Dr. Lektroluv

t0mm

What does boards think of Dr. Lektroluv? Not a big fan of his own work but I have his live set from Rockwerchter, savage mix.

JCDUB

Yep, that Boyz Noise remix of My Moon My Man that he starts off the Rock Werchter mix with is fookin savage.

Have me ticket bought for the Academy, lookin forward to it now. Just hope it's not full of scumbags now!!

Check out his Extrema Outdoor mix aswell, shit hot!!

There's a d/l available through vuze/azureus called the minimal mix with three very good live mixes on it, worth d/ling

t0mm

Cheers, will do! I doubt there will be, its not really scobe music, I can't see a scobe paying 23 big ones for a dj they've never heard of.


"Wha's dis green fein wi' a focking telephone on stage wha?":cool:

It will be scobe free, but sadly packed to the rafters with scenesters / hipsters. Id rather scobers there to be honest as they're not pathetic lost sheep.

Thats whats putting me off going to lektroluv, being in something resembling a cast of an episode of skins or something of the like

Ya have to love the 'scobes' man we get the place getting,create abit of madness,I like your man Lektroluv,anything with a good gimmick like that is always a good buzz,just the people and the scene that goes with it annoys me

Sawe him last year in the Academy - it was an ok gig but some of the stuff he plays is just way to synthy for me..

For anyone thinking of going, its 23.30 on ticketmaster, or 15 from the student union shop in trinity, I just got my ticket plus three for friends in ucd, they didn't ask for my trinity ID or anything, saves the price of a nagan to pre drink with.

That is an outrageous price to see a Dj who comes here about 5 times a year-he'd be one of the better electrohouse Dj's mind - though that ridiculous mask and phone inevitably attracts scenesters and the like... the rock werchter cd is actually decent enough though, i agree with ya there

t0mm

That's the problem there, because electro/electro-house is "cool" these days they know they can charge that and still sell out. He is a headline act though, I mean you wouldn't get to see soulwax or 2 many dj's for €15.

g5fd6ow0hseima

23 snots - ah, they know the hipsters will pay it.

Cheers for the heads up regards trinity, i might further consider it now.

in fairness these gigs have been talked about for ages and no-one ever noticed/bothered shutting them down

You don't happen to know if it's the same for Felix Da Housecat?

I'm not sure, the guy who's promoting this, mick birmingham, goes to trinity and is the ents officer elect for next year, he is also ents officer for the comedy club, if he's organising any other night with cheap tickets being sold in trinity I'll let you know. He also set up and runs musik in the Button Factory on Thursdays, he's really into his electro, brought in japanese popstars a while back IIRC, again cheap tickets in trinity.

I have a few CD's and the majority are great, Werchter and Extrema outdoor are particularly good mixes.

Where/when is this on?

t0mm

It's on Friday 20th March in The Academy, doors 11pm.;)

djfattony2000

Last time I went to see him he was also promoted by Trinity. It was sold out, full of nobs doing take the piss dancing and spilling pints over everyone. I left early, I never leave gigs early.

Pitty, as his mixes are quite good...

mloc

They tend to vary quite a lot. The New Preskriptions mix is very electronica whilst the newer Pukkelpop 2008 mix is much more electro-house, poppy sort of feel to it. Both are good.

I'm guessing a lot of regs here aren't a fan of successful DJs?

JCDUB

Ah jaysus lads you have me upset now:eek:

I hope it's not gonna be full of trinners cocks, they're probably worse than scobies!!

Not all of them, just the wankers who do stupid dancing cos they're locked and think it's hilarious..

Fook it, either way I'll be there for a good dj bangin out a good set and I'll be enjoyin myself.

RaverRo808

Why is it that these type of gigs mainly attract loads of snobby slightly strange middle class spoiled rich kid types and never any 'scobes' as you put it?,these nights never have the buzz or energy the likes of an oldskool night has,maybe you need afew 'scobes' to get the place kickin

Dont get me wrong, I love my Dave Clarkes, Villalobos etc and Im probably as poncy as the next fella, but theres deffo a different vibe at those nights promoted by trinity.

Nothing against Trinty, my gf went there, just there "Club nights" arent very good

They're absolutely ****! My gf does go there, I've been to the ball the last 3 years - in fairness tho, they get the ocassional good act - boys noize, booka shade etc....just the crowd are tossers - someone put electrohouse well recently when they said "its dance music for people who dont like dance music" - too true

t0mm

You get those types at all colleges though, it's just not Trinity. And I am a BIG electro and electro house fan, but my first transition was with a Trancendental Euphoria CD way back in 1999/2000... I like all dance music, love my old skool house and acid, love my electro, love my minimal. And you can't really bring the ball into it, that catered at everyone so you kinda need a neutral act.

I was at John Digweed and 2 of those student types were acting the bollocks one giving the other a jockeyback bumping into people in the middle of a packed dance floor. :rolleyes: If the majority of the crowd were boozed out of it instead of on other things that could of got messy. There is a time and a place for that **** and its not on a dance floor, it's a buzz kill. Ill be going to lektroluv and will enjoy it in spite of them
