too.
It was a crying shame how he got forced out of the scene. A bloody crying, dirty shame.
was that the lad with the mousey long hair from insanity? they were young lads werent they?Quote:

hehe, yeah. it was tony two trousers... i actually used to work in a record shop/stall he did called 'two trouser techno' funny days..
@ DB.. totally know what you're saying about the ammount of murky goings on.. I was always with jiba until it completely fell apart due almost exclusively to drugs.. good days tho for quite a while
i played on jiba at some party in a weird old squated mill just off dalston high st.. an italian guy with one arm lived there :laughing: if i remember rightlyQuote:

Mi dummies coming right out eh...:rucrybaby:
oh yeah :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
like i said "build up the pressure" :cool:
I didn't understand the thread.. was it saying that if you put a sitar or whatever it was through all those effects, you'd be capable of producing the greatest riff ever heard? I reckon a hammond organ through a bit crusher sounds nice
Was that the dude with the metal arm ?Quote:

He was about 40 when I got to know him in 97.
I think the young lad with the mousey hair maybe one of his DJ`s at the time, not sure.
No insanity was never younguns though, you must have the wrong rig in mind.
:dans taxi:Or one of these.... no need for all them effects chained up - well maybe the bit crusher! hehehQuote:

I'm still going...:dans taxi:
Can`t remember, if they were youngsters they probably didn`t last long. Probably got heavy at some point and they vanished.Quote:

Hehe, I was in my early 20`s then, but I was one of the youngest guys along with naughty Lee Manik, at the time, who was running parties.Quote:

They weren`t any of the main rigs during united systems days.
Maybe some out of town boys.
hmm, might have been Sonic, his crew change devery hour.
Panik maybe?
Wasn`t Stinky Pink, although they did have some younguns play on the rig now and again.
I have no idea.

Yeah, I have some, on good old fashioned proper photo paper.Quote:

Actually think it was one long party.
My mate still hang out with tony two trousers. Plays funky/tech house now and has 3 kids.
It was one long party wasn`t it?
Clean up and set up Friday night, sleep in building.
Saturday decorate a bit, take calls organise other rigs for building.
Saturday night sort out phone lines, start party.
Sunday Night/Monday morning, pack up, clear out.
Monday, Bed.
Tuesday, wednesday, maybe thursday, scouting locations.
Thursday-friday, Enter chosen location.
Friday, clean up, set up.
Oneeee looooonggggg paaaaarrttyyyyyyyy!!!
Tell you what though...
Going to all those parties were pretty much the best experiences I've ever had in my life...:cool:
Alot of punters don't realise, including me before I was shown, how much time and effort goes in to what can essentially be a life long memorable experience for them...
So those that put the time and effort in putting these parties on, hats off to you all... :BigThumbUp:
