A Review; The FROG

bangin...

going back in a few min....hes spinin till 666666666

review later

Just got back, although i wish i was still there hearing the last few minutes of this guys brilliant set. He passed all my expectations tonight.....something i thought would be impossible to do. TA's out in full force tonight just tearin up the dancefloor. Nat dancin in the frog suit while Scumfrog is bangin away on his digital drums....just pure classic night. Disko-kandi, it was a pleasure....and i hope you enjoyed tonight even a fraction of what Deep Dish did for you! Cono_sur......STOP FUCKING STALKING ME MAN!!! ITS GETTING CREEPY!!!!!

LOL @ pic with LKD.

Awesome set. Glad I decided to head over to systems. Disko-kandi, you're hot! Hmmm.. what else. Nice seeing the usual crowd, always a pleasure. My left foot hurts.

hehe...naaww..ur just seeing things!

i had a great nite too!! it was really great to finally meet some more of you tonite and see some familiar faces!!

tatgirl ...ur great!! hope to see more of you! thanks for taking some pics -which i'm sure will look horrible cos i'm so not photogenic at all, esp at a club ...all sweaty and saucer eyes!
have a safe trip to DC!! have fun at glow when you see the boys!! give them a 'big up' from TO, from one of their biggest fans and admirers!! and come back soon so we can get this party started!

as for the other TA's - super nice to meet you all, to see those smiling faces, to feel that great party mood and that welcoming community feel the TA's are famous for, and of course to lay down some nice grooves with you -TechnoAddict!

Marge - you left early?? i was looking for you!!!

John -seriously, don't worry about the GL!!! it happens ... thank you for putting me on it! ...

... oohhhh, i am soooo spoilt (mostly by DD) that i actually have to admit that i wasn't very impressed by the frog ... he slapped on one record after the other...bang bang bang ... some glitches here and there ... inconsistencies, discontinuity ... just plain and random. he had his moments but in overall ...i've heard better, even from the ARIA residents and Mtl bedroom dj's! ... mmmm...i had to leave early...which i normally NEVER do! sorry guys, don't like to beg to differ but ...

HOWEVER, Luke Fair,on the other hand ...maannnnnn ...love that guy!!! pure quality! *drool
he made all up for it, despite!

who was the last dj in the vip? he was rather good too!

So Mrs. Spice...where were u??

omg Scumfrog was DIIIIIIIIIIIIIRTY..however i have to say the dirtyness did fade away towards the last quarter of his set which reminded me of diginut's post bout sets not being too great if only dirty....

hmmm..been a while since ive posted a review...ill let the pros handle that part..lol

im glad i walked around and caught some of the breaks in the back room and some parts of Mute's set ..All DJs at System were very DIRRRTY last night....mustve been a mission "cleaning" it out afterwards.

its amazing that we being TAs were in full force for a prog house dj and picked him over a trance dj

hmm...so once again i took some pics.... ill put em up somewhere soon....

wowzers.

scumfrog blew me away, wish i could've stayed until the end, damn job make me wake up early. i have 2 hours sleep now and brain pain/.


Luke Fair was throwing down a killer opener. and then scumfrog came on and ripped the trance outta my pants.. wha? i dunno, he was real good tho.

the drum machine & vocals were such a trippy addition to his set. simply awesome.

shout outs to all the regular ta's (liam, nat, dallas, az, diginut, graham, marge) and new ones i met tonite (techno addict - we're practically neighbours!)

btw...how the hell could u possibly post during his set????dont tell me u ahve a laptop with wireless access

Interesting nite ..

Place was pretty busy when I got there with John and Ariel. Got a chance to walk around and find all the TA's before Frog got on. Luke Fair played a great warmup set. Frog's set was definately different. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it did hav its unique moments with the LP and vocals that he threw in there, as well as the Duran Duran remix, right Nat ?

Nice seeing everyone too. (John, Ariel, Nat, Graham, Dallas, Margs, Jeff, Tommy, Jeff II, Jarek, Jason, Jason II, LKD, Az, Steve, Silke, Aaron, Igor, CrazedCanuck, Monish, Ben, Fuad, ryanparks and partyprincess) Shouts also go out to Mute for the wickid set that packed the VIP room towards the end of the night and refused people to leave .. hope u liked the leftover eggroll!

Anyhow, on a sad note John left my jacket behind the couch near the DJ booth of the VIP room. We tried looking for it before leaving Systems but it wasn't there anymore. If any of you guys happen to hear it turning up, it's a black windbreaker with a hood.

Anyways, overall it was an okay nite. But coming off Steve Porter and TA Invasion 04 there, I can't say it was "up there" for my list of nights at System. Hopefully BT will make up for that ..

ps. Nat PLZ. upload ur pics to Beh before heading to DC ..

i can lift you up pretty high, but i'm not carrying you anywhere

damn sounds like a nice night

sorry i missed it

RIBBIT!

Wow! I didn't expect him to play that long! Even tho I need to do a million things b4 my 9-10 hr drive to DC today, I stayed til the end. It was brutal waking up today. And the last thing I need to do is sit on the 'puter to write some review.

GREAT show of TA's in attendance, especially since John '00' was around the corner. Luke Fair played a great opening set. Threw down some nice tracks in there. Then, the Frog leaped on the decks! The yell we gave each other when he saw me there up front... Woo hoo! It was well worth the very long wait to bring him here. (Thanks again, System Soundbar!) Haven't seen him since Miami in March. 4+ hrs of his trademark froggy sound. I hate to say so, but soooo many of the good tracks were dropped after u left, Jarek. I did get your froggy signed 4 u, tho. Between your frog sign, Rob's Kermit puppet, and my frog costume & rotating wardrobe of shirts, we showed him some serious love. (apparently, no other city has done that sorta stuff for him- kinda weird, cuz it's SO obvious!) Ah, it was so much fun hopping around in the frog outfit!
So many good tracks with guitar & bass riffs. 2 different mixes of "Music Revolution"!! "My Time" by his alias Dutch feat. Crystal Waters on vocals, "The Switch"- Planet Funk, "Stand"-Jewel, "Stoned"- Dido, that Duran Duran remix, and so many more familiar tracks. Every time he dropped a song he knew I would know, he looked at me, and it was like "Oh, yeah!" Would've loved it if he closed out the nite w/ his remix of "Days go By" to wind things down, but oh well! Some tracks were SO killer- and they were all stuff that he remixed or produced. The drum machine and microphone crowd interaction were amazing!!! For the 1st time in Toronto, he said it was great (tho he'll prepare a better sound check next time- he would've liked the sound to be better on the floor).
Let's bring him back soon!!!!!!!

Amazing track. Good review Nat, felt like I was there.

I just woke up and I'm still cracked out! I think I can honestly say that this was the best party I've been to at System, (and Ii've been to a bunch!) I'm kinda sprisedd actually that the reviews aren't any better. My friend got sick around 4 so I had to take her home, so I didn't get to hear the rest of his set. How did he do those vocals?? Did he have a voice synthesizer or changer up there? FUKK, song after song, I was in bliss!

So, all in all pretty good. I was still on a high from Ken Ishii the night before, so I wasn't expecting to be blown away, and picking a prog DJ over John '00 was a leap of faith for me, but I'm glad I did it.

Luke Fair actually spun a damn good opening set, and I recognized one of his tracks from Mike's demo (forget the name though ). Scumfrog's track selection was really awesome - I can't say that I recognized any of them, but a very bangin' set indeed, actually made me want to dance instead of sleep.

And for anyone who thinks this is a mediocre review, I usually never have anything good to say about prog DJs. So really, great set from the 'frog.

On an aside, I was *NOT* happy with the politics at the door... I hope you tear 'em a new asshole, John.

He's not a prog DJ! He spins UK House eh?? I think he'd bite your head of if you told him that. I managed to sneak past the bouncer for a few seconds and have a quick chat! Any girlios with a Dutch Fetish? (Puts up her hand)

Shout outs to everyone who attended:

Of course, hello's to all the non-TA peeps who were with us too.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the Dutch!!!
Best country to party in, best people to party with, best parties in the world!!!!

And while maybe the reviews may not seem 'through the roof' here, keep in mind that some of us are still recovering from the double header at the Guv last weekend, Ken Ishii the nite b4, and a basic uncertainty of most people here of what Scumfrog was gonna play. I suspect it might've been 'too housey' for some. As far as house goes, this is my cup of tea, all the way!

If you're talking about UK Hardhouse, then no he's not.

Aside from that: UK House = Brit House = "Progressive" (not progressive house). It's all the same genre.

Anyway, let's not go there, he spun a very good set, and that's all that needs to be said.
