neon tetra wrote:. . and his name is "DJ Swamp".
A few weeks ago, he played at a party that my friends threw. After his set, he purposely poured an entire beer on the mixer & broke it. They had to scramble to find another one so that their main headliner (DJ Shortee) could play. This was probably the biggest douche move I can think of, so I figured he must have been out of his mind or something.
He refused to pay for the damaged equipment, but as it turns out.... this is something he does ALL THE TIME.
In fact, he even brags about it in an DJ Times Magazine interview: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak- ... 1362_n.jpg
This would still be kind of a douchey move if it was HIS equipment he was constantly breaking, but it isn't. And he doesn't pay for the stuff he breaks.
Sadly, it appears that he now attends Burning Man. I think it would be a shame of he ruined someones equipment there.
I wanted to do my part and alert the community about this man. Again, this isn't gossip or anything else; it's just what he does. I think perhaps he thinks it's a "rock star" move or something, but I think he's just a dick.
Anyway, if you see his name on a lineup somewhere, please alert the owner of the gear that this nonsense may happen.
Thanks.
Swamp is a class A piece of dog shit. I've dealt with him at a party before. I highly doubt ANY smart rave camp would book him considering he sucks as a dj. Hence, why he breaks equipment and sets shit on fire.
Fuck you, fuck you...you're cool, fuck you !!

Thanks for the note.
Quick eplaya tip. Grow thick skin fast. Everyone is a troll.
By everyone, I mean really every single person on this forum ranks pretty high in troll power. You have to remember most of it is comedic troll power, so as long as you respond back with a nonsensical video about some mundane inside joke then your golden.
Pouring a beer on some equip should result in a quick "ball punch" without question.

must be the same reason people dont use their real names on e-playa....Hmmm?
oh wait, I do....
guess i'm not afraid to put my Money where my posts are...so is it safe to assume your real name is elorrum? Or is that an Alias? And if so, why do you do it? To get Away with shit? Or to get the Really hot chicks?

My parents, then Professor and Mrs. Fishist named me theCrypto, although it was difficult for the hospital and county bureaucrats to understand the capital letter in the middle of my name.

Oh Boy~a
So THIS is where it all came from. Ya'll went and pissed NT off.
Because you didnt get all defensive with him about some DJTARD?
Really?
And Im sorry Neon Tetra, but if you really really think BM is just a giant rave, your definitely doing it wrong, Im sorry for you on that account.
My burn is only .05% rave music/camps. I swing by them in my art car to drop off our peeps who enjoy that part of it, then the rest of us go check out and play on fun things.
Then during the day...(oh thats right if your a raver,you never see daylight ...do you?)
Man, there is so many fascinating things going on, and of course I miss like 250+ a day, But I attempt at least another 300...ya some keep me there past the time to fit in 300, hahahaha....
Neon, You need to go to bed 2-3 nights so you can see what goes on during the day, might actually even bump up your burn a notch or two...and show you how very lil' comparison to a "RAVE" it is. More like Disney on acid! ( and No I dont do Acid!)

Names pinemom, but my friends call me "Piney".
Simon of the Playa wrote:yeah, thats her, already on it.
however i disagree wholeheartedly with your statement
"Second, Burning Man is a RAVE more than anything else these days. I wish it wasn't, and I know that it's considered high fashion to hate on electronic music, but it is what it is. If you really hate electronic music that much that you'd cheer-on the destruction of peoples rather expensive equipment... why the hell do you attend the world's biggest (and probably most expensive) rave?"
you are so fucking wrong, and this coming from a person who loves to shake his booty and is deeply involved with the scene.
Burning Man is NOT A RAVE....if you think it is, well, hate to say it, but
YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG
if thats all you think it is, i pity you, you need to be gifted a clue.
Simon said it so perfectly.
If BM was just mostly a 7 day rave.....maybe 100 people would show. I know I wouldn't. I like electronic music....not all and not all the time though.
BM is CLEARLY a bacon festival! I've never been to a rave that has bacon....even if I did, I wouldn't pay $300 to get in.
I'm a steel fabricator and artist and tinkerer. For me, BM is tinker porn! So, I go for the porn......and bacon.
I've got plenty of music at home.
My own tinker toys don't get me off anymore, so I find more at BM.
I may not be using my "Real" name (Neil) on here. But I'm sure if I did....I could still get away with plenty of shit. And the bunny face? Yeah that's me.
Plus the BOYS dig it!

I thought he was a shitty DJ before I heard about all this, but sadly he does seem to get bookings.

No, not really. The reason Simon & a few other clowns on here are trolling me is b/c I don't sugar coat the fact that our troops have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Iraq & Afghanistan (and now Pakistan, to be fair).

I don't think it's just a rave. But to say it isn't one at all is being dishonest.
Like I said..
neon tetra wrote:Yes, I know that it's also so much more...
But if someone really HATES "raves" that much, then perhaps Burning Man has evolved (devolved?) into something that they really should move on from.
I HATE Christmas music more than anything. And as much as I LOVE Burning Man... if every camp that plays electronic music now decided to only play Christmas music the entire week... I think I would no longer attend.
I don't see how these people that HATE electronic music - to the point of cheering on the destruction of peoples audio gear - can really tolerate Burning Man. You pretty much hear it almost everywhere you go.
I love it, and even I wish there was a bit less of it (though I do wish there was more downtempo, ambient, experimental, avant garde EDM, etc.)

I do.

I do.

I see it more as a psychedelic carnival on an alien planet.

I think you couldn't be more wrong.

They were there first?
You don't hear it at Playawaste Raiders! Nothing but Peter Murphy, Bing Crosby and a little Louie Armstrong...

Nah....because most people that go, aren't "ravers." Just cause there's electronic DJ's doesn't mean it's a rave. Plus....take out the art, flames, flamers, and pretty much everything the non-ravers bring.....you would end up with a boring party that most ravers wouldn't enjoy, and a desert with harsh conditions. At the end, the Playa would be full of trash because your ravers would be too strung out and tired to clean up after themselves.
