Call For DJs bands and ideas

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

Oh yeah, if I get on, I'm gonna rock out an Ableton Live Digital Mix.

nice.... do you do micro-loop/sample style grooving, ala faderfox, or do you mean just arranging full tracks for a dj set, or combo thereof, or?

What style will you be bringin'? If you can send me some clock, I can lay down some sick basslines and acid leads with the FR-777 or the TM3030... And bring the jomox kick into the groove ala carte...

Looks like I have enough musicians now to do some serious acid damage... if anyone else wants to participate, now's the time to speak up. At this point, only bring one piece of gear, or just borrow ours. We have too many machines already as it is.

What's the scoop on organizing floor space and PA time? BYO PA? I'm driving in a GTi from San Diego, so that's a bit tough!

Combo!

I play breaks/electroclash/indie/electrohouse/drum n bass/metal

I'm down for fucking some tunes up (possibly during the day?), but not during my set. Sorry mate.

Yeah, no doubt! That's right up our acid alley, style-wise.

Ok, but now, do we have a sense for where/when there will be a PA during the day? Will there be multiple locations/PA's to play from set up? At this rate, one doesn't look like it will be enough! :p

I'm going to bring some AD converters to record with for us...

zziks, you got email. Sorry, I've been out of town getting stupid drunk.

Cmos invented a new kind of drunk at Toorcon... "Johnny Cash drunk."

I just get Mitch Mitchem drunk.

Mitch Mitchem drunk (v): stumbling around, saying inappropriate things to everyone, flirting with women that are way out of your league but find it "cute" that you're so hammered, chain smoking clove cigarettes, and double/triple fisting drinks.

I think Defcon should play at Defcon along with Cruiciform Injection and the Gothsicles. I talked to all of these guys and gals, and the seem interested in doing the show, but you know how musicians are, sometimes they just need to be invited;-) if you need phone numbers, or email addresses just send me an email.

I like the idea.

Now we just need to have the projectors playing the movie DEF CON 4 on one screen while on the other people play the video game DEFCON, drinking DEFCON energy drink, wearing DEFCON snowboard gloves, and secure their laptops with DEFCON 1 computer locks.

What about the opening sequence from Futurama with the Billboard advertising DefCon as a product that kills, Owls?
(I think it is owls.)
And add that scene from the TV Series, "The X Files" where the two agents visit Las Vegas and Attend DefCon (Convention) which is a convention for Defense Contractors?

Cot, if you are going to go that far, let's just up pictures of the Lone Gunmen :)

Or simply start launching nukes to push the defcon level to the max! :)

@Jackalope: thanks for the support :)

I like the idea of having music day & night. I also volunteer for playing some downtempo/chillout/ambient during daytime. I plan on playing all digital this year, so I'm not limited by vinyl weight ;)

Sounds great....I'll be looking forward to hearing it, and if you want some live cello / violin with your ambient tracks let me know

Sure, you're welcome to play along, should be fun.

@Staff: so will there be music besides b&w ball?
well, I have everything on my laptop, so I'm set :)

Now that's hawt! Just the think we've been looking for for our acid live set...

I still don't understand how all this goest together, PA-wise. Will there be multiple PA's located around the campus? I'm wondering if we should set up an improvised 'calendar' to quasi-organize time? I'm bringing my beatmaster counterpart along with me, and we'll be able to do our own submixing with our gear...but we still need a stereo PA to jack into, and of course...time alotted.
We can acid jam live on our gear for hours on end...so as much time as is feasible, and whatever PA location is clever. I was kind of thinking of setting up in one of the sky lounges this year....if only to help with the security of our hardware... since we are BYOAM's (Bring yo' own acid machines).

How does playing the cello alongside 303 basslines sound to you, btw? I might bring my horn as well. We could run you through the SP-404, and let a minion twiddle your FX knobs while you play, etc...

Seriously though...what's up with calendar/PA-reservation?

ta!

The DefCon BlowPops

Our new band name.

Ok, well... all I know is that if i'm dragging my gear at 140mph and 120 deg.far., and along with my producer and acid cohort, well, I just hope there's a PA to jack into when i get there.

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

I'm bringing my acid hardware with me... any other acid musicians/ technical operators in the house? E.g., any else know how to drive elektrons, jomox's, and Future Retro's??? I may or may not have fellow musicianhaxors coming with me this year, so I'm actively soliciting other artists who might want to jam with my gear or their own. In fact... a massive defcon acid party live would be...well, insane!

I can bring a electrotribe mk11, a dx-200 and a microkorg to jam with yah.
