War On The Dancefloor - 22.01.16

Frighteningly accurate enactment

My first DJing of the 2016 and it's the stompy grounds of War On The Dancefloor at The Q Club. Laying down the sets before me were Darren (who needs to be more confident and move himself up the listing) and Chris, and then Hallam kept them going till the end. For a Friday before the post Christmas payday it wasn't that bad a turn out, and they have started stocking McEwans Champion at the bar so it all got a bit tired and emotional near the end....

11:30 to 12:45

Police State - Birmingham 6

Land of Rape and Honey - Ministry

Bomb the Clubs - Caustic

Scumbags and Spent Slags (Be My Enemy mix) - Flesh Eating Foundation

Airstrike - Seething Akira

Run You - The Quemists

Hallo Spaceboy - David Bowie

I'm Afraid of Americans (Nine Inch Nails mix) - David Bowie

Ace of Spades - The Chaos Engine

Survivalism - Nine Inch Nails

Beast - Rabbit Junk

Skinny Little Bitch - Anglespit

   {Brief Technical Pause}

Torn Apart - Stabbing Westward & Wink

Hammer of the Gods  - Fadderhead

Everything is War - Combichrist

Revolution Action - Atari Teenage Riot

Ghost Rider - Suicide

The Brief Technical Pause was due to DJuced 18 crashing when I tried to move a song from another playlist into the one I was using. Bug report filled and hopefully it'll be fixed in the next update, but I'll be looking into an alternative program if it's going to start playing silly buggers like that. Thankfully the floor waited for me to get things back on the go and they keep moving 'til the end.

War On The Dancefloor - 25/07/2015

About 3 people got this and
lightly smiled. Totally worth it!

Given the recent flooding massive thanks have to be given to Roger and the team for have done an excellent job of drying the Q Club out and putting in the new sound system. Rumors that wellingtons and inflatable armbands were now the "must wear" thing for all the cool kids were clearly false. everyone knows that all the really cool kids are wearing silver spray paint on their faces this year as anything else is mediocre.

On the technical front it was the first time playing out with a projector running off of my DJ laptop. Technically it worked really well but because of not wanting/being allowed to blind the audience it was projected on the ceiling  and got all stretched out and avant-garde for anyone who wasn't in the booth.

The next War is in about three months time, keep an eye on the Facebook for more details and turn up for awesome industrial clubbing fun.
My next DJ outing will be the Cambridge Meet and Geek in September, turn up for a day of geek based activities and me doing a Psychocandyish set.

11:30 - 12:45

Danceslut - Nano Infect
Emergent disfigurement - venal flesh

The main booth discussions were: Thomas The Tank Engine, MP3 DJing software, the breeding habits of cables and wiring, why Raggedyman isn't allowed to play with the smoke machine...no...stopit!, how people who turn up to an industrial night and demand we play Prince really can fucking do one, Pimms o'clock, the delicate balance between thumping bass and noise pollution law.

War On The Dancefloor - 23/01/2015

Another great night of industrial and associated musics, all played at The Q Club Cambridge. The next one should be in the later half of April, keep an eye out at on the Facebook page for exact dates and then come along to enjoy it all. It's a small night but with a growing following, and whilst it might not have the art noise idiocy that was Noise Bastard it's certainly got the tunes (and two of it's DJs, but being sensible for once).

My sets were:

10:00 till 11:00
Blood Rave - Blade OST
Destroy all dancefloors - CTRL ALT DEL
Angel of ruin - The Chaos Engine
Dead shall rise - Flesh Eating Foundation

Nemesis - VNV Nation
I am the rain - Assembly 23

Hardcore Motherfucker - Ultraviolence
Futile Nazi Bastard - Velvet Acid Christ
Angels of the dark - Studio X

Jesus Christ buried alive - Alien Vampires


The main booth discussions were: , how cold weather buggers up club nights, if digital hardcore counts as industrial (Yes Nick, it does. Get a fucking grip), how to cover up a choke and stay sexy, if cohesive community experiences stopped happening on the alternative scene after 2003 & if that was a good or bad thing, and how utterly off-genre music goes down brilliantly if just the right track is played at just the right time,
