How was this event? Heard it was a real nightmare….
What about the proving grounds? Did you prove your worth?
Sad to say that the night was a total bust. After 3 set time changes, one of these on the actual day, a few hours before the event started, I wasn’t really expecting much.
Unfortunately they had sound issues with both of the rooms. When we arrived, at around 12, they had only just gotten the side room up from a sound outage. Promptly after that the main room lost all sound. Issues I was told were due to the sound technician not being on site.
A majority of the DJs playing in the “Proving Grounds” had left during this time, and as a result the set times were all over the place. Luckily enough my set time didn’t change, altho I did start 20 mins early due to filling in for some of the other DJs that had left, or not turned up. The DJ on before me, Panty Snort, absolutely smashed it with one broken arm. He played an amazing set.
My VS set went great – the guy I was up against, Deally, played extremely well. We played moreso as a team rather then against eachother. I failed to see any kind of judges scoring our set, so I doubt there was any kind of real competition going on. Will be interesting to see who plays at the next event, and if they go through with their mix CD… I was surprised, as they really pushed the gig as “The tournament of 2010” and made a big deal about the comp. Was sad to see it go so badly, because it was something different and a fresh idea.
Overall, I couldn’t really find many redeeming features of the event. The entrance price was high ($18), drinks were served in plastic cups, and the sound issues put a really huge dampener on the event. That said, when the sound systems were working, the place did work well – it was just a combination of everything else that put a negative spin on the whole experience for me.
I think, for their second event, they were aiming a little too high. I hope the krew can learn from their mistakes. I’ll definitely be on board for the next event if they’re happy to have me back. Support for small krews is just too small around Melbourne nowadays – so we really have to get on board these smaller events.
