My worst acid techno moment came in 2003 at a free party on the South Downs - some geezer kept following me around, convinced that I was dealing K. I managed to give him the slip, and sneaked off to my car for a bit of a snooze. Sometime later - not sure how long it was - I woke up with a jolt as the same geezer was rocking my car and banging on the side window shouting "OI YOU GOT ANY K?! ANY K MATE? OI!!!!!!!!!!". I tell you, there are some very strange people in Sussex.......
in 2006/7 ? i went to a free party in wales, for some ****ed up reason i took some records wanting to play. anyway it turned into a really really messy party. i took a lot of acid, pills and way too much coke i then tried to get on the decks, after a few minutes i was discretely led away from the DJ booth, and made a complete fool of myself.
ah i can laugh about it now.
I've never done anything, ever, to make myself look like a cunt, especially when I've been completly munted. Oh no sir :whoops:
played the same track twice in birmingham last month
the beauty of handwritten cds eh ?
too many to mention.
one that springs to mind was playin all 3 remixes + original of that old rebel yelle track (including the cool dub remix), 1 after another and thinkin i was the bizz :embarrassed:
at an after party in poland a few years back, askin henry to let me know when it was time for my flight home, only to later realise i should have asked him to remind me 2 hours before hand.. ended up coming home nearly penniless as i had to get a hotel for a night and another flight :embarrassed:
got munted on K with the havok lads in tysenn st bout 15 years ago while we were all meant to be playin in their little side room. needless to say people were strolling in, looking at us, havin a right laugh and moving on again.
first time ever playin on lawrie's old rig. first record on (the old technoslut with all the snares), thought i was being "da man", killed the highs just before it all kicks in but instead of bringing the highs back in i missed the knob and ended up cranking the gain!!! couple of deaf munters in the front i'd say! :lol::lol:.. and lawrie nearly had a kitten.
playin in bow road party after someone, i started with exactly the same record he finished on. total brain fart.
ive more and ill add them when i think of em.
I went all the way to london at the start of the year to catch an acid techno afterparty. not sure who was playing chris lib and ddr defo and i cant think of the rest. it started at like 9am and was to be finished at ard 2r 3 that day. I ended up going on a mad one the night before down hackney. by the time i made it to the club it was over.
Bergers birthday in the cellar in Tramore, we got told to pack up and **** off because I played waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to hard. :lol: I'm actually proud of that tbh.
that was more of schranz moment. that was actually funny outQuote:

various K based delusions where the vinyl appears to be stopped so you press play and oooooops
Popping the shutters on a warehouse in P****gton, london, looking to party it the following weekend, lifting the shutters up to be faced with a shop floor, people working, never legged it so fast in my life.
Nailing up a door to the roof at on of our parties in *****loo (from the roof, we were then gonna climb down onto the fire escape and get back in) to stop munters from getting up there, drove in last nail, 2 K`d up italians kick door down, which landed on top of us.
Too many to mention really.
my was few days ago when ive discovered that someone has ripped all scythe releases into mp3 and sharing free over the p2p programs like emule or soulseek
we never selling scythe on mp3... just to keep vinyl alive
the worst propably is the ripper it was polish guy which "supporting acid techno scene" and "he would just like to get all scythe releases on mp3" (i can imagine his arguments)
it means my years of education to people in Poland and hundret of hours spent with chating, explaining and talking over internet, radio and in real - is gone!
.... and we get no effect! :(
The day the music died...
...and then on the seventh day, AP was born.
Hail to teh new King!!!1
There was that time I asked some bird who was kind of hunched down in the squatting position if she was ok. She replied "F*ck off, I'm having a piss" :lol:
Saw a guy get stabbed to death at a free party after sonar.
That was a downer.
I saw a guy dead of a Heart attack- not nice seeing someones last moments.
Well, by not releasing digitally you are closing off your market.Quote:

So the artist has lost my sale.
You can`t stop piracy, but if you make your music available on all formats, those that love the music will pay for it.
Vinyl usually gets ripped the same day as release, so not selling digital versions of your vinyl does absolutely nothing to stop piracy.
Vinyl is very expensive and most people these days don`t want to pay £8 for an ep of which they may only like 1 track.
Sad state of affairs, but reality is reality. Embrace the future or get left behind in the ditch is what I say.
Every moment of my acid techno life has been ****ing well proper!
jesus. any funny anecdotes dude?Quote:

but slowly im thinking about moving into digital option too,
yeah i know we can't win with the piracy - its sad but very true,
as far i know most of the digital releases are "ripped and releases (again)" inside the piracy scene too, faster than vinyl version im affraid,
i seen the statistics (in polish newspaper) that 9 of 10 mp3's way of downloads are total illegaly,
only one of ten getting a chance to earn some bullshit money by label on it, scary isn't ?
anyway i would like to stay with releases on wax,
it is very important part of the techno subculture and i cant imagine future with the music only in digital version, it sounds like worst nightmare for me.

You can always sell merchandise at gigs.
The main point is to not try to fight or remain still against something that can not be beat. The best plan is to go around the problem, capitalise on it and work out what advantages can be taken from the situation. Adapt and survive.
thx for the good point, couldn't agree more,
its all about chameleon effect isn't?
adapt (mutate) > then survive
oh, and one of my worst acid techno moments, is available for download somewhere on the internet :grr: :lol:
(I was VERY DRUNK)
(infact, Athar was there on the night, but luckily missed my "set" :lol: )

really enjoyed all mixes by all guys there mate! :wink:
I was the warm up, you got there a bit later (so did everyone else luckily :lol: ) There was only about 20 people there, all of who I knew quite well, so it didn't really matter. F*ck it, innit :cheese: (you're right, it was a good party)
ffs dude im sure you were okQuote:

We found it a few minutes later. Weirded me right out though.
got knocked clean out on k at a squat party at a massage parlour in sheffield.
a big mushroom fell on my head from the psychedelic display.

No, seriously, Dark Young, listen to it.

My worst moment, to share with you all :) :lol:
edit, cos my excuse (other than being hammered) was I forgot my headphones, and the ones Boycey gave me were shit. :ruparanoid:

i've listened expecting it to be really shit like you said.
and instead i've genuinely liked it. really hard from the offset and got a good hard sound to it,
ok you had shit headphones but i loved the first 24 mins and from about 35 mins. lost it in the middle i think, i think you were being over-ambitious with your tune selection there, and some mad headrush i expect!!)
i think you worry too much, just keep practicing and nail it for when you play out again next.
it's sad, but what we can do my friend in todays world? unfortunately i think we can't do nothing with this.Quote:

Clubbing at the Complex years ago i walked out to a beautful sunny morning, put my hoody on the wrong way around and the hood went over my face, leading to a "who turned out the lights?" moment and much embarressment.
Various others that i'm happy to have forgotten.
That sounds very familiar...Quote:
