    Somebody (who has the knowledge of course) can write a program, to do a specific job, like a virus for example. Once it's been uploaded, or whatever way it's unleashed upon the world wide web, it does the job it's been programmed to do. Whether it's to phish for personal info, like credit card numbers, bank account details etc, or just to fúck up shít, depending on the purpose it was created for. I'm not up on all the ins and outs of how those programs are created etc, but that's pretty much the gist of it.

    I think the problem alot of ppl have now with old skool gigs is the same tunes getting played.

    There's plenty of other tunes tha could be played.Also alot of the rare tunes have been id'd aswell so why don't the DJ's play these instead of the same stuff that has be getting played at gigs and on radio statios etc.

    Now thats my read on the suitation.Not that i have been to any of the gigs.:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭holy_macaroni


    but on the other hand.. as francois said on this topic before.. when ya do play the more rare tracks.. people do be walking off the dance floor.. id say a big majority of the crowd who go to the oldskool gigs never went to the asylum or sides..and they only know the more well known tunes.. warp 69 lionrock grace etc etc.. I heard an ed case mix he did from one of the oldskool nights and it was pure ****e.. nothing like the mixes he use to do back in the day.. those gigs are mostly just a money maker..

    lol

    So why did u make this comment ''glad I didn't go to that.. warp 69 and wubble u petal.. fuk that... '' if you know what to expect...lol only joking

    Are they really money makers.are they making money out of it.

    How much are they charging into these gigs and what sort of attendence.

    From what i've seen they can charge anywer between €10-€25.€25 usually for the Vaults.

    Anyways why don't the DJ's just say to feck with the crowd mix it up play half the rare and half the popular oldskool tracks and see how it goes.

    How much are they charging into these gigs and what sort of attendence.

    Usually in smaller venues, it's about 10-15 yoyos, they could get anywhere from 100 people upwards. Or it could be a complete disaster, with less people. I've been to a few crap ones, Attendance-wise, The Vaults included!
    From what i've seen they can charge anywer between €10-€25.€25 usually for the Vaults.

    Those Vaults gigs, were mainly run by "The Asylum brand", which is why they charged so much. Also, they got a lot of big names to play, so they would have had to be paid a decent sum, for playing at them. So a profit would have had to be a must in that case, as it would've been some money to be out of pocket, paying those guys.
    Anyways why don't the DJ's just say to feck with the crowd mix it up play half the rare and half the popular oldskool tracks and see how it goes.

    I would love that myself, but the vast majority of peeps, that attend those gigs, really aren't musically savvy, clued in, want to hear, or even care to educate themselves at all, with the lesser known tracks. When you have DJ's hoarding tunes, and fm radio stations over the years, playing the same tunes, on a weekly basis, over and over again, for they're "oldskool" shows, it's not a recipe for success anyway. The oldskool scene, will be shockingly bad, in a few years, due to the lack of music being shared, with younger DJ's, to keep it alive and well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭holy_macaroni


    I haven't gone to any so I don't know personally if they are any good.. ive gotten mixed views on the oldskool gigs.. some saying it was **** and a rip off.. others saying it was brilliant.. judging form the videos if seen in the past and recent videos and the tunes that were played. those tunes would of done my head in and that's even if I was ou mi box. which my pill poppin snortin days are long gone

    Have to disagree strongly with ya, you are displaying all the hallmarks of tune snobbery, i can still put myself back on the floor of Sides at 4 am & remeber when them tunes were fresh.......

    Still gives me the same rush from the pit of my gut if i put myself back there with them tunes, this is another one, has been played to death alright but stop, put it on loud, close your eyes, put all thoughts out of your head & remember the heat, the feeling, the sound & the narcs surging to this,



    NEVER gets old:)

    not snobbery at all... just sick to death hearing tunes like that.. as in tunes that have been played to death...

    Have to disagree strongly with ya, you are displaying all the hallmarks of tune snobbery

    Tune snobbery, in my opinion. Can be attributed, but not limited to, the likes of people, who have blinkers on to anything other than their favoured style of music. Be it Techno, House, Trance, Drum & Bass, Rock, Metal, Classical etc etc. I think in Mac's case, and mine too, as i don't like either of those tracks myself. It's just a case of, different folks different strokes. When i was younger (as with most people) i liked all those cheesy type tunes, Happy Hardcore included, to an extent. But when i listen back over those tracks now, i think to myself, "what the hell was i thinking, listening to that?!" I know nostalgia is great, but i definitely think, people are guilty of looking back on the past, with rose tinted glasses. There is a wealth of amazing tunes, that came out of the Dublin scene back then. But for me, i'm not in the same place musically, that i was 10 years ago, never mind 20 years ago. Peoples tastes change over time, and something that may have sounded excellent to you back then, can definitely sound like complete rubbish to you later on down the road. I think as well, people don't like to look back on certain moments in their lives, and think to themselves, "yeah, that wasn't as good as i thought it was". When i was going out weekly, to the Temple or where ever it was, i thought the music at the time was great. But in saying that, i can count on one hand now, the amount of tunes from that era, i still listen to, and regard as being good. So in my opinion, it's not tune snobbery, it's just that people grow and change, and things that were good at one point, become stale, boring, or even shít to them, at a later point in life. I still love my breakbeat stuff, 20 odd years later, but there are definitely tracks, from that era/genre, that i wouldn't give the time of day to now, and i don't listen to them. Wubble U, for me personally, along with that Bette Blue tune (i think that's the name of it, Jon Pleased Wemin. Correct me if i'm wrong with the name btw) are two of the worst tunes i've heard from that era, in Dublin's clubbing history. Not to say they're not good to other people, but they're deffo not something, i'd go out of my way to listen to. If other people like them fair play, far be it for me to judge anyones taste in music, but like i said, they aint my bag. And they're obviously not Mac's either.

    Yes i agree but when we talk about profit i doubt it would be anything to write home about.Just my opinion.
