This will probably be my first try at the new system in the docks. We'll see how it goes, but danny's the man.

Heh - When Danny T was at Boa, I went after hyanging at KH for my "God" Ritchie Hawtin. Ended up at Boa at 8am the next morning.... After a full out assault on my body from the techno frenzy the night before, I kinda felt uncertain about a number of things. No sooner did I walk into BOA- I realized that I had hit on a once in a lifetime party. Clearly, the BEST party decision I made!!! YAY- thanks Chris Maddison for twisting me rubber arm.
That night made me a Danny T fan forever-AMEN! The man is truly charismatic and a people's DJ through and through. He owns my ass forever! I already have goose-bumps!!! My only regret was leaving at 10am to go to a friend's place to shower and get cleaned up to go back for round two from 3-6pm to close him off. To my dismay he had stopped at 1.30pm- ARGHHH!!!! Never again! Do you know how many times I have said- "had I only known the he was going to stop sooner!I would've never left"
This time- I will remain at the Docks for as long as it takes for Danny T to weave his magik. Fuck leaving!!!

So um yeah - i will be there!!!

if only this had somehow happened ..

i cleaning around my room the other day and sorting out some old flyers that i had kept from a few years back and i stumbled upon an old Mekka Festival flyer that i saved. for any of you who don't know what Mekka is/was, it was an example of one of the great tragedies of the EDM scene here and what could have been .. anyhow, i just figured that some of you might be interested to know what potential there was way back when before rave protocols and other blah-hah came into effect.. ironically it also occured the same year that Creamfields NYC and Las Vegas were cancelled due to "poor ticket sale performance".. here was the dilio: Sunday, August 5th, 2001 MEKKA MUSIC FESTIVAL Molson Park, Barrie, Ontario featuring: Donald Glaude Armand Van Helden Baby Blue Sound Crew Carl Craig Common Danny Tenaglia De La Soul Derrick Carter DJ Dan Josh Wink Junion Sanchez Kenny Glasgow Misstress Barbara Roni Size Talib Kweli The New Deal Deep Dish Grooverider Doc Martin Paperclip People Pharoahe Monch Biz Markie DJ Craze Mixmaster Mike BT Paul Oakenfold Christopher Lawrence Dave Ralph Dieselboy LTJ Bukem Sandra Collins Uberzone Mark Farina Stacey Pullen Andy C Jimmy Van M DJ Rap Terry Mullan Bad Boy Bill Mr. C H-Foundation Max Graham Martin Villeneuve Dynamite MC Methord 11:11 (Live) DJ Jazzy Jeff DJ Dopey Jason Hodges Crystal Method quote: Crystal Method, Roni Size, BT Heading To Mekka Paul Oakenfold, Mix Master Mike, Carl Craig among other artists to join electronic music tour. by Corey Moss The world's top tier of electronic music artists — including the Crystal Method, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Tenaglia, Armand Van Helden, BT and Roni Size — will gather in August for a 10-city North American tour called Mekka.

Details for that tour have not been released, though publicists for several electronic music stars, including Size, have said they have been invited to join the outing. Mekka will be held in outdoor venues, such as large fields and fairgrounds. Venues will be announced at a later date. The artists will perform on multiple stages and in tents.

Emery,

I talked to someone who wasn't directly involved with Mekka but knew the people that ran it. Basically, the company that did the promotions (I forget their name) made a lot of money with events prior to the Mekka proposal.

Unfortunately, they didn't use this money towards throwing more parties but rather spent it on themselves. The main reason why Mekka was cancelled was because a lot of the sponsors that originally signed on, bailed on them.

I believe they had something with Microsoft but the deal went bad and as soon as every other sponsor heard that Bill Gates and co. dropped out, everyone else followed suit.

But yeah, that's one hell of an insane lineup!!!
