How cool is this?....This is Waterloo...Secret DJ show with John O'Callaghan @ Beta

Just wanted to say how cool it was that Beta in Waterloo is getting John O'Callaghan and Glen Morrison to play there for $5 on the 14th of March. I know ticket prices are higher now but at the beginning when the lineup was unknown I managed to pick four up for $5 each, for the release of the Top 100 dj mag poll for clubs in the world. I supported the event (even though its on a Monday), knowing how cool Beta's events have been in the past and to support their appearance on the top 100 poll (if they so happen to make it). Five bucks seemed cheap for a fun night out and was really not expecting this line up. So sincerely from the bottom of my partying heart, thanks Beta for such a cool show and doing at such a wicked price. I do hope you make it in the top 100, it will be huge for you guys, but more importantly I really hope you the AGCO will grant you your license soon. See you out there next month!

It's cool that Ryan is having so much fun with promoting Beta events. Pretty creative. And I guess the hype is still massive even without liquor license. Apparently over 400 tix sold for this event right now?

Dunno if I can make it out on a Mon night, but uni students will party at any given night lol

kudos to Beta for doing that good in a market that most wouldnt think would work.

Im waiting for a techno booking or something that's rare for me to trek it that way for a night.

Over 600 sold now. Less then 100 left

that's retarded, for a monday night party (i mean this is in a good way lol)

will be insane once we get our liquor license with International Talent every week.

Obviously our friday focus will shift but I think we are trying to establish our Saturday format.

I really hope we are LLBO soon. Hard to work so hard for nothing.

BETA is at a place right now that money can not buy. So that makes me proud! Just cant wait to be able to do so much more with liquor revenue! and do weekly events!

Considering JOC has never been to Toronto before and he's going to make 3 appearances within the past year, goes to say a lot about the guy! Good luck Beta, great booking!

alot of people didn't like him last two times he was here.


I thought he was bloody great

mondays are too hard

I'm secretly hoping that their liquor license will get delayed so long that all of Waterloo loses interest in top40 and they can just have house Fridays and trance Saturdays.

more power to you, he's a great d.j

how do you guys make any money to stay afloat? it's beyond my comprehension!

I heard the same thing, to each their own I guess.

They really need that liqour license. I can't see the club prospering as well as it could for too long without alcohol.

I've heard rumors that one particular owner of several bars in the area isn't happy with Beta being in town.

I really hated JOC's set at contact at guv last year. Every track was BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM, no harmony, no chord progression. The only melodic bits were in the breakdowns. He even played amelodic remixes of melodic classics. I was sooooo sad when he dropped an "As The Rush Comes" remix which was really just the vocal played over top of a kickdrum and an amelodic tribal bassline. His set was disappointment after disappointment. Every time a track showed promise of having a good melody, it would turn straight into BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM with no melody or chord progression. The only track I enjoyed all night was "Found A Way". I know that some people like the "disappointment-trance" style, but I find it incredibly sad and frustrating to listen to.

I'll probably give him another chance at Beta, but if he plays like that again, I'll just leave. JOC at Guv was the most disappointing set of 2010 for me.

Glenn Morrison, however, is well worth my $5. ^_^

would you be? LOL...

Maybe if people would learn the business they were in they would not have to worry about the competitors so much.

His set starts at 7:40

I liked his set and he was a pretty cool dude too!

beta isnt really competition for any club in waterloo except for rev, as its the only place that offers house/trance. all the other clubs target a very different clientel, so theres no reason for other club owners to be unhappy.

From that perspective sure but any owner that is jealous is probably so because of not making $ and is envious of rev/proom and beta raking in $.

This is a traditional mistake in business. Your competitors are ANYONE who could reduce your revenue. You can't think of a single person who might have gone to cameo or vault or whatever who instead went to beta because one or more of their friends decided Beta was the place to be? Beta's revenue is somebody's entertainment budget. They must have spent it somewhere else before Beta came along.

well our Fridays will directly compete with all clubs and we are not Purple Room and we are not REV.

It's the middle ground that is in. I don't want to step out of line but it even seems guv mainroom is heading towards that middle ground as well.

unless they ask for a bigger cut from the house dealers

The transition at 26:40 is something he did at Guv as well... he mixed out of "Found A Way" right before the final climax. This made me SOOO FUCKING MAD. "Found A Way" is the only track in that entire video clip that has both a chord progression and a kick drum playing at the same time, and he still manages to fuck it up and replace the climax with BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. Yeah, JOC's style and I DO NOT GET ALONG. FUUUUUUUUCK.

I don't even think its as much the middle ground becoming the norm as it is house music simply becoming more and more popular. Even a year ago, Deadmau5 was getting blasted in the Rev mainroom, and not just his poppy tunes. Mainstream DJs are dropping dirty, uncompromised electro and getting away with it because crowds are no longer hiphop-crazy.

Thank fucking christ for that, its about FUCKING TIME the general public stopped listening to SHIT. (not that deadmau5 is anything special, but hey, its a huge improvement).

That's a no-no.
