hey all,
ive been looking into starting a new project with a friend of mine incorporating viking metal and grimey jump up dnb. were looking into possible costume ideas but want to avoid coming across as a freakshow a la rabbit in the moon. ie, i dont want to wear a metal mask and have someone run a lathe across it for the rythym section. we are currently thinking post apoc or steampunk meats zombie apoc. any thoughts?
honestly, ANYTHING you do above and beyond the norm (some guy in a baseball cap, with a stoic character checking his email all night) will com across amazingly well!
take a part outta' soulwax / 2 many dj's book and wear trashbags on your head. just cut out the eyes and draw something on the bag :)
viking metal and D n B?! wicked
Wonder what what would happen if Dimmu Borgir had a baby with Limewax lol
My mate Oly aka Slightly is currently giving birth to this as we speak.Quote:

I rekon if you came on stage in viking battle armour that would be awesome. Full on war-mask with horns n shit... perhaps flaming horns. Yeah, badass.
That shit kinda reminds me of the hardhouse scene tho. Cheesy as fuck, tho it could be done so it wasnt that bad if the shit was actually evil looking and not out of a kids cartoon.

LOL! its KISS with beats
...dang thats an old tune Jones & Stephenson - First Rebirth
7 minute set lol
wow that video...wow. gwar meets hardstyle.... i dunno what to think.... wow....
... yeah.. exactly. somewhat bizarre. seriously not a big fan of hardstyle tho. I need some fucking sub-bass, not just hypercompressed bass-kicks.Quote:

I have a bunch of random articles of clothing from my days as an actor.
@ midian- i won't be bringing the assless chaps cause i don't wanna get my ass beat in a foreign country =)
unless u look like a sheep u should be safe dude
interesting post, i was thinkin about posting the other day about cool things to do with a 2-person DJ act. me and midifidler usually play back to back. just wonderin if anyone had any choice ideas of what to do up on stage besides the usual headbangin, crowd-hyping, drunken fun
Bust out a synth with some nice presets and get a midi drum pad !
When I'm mixing with someone I like to dance around the decks with them, making fools of ourselves. Most of the stuff I spin have vocals so we'll do cheesy karaoke style trade offs in the booth.
Hell, just make fools of yourselves, have the mixes good, and everyone will love it :)
chur bruv we got that down already :DQuote:

well, alright, then for the next step... um...Quote:

yea this will hopefully be the go when we can get both vcis plugged in. then we can do some rad shitQuote:

true guess it really is that simple. cant help but think we need some topless dancers or somethin ;)Quote:

Yo D, make sure the costume is light and taken inconsideration that you might start sweating like crazy...I wore this one year for halloween and lost 10 pounds in water weight.

Oh, I have no sympathy. The club I spin at is awful for heat... One night they turned the heater on by accident, it made the floor and the walls sweat... and then a chunk of ceiling fell in...Quote:
