costumes and presentation

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 :slight_smile:

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.

Atm the sound hes creating is somewhat Meshuggah meets Current Value / Limewax. Its fucking awesome stuff. Also heavy metal dubstep stuff. Pretty sick. Were working on getting a metal drummer and he can bust out his gat and we roll a full on live metal DnB… tho this is probably a while away as yet.

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.

i was looking through my old stuff and i found my assless chaps. They have New Zealand written all over em =p

O_O I am now officially scared… what have I gotten myself into!

do we wanna know why you own assless chaps man!

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 :slight_smile:

chur bruv we got that down already :smiley:
that attitude changes parties hard

Ditto down here. i’m usually boppin like crazy and even do the ol’ karaoke when the bro goes on " COME ON NOW LETS ALL TAKE SOME MESACALIIIIIIIINNEEEEEE!"
haha takes a few vodkas tho :stuck_out_tongue:

well, alright, then for the next step… um…

Maybe do more collaborative mixing? Instead of doing one to one mix during each other’s songs, make it more of a performance thing?

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