I'm glad to see Ishkurs opinion on everything is just as irrelevant today as it was 5 or more years ago.

Originally posted by daphunky1 I guess you've never been to Shambhala, so perhaps you should relax on passing such judgements on something you know very little about. The Western side of Canada has a thriving and vibrant music scene. It doesn't need a "world class line up". What is that even supposed to mean anyways? More big names is better? "Shitty-second rate" are words that only people who know nothing of the festival could try and use to describe it.

Well someone who went to the last one just told me that every DJ he saw there sucked, so you should probably be arguing with him.

Music's usually inconsequential for most Shambhala attendees.

I've actually no idea if most of those DJs are any good or not, but the few recognisable names don't look too clever. I'm sure a lot of those DJs are just locals and are actually a lot of fun, and probably don't even have any labels or productions to whore out even if they wanted to, and Ishkur is just being a jaded old-timer. But more saliently, I think he's guilty of trying to pass off a big list of names as evidence of him still being a vibrant party-goer, and his ruse ain't fooling me.

Originally posted by Sykonee In the Top 40 clubs, I'm pretty sure whatever DJ there is reads the notes from the management. "These people are dancing too much. Play something boring so they buy more booze."

If there is nobody at the dance floor the club is fucking boring and people will leave. At least it was like that over here. If the dance floor is loaded you don't have to worry about drinking in my view.
But maybe we just drink more in the south of our little country....

in montreal, "underground" dance music tends to take place in an afterhours setting. no booze...just expensive water (aka drugs). back in the 90's clubs used to close cold water faucets making you have to buy more water. it's illegal now due to a few deaths. even booze clubs will do this to get you to drink more. hot = thirsty. in a warehouse

the club opens around 2 or 3am until they decide the skullfuck is over. think of every one of hunter thompson's books, and add more insanity. thereare more than a few pics of me floating around TA where i am melting profusely.

turning the heat up is literal. the more you sweat, the thirstier you are. it's an older gimmick that pt barnum shit.

it's like bikram yoga but more awesome. (except for camel toes in sweaty tights, that is pretty awesome too.)
