Your worst acid techno moment?

[xes]

Saw a guy get stabbed to death at a free party after sonar.
That was a downer.

I remember i saw a guy being "led" towards the fencing by the bouncers at a helter skelter. He was screaming " no no no no" as they handed him over to some dark figures on the other side of the fence.

I also walked into the "toilet" at an exodus, only to find the floor covered in blood and 4 burly looking geezers in there. Luckily I was tripping pretty hard, and pretended i was looking for a sandwich machine. Heard from someone later on, that a guy had got his throat cut in there, for ripping someone off.

i have to say athar that i agree with steve 100%

i think to limit yourself to vinyl is a bad move for the label. supplying in a vinyl format is definitly to be applauded but mp3, in this day and age, is going to reach a much bigger market 9whether it be legal or not).

Well, by not releasing digitally you are closing off your market.
I don`t DJ any more, so I don`t buy vinyl.
I buy all my music digitally. If there is osmething I like that is vinyl only, I will download an illegal rip.
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.

thanks guys for the comment, really appreciated it

ive thought all the time if something will be strictly limited on vinyl and unavailable (legaly) on mp3 then dj's and collectors which like the release will buy it on vinyl because they have no other options and it will help to survive the label.

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.

A label is now a medium of promotion.
Neither vinyl nor mp3 make much money, but the promotion will secure gigs and other avenues of revenue.
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.

[Athar]

thx for the good point, couldn't agree more,
its all about chameleon effect isn't?
adapt (mutate) > then survive

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)

Remember blethering with a random for ages at a party, and mid conversation he freaked out and started scrabbling on the ground.

When I asked what was wrong he looked at me with a red fleshy socket where his eyeball should have been and said in his thick Glaswegian accent "I cannae find me eye"

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.

Dislocated my jaw at Lift in Edinburgh during a cracking intense set from Paul C. Had to quietly leave the dancefloor and pull it back into place, didn't feel a thing due to some particularly flavoursome rolexes. Dont think ive ever told anyone.

[xes]

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.

[gunjack]

listen dude we can all be our own worst enemy.



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.

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! :(

it's sad, but what we can do my friend in todays world? unfortunately i think we can't do nothing with this.

btw. you heard about affair with Kazik (polish artist)? someone from recording studio stole a material for new "Kult" album and share it on p2p and internet before official release. that is ****ing unbelievable. you know what Kazik said on his blog? "Każdy kto podniósł kradzione jest dla mnie kurwą." and i completly agree with him.
