Nando Times: 'Ravers' try to improve social image

The "raves equal drugs" scenario repeats itself all over the world, but a group of Florida ravers aretrying to educate their fellow party-goersabout drugs and safe sex by spreading the word when bad drugs are circulating and passing out condoms at raves. The cynic in me doesn’t think it’ll make much of a difference, but good luck to them all the same.

The Official Fuckparade/Hateparade homepage

I’m back from theFuck Paradein Berlin. The parade itself was denied a permit by the city authorities at the last minute, so it ended up being a demonstration march through the city instead of a full-blown parade with sound systems on trucks and all that. No music was allowed at all, which made for some pretty weird sights like people with ghettoblasters hanging around their necks and even one guy with a home made MP3 player on wheels.

5 Voor 12 - 10 Days Off

On Thursday, I played for 2 hours at the10 Days Offin Ghent and had 2 of the new pioneerCDJ-1000players at my disposal. Well, I can say I’m more than impressed, they act as close to vinyl as I’ve seen a CD player go, you can scratch, backspin, push/pull the record… absolutely amazing technology! I want one (two!)!Now, if only they’d bring the price down.

Enjoy Apocalypse Flyer

When I sawthis flyerfor an electro party yesterday, I thought I must be dreaming. I couldn’t imagine anything more tasteless and devoid of feeling (if not just tact). I think Uriel (the event organiser) must be missing a good percentage of his brain cells. It’s revolting.

Appletree picture page

So I survived the week-end. Turnout at the party was less than last time, a free party on the same day didn’t help and even got people at the entrance of our event branded as capitalists because we were charging a fee. It was great fun though. You can see some pics onappletree. I bet there’ll be quite a crowd on New Year’s Eve though. Two weeks to go.

As you’ve probably noticed, updates have been kind of irregular these days. Right whenthe Guardianlinks to me too! Anyway, things should be getting back to normal, or to whatever state in my life that’s closest to it, very shortly. I’ve been busy with DJ’ing, party organising (the free party was the bomb by the way - photos arehere- click on ‘essential July 12th’) and a certain young lady that entered my life recently has been keeping me away from this land of nerds they call the internet. Oh yeah, and I start a new job soon. Changes, changes, changes....

I tend to keep my vinyl-spinning antics separate from what gets posted here but I got several tellings-off the last time an event of this type took place and I didn’t warn anybody.

To find out the location, call one of the numbers onthe flyerafter 22:00. There will be 2 rooms, one playing breaks, electro, acid, etc, the other playing drum and bass. It’s within walking distance of the city center, be there at midnight…

Collateral Damage: Dance music and orchestras don’t mix
