australian drum and bass website

hey kids,
Having a bit of discussion up here in Brisvegas,
and we are curious: would love some thoughts from the Adelaide Massive ...

Discussion is about: how segmented the Australian drum and bass scene seems,
i.e. crews from each city appears very independent from each other, and a perceived sense that each city's drum and bass crew (ie melb/adl/syd/perth/bris etc) may not embrace a drum and bass culture across the whole country.

What do you think? Would we benefit with an Aussie dnb forum/website - unite us all?

discuss!

i cant imagine that having an australia wide forum would be detrimental in any way.

the ozdnbforum was the last attempt at this and it dissapeared into thin air after a short amount of time. not too sure of the reasons behind this, but it was fairly slow as every kinda stuck to their hometown forums.

there is also a dnb forum on inthemix but its easy to see that not all the states are participating on there.

Hi there,

There is a new forum starting up that is aimed at nationwide drum and bass community.

They host competitions for mix of the week, heaps of tips and techniques for both producers and DJ's, and many general forum threads that bring the Australian drum and bass scene together as a whole.

Head over the http://www.freebass.org/forum/ and check it out.

Peace
AZ

No comment your honour.

we do want

 

 

Anyway to answer the original poster, I think it's a good idea. No way to tell if it'll take off or not until it is attempted seriously.

oo-k ... I know i haven't been on here for a while, so maybe I've missed something, whats so funny?  and who's Cale?  and whats with the bitches?

  <--- LOL check him out!

Cale a.k.a Rob Frost is suspicious IMO, we need Rookie to investigate.

I am sure Rookie is already onto it.

Bit of an insiders joke for the people who saw a character called cale appear on this forum. Basically he joined up here and posted about 500 messages of crap per day until he got banned for being really annoying. Along with looking slightly similar to another forum member who also has a spotty record on here (been banned before) and the lousy detective work by yet another forum member we have a recipe for and endless supply of jokes.

Yeah but you don't say it like that Oli.

 

:suspicious:

Well I had to either justify why people were derailing her thread or explain it to her...

I am crying from laughing so much. seriously tears in my eyes from reading this thread.

freebasing.org sounds good to me

 

So is that the same Cale?
Looked at that website, doesnt look too successful

yep, it is the same cale.

 

Hmmm

 

hes gone and made his own website to outdo you!

 

watch out khem

I bet I would be banned form that site LOL The thing is, he is actually making sense on that site. I can read his posts and I can actually comprehend him!

I commend him on that 

It's actually not that bad. The site also isn't meant to outdo AM in any way, as it's more geared up to be an international thing focusing on the DnB scene in general and production/DJ techniques.

Hi...
in melbs we gots the melbbeats and melbdnb and indamix and now myspace and facebook (and others but i dun know them) helps us keep track of everything pretty much state-wise.

the australian drum n bass group on facebook has about 500+ members but only a few post n stuff... most are just happy to find out what's going on... some don't post for fear of being ridiculed on a website.. and some CBF with all the politics etc.

i lurk everywhere from sydfrict, to teknoscape, TJsouljahs and you guys (and the tassie one - digitalthugz)...
i guess it is just a matter of time (or how much time we have to waste whilst getting paid at work)... i reckon it's a pretty unified scene considering the distances between states/ capital cities, but people prefer to stick to their own scene (obviously due to mateship - paying out etc)... and if they need to look interstate, they know where to find it....
Each city will always have it's own crews and promoters that should stay independent because they cater for the needs of the local peeps and have a fair idea of what we want/like.. need.  A few crews cross borders, sometimes the consequences are good.. sometimes disastrous.  From what I understand, there is a good level of communication with some promoters and djs between states (some better than others)... however it would never hurt to encourage ways to enhance the scene and collaborate with one another.

However, the only thing that I see is that interstate djs can't get gigs in other states as much due to the local competition/crews and number of up comers in our own states (areas - but i have a different perspective to a dj/mc/event organiser/long time follower etc...)

Over on our site we have a section for each state.. it usually only gets filled when people are heading that direction or find something interstate that they are interested in... or Khem comes over to give shit!!!  - - - -
A main Aus site may work.. if it has links to every other site... but yeah as for embracing the culture as a whole nation....  what does that actually mean?

(oh .. Kim.. it's you starting this post?!!!   HI!! I'll shut up and stop forum whoring!!)   

Instead of an Australian wide DnB forum/website.
I reckon some should become associates and allow gate way access without having to sigh up to different forums, if its even possible. To be honest I don't even know the names of the interstate DnB forums.
Maybe the DnB needs to stick together promote interstate forums. Couldn't hurt.
A little shortcut key on the home page to access these forums, I mean we're not in competition together we're all pushing the same thing.

Just some thoughts

it would be kinda hard, if not impossible, to have one central login/database for all these different sites if thats what you mean...
