****ing hell this was an absolute awesome night!. Simms was excellent as per usual as was Oliver Ho and Derrick May where good 2.
Star of the show however was the man like Surgeon!!!!. The first time I have had the pleasure of hearing this man and I was well impressed. Filthy and Nasty hard techno which totally messed with my head!!.
Does he play anywhere in Scotland as I would like to see him closer to home??.
Will :)
Couple of mates of mine went to this ;)
Surgeon is just the best - end of story. :rambo: :rambo:
It was the shit he was playing!. I have never heard anything like it before!. Loads of Old Skool samples and his sound was so agressive and raw!. It was awesome. My mates called it 'Industrial Techno'.Quote:

Did Oliver Ho play hard or new found naptime?
Apparently he was using a Laptop to Re-edit tracks or something??Quote:

oliver ho played with ableton live + midi controller ... he used the "live" section of hte soft chainging from one loop to another and controlling mixer + effects with the midi control ...
no pre-sequenced tracks, just a small piece of paper .. what i call a good live act !!
the nite was amazing, yeah.. too bad i havent heard surgeon, but the description of his set is just the usual thing hes been doing for year now
oh, well thank allah it was a live act
What a night. That was superb. :clap:
Sims and Finke kicked things of superbly. I wasn't overly impressed with Derrick May, but it wasn't bad. Oliver Ho was good, and Surgeon... ****ing hell. Made my night. Just made my night. Evil, twisted beats. As tiddlypeep said, it was raw, full of energy, just quality. :clap: :twisted: :clap:
I'm in the process of uploading some pics to my site. I'll link it when it's ready.

Surgeon and Regis are doing there BMB thing at the beginning of March at Dogma in Edinburgh
Apologies for not shrinking the pics before I uploaded them :roll:
Split Photos
some kew pics !! i wish you had taken more pics of the girls there .. they were (almost) all pretty !!
they are all older in the club.
i also noticed that lots of people have really strange skin color and very big eyes.
Ouch. I Feel sore :eh:
sims and finke-nice( liked finke playing it a bit more cooler)
Ho live- nice
Derrick may-3hours a bit too much but again nice
Surgeon- same set but different order to Hog the week b4 but still the highlight of my night. lots of re fuked aphex, drum and bass, kraftwerk, whitehouse, nitzy,
i have mixed feelings of the night. The music was way way above par. so were the people......
Its just there were two many of them. You couldnt walk from one side of the dance floor to the other in half an hour. It was £4 for a beer :shock:
but im just being a pesimistic fuker and want that sorta line up down the local social club.
wiked night
Nice one Matt 303, Patrick, TioneB and anyone else i met. Paranoid- Nice to meetyou again and i look 4ward to many a good grimy night with ya in the future.
also, surgeon isnt using final scratch as of l8ly. He has been djing using chopped loops etc with ableton live and a midi contoller.
4 punds?!?! when we went to slovakia it was like half of a pound i think.

didn´t know that :eh:
Beatcounters are notoriously dodgy tho, you can't use one effectively with final scratch in the same way you can't use one on a mixer or a deckQuote:

I guess he could have, does FS still run on BEOS tho? If so, as far as I'm aware it would be impossible to run FS and Ableton at the same time on the same laptop.Quote:

plus butty i stood and watched him use ableton and a midi controler for an hour.
no, it runs on osx and embedded linux under xp. soon to be native on xp. regardless, interesting that he's doing all-ableton setsQuote:

he dj's with it in an inovative way tho. he doesnt just mix tracks. he chops loops from records and combines them to create live fuked up shenanigans. lots of the tunes he plays are his remakes of other peeps tracks. he will constantly have at least two seperate loops playing at once.Quote:

a big big thanks to all who turned out, especially those who travelled from far away, it was a very successful night and obviously there's a couple of issues we'll bear in mind for the next one but overall it was an extremely positive start to the project and we're happy.
watch out for....
split vs atomic jam. may 1st.
retro_vert 005. june 12th
plus some special one off nights in the summer.
thanks for your support.
split/rv crew.Â*
saw the split aj thing in the toilet. wonder what thats gonna be like?
anyone got any info????????? :?:
Split is there any chance your gonna have another boat party in the summer.
Cant beat bombing up and down the river thames drinking beer and listening to techno.
at least one, yes.
Oh fuck yeah! I'd be well up for a boat party. That sounds tremendous. :love:
about beatmatch stuff well to me its part of the dj work ... why not instead playing a recorded set and drinking beers....
nd yeah amp is right, the crowd was so ****ing dense ... too bad nobody did some crowd diving from the place above the floor...
well why beatmatching exists? cause when djing was invented there wasnt any other way to merge two tunes together.
why dont you go play acoustic guitar or something?
now some kewl samplers exist you dont have to produce your owns.. just rip surgeon's ones and you will sound the same ... youre using your skills in a useless wayQuote:

i rem seeing acardipane like 9 years ago when he was doing live PA's. using keyboard, drum machines etc. was crazy seeing someone program the sounds live and then play with them.
this Ableton is taking all the fun out of it i think. is not fun to watch at all.
id rather see som1 playing with records and hearing people touching things. rather then him pushin buttons on laptop....
