Acid Techno!! I have a 7K rig that has been partied only twice in about 5 years. Before then it was out most weekends, but while it spent over a year in the custody of the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary me and my missus started a family and I never got back into the swing of things what with the responsibility of a young family.
However, the party vibe has reawakened in me like an itch in my pants and I want to do something!! Most of my old crew have either moved on to pastures new or have family/jobs/responsibility that prevents them from hardcore involvement in running a rig, but there is a few of us still around that want to play out a bit.
I’ve noticed that the free party scene in Brighton today is dominated by drum & bass etc. largely because of the dedication and balls of one sound system in particular (run by a very old friend and someone people on here will know) that seems to be the only older rig in the area that is still fukin’ avin it fairly often.
This is all well n good but a dedicated acid and hard techno rig is needed to mix up the sounds a bit more. I was helping out at a party recently (royal mail!!:devilish:) and there was three rigs that were all playing jungle/d&b of some sort most of the night interspersed with a bit of techno and breaks etc. What happened to having several rigs all dedicated to different musical styles?
Anyway, I digress! I want to know where all the acid techno hedz are in brighton, particularly dj’s – almost all the dj’s I speak to play d&b, dubstep or something. I wanna get me rig out playing purely acid/hard techno but I need dj’s/people who wanna get involved. I know that if I took it out next weekend then the usual suspects would show up with a bag of tunes and play mostly d&b because thats who mostly turns up at parties to play these days. Ideally I would take the rig out alongside a d&b rig and have enough techno dj’s to keep the sounds rolling indefinitely so we can keep it a non-stop techno rig (and maybe change to some ska/dub reggae when the party is winding down on a hot summer afternoon!).
I also need drivers with vans, people with geny, promoters who want to put on club nights/pitches at festivals with a techno rig, visual/creative/lighting people, people with more sound rig to add, basically anyone and everyone who would like to put together a new techno rig and are enthusiastic enough to help make it happen and create temporary environments that are as visually stimulating as they are aurally.
I want to do this and have the sound equipment ready n waiting, but I canny do it by me self – I need help from people who also want to do this… …help from Brighton Techno Hedz!
