^^^ sure, i'll just re-apply next year. hopefully they'll include this country again.
new update: heat 1.
i wasn't even there, i'm going by people's opinions, so this is not biased. the same night, Pascal F.E.O.S. was in town, and i preferred to go see him, which kicked an amazing amount of ass.
so, yeah. heat 1, the club is pretty packed i'm told. the judges' panel is conformed of: the club owner (doesn't know shiat about music), Rocio Aguayo (a model, has no fucking business judging a music competition, guess she's there as a publicity gimmick thing), Pabvlo Ferrer (dunno who this guy is, i'm guessing he works for Heineken), Scott Friedman (aka Scoy, a good DJ from Canada i believe) and Baron Valette (don't know who this is either, but i hear he is muscially involved and capable to make an educated decision).
ok. neither Scoy nor Baron showed up. so we have what seems to be a Heineken employee there for corporate safety, a club owner, who doesn't know anything technical at all, but can probably tell when his club is booming, and a model who just has no business there period. so the judging is screwed.
now, we have 1 deep/latin/tribal house dj, 1 dark prog house, 1 minimal\tech\electro\acid dj, and another house dj (somewhat a la morillo, that style).
needless to say one of the house DJs won. not just because he was the most marketable, musically, he is a very nice DJ too. either way, the following also happened:
- they cut some of the DJ's sets, not even by telling them to stop spinning, they actually just killed the volume on the amp.
- someone threw stinkbombs during 2 DJs' sets. yes, that's right, that really nasty stinky stuff in small bottles (not the smoke stuff) that kids used to bring to school to mess around, the type that you slam on the floor and breaks, makes a huge stink everywhere, someone who has yet to be identified, threw 2 of these at 2 different DJs' sets.
i sort of had the idea the competition in this country might go to complete shit, but i wasn't expecting THIS much shit. wtf in the hell does a model have to do in a DJ COMPETITION?!
i'm applying next year, solely with my eye on the prize, and nothing else. this is a joke. i wonder if during the finals, when Sander K and Roger Sanchez are judging, they'll stink bomb the DJs too, and then, try to make a soap opera star part of the panel...
