808 State Discussion

I totally agree it could have been better, I agree there's always room for improvement in most things and your comments on the sound-system and MC's are, imho, correct. However, your review slated the night, you didn't mention anything in a positive light, and, imho, I think that was unfair and went ...

girl in an angelic state,

thanks again for more kind words... really appreciated...

no need to sigh and wish it was like the good old days, the brilliant times are now... dance music has never been better in many ways... amazing technology making better tunes and providing unification... i think ...

Hi Pete,

There were 4 Earthdance parties in Brazil this year - in Teresina, Cachoeira Alta, Rio and Florianapolis, and 3 others in South America - Caracas, Buenos Aires and Santiago...

It works by promoters holding Earthdance events, and at midnight gmt every party plays an ambient peace track ...

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangledesh, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Cyprus, Columbia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Nigeria ...

Hi,

Thanks girl in an angelic state and Steve for your kind words...

As a co-promoter for Earthdance and Silky I would say that I am very interested in future events...

I much prefer the dj format - a lot cheaper to do a dj event, and nowadays with people like Gerald, Graham and many others ...

oh yeah, and the guy in the photo could be a bloke called gerald but is not A Guy Called Gerald...

girl in an angelic state... wish you'd been there aswell...

and also blue jammer, in terms of 'you're used to bigger and better things': Earthdance 2004 had over 150 cities in 48 countries taking part - almost certainly the biggest co-ordinated, simultaneous dance party the world has ever seen... if you've been to a bigger party than that I think we'd all ...

Just a few points to add to the blue jammer review:

The party was originally meant to be at The Blue Rooms - a 900 capacity venue with brilliant sound-systems and 3 rooms, so Andy, Darren and Gerald would all have been in their own room and would have got a lot longer to play, the MC's and harder ...

I managed to get a couple, shall send them to you if they are any good... there should be others about aswell...

Spread love all over the world!

Was an amazing party... it was the 8th annual Earthdance, a perfect time for an 808 reunion... and an oldschool reunion it was with Gerald, Graham, Darren, Andy and some of their family in the house. It was also a beginning - the first 808 State participation at Earthdance, the largest simultaneous ...

Managed to get a copy of New Order 808 acid remixes. Here is my review:


After being tucked away in Graham Masseys' Mums' loft for years, this remix of New Orders' 'Blue Monday' has finally found its' way onto vinyl en route to dancefloors around the world! :)

If you hear this on a club sound ...

priceless would be without him wouldn't it? if he turned up it would be price (or priceful maybe?)
