Smiley DJ Sunset Project @ Home feat. Matt Ashworth . . Review - PHOTOS ARE UP!

PHOTOS ARE UP, GO TO PAGE 2!

Hey guys, I know I'm on late,
My day, headed into city, met up with the lovely Helena, swaped some sweet sweet 12" (cheers Helen!), and then headed down to Home.

Went to the door at 7, said I was djing, got a mad Staff Pass i got to clip on my belt, then went up to the Silver room. I loved it, you get stopped by Security, you show your pass and they move the rope aside for you and call you sir. It was awsome!

Got to the Silver room with my sack o recs, there was a dude there, bla bla bla, he asked me if I could beatmix. I said yeh of course. He was like "Can you teach me?"
Now this was the guy that was looking after the Silver room. I also found out he doesnt even like club music much, he likes rock etc. WTF!
So I mucked around figuring out the Vestax Mixer, got the hang of it, and got the hang of the CDJ 500's.
THen this other dude came, he was 15 and he starts playing blinding trance . . 1999, Destination Sunshine etc. I was "SHWEEET"

One thing I was not hapy about in the SIlver room, they had all the couches out, so there was no dancefloor! But that was ok. There werent many peeps in there when it opened so I went down and danced to Pee Wee for a while. Hard Trance
Then headed back up and took over the decks. The dude was so mad, he goes "play what you want, are you ok if I go, yep, seeya be back later"
I had the whole place to myself. So I played mainly prog, as it wasnt the right atmosphere for trance. I think I played

Infusion - Legacy (Junkie XL Mix)
Planet Funk - Who Said? (Club Mix)
Slacker - Looky Thing
Timo Maas - Ubik (The Breakz)
Trisco - Ultra (Dub)
Echomen - Substance (Main Mix)
Orbital - Illuminate
Ian Wilkie - Guten Morgen
Bedrock - Emerald
iio - Rapture (AvB Mix)

It may not be in order, first and last track are right, but thats it. There were more people in there at the end than at the start, so it was cool. The guy kicked me off then, he wanted to play 80's rock. But all the beat mixing was awsome, and the mixing, the dude told me it was awsome, and great mixing etc bla bla bla and that's how Pee Wee abd that started out (I hope Im not like Pee Wee!)
I know Planet Funk went down well, my mates said it was an awsome song, and the dude was singing along with it. Also Ubik and Trisco (my cool turn off TT slow dwn then at the break, hammer it back in again!, got heaps of well dones for that) and Rapture of course, cause everyone knows the words!

Then I just went downstais checked out Mark Dynamix. I thought he played Prog Trance, he was playing al this BXR stuff, hard trance, I was dissapointed.
Some of the tracks played by other DJs in the main room

iio - At The End
Sasha - Expander!!!!!
Kosheen - Catch
4 Strings - Diving
Some Ferry Mix I saw

But overall a good night, I loved it, never had the shakes (WOOHOO!), about the other DJs in the Silver, they couldnt mix a drink! It was basically some dude playing whateve he wanted, just crossfading. But they had fun.

To Helen about the pussycats, I was going through my records behind the decks and this chick comes around and kneels down next to me, leaning on me, she was totaly pissed off her head, prob on drugs too, and I was just talking to her "hows your night bla bla bla" and shes like "yeeeh yeeeh" like putting her arms around me, but she was drunk, so I just kinda moved off.

Then we went out, and sat by the harbour for like an hour. Awsome.

Next time I'm gonna send the dude about 100 demos, until he can't take anymore and lets me play in the main room. (ha yeh right).

But thanks for all the support, i really appreciate it, hopefully this may get the ball rolling, id love to get some more gigs *crosses fingers*, plus its nice to have "I have played at Home, Sydney" on my bio

Cheers
Matt

Well nice work dude, but that is such a different tracklisting then the one you submitted and what about this pussy? did you end up nailing her or what?


Posted by Audio Beverage on Apr-24-2003 11:03:

considering you were only originally allowed to play for 30 minutes, it looks like must have mixed for over an hour?


Posted by escee on Apr-24-2003 11:36:

No dont expect them soon. My digital camera is giving me the absolute shits! The software wont install, keeps teling me there is an illegal operation and it wont go. I cant do anything, I dunno what to do! I have mad photos too!

Anyone here work for Kodak?


Posted by webmeister on Apr-24-2003 12:51:

Sorry buddy, don't work for Kodak, but if you have the software (like drivers and stuff), there's no reason u can't install everything on a mate's computer and burn the photos to CD or something...

Good to hear you kicked ass though - hopefully this will be the first of many!


Posted by Philby on Apr-25-2003 13:28:

wow well done matt, not a bad way to kickstart a career at only 15!

Re: Sunset Project @ Home feat. Matt Ashworth . . Review

Matt, It's great to hear that it went well, and that you got to play for longer than scheduled.

Keep at it and you may eventually get some paid gigs!
Don't forget school though.

I agree that the hard trance in the main room is pretty crap. They should start the young ones off on their clubbing life with a good dose of uplifting stuff, not the incessant crude pounding emotionless dribble.

As webmeister said, try installing the software on another computer.
Show us the photo of you with that chick.

I have tried it on another comp, same thing, so im ringing Kodak first thing monday morning and if its software or USB cable or something I will get them dealt with strait away! Dont worry, I will have these photos up sometime within the next few weeks. Im really pissed off about it! Only time i ever really need it to work it fucks up. Murphy's damn law!
Lol dont have a pic of me with the chick, sorry Wish I did ey!

ROFLMFAO


man sounds like it couldn't have gone any better! (no doubt due in part to your ability)

Such a musical knowledge and ability at 15 is pretty amazing if you ask me.

Good work.


Posted by matt_a on Apr-28-2003 01:47:

OK DUDES I GOT ALL THE PHOTOS UP!! Here is me!
