Calling all DJs that can play vinyl

[T.Beck]

I am planning a party for sometime in May that is going to be "oldschool" in that all the DJs will be spinning vinyl. SO DJs that own and spin vinyl reply with your DJ name, Style, contact info. Also preferably tracks from the mid 90s to about 2002ish, to keep with the old school theme, old school sounds too. Tom I really hope I can get you to spin an NRG set.....

[manic]

Oh dear that could be fun to hear! NRG man it's been a while hahahahahah

[Phunktion]

I've got loads of old drum n' bass on vinyl, lemme know if you want some old tech/hardstep and early neuro...

-will

[stormshadow]

ive got TONS of old NRG and hard trance...
Tom ...we should tag it up!!

Trinrib, OD404...oh god...good memories

[manic]

Dave that would be some old skool fun fur sure let's!

[T.Beck]

OK, stormshadow vs. Manic, there's one slot of 1.5 hours....

Phunktion, not sure if this party is going to have DnB, but maybe, also I am working on a possible weekly that will sometimes have a little DnB so I will get a hold of you for that.

[T.Beck]

Come on now, aren't there any more DJs in Boise that will play a vinyl set?

[S.Hood]

I got a bunch of old school trance on Vinyl if that's something your interested in... Haven't played 'em for quite some time and I'd love to break those ol' dusty's out!

[Pedro_Rolas]

i have got a ton of vinyl i will play. also have a friend from boston that is part of the crew that has a shit ton too.....you know the number tim tim

[Phunktion]

Phunktion, not sure if this party is going to have DnB, but maybe, also I am working on a possible weekly that will sometimes have a little DnB so I will get a hold of you for that.

Right on Regardless of whether I were to play a set or not, any party featuring 90's-2002ish music should have Drum n' Bass, as that was really the peak of it's popularity...just sayin *elbow*

Hit me up if you need any help with a weekly!!!

Was it really? I was never much into DnB, I just remember Trance at almost every party back then, I remember a party at skate world once with some juglist/turntablist/hip hop DJ from Oregon, thats all the jungle I recall.

PM me your contact info, # etc. because I for sure have stuff in the works for DnB......

[manic]

For a while Will played DnB @ Livewire almost every weekend

[Phunktion]

Not trying to hijack the thread or anything, but, mostly on an international level, drum n' bass was at its peak. It's never been as big here as it has been other places, but, a great deal of dj's that aren't out there playing anymore were rocking the jungle/drum n' bass thing to death at the beginning or end of parties, or in the second room. I've never had as many bookings as I did between 2000-2003...and it was winding down internationally at that point. Just thought I should clarify a little and add some to the topic

[zacklander]

I have about 200 assorted records with everything from electro, tribal,house, techno, minimal, hard techno, indie dance, etc, so I can play just about anything

[T.Beck]

OK Phunkion, you're on to Rep the old DnB on vinyl

[Hoy]

Can't wait to see an old skool set from Phunktion!

between 2000-2003... it was winding down internationally at that point. J

You make it sound like it's dead now or something! I'm sure you know it's been back on the rise for a long time, even with so many people going to dubstep.

[Aaron Liven]

The only way vinyl is coming back is if they can make it as affordable as mp3s.

[manic]

I think Hoy was trying to say that UK is still trying to stay vinyl as long as possible. A lot of producers in UK release their tracks still first on vinyl then digital... hope that changes soon

[T.Beck]

Ya, UK dubstep culture is all about Dub plates and vinyl. I think Hoy was saying that DnB isn't dead though.

[Hoy]

I think Hoy was saying that DnB isn't dead though.

You got it.

Good points from Aaron & Manic though

[manic]

I would have to agree DnB is not dead... the whole genre has matured in past few yrs just cuz it's not mainstream does not mean it's dead. I think it really depends what area you live in, urban/big cities flourish with DnB smaller towns like Boise not so much and it's a shame we are not more diverse... I think this year we will see a lot of good different music at EE something for everyone

[manic]

and I am very excited to see the smaller shows during the week that have dubstep and dnb kudos to everyone who is putting that stuff on

[T.Beck]

I hope we pack out the red room party. I went to a house party Fri. that was almost all DnB, I even dropped a few DnB tracks for a couple min.(which was all alcohol allowed me to play LOL) then Sat. at Pedros party, everyone was going NUTS for Dubstep, and as I passed around flyers all night people would ask me what a spin, and I'd say, a lot of different house genres, dubstep, and a little breaks. So many people got all excited when I said dubstep and said they wanted to hear more dubstep in Boise. Then when Dan Kaye finally dropped it, the dancefloor went from half empty/people not that into it when he was playing techno, to packed and everyone dancing and screaming and going nuts when he played dubstep. For some reason I think a lot of the DJs that spin dubstep think that people won't like it or wont dance to it or something, but Sat. was proof. I knew it'd start to blow up here... hopefully there will be events at least monthly with dubstep and DnB. What I find interesting is in other cities its the old 30 something burners getting excited about dubstep, and in Boise it seems that crowd doesn't like it and its the young kids loving dubstep, very interesting..... I met kids at Boise high substitute teaching that said they discovered it on youtube and have a whole crew of dubstep heads at Boise high..... I was suprised. I actually normally play house more, but of my upcoming shows I am playing dubstep more, which I am excited about because as of yet I have still never played an all dubstep set in front of people, its usually mixed in with the house I do(which will be the case at BANG!)

[McCabe Reed]

I have an assload of old house, disco house, filtered house, and hard NRG. Along with some older breaks. Let me know. I got tha funk, just ask Old Greg.

[Dayne5150]

saw your post for your old school vinyl event! I have tons of old school records and I also have a grip of bad ass SPEED GARAGE!!!! like the classics and a ton more. Just thought I'd let ya know Also have rare ass tracks from those time periods

[Aaron Liven]

SPEED GARAGE! SPEED GARAGE! SPEED GARAGE! Pleeeeeeeease.

[Phunktion]

When I said winding down, I meant, it wasn't the biggest scene in London anymore...It's still alive and well. I'm glad it fell out of the place it had reached, made new producers push the sound further, even though it was met with some serious opposition. If anything, Dubstep/Grime and all the other stuff that popped up in the last few years has made the genre better.

Tim, hit me up with any details if you are interested in having me!

I'd love to hear some fuckin' speed garage too, it's been ages! Last set I saw was probably Justin Case in like 2001...awesome.

[tink2008]

There is actually a big following for drum and bass that normally doesn't come out. I vote DNB and if you do I will make sure to help promote to the bass heads. PLEASE! WE need MORE BASS!!!!!

Knowing you, I thought that's what you meant. The wording seemed easy to misinterpret though. Not as easy as my wording usually is, but close

So true. A lot of people won't come out unless there's at least SOME drum and bass, and it's getting that way with dubstep too.
