fukn sweet.

i thought the original ad in onion also said '5 djs' and there's 8 listed here so was the 5 a mistake?

the ad also said for rising talent

the whole point of the comp from what i understood after having a look at the website was that it was designed for those DJs that are playing out that haven't quite cracked the big time yet. hence why the ad states it is for rising talent

i don't know if you'd still be considered a rising talent would ya patch? i would have thought in the land of d&b you would be considered to have made it a long time ago

thats what i said to the guy on the phone but he explained to me what i said b4. wierd. :)

it should be an interesting night to say the least.

good luck to everyone in there :)


do you know what mixer theyve got lachy?

do you know what mixer theyve got lachy?

if its the usual garage mixer its a 3 chanel Rane with 4 band EQ
no effects. Good mixer, but the knobs are a little bit small and fiddly at times though

the biggest problem with garage though is it is usually pitch black - so bring a torch

agreed with patch - good luck to everyone in it - see you all at 9 for hopefully a large amount of free brews;D

bah - what a crock

patchy and pender need to hold their heads high

we all know who the real winners were last night.

So who was the winner then?

Yeah I was hoping to find out as well.. Got excited a bit when I saw your post Heath. Thought you had posted it for me :(

the winner according to the judges - ben watts

the winner according to the crowd - patch/lachy pender

in a decision that really went against the crowds opinion

DJs to me a there for the crowd and not themselves. this comp has showed how self indulgent DJs have become - that someone who can do a whole lot of turntablist like tricks with house music while getting a mediocre response from the crowd can beat someone who had the whole club jumping and screaming.

thats alright though cos sometimes losers end up being winners in the long run.... just look at popstars;D

Were you actually at the same venue I was "DaGreenWithEnvyGoblin"???? Ben Watts played an absolute wicked set and the crowd was loving it!! He deserved to win.

I think that the panel of judges would have made their choice on a range of factors - including skill, choice of tracks, how the DJ read the crowd and played the crowd. Obviously these judges know what they are talking about and have a lot of experience in the industry or they wouldn't have been there.

Its a little sad that people who don't have this wealth of knowledge or years of experience seem to think that they know better.

Patch and lachy pender were NOT the winners on the night - they played alright but certainly weren't up to the standard of Ben Watts, sorry DaGreenGoblin. Ben Watts and house music in general were the winners last night.

Well done beano - the only self indulgent people around here are the wankers who don't know anything about house music or what it really means to get a floor pumping.:lol: :lol: :lol:

i was in the same club last night mate - were you there? cos if you were you'd know that benny did not have the biggest crowd reaction of the night

minx you shouldn't assume things about people on the net - i love my house music probably more then anything else - it leaves the rest for dead.

i could go on, but i'm not going to cos i can't be fucked - in know i'm right and so do the majority of the other crew that were their last night.

on a side note well done to cheeky b - thought the hard house wouldn't go down but she had heads bopping for probably the only tme that sound will ever get heard at garage

ease up tigers

benny is a fuckin ace DJ - he is technically brilliant and a fuckin good guy to boot. he might have missed a mix at the end - but hey that was a pressure cooker situation.

good damn it if ya want to know my list of mistakes, my mixing was loose as last night, i'll list em off for ya - including not being hear shit through my head phones for the first track or 2.

i take my hat off to benny - he had me bouncing - and anyone that knows me knows that house is just as much of a passion of mine as breaks.

good luck in melbourne benny ;D

sorry.... must have been my minx claws coming out.;)

Good luck Beano - your going to smoke em in melbourne!!!;D

Congrats to all that were asked to compete. That means something for sure :)

Who were the judges? Were they local crew or part of the tour that travel to each state to pick the winners??

Congrats to all..

sorry.... must have been my minx claws coming out

thats all good

chrys the judges for the night were Blake, Roscoe (from minke) madness and john chalmers.

definately would have been very interesting to have a national touring panel of judges

Thanks Loc. Wasnt sure how the judging worked for this comp. i assumed that because it was a comp that was being held nationally that there was some set criteria and perhaps a set panel of judges who did it from state to state. Thanks for clarifying..

the criteria was
20% technical skill
20% track selection
20% crowd response
10% genre crossing
10% era crossing
10% creativity
10% dj pressence

well done to Benny Watt - i havent seeeny uo play much but i hear youre pretty rockN

i couldnt attend last night but well done to all for being selected in the first place

congrats Lachy for best up'n'coming the other night

Jules buddy - you're finally getting the respect you deserve with best DNB at the DMA's

well done Adelaide for having such a new skool crew of dj's and artists that are constantly coming through

AdelaidEvolution
3004.

cheers matty :)

i didnt play as well as i could have. had some trouble finding the cd player and lost a bit of time... also the cdj800's are so fukn touchy compared to the 1000's... if your gonna get them, spend the extra cash and get the 1000's....

congrats benny.. good luck!

:)

but as lachy pointed out, crowd response was only worth 20%, so whether the punters enjoyed it or not was not the main point of the comp...

i woulda thought that it would have been the most important factor, but oh well....

i was there ... even in my state at the time so u should all be happy ! :P

now, it was a awesome night and well done to benni ! :P on him wining ! hope u make it over melb and take over the world

well done to lachy, k2, patch and the rest on making it such a awesome night to see awesome dj's and a great night out and seeing the next up n' coming dj's making the crowd what it did

so ... when's my turn ? :P ;D ;)

Well lets hope next time there is some of these people on the judging panel as they clearly have more idea than Blake etc.

i will agree whole heartedly with that one - its like being in a great big fuckin tin can of bouncing sound

Derrick Carter has even banned Garage from his club gigs

don't blame him at all - those bose systems are highly overated especially when you set them out to look asethicly pleasing instead of a way that provides optimum sound.
