I don't think it has to be this black and white, although I must say I would definitely have more fun seeing him at a more intimate venue than this.

well, it's not. putting the deejay on a stage as a focal point takes away from the ambience of the party and wrongly places the deejay in the place of a musical performer. deejays aren't musicians, they are something wholly other. loco dice doesn't even make his own music for god's sake.

needs to be played in a warehouse or a factory or a bunker, etc

clubs are wack too.

nightclubs developed as a way of controlling the activities that go on within them. before nightclubs were warehouse parties, raves, etc. i mean there were always nightclubs but it was understood that these were leisure places where you could drop money on expensive drinks, smoke with clients, go on a romantic date, etc.

underground dance music really belongs in lofts and warehouses, etc

the love parade really only makes sense when it is a sort of mobile invasion running through the city, bubbling up from the cultural underworld. all it is now is an excuse to drink and perform lewd acts with thousands of drunk and lewd people

i've been to parades, concerts, clubs, lofts, bars, factories, warehouses, convention centers, basements, attics, courtyards, 600 year old palazzi, gardens, etc where underground dance music is being played, and i have to say, in a concert setting it's pointless and difficult to have fun, again because there is no environment. the venue should provide a framework for freedom. when you have a soundstage with an elevated dj in front of a jumbotron blaring his name, with a limited set time and frontally placed speakers, there's no point IMO.

now, if we're talking live PA that's one thing, where the virtuosity and visual spectacle are the primary focus.

Exactly what I meant. Yes DJing in a concert setting is rather silly, but saying dance music is no music for concert is a bit too radical as well.

By the way, Adam, I think you should share with us videos or picture of times of future times where you have or will experience this underground culture you often speak so fondly about. It's kind of falls short of the imagination of people as oblivious to it as I am.

I mostly agree with you, both generally and in this particular instance, but sometimes, you're a real wanker. This is one of those times.

no one takes photos lol. it's bad etiquette

however i do have a few that my girlfriend took, and i can pull some from other sources

ps. i don't mean to be a wanker. realize i tend to be sharp with the tongue/finger. it's mostly because i care a lot. people who have met me here know i am a lot more easygoing in person.























etc

Those really do look like some wicked parties.

I mostly agree with you, those huge stadium style festivals just feel so weird, I went to Ultra (yeah. I know.) once and I never really want to do the festival thing again after that.
