A music revolution is a long time coming.

Back to the raves anyone?

NYE is just one commercial ass biscuit of epic proportions anyway.
What does it actually mean?

It`s time to work on building the underground from the underground again.

[DarkYoung]

It`s time to work on building the underground from the underground again.

goddam straight.

i'm so out of touch won't even try and humour suggestions about how that could be done.

i see a lot of 'underground parties' as vehicles for the 'free-party' organisers to make a free buck from the marks. shame.

a lot of the guys i knew who did it with some kind of sense of 'keeping the dream alive', have mainly had to sell up their stuff, too much fear, police being too heavy-handed.

[Blackout Chief]

and BTW thanks H for being so god damn reasonable with ya fee. Sure it's a nice amount, but you're defo not taking the piss and that is hard to find these days mate. Respect.

[SlavikSvensk]

the economics of techno were much more sustainable when a big party still only involved one or two people from outside the local area, supported by local djs.

the whole superstar dj thing makes me want to vomit. but as long as venues are willing to pay them what they demand, they'll keep it up.

[clubsynthetic]

Why not spread your bets?

I like the idea of not going for loads of big acts. Maybe one or two to headline a big party. But you could be A) Discovering DJ talent out there and B) Maximising the scope of yer party C) Saving on a lot of flights, hassle and sillyness

I mean, if you were to get loads of the UK best balls to the wall, genre busting techno DJs out there from different regions in the UK, think all yer london/edinburgh/glasgow/manchester/leeds/stoke on trent :P DJs to submit demos for a comp or selection, you could create alot of buzz with a big party with not much bling. I'm sure there are many clubs (unless they to ocan afford the astronomical prices) at new year who resident DJs would love a chance to rock it with a big crowd and could probably muster one for a massive UK orientated party at new year. ;)

[clubsynthetic]

but aye, artists like Subhead, Jamie ball, Jerome HIll, Rob Stow, Henry Cullen, Dave the Drummer and all that ain't silly you could still balance it even further.

[Woksaus]

So, Mark, how's it going with bookings and stuff? Did you get the bulk of the bookings done, or are you still looking for (reasonably priced :P) artists?

[The Overfiend]

Just seen Jamie Ball kill it this weekend.
Well worth the consideration ;)

alot of people are saying people / dj's are out of order and not helping the scence by asking for crazy money. but as far as my limited knowlage goes, uk is the only area where techno is in decline,everywhere else in europe its booming, so what might seem a silly amount here is normal over there considering its nye.

why fly over here for less money??

If you are talking minimal/tech house then maybe
but anything else forget it.

[basslinejunkie]

hmmm. i presumed that techno was fairly healthy abroad.

[Woksaus]

It is here in Holland, but it's almost always either minimal/tech house or hardtechno.

[Woksaus]

Am I mistaken, or will it be this?

[Smear]

In hindsight mentioning the size of the budget here was probably a mistake too, word was bound to get round.
