Global Gathering

Maynooth

Looks like a great line up to me. Anyone heading to Cork for it next month? I'd go just for Paul Oakenfold and David Moralles. The rest is a bonus.

SuprSi

I'd love to go, but it's a long way away from Dublin and without the option of heading to my gaff afterwards I'll be skipping it. I'm too into my create comforts these days, especially after a buzz!!

Joey Shabadoo

I'm thinking about it.I'm only really bothered about Carl Cox and Chris Liebing though.

Might make a week out of it,Felix on the 5th as well !

rancheros

Think there's about 30 heading down from sligo roscommon, going to be a mad one

I think its a case that the dance line-up for oxegen was de-skangerised to discourage the scourge of this country from going and global gathering helped entice them away with the big well known names(not good however)...Lisa Lashes case in point.

I'd go purely for dave clarke, steve lawler and morales myself.

Cant wait for mylo and morillo at oxygen.....i hope joey negro and kerri chandler dont clash with morillo and deep dish respectivley.

krz7e

yeah, knackers & cokeheads. thats where they'll all be.

Festivals like this are destroying electronic music.
Actually they probably already have destroyed it.

Long live techno though!

Executive Steve

no drum and bass.....

Oakenfold and Moralles are the two of the worst DJs(among others) there imo.

Maby Clarke, Liebing and the other few techno jocks but its not worth goin I think. The crowd will be mostly "look at me I'm 16 I do 7 E's and that makes me cool" types.

Yeah and why no DnB? what the f*ck is up with that. A decent festival would have a variety

2tel1

...so I wont be goin, then...

krz7e

The truth is the day of this type of thing in ireland is well gone, maybe it will come back but it will be a long ****ing time. Oh and 2tel1, it wont be look at me im 16 and do 7 e's it willl be "look at me, I do 7 lines of coke". Thats the way its gone now.

I actually read an article recently, cant remember where (maybe it was idj) but it was sayin the the drum 'n bass crowd are apparently "very violent and dangerous" and that promoters dont want them at their parties.
so thats probably the reason.

fair enough, the crowds at the really big [4000+] drum and bass events over there have a pretty bad reputation... thing is, over here, if you're a knacker you're into hard house and trance etc, over there, drum and bass is the real knacker music, burberry caps and muggin other punters at knife point and smokin crack inside the dance, and that's just the mc's....

whereas in the uk techno is the more "studenty" music, its the complete reverse here, and god knows there'sway less bitchiness associated with the drum and bass scene here - some of the things you hear techno heads who play on the same lineups regularly etc saying about each other behind each others back are staggering...

i'd be more worried about violence at a hard house night.

Helix

techno is knacker music in the uk

hard house is for the upper middle class

its all a bit strange over there to be honest

clairey

I got my ticket yesterday cant wait!! the carl cox and friends arena is gona be unreal ill be there all day n nite!!!

krz7e

dont think theres **** all hard house (hard dance now) in ireland anyway. Except, maybe in the north.


Its most of the english line-up that are coming to play at Godskitchen in Ireland anyway. As you probably know its on for 2 days in the UK, Fri & sat with camping of course. So, I reckon they just thought **** it we will make another day out of it and give the Irish ****ers Sunday night.
SUNDAY ****ING NIGHT???

anyways, if there was no drum 'n bass in the UK, doubt the promoters were arsed organising it for Ireland.

its more or less the same here, all my mates over in DCU and a good few in the eMusicSoc are Techno heads

Chucky the tree

so yes, everyone into techno music is a student.

StickyMcGinty

Chucky the tree

Clarke is a huge knacker magnet these days[this forums moderator making my argument in one](haha lenny) They just go to clarke cus charlo sez hes rappid and cant wait to buzz on "way of liof" and clarke actually spun it twice the last time i seen him do a DJ set. I refuse to go see him..im above the scum that pay to see him and clarke has no love for dj sets anymore.

StickyMcGinty

will clarke by playin and electro & techno set like world service 2, or will he just bang out the techno?

chern0byl

Lots of World Service 2 self promotion and probably leaning towards electro. He was very pissed that the electro cd on the original World Service recieved no real attention[im told] and seems to launched himself on an electro for all campaign since. Evident in his "techno" sets.

StickyMcGinty

whatcha think of ws2 anyway? i dont like those dam cdj's, vive le vinyl!!

To be honest i have not heard it Vinny. I really enjoyed both mixes on WS and im sure i will like WS2 when i get a chance to listen to it. The track listing on the techno cd seems amazing tbh and because its clarke, it shouldnt disappoint.

What did you think of it yourself?

Im not a DJ so i dont have any particular preference for vinyl or cd's. If anything the technics cd decks clarke uses look alot sexier than any turn table i have ever seen. He said the real difference between his and the pioneer cdj's is the look and i have to agree. They do look far better than the cdj's.

StickyMcGinty

i thought the techo side is great, up until aobut 2/3 the way through, it gets a littl hip hoppy for my likin!

The elctro side is alright right, but again it gets a little 80's about half way true, which annoys the hell outta me!

its well worth ithe investment chernobyl, tis a good listen!

Qube

Gday guys (I hope I'm not digressing from the topic here)

I'm flying over from Australia on a European clubbing expedition. I'm going to both days of GKGG and I'm a bit clueless and could really use your local help...

I need somewhere to stay the night of the first night (29th). I looked at the tube map and it looks like Birmingham is nearby. Aside from sharing a tent with randoms, where is the best and most convenient place to stay? (Keeping in mind that trains stop at 10pm/11pm). Thanks guys!

Why do people call all cd decks cdj's?

The only cd deck called cdjs are pioneers. I know its anal but it does me head in.

Why do people call all vacuums hoovers?

To be fair, its nearly a year since he did his very first all cd gig (TEN in Waterford) and insisted even then that he would not use the pioneer decks. Its well known. He actually brought 2 cd decks around with him for about 2 months.

Good marketing domination and brand awareness quite simply.

its about time we get that amount of class djs in the one place.carl cox + friends would be enough for me but gotta check out sasha plus our own little red headed friend {john power}

bush, your an angry, angry man

Ok vinyl is lovely and all that but seriously, who gives a ****. As long as the tunes are decent, and the DJ fires down a tune every couple of minutes and keeps the transitions varied, it good.

Personally I dont mind CDJs, (I use the things) and imo its much harder to scratch on than it is with vinyl.

Oh and Dave Clarke has ,sadly, gotten to be a knacker magnet. Remember he was at Oxegen 2003? When he was at the start of his set I was walking down to the campsite. This fat skanger was wobbling around shouting at people for not goin up to Clarke...nice!
