:pimp
it would be a fusion type competition probably. any and all dance formats diffused into each other. an experiment of sorts. taking multiple genres, eras, and styles of anything. the only thing not allowed is you can't take the competition mainstream or pop. entirely underground, but all goes. you can do rare grove, electronic all style, and anything that didnt fit into the dance category pre 1992. this requires turntablism. for me it will let me do stuff that i normally do not get to do and show diversity. we all do what we do so much it would be fresh to get into something that we don't get to do alot. skills are skills and they transfer over no matter what you do in electronic and resampling, etc. so Pre 1992 anything but the really pop stuff that you would think is still whack today. Ok, basically this rule translates into this. "if girls dance to it, and they get their panties wet over it, it flys". we all know if girls dont rock their ass to it, its whack. isn't that what it's all about anyhow? any and all fusion forms of electronic, including current elc club vibes, (house, NRG, progressive, tance, house, dancehall, reggaeton, broken beat, rare grooves, etc.) this is about turntablism. this should be alot of fun. if any or all of you are up for some fun and some openminded experiment, lets get with it. :)

if anyone has anything idfferent in mind, bring it up, we can change this anyway. lets have some fun with this.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

A1R3K...you da man baby...like your skills.

I must throw down rank on everyone here, not too many people on this board had Rick James himself walk in the first press vinyl 12 inch long version of Super Freak, first 100 copies and have it handed to him to play in front of 1200 people on a Sat night in Hollywood. Dat would be me.

One of the first reporting super young (and hung) DJ's of the explosion of the Disco/dance era. It was the most retarded and amazing time for Music drugs and seriously bad behavior.

One of the top 10 reporting disco dj's to Record World, Cash Box and Billboard mags...not to mention Top 10 play lists and most added to the LA radio stations secondary the main ones.

It was all about the technics SL 1800 table baby, with the Cerwin Vega, slide and I liked the Bozack knob/pots sometimes.

Biggest challenge on technique, guest DJ spot biggest gay club in west Hollywood Studio One (which is now Arena) 2500 guys jammin to one very flaming heterosexual?s mixes. That crowd not only demanding but if you fucked up you were OUT. Needless to say I was invited over and over again; Sat nights tuned me up for major technical mixing as well as adding flavor and style to the mix, take um and takes them down all thru the night....

I stopped spinning records and became a promoter for 75 different clubs over a 17 year period of time... being a dj is not just knowing what to play, its all timing and the "feel" of what is going on in the room and being able to fuck with it and control it ..........

I do miss it, but get to see a great one DJ A1R3K rip it up, spins with the same passion, and for sure brings me back in time to see myself.


Cheers... :pimp

Jam and Spoon:) - Stella

I'm down for this!

:-)


Sounds FUN.

Im a very skilled turntablist. been at it since 1986 and just keep at it. :-)
I do beats (oldskool and new) and am a very solid writer and producer. :-)

rapping about spam isnt exactly material.

what is?

"But if anyone is interested in submitting a mix for FLASHCASH's Emerging DJ Mix Series Volume 2 (to be released at FL Internext)..."

I'll throw ya a mix tape. :-)

Who else here is in San Diego?

I have been spinning for years and used to compete in DMC's :-)
I think there are still a few of my competition videos around.

My favs a you A1R3K and ytcracker ! :thumbsup:

theres a lot of dicksucking and ass kissing that goes on on the boards for no reason, and i am not one to get too deep into stuff like that, but to be a dj and not give props to a guy like mike, is sacrilage. this dude is the damn pope of club djs basically. i have had many chances to pick his brain and get stories from him and i am nothing more than floored by his life experiences as a nightclub dj and promoter in the most fruitful time in dance/club history. if you remember hearing about studio 54 and roxbury and other famous clubs of the disco era, he was one of the top dudes behind the decks. we are doing an indepth sit down interview for a major globally distributed dj magazine. the interview is locked down and we are gonna ask him some crazy direct questions. trust me, he has no problem answering anything i throw at him.

long live the pope.

hey now.

ive been fucking around bustin freestyles since 1st grade lol... thats like 20 years ago. So when beastie boys came around i thought 'yea us whiteys can rap too'... haha. In 4th grade i got suspended from school for doing a rap on the schoolbus on the way home with my boy jay about a girl we found out that likes him. Totally packed schoolbus, they all went crazy.. and the bitch did too... and only ratted ME out! fucking HO.



all my best shit is written of course yet ive never took the time out to seriously record some of my good ones. But me and my boy jason will throw down freestyle anytime. But put together a contest where you let written flows in and i will get fucking tricky on you.

heres a webcam vid i did a few months ago out of the blue, i asked my boy Reprazent on instant messenger what i should flow about, and him being a network admin said 'the deactivation and deletion of nt user accounts'.

http://unknownorigin.com/muezik/ntuser.avi

im not too good with freestyles... im always losing focus on shit, lol. My boy Jason can go ON and ON and ON for fucking hours without slipping his tongue. He is crazy.

heres another i did a few weeks later with my boy jason and john.... mind you john has never freestyled before... lol

http://camflows.com/freestyles/2-19-2005-1.wmv


yo Bryce you owe me some cam flowage ! :P

so yea, if theres a contest or something, put me down. i'll play.

Airek, why not setup something at Onyx room at the SD show, you, YT, Split and Evan. Show us folk how you do it?
Seems like Split, YT, and you are in, hit Evan up see if he wants a piece.

For those of you who don't know I have played with some of the biggest DJ's and rappers too. Today 50 cent was on the radio and I was tapping my foot to all the beats, yesterday I had a CD of Tiesto on and I was tapping along with my pen. ;)

I think a cool event at the SD show would be a lounge club with these guys just having fun, take the word competition out of it and just have fun. Airek is super talented, and even better when he does not drink, Jester after the D$ show yesterday you might lay low on the sauce too when you play. ;)
Evan has definitely been playing since back in the show days, once he got over the skate board ramp booth, ;)
Jester why not have Split host a night at something real low profile like Onyx or Thin in downtown SD and you guys put on a show for us.
BTW if you do this idea D$ can you invoice the sponsor $2k for me for coming up the idea please.

Aight, back to DJ'ing today, I am in the mood to play with Sasha and Digweed today.

AIR3k

you forgot about me man... :(

holy shit that's right. Krosh really does do a good job too. i need to hear some of the other guys, but just like Halcyon said, i am very impressed with the dj talent pool so far here in adult. you are very diverse and i have to say i was surprised and relieved at the same time. i was afraid when i got to the party i was in for a good ear butchering. you rock man.

should be very interesting and sounds cool

damn someone is swinging on tiesto's nuts, yes hes a great dj, only one to win 3yrs in a row of #1 DJ, but his new shit is so soft and weak, seen him at ultra about a few weeks ago, and it was nothing like his older shit, more of a deep trance then the progressive, hard trance style he had in the past. The style he has now would be the chill room, not to much dancing going on if your not under the influence of some drug. Just my 2 cents

I'd love to have a bunch of DJ's come to the studio and chop something up.

If we can arrange for these supa DJ's to come to Diego town, we can try it out. I don't want to make it a competition though, just an exhibition. More fun to display skills then have to display them and lose a competition. Should be about having fun.

Maybe after my next live show in 2 weeks.

music n porn goes together i guess...

damn i forgot about you too.


ART in the house!!!

<--- progressive tribal tech house with some breaks :pimp

100000000 dj's

gdog is delusional today. no one appointed him to organize anything. this isn't about making someone look bad. its healthy competition and we are gonna do something. i'm just putting it out there so i could get my peeps views on it. healthy FRIENDLY competition keeps everything interesting and fresh. getting together and mashing it up sounds like fun, but i am in the works of organizing an event where the djs can showcase their skills in a neutral, impartial environment. its more of a unity thing. :thumbsup

"gdog is delusional today"

I sure am, I have been djing all day here and I am totally ADD. I have been working on hand to hand pen crossovers, and a little stapler tapping on the side.

I need to go for a walk or something, I cannot focus at all.

FYI Airek, I appoint myself to do whatever I want, whenever I want. ;)

cool man i will keep you informed of everything that is goin on. :)
saw you on the show yesterday. stop drinkin yo!

hahahahaha
i'm one to talk. lol.

:pimp :pimp

Damn I thought we werent releasing this yet? WTF?

http://www.airek.com/gfy/ashley2.jpg

I just read that banner, that is some funny ass shit.

G

This is a contest, what do we win?

The drinking was FUN though. Come on now. Im not a drinker... me = cheap date. :-)
However you are right that it does effect your skillz. :-)

We had fun doing that, no matter how stupid I looked LOL

So, who's down to hook up this week for something? Say Wendsday, my office?
I have tables there...

GDog, you are still in SD right? Call me.. 619-227-8845

yo. just poking ya! that shit was funny. about beer number 4 you started slurring and it was comedy. i only clown because normally its me and people always tell me how loaded i was.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

all in good fun.

I'm game...been DJing and throwing parties for almost 15 years. Any style music but I prefer Deeeep House (Naked Music, OM, Doubledown, etc). AND I'm a scratchin' mofo. Been scratching for the past 3 years almost daily. Got a new mix being mastered as I type this of Deep House tracks with some nice spoken word and some laid back scratches.

Here's a site for an event I do with the City every year:

www.electronicastage.com

Right on! Doing it now. Bayfest is always the first week of October so clear your calendar! We always do an insane after-party as well. Big thanks to the master D-Money for consulting with us last year making it an after-party everyone is still talking about! :thumbsup

I'm gonna have to make it to one of your parties.

dam theres alot of dj's in here! I'm on the rapping side of the game. I put out 4 records since 1999, currently workin on the 5th CD.
I think when most people think of rappers they think of what mtv n vh1 portray; basically a buncha thug types sportin platinum and iced out grills, pimp cups lol, and all that crap. But in the midwest, and especially Detroit, theres a whole other thing goin on here. Your all probably familiar with Kid Rock, Eminem, ICP, Esham etc. so with pioneers like that, you gotta come with not only skills on the mic, but good music, and either a wild persona or a huge gimmick! :thumbsup
Me personally, i'm known for bein Detroits only Octopus wearing rapper; Mr.Scrillion .. www.scrillion.com and of course for "Rappin & Kidnappin". Actually, and somewhat unfortunately, i'm more known for kidnapping people than my music...but i'm tryin to change that. :winkwink:

Detroit likes to ROCK its rap music. Theres so much talent here, so many rap artists you wouldn't believe it. Anyone wanna collab, hit me up, i'm always down to work with new people if they have dope beats!

We got nuthin' but love for D$ in the dirty-dirty! :thumbsup

YEAH! love to see all the heads in here posting. verifies how healthy our market really is. i love how the music bonds people together. music and porn goes hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly.

I make beats, I'm not going to say who for.
I like being a nobody
