seedarklyxero HELL; January 21
This was my second time spinning Fetish Night at Club Hell and I'm honestly a little surprised at how slow the beginning of the night is. I thought the last time was just an off night, but that first hour seems to drag when there are 5-10 people and staff there. When the crowd finally poured in between 10-10:30, the floor picked up slowly. I ended my set with a request I should have hit 20 minutes earlier, which I mistakenly believed to be unfamiliar to the crowd, but it really caused such a great reaction, with screams of excitement and the floor swelling in thrall to it! It surprised Dank Coma as well since he'd never heard the track before.
I had to work without a monitor because theirs was suffering some malfunction, which was a great challenge to mix solely from earphones. I did OK all things considered, but I definitely prefer monitors. Again, no complaints, so I did fine. I also have to remember I can take a few more musical risks at Hell. There's a lot of music I can branch to that will work there, even when it wouldn't anywhere else I spin.
Still, Dank Coma tells me he'll have me back in March so I'm looking forward to it!

HAVEN; January 27
Haven presented its first ever Bloodlust Vampire Ball and it was fantastic! Lots of cool vampire costumes and vampire movies and all the trimmings! Plus great music all night long! Mothra and Damian Plague rocked a super tag team near the end of the night! I also had a great time hanging with Znuh and chatting dj stuff.
My sets were well done but again, not flawless (from my perspective at least) and I have two very specific things I need to resolve.
1) Stop "painting myself into a corner" I can't figure out how to mix myself out of. I end up panicking and throwing on a song that clashes with the one I've trapped myself with because I can't feel my way out and resort to math.
2) Throw VNV Nation out of my book! I ended up playing the same track Mothra had earlier in the night. Granted, there was at least 1 or 2 hours between the offending repeat but my problem with VNV Nation is I simply NEVER recognize it.
I own it, I listen to it, I forget it. When I hear it in a club, I simply can't identify it and when I play it, I play it for its math more than its feel. So I'm sorry to anyone disappointed by this decision, but I'm done with that band until I've played with it more at home. Every DJ plays them enough so I doubt it will be missed.
Yes, I know people were still dancing their asses off, but it doesn't make it any less a faux pas.
Oh and after Mothra let me know I'd played the song he had played earlier, he went on to play a different version of the Zombie Girl track I started the night with. It was a cool sort of "full circle" feel since I played the "lounge" version which sounds like a campy cover and he played the actual song so that was fun, and funny since I got to rib him a little for the same "mistake" I'd just made. hee hee
Last note: I found some new music by a band I played once per set to gauge reactions. I'm pretty pleased with the reactions and I have another couple of tracks to test next time.
When is next time?
Well, Haven presents its 13th Anniversary Event: A Very Dark Circus on Tuesday, February 17!
I'll be spinning along side DJs Mothra, and Znuh!
