yea - nice mix man! i hope you find a system to play on - i would love to shake my thing to this sound on the playa! its difficult to find that beat out there. plenty of lame west coast house and boring minimal is infecting everything,even the playa; and the breaks are not as funky as they used to b...

the whole relativity thing gets to me ... if art is relative, then everything is potentially art ... and, therefore, nothing is. i think you pretty much hit it on the nail. everything IS potentially art, AND potentially ISN'T! sorry, black and white newtonian thinking is out; "it is art" and "it is...

everyone is right. my post was intended to mix up the two....rave kids, spend some time exploring the rest of burning man, and what it is all about....it's about what you make it to be. old timers, you know you like shaking that ass, and sometimes it is an art form to get it outta the chair to do s...

Music is art. Period. But only the "live' stuff, with real instuments and /or vocals ya' know ? ahem, well i suppose then that the nazis also were right in deciding which art is "real art" and which is just worthless trash, created by "subhuman 'tardos"? "DJs" are NOT artists however, no matter how...

ITS NOT ART YOU DUMB-ASS RAVER. dont get me wrong, i am part of the loudest thump out there, but its not art. so, so sad that even in a place so wonderful and seemingly open-minded, there are people who like to spout out STEREOTYPES like "dumb ass raver" at people whom they do not even know, just b...

[quote="Simon of the Playa"]how about some nice throbbing gristle.


or at least some tasty ulf's?[/quote]

my teenage angst years are long, long gone.

[quote="Uncle Tom"]Anyone out there going to be playing either hard or minimal techno as I would love to have the chance to hear you play[/quote] try to find out more about "wolf and lamb" they have brought out minimal techno to the playa a couple of times now. dont know if they will be back this ye...

[quote="303jewels"]Anyone know of any camps for 2009 playing Chicago acid, NYC House, Detroit Techno, Belgian EBM/New Beat etc. from 1986 - 1989? IMHO - proper dance music!!! -Coming a long way to hopefully dance in the dust! Call me a sad old c*** but my hips are still ruled by this vibe!!! I will ...

[quote="Simon of the Playa"]we've never had tiesto or oakenfeld at root society...that was a mock newspaper article by Spock Mountain Research Labs. we have had Carl Cox, and Bass Nectre, and Freq Nasty, and the Furious Five ,and Hatiras, and Jelo, and some guy from france who spins at 'space' and s...

i don't think that opulent temple or root society should even bother getting such huge names like oakenfold and tiesto ... i mean, goodness, but how about being a little bit more cutting edge??? those guys are so washed up and done for. why not get some good dj's on the playa like steve rachmad from...

its always the same: art versus music! it seems to me as burners got old (er) they forgot that bm started out as basically a rave in the desert, and decided that dance music isnt art. what the hell? music is ALSO art! and come on, if you go to burning man......i mean its NOt a spa vacation! there ar...

help me find it, pahleeeze! i ve always wanted one of those hats and when i saw this one before BM in a store in sf, i was very happy! then, on the playa.......i wore it just that one time and lost it the same night! (wednesday night, on the esplanade, around 7-10 o' clock). BOOO-HOO! :( i mean if w...
