>hehe, was the bass that loud it made the camera wobble too? no i think that was the booze being too strong and making the photographers legs & general coördination skills wobble.. ;) > Looks like a fun night ;-) > Any chance of a rough translation of the page ? > The only bit I could guess was 'Acid Tekno'. > I assume that means the same in Dutch as it does in English... > > Colin f hrmmm..i'll give it a go; (break out the babelfish..) the review is from groovetrackers.com, and the writer is not a regular at parties with this kind of music. he also writes that i have a different name than i actually do, and that i used a laptop instead of a bunch of boxes with knobs on. but here goes: "For some years I have been in search of new styles in music, which from time to time brings me to strange places. Last weekend it was in the Bazart in The Hague, that beautiful city behind the dunes. A couple of weeks ago I came to the darkforce-site by means of a link of a link in a link. It was immediately clear, at these parties waltzes weren't being played. I read a subjective report from a boy who's spontaneously sent report of a previous party had been placed on the site: "A set was played that many famous party-closing dj's could learn from." My technosensor was on sharp. 18 October the next party would be held. In the introduction for this evening word combinations were used that would spontaneously make you break a sweat: loeihard, [sorry, no translation for this. means really really hard. -ed.] in combination with techno. Acid in combination with set. Raw, in combination with tekno. Psyhedelic, in combination with lights and so on. Our teKno initiation would be soon.. When we arrived the place wasn't very busy yet, but a small exploration round is never a bad thing if you find yourself in unknown territory. The round was made quickly; the Bazart, we concluded, was a very nice place, kind of Melkweg-alike space, with Melkweg-alike [a place in amsterdam. -ed.] people behind the bar, and rather small, which increases the atmoshphere on smaller parties. the music was already clearly present and indeed at times snoeihard. [once again, no translation; means louder than loeihard. -ed.] Dj Rush had already been left way behind at 1 o'clock, and we knew that from now on it would only get more terrible, or if you want, improve. records I had never heard before rammed their way into my ears, and forced my legs into movement for as far as I could find rhythm. mad record after mad record could not prevent my concentration from drifting from time to time. At a certain moment this dj was playing so hard which I could no longer relativise how far up this was on scale of Richter. Stefan was therefore a great dj laying a foundation for the rest of the evening. It was up to BSR [which should be me. -ed.] to give a continuation to this and I secretly hoped this live dj would spike up the intelligence level a bit with well-timed breaks and well built tracks. He took a step back, to fifth speed, building up his set calmly and had a couple of very good tracks in his laptop. Our curiosity had been aroused as to what the last dj had to bring, since we had heard from some people that Joost G was the bomb. The tempo, the basses, the beats, the claps, the double, what says I triple basses, the sounds which from all sides he assaulted us with... Acid Tekno, followed closely by Industrial, followed closely by Noise, and at the end (when I was longer there) Terror. In spite of the hardness of his records, and the tempo, this dj could still show some great mixing, very well timed fingerplaying, at times intelligent, which made his set more then just brainless stomping. The crowd was very relaxed, and also the employees and bouncers couldn't care less what you were doing, as long as you were pleasant to everyone. Many people seemed to be a more alternative public, and danced in their own manner or simply stoodfor some time at the side with their eyes closed. We knew that if we would remain until the end of the party the terror would give us an ear-infection, therefore we escaped the Bazart and with that The Hague at about four in the morning. I wanted to listen to Marco Carola sets, and Sven Vath in the car, he who would feel like a warm bath for our ears. We left the music off in the end. Just nothing would be nice for a while. Joost G, closing dj and organizer has thrown a great party, and has done so before, new darkforce events are being announced on the site darkforce.nl. you must, however, absolutely like this music if you don't want to have nightmares for the rest of your life. It was a succeeded evening, but for the coming time even I have heard enough Acid Tekno, Noise and Industrial... " not so rough after all..thnx to systranbox.com :)
