A formal roll call is needed for this show.

I have just recently permanently moved down here in H-town from Newfoundland, canada and getting a feel to the scene. I have been to a few shows here that include Carl Cox @ Meridian (killer show), Paul van dyke @ The Warehouse (Huge show), Markus schultz @ Bar Rio, Nick Fanchulli & James Zabelia. The electronic music following seems young but it is growing super quick! (atleast that was my impression). I run a canadian electronic music website "www.lyricalsmelter.com", and it features local (Atlantic Canadian) dj's, sets, videos, forums. Check it out if you like. I have been a dj for 6 years now and trying to get familiar with local dj's in the city that spin edm since i will be here for the long haul.

Are there any good record stores that sell electronic music in the city?

Also, i was reading a newspaper recently and I saw that a "Dj Remy" does a residency @ club nasa. Is this the true trance dj remy is it??

I've never heard of a "Club Nasa" in h-town....then again, I don't live anywhere near Nasa.


And no, I'm not going to go see a pop artist jump up and down on a stage. Count me out.

Well I agree that tiesto is commercial "poppy" trance. But you know what.. you got to support the trance community regardless. If not, there would be none..

I don't support dj's that require, or at least they say they require, 3 flat screen tv's on stage just to show the world they are bigger than God. That's just ridiculous. Poor Houston promoters, they had to throw in thousands just to satisfy good 'ole Tijs, like if BarRio didn't already have projectors and ambiance to show on screens. If they only knew (or at least accepted) that last year's opener TOTALLY OUT-PLAYED Tiesto here in Texas, I think they'd turn all tables around and ship his ugly ass back to Europe. I find it rather preposterous and absurd that a dj, being so fucking poppy, would want so much on stage, for what..a few hours? Not only that, but doing that kind of nonsense takes away from other, better dj's being brought to Texas. I call that being selfish, and I hate selfish folks. Thus, I won't go support the man.

That night, I'll be drinking beer......
.......at home, and maybe watching my new DVD, E.T. Special Edition.


Have fun though, I know you will

Hooyah carlos. I think tiesto was absolute cheese. I remember seeing him in austin the last time he was around. I think that's when I started to like trance less...

Please. I've got photos of you and Carnahan both schmoozing for stage passes at Tiesto's AMH gig. You aren't fooling anyone.

At this stage, I'd depopulate Houston if Tiesto would come drop a set here in Baghdad. Then again, I'd probably lose my mind if ANY EDM DJ would. Lance tried and I think the AFE 'tards turned him down. More fools they.

Atomic Music used to be there too but I think they're closed. There's also Chemistry Records down the street on Westheimer. Soundwaves has a decent selection. It's too bad there aren't more vinyl shops around, especially since none of these places have a good selection of techno.

True.
It's frustrating see that there are only a few trance, progressive, or tech vinyls layin' around. Compared to Chemistry and Atomix, Soundwaves just falls behind. I'll get lucky to find some vinyl I want there. Online is usually the best way to go nowadays.

On the other hand, Soundwaves has a fantastic selection of Rusty boards and DK pads, along with a few goodies for your board, which is the other reason I sometimes lurk around in that store.

Both of those closed.
