lol i'm not obscure, just obtuse. :crazy:
I've never heard Lister play, so I'm not going to comment on any aspect of his sets. Generally speaking, though, I'd have to say that any excess technical ability (beyond beatmaching, gain structuring, and phrasing so that your 16/32/64/128 etc line up) is lost on 90% of the population of 90% of dance floors 90% of the time. Heck you could probably train a monkey to beatmatch - and if phase-perfect beatmatching really made a difference on the dancefloor, we'd see a lot more of it out there (Ableton, Traktor, BPM counters, etc), and we'd see those who are using it gaining, rather than losing popularity. (Alex, look at your ticket sales mate, we're not being entertained like we used to!) Reading people, and giving them what they want in a manner that they don't predict, is a far more challenging exercise than learning the technical side of things - and that's exactly what those at the top of this heap we call DJing do. Using technical skills to enhance the experience and control energy flow, great. Expecting to fill and/or keep a dancefloor with a technically perfect six-minute mix between two tracks that aren't perfect for that exact moment on that exact dance floor, in the minds of the people who are right in front of you listening to it, not so great. A bomb is only of any value when it hits its target, right?
People don't dance to mixes, they dance to tunes. Raise your hand if you already knew that. :p |

on a footnote i'd say our dear alex coe is now a reformed trashbag (not yet retired, thank (goodbye danny rampling :()) so that could be factored in to the whole ticket sales/entertainment value scheme of things) :p

Sorry didnt make it guys, heard it was a good night.
Lister is one of the most talented up & comers around, i guess this is all a learning curve - maybe Delieverence was not the right gig for him or maybe he would be better suited to an ealier set time?
Also heard DjB played a wicked set...
nice work, il def be there at the next one. |

As you all may have heard, altitude has adopted "House" music, and it is now about to take over Friday nights also.
Next deliverance (FRIDAY THE 13th JANURARY) will be the last one...but never fear, new venues are in the works. :)
Next month will feat the deliverance master sound blasters.
Friday night was the result of 2 most important things: Sasha, and Kryal castle. Most of our mailing list i know for a fact, were at kryal or saving themselves for Sasha.
The numbers lacked, but still the night had some great feel to it.
BIG UPS to BEN for bringing in all those chaps to really fill the place up again.
Its hard to run a Trance night when the club is looking for a more corperate/after work drinks scene atm. But Ben cetainly helped the cause. thanks buddy :)
Everyone who came would agreed the night was great fun.
Lister's tunes were/are awsome, the whole night didnt really work in his favour tho, no big one. I dont think he's fussed and either am I.
Thanks to everyone who also hung around thru me and then albs.
Lets make what is pretty much certain to be the last regular trance night @ altitude next month a ing big one.
Its not about clashing of nights, its about supporting the sound that bought us together in the first place, so get down, get rowdy and lets breathe some life back into the scene. I mean , You know somethings not right when Altitude turns house across the board..
in shame.
lets get chopped and rock on the 13th. |

^ major shame altitude are heading down that path... it's almost been like a 2nd home for so many trancey weekends :(
Not sure how having more handbag will turn out for them but I guess they are just trying to run a business. |

| Sorry to hear Deliverance is leaving us. I've had some great times both behind the decks and on the dance floor at your nights, Brendan, as have many here. Hopefully whatever new night and DJs the Altitude crew bring in stick with stuff that's less mainstream than the freakshow across the road - and hopefully the non-trance friday nights are able to pick their numbers up and demonstrate that a sound need not be entirely mainstream radioplay stuff in order to be commercially viable. :) |
