*** not complete, but gives you a basic idea ***
Documentary - Barry Rooke – Club Culture and how it interacts with Society – Dec 6th 05 – 30 Min, 10 Seconds
Maestro : Its not about the space itself … and we survived Together
Az : Hop-Hop is an expression of Life in the Ghetto
Court : The Stereotypes people have of music are not true.
Walter : Id Rather my Kids … then to go see a Hi-Hop Show
Az : It’s a very global thing
Pete : The crowd it there but … big name headling DJ’s
Nat : The Internet … The music that we hear
Barry : Hi My name is Barry Rooke, DJ and Host of Amplified Radio and Avid Clubber. I’d like to invite you to join me now for the next half hour in examining club culture and how it interacts with society. Stay with me as we talk with world class DJ’s, club owners, promoters, dance music experts and of course your good old fashion balls to the floor clubbers. But before we get to any of that, its important to know where club culture comes from. Here is Az with a little more.
Az : Hey This is Az … where I found my home in Electronic
Az : We could go as early as mid-70’s … fundamental building blocks of what we call electronic music today
Az : Out of disco came … the party mentality
Barry : Toronto DJ’s Walter Rosati and Lil’ Pete remember playing back in the early 80’s
Walter : so 1982 you had bands like … all just mish-mashed together
Az : It’s a common misconception … music that moves us
Barry : So that’s disco, what about hip hop
Mini Feature : Um Detroit … I don’t know
Az : Hip-Hop came from a few different places … the Disco Scene
Barry : Whoa, Disco Hip-Hop, maybe Ill give this one to you Az
Az : Well DJ Kool Herc did his thing … Sadly the Thug Life
Dr Dre : Rap Example
Az : It seems to be what is associated with Hip-Hop … Where there music came from
Barry : So urban music is obviously a power force, just take a look at the raw numbers, 3 years ago it passed country as the most popular style of music in north America. English DJ Dessyn Massiello says its now ½ of all club music played in the land of house. And in Toronto every other club is pumping out a very urban feel. But, we will get to that in a bit. Az still has some more splaining to do.
Az : Music is a Global Culture … Made it something their own
Barry : Ok yada yada yada we get the point. Everyone now picks it up and adds something new, a good example is in the electronic genre, there is now 50 billion different kinds of house music, all with their unique sound and feel.
Craig : House Sampler Mix
Barry : My name is Barry Rooke, and your listening to Club Culture and its interaction with society. Now that we have briefly gone over the history of club music, Lets take a look at the scene here in Southern Ontario. Enter Walter Rosati, DJ and Owner of the two million dollar super club Republik in Downtown Toronto, and Lil’ Pete, ½ of the Juno Winning Sound Bluntz.
Walter : Man this is going to sound brutal … stuck with it through the years
Pete : Walter actually got me into DJ’ing … Goosing me in the DJ Booth
Barry : So Walter and Pete are good friends, They have been for many years and they grew up together in Toronto
Pete & Walter : What Walter didn’t tell you is he … Like in Wisconsin
Craig : Main Event Mini Feature (Hip-hop vs. House)
Az :Its not just about going out on a Friday night … that pump the money in
Barry : In the mid 80’s, Nightclubs and Radio started to bond together. In New York City, radio stations would pay mounds of cash to have DJ’s to play their latest track in the club’s in hopes it would break. On the flip side, many DJ’s became synonymous with creating radio hits because of the underground sounds which they discovered. That was in New York, but the beginnings were here in Toronto as well.
Pete : Everything is pretty much rock … top 40 format which was good.
Barry : Jay is a long time party go-er, and well quite the politician. He works for Walter at Republik, and also travel’s abroad often.
Jay : You know in the 90’s … more and more clubs are sounding like the radio
Walter & Pete : Right into the early 90’s … Everything is pretty fake now
Barry : Now Walter and Pete are a little older then myself and have been doing this for a bit longer, so in order to get a proper feel of Toronto’s club district, I had to ask them about the clubs when they were my age.
Walter : Like your talking when the big club district was still … gay club
Barry : whoa what did you say?
Nat : Hi I’m Natalie … not problem with that scene anyhow
Barry : Ok, so black gay men were trend setters in, well most aspects of night club culture. In New York, clubs like The Continental Baths, The Paradise Garage and the Loft were crucial to the gay, lesbian and bisexual movement.
Nat : Pride is an important event … I don’t think we would be as tolerant as a society.
Barry : Josh is better known around Toronto and southern Ontario as Jelo. He has been credited as a hard nosed, hard working creative DJ and an advocate for positive change in the night clubs scene.
Josh : So your exposing a bunch of new people … awareness is important
Barry : I told Josh on a few cases he really should get into politics
Josh : It really is all about evolution … different then your pop and R&B club
Pete : It was good times back in the day … I think Toronto would be in great shape
Barry : Well Pete I think maybe your right but what happens to forward progression?
Pete : The crowds are spoiled … you gotta hang out you know.
Courtney : Hi I’m Courtney … with holes in their pants
Barry : Ok but what about the meanings of the songs themselves?
Courtney : Use the Marilyn Manson example … Isn’t what you have to believe
Barry : Sounds kind of ravish to me
Craig : Round 2
Courtney : There is a respect for other people … Its not what you do
Barry : I’m Barry Rooke and your listening to club culture and its interaction with society
Courtney : I feel safer in the middle of a mosh-pit … Someone will pick me up.
Barry : Now if you’re attracting a different, tougher crowd, security becomes an issue.
Walter : Pay duties when we need pay duties … we just don’t want it
Barry : Local DJ and promoter Derek Hahn sums it up pretty well
Derek : Well what can I say … You have to weight your options
Barry : When I go to a club I go for the music and the people who listen to the same stuff as me. Many others have a different agenda.
Derek : Meat-Market Culture has been …the opposite sex
Barry : Of late, a few Toronto club owners have decided to shut up shop because this negative vibe inside their club has just outweighed the risk of running a night club.
Obviously, there is a lot of in fighting between genre’s and clubs, Junglists and trance addicts don’t get a long to well, same with punk and Emo kids. I think Piet, ½ of the Dutch super production teams Rank 1 sum’s it up in plan terms.
Piet : You have hip hop … Really a problem for the woman.
Barry : Lets take a quick trip around the world and see what the various countries and cities scenes are like. Climb aboard the world express.
Craig : Time to go around the world in only one Minute South Africa
Az : Very aware of what’s going on … to expensive for them to play two shows.
Craig : Asia
Piet : The Japanese people are like .. I prefer to be human.
Craig : Argentina
Jay : How about one world crazy … Jumping on top of you
Craig : Australia
Christopher : Hi I’m Christopher Lawrence ..Nobody seems to know about it
Craig : Enough of the A’s already, Cuba
Paul : Havana is … ¾ rhythm
Barry : Paul Oakenfold is a former number one … Reality Television.
Paul : The club is an idea I came up with …What goes on in the running of it
Az : The Rave culture and the … Viable marketing force
RJ : Hi I’m RJ .. Various media companies
Az : It’s a matter of time … there is money in it
Barry : And finally, the internet has played a HUGE role in club culture today. We now see international bands and DJ’s fly in and play packed events the same day the touch Canadian soil for the first time in their life. This world wide connection is good, but can really hurt the music scene itself.
Walter : when the computer downloading … 10% of what he should have made on that record.
Barry : Well with that, we have run out of time. Id like to thank everyone for their input into this program. For more information, check out Maestro, which you heard a short clip off the top of the documentary, or the movies go, 24 hour party people, human traffic and train spotting. As for reading, Last night a DJ saves my life by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton is the definitive read in the subject. So on behalf of all those that love the industry for what it is and will be, have a great day. My name is Barry Rooke. |
