Orbit last night...

If anyone wants a DJ Rush CD copied I have a German Import.....

Akkk didn't see this thread and posted another one....

Nuff said it was wikkid!!!

I will be back next time so will princess jane I'm sure!!!

Thanks for the great idea of going, it was absoulely amazing in the orbit. Can’t believe I’ve never been before!! Marco Bailey was amazing!! Shame it finished at two but I shuda got there earlier!!

After I went got a taxi to centre of Leeds to meet my mates who were going to Glasshouse, which for some reason I have still never been to . However when I got there they told me one of them was poorly, or some crap like that, so I didn’t do again, which was very frustrating as by now as was well up for it as I was till buzzing from the AMAZING DIRTY HARD GRINDING EVIL TECHNO from the orbit!!! Walking passed the queue I could hear the funky rhythms of Jonny Coporate ‘Sunday Shouting’ and wanted to go in. In fact I was this close to going *holds two fingers close together* as I could have talked to randoms on my own till 9am, but I actually saw some mates who lived near me by coincidence so got taxi back with them (would have been tenner on my own).

This is third time I’ve been promised to go to glasshouse and been let down so next time I’m just going to go on my own!! I came back to ncl the next day after sleeping at my parents house in Leeds!! Orbit@afterdark was mint tho cheers!!!!!!

Bahh

Wish I'd went now.

Instead I went to History of Dance to listen to the same oldskool being played as always.

Think I heard 'Far Out', 'Playing With Knives' & 'Lock Up' 3 times each.

Every oldskool DJ Ive heard in the past 2 years have played the same set, same old anthem bashing. Why cant they play what they were known for playing ? Ie, Top Buzz - Jungle Techno etc ?

Why doesnt somone put an oldskool night on in Newcastle/North East that represents the oldskool that was popular up here, pre 95 before thepish they call happy hardcore took over.

Breakbeat was never that big up here, it was all European techno in the days of Rezerection / Nocturnal / Wear FM etc, then you had The Venue which was mostly bouncy Italian stuff, yet non if this has ever been played at an oldksool party up here (except the party's Ive played at !).

Anyone remeber when Newcastle had the Hardware Record lable on the go with PSI Division, Neo-technik, Sub-Base, 12Tone in the early 90s ? None of that classic stuff gets played either.

Rant over !

http://www.GeordieGabbaMafia.org in the 'DJ Mixes' section for examples of ealry 90s European techno.

Does anyone who went know what that tune was with all the tribal drums?? It was played at the start of Marco Bailey's set I think (not 100% sure tho). Defo best tune of the night! :evil:

That tunes a bit of a Orbit Anthem........... I did get told what it was called before.............. its like a bastard child mix of the Bongo song!

I liked that African chant tune that Rush started with as well..... Oh and that one that REALLY kicked off when we where upstairs.!!

*Yawn* Is that record jumping again???? This record is getting played more than Gatex did.

If fergie/Piccotto were pure techno they would be booked at nites like this??? there not, get the fuck over it

Do they claim to be "pure" techno dj's?

I'm pretty sure that Picotto for one is just doing his thing trying not to imitate anyone....

Picotto doesnt class himself as a techno Dj and he doesnt class himself as a trance Dj.

He is a Dj that plays techno tunes.

END OF FUCKIN STORY!!!!!!

You dont have to be a techno purist to play techno tunes.

IMO,

Picotto plays fairly hard tech-trance, which i like, wouldn't says he's a proper techno DJ tho but he's still mint

Except last time he was at promise he played slower if i remember rightly, it was a bit more electro-e kind of and I'm sure Scott Bond,who was on before him, played a bit harder than he did!!

Halliwell / Fergie I wouldn't even class as tech-trance just general hard trance/ hard house with the odd techno influenced tune thrown in!

that bongo tune is cave - street carnival i think

No one says that he is, not even him.

Yes it is!!! Thanks matey!!
