I like this quote as well: "makes me larf...if they had some unknown techno DJ turn up and play a techno/acid techno set, most would probably not like it, but cos its Dave the Drummer they'll all say they love it"

I thought Dave the Drummer was hard house??? ;) ;)

poor dave

i think its a case of not knowing what the event was. Either that or someone is on smack.

come to think of it, the acid techno section has been moved into the hard house in my local record store. Bit shit really aint it????

I think its because all the hard housers are cottoning on to acid techno because hard house is dying a death.

**davethedrummer** · 21-10-2003, 07:40 PM

aha i've been discovered!!!
well it's a mixture of things really

1. the techno or acid techno scene is so quiet right now that i'm takang whatever i can get,
sorry to be a slag but you try playing every weekend to only 10 people rattling around in a club and retaining your enthusiasm for it all.
basically with the exception of he squat paties which i can't go to these days 'cos of the baby
and gigs like antiworld there isn't ll that much happenning for us london boys
well not in the u.k. anyway.
the hard house scene on the other hand is learning from it's mistakes and booking djs who are playing something a bit different to the norm and it seems to be going down well enough. also it give us old men a chance to show these young hard housers how acid techno should be played!

2. as i said before i've got to support my family from my djing these days
and although i'm working on other ways to do this to free up some time
i still rely heavily on performing for my income.
ive spent years and years not getting paid goping to squat parties for the hell of it writing tunes during the week and spending every free cent on gear/studios this includes all the time i spent with back to the planet touring squatting etc.

it's just time for me to get real about what it is i actually do and what kind of people my music mainly appeals to
well it ain't the techno people i know that for a fact!

all i can say is don't worry ( if you are worried / give a shit )
playing these kind of events won't make the blindest bit of difference to the music or the underground gigs it's juts a god offer that i can't refuse.
and it'll probably be a laugh ( perhaps not after hours of hard house but there you go )

can't have the cake and eat it???????

**The Overfiend** · 21-10-2003, 07:45 PM

Now that's the real world for you.
Very humble approach...

**Si the Sigh** · 21-10-2003, 08:22 PM

What can I say? Fair enough Henry! Hope it goes well. Don't forget you hard house ear plugs though! :lol:

**Spooney** · 21-10-2003, 08:23 PM

Im starting to notice more of the acid techno producers remixing on hard house labels aswell :roll:

It will also give you a chance to show them how to mix. Also the fat one from Tidy Trax says he's got Mark in his sites for a Tidy event.
Anyone going to see Mark and Chris Lib on Friday in Brum?

**anx** · 22-10-2003, 01:15 AM

damn. it was rumoured you were playing in saskatoon, canada for new years. woulda made the drive for that one.

o well

**davethedrummer** · 22-10-2003, 08:46 PM

yeah sorry aboot that
hehe

brian organised it but i really didn't want to do the journey at that time of year.
again it's the family we are gonna spend x mas and most of ny together
so i'm glad i'm playing in the u.k.
sorry about that though i do love saskatoon
maybe some other time???

**anx** · 22-10-2003, 09:25 PM

yes some other time, i havnt heard any of you london punks since chris on new years!!! next time will be chris again on boxing day!! this city stinks for techno :P

u gotta come to calgary next summer man. this annual festival in july called motion notion which is close to edmonton, is totally awesome. actually i was trying to get you for the one last year cause you were in town that weekend, but somehow Levi made sure you didnt know about it even tho u coulda played the friday night

he can be such a wankstain sometimes :roll:

**Si the Sigh** · 23-10-2003, 07:44 AM

'wankstain'... :lol:

**MARKEG** · 23-10-2003, 10:30 AM

i couldn't have summed the situation up any better. i feel exactly the same about certain gigs. a) you have life to support (we're not getting any younger and b) there's nothing wrong with taking your sound to new ppl. if this means hard housers then so be it. good luck spreading the message henry :)
