DJ Krush - Thurs May 29 @ Electric Light

 

this could be a goer...

All over this.

Could anyone hook me up with a dope Krush mix? I've heard a bit of his stuff before, but I'd like to hear a bit more before i make up my mind about going to this...

cheers 

Hell's yeah!

Week before i go to melbs though so i doubt ill make it.

Dang!

Krush is awesome, pity the venue isn't!

its a decent venue but too close to residential in my opinion,
no offence to anyone who lives across the road, or to the venue,
but it works for most of the night, the beer garden and front bar will still be going...
the golden era lounge will be rockin too

aka,  the pimp lounge

cats know producers, and improvements always been made, (i remember patch rockin a set before he left, sound's nicer than before) 

but it will still be an early show as its a Thursday, so last time we went to have a drink at a bar that was open late, easy 

 hi mindthief ...
google search like this gave some good results...
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Dj+Krush+Radio+Set&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
you can choose what you reckon is best

or check the you tube clips on his myspace, the clips on the lower left of the page...

www.myspace.com/krush1962

any remix crew might be interested in knowing that one of his country's campaigns against nuclear waste has a website,
 where people can remix his and other artits tunes, made especially for the movement, you gotta spread the word tho'
check that here

are you serious??

the joint is rocking! nice to look at, good spot, decent sound... crikey, you be a hard customer to please

I've only been to hip hop shows at the Producers Bar, which is a nice place to have a drink, but IMO has terrible sound and an extremely awkward layout that doesn't really suit a live show.

yes, that has been pointed out in the past.
   However the variables that come with who turns it on, who sets it up, who soundchecks, who dj's and the rest .. it's possible to say that the sound set-up for international/ interstate events gets somewhat a bit more of attention than local events...
   i know that shouldn't be, but i doubt that things stay like that for long, feedback has always led to improvements, as for where the chairs and tables go ?
   i think they can do something about that too, if they don't read your comments and act on them, then i might be able to mention it to the staff, work something and make the changes, if they haven't already themselves
busy people 

seriously would love to catch him this time if possible, though thursdays are a tad hard with the bassbin to contend with. last time i saw him at black cat his set was mind blowingly biggles... seriously heavy beats, crossing into proto-dubsteppage in there i reckons, complete with mixer-remixes

one of the best selectors ive ever seen and his 'code 4109' mix cd is one of my all time faves.

An article in the latest onion says it will be a hip hop & dnb set, so thats got me sold  I asked Clinic 116 how much tickets were and they told me $32 + BF, so around $34...if thats any help to anyone

Didn't he play there last time? I'm pretty sure we saw him there. Same night as Phace was on at that joint near Rise... Right?

I love Krush! He played on a Tuesday in 2003 at Minke, bang on my 19th birthday, what a dude.

I will hopefully be there!
 

nice. cheaper than venuetix a little bit

may as well get some more links up here for everyone to check for tickets,
some places may have their tickets go quicker than others, but they always got more
and can have them held for you at the door if they run out at the stores, no problem
 the capacity is 230 in Producer's i believe, but the Golden Era Lounge will also be open,
so i'm sure they'll be enough tix, anyway...

yeah it was the same location as 2006, I remember Krush also told me he was asked to sign a girl's breast at minke in 2003,
first time for him in his career !!
i was playing at the time but i heard it caused quite a stir, people ( mostly the guys ) were all swarming around taking photos..
he loves Adelaide 

here's his new site URL by the way
http://www.sus81.jp/djkrush/

No shit, I missed it too! Bummer.

So who is going to this that I know? I wanna go, but rent-a-friend barred my number   

You don't know me, but I'll be there with my boobs out.

Damn, you with your boobs out? Sign me up! 

Who are you going with?

I am yet to rake in anyone else yet, it's too far away at the moment! 
I'm sure there will be heads that are Keen as a mustard brand to get to this one though.

hmmm. only down the road... i daresay it would be possible to call in after the radio show eh?

i'll be there for sure

Sweet. Now I will know 3 people 

I'll be there, rockin' out with my cock out   

 
c'mon...    that's gonna get you all the wrong attention 
 guess we all have to make sure we keep away from mindthief and his thing,
you know, give him some space so he can "do" his thing !!!
can't have any messy mess on other people now
 

alright,
people have probably read this on Krush's site schedule,
but two weeks ago he was performing with C.L. Smooth live in Tokyo,
then just finished, this weekend been, his "France Festival Madness" tours, two separate festivals in two parts of France,as well as a couple of club gigs.
Playing alongside cats like Anti-Pop Consortium, Battles, Dj Food and Dee Kay at Nuits Sonores in Lyon ( huge line up !! check the links, Jeff Mills, Roy Ayers etc )
more here >
http://www.nuits-sonores.com/int/uk.php
http://www.nuits-sonores.com/festival/nuits.php

then at Festival La 7eme Vague in Anger, (which sold out online , only door tix and box office remiained) , alongside High Tone , a nice Dub band from France and Goran Bregovic, with his 40 piece band with every sound under the sun!!
check some more about that here, if you all got latest Flash / Shockwave Plug-in >
http://www.7vague.com/

... ALSO,
hopefully we get to hear about some more of that fun from his interview, in  this, or next fortnight's Onion... dunno yet
as he's re-loading his vinyl weaponry Back in Tokyo this week.
 Krush touches down in Canberra next Thursday...
or as mindthief might like to call it...  Thrustday !!   

not long now... plenty of time to tell the boss your gonna make it in sometime after lunch on following Friday 

  thats a shocker mate

yeah, was pretty bad ...    * tones down silly meter *

things are looking good for the night...

if cats are up to check Strange Rampage on Three  d Radio from 9am til 11 am today ( Friday ) , you may catch my mini-mix i gave to Carlos to spin...
he might not play it til next week, but tune in anyway, cause you could WIN yourself a ticket to see KRUSH...

it's one of other giveaways, as J-talk on Radio Adelaide from 9pm - 10pm on Friday nights will also be flinging one around i've heard 

if that's not enough for the hip hop in us, if you get your ticket from edukated in regent arcade or at edukated.com.au you'll have special access to the Golden Era Lounge,
to get your dose of the good stuff mixed by the cats who bring the classic hip hop sound in adelaide, namely Madcap, DeNorthwoode and Jason Lee...

B # Sharp has its own ace up its sleeve and we'll bring that to you as it gets closer 

and you can even win a free ticket right here on Adelaide Massive very soon aswell !!

Krush  "the jimi hendrix of turntablism"???   

maybe he'll burn his decks on stage!

 
Sister, I was there with you at minke in 2003 and once again in 2008!

I'm just wondering, what chance is there of tickets selling out for this?

should be a dope night .
ill be there.

love the poster!

Got mine from edukated on sat...getting pumped for this 

AHHhh   Just found this thread.. I LoL'd hard

Mindthief hahahah, keep your distance he seems to love wang.

 

anyone who knows me knows that's wrong 

but in case you didn't know, i'm straight

anyway,

Krush will be appearing on rage as a guest programmer, i look forward to that...

people who have seen flyers around town may make tickets go,
but you can always call up the stores ( i posted the numbers on previous page )
and ask them, you never know hey!

Krush is in Canberra tonight 

Actually man, I think he was calling me gay It's his amateur way of insulting me...he could've used some creative alternatives such as -

Poo Snatcher
Chocolate Thief
Ass Bandit/Pirate
Turd Burglar
Cock-Knocker
etc...

But instead he resorted to stating that i "loved wang"


Oh sweet!! If I'm home on Saturday night I'll definitely check it!

He probably could have used these too.... 

Pillow biter
Poo packer
Poo pirate....

 

the first person to answer these yes or no questions CORRECTLY gets themself a ticket to the event THIS Thursday, easy ...
pm me with the correct "yes" or "no" for each (in order)

i'll then send a pm asking for the winner for their full name and it'll be yours to collect...from inbound, b#sharp or somewhere like that,

the winner only needs to show their i.d. to collect it

OK...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>   

1. Can Dj Krush play an instrument ?

2. Have any drum and bass producers remixed his music ?

3. Has his music featured in any major movie soundtracks ?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

go go

 

the winner has been decided... all good, comp closed ...

congrats ...


the rage programming line-up is set for broadcast down the track, not this weekend...

you could fly to melburne tonight or sydney on saturday if you want 

Should this thread be stickied? It is this week...

When are we gonna know set times? 

should be fucking sweet

have heard that the tix are selling quickly... ill prob call in for a wee while after fresh, so see some C's there

LOL I don't have my ticket yet! Drats. Will there be any on the door?

That's what I've been thinking...

Saw Krush this past Friday...

And I came to the conclusion that he's obviously a robot made by the Japanese to show up the Americans at their own game, once again.

Fucking amazing.

It started off with really quite ambient stuff, and worked up slowly to faster, more recognisable hiphop. He used Final Scratch / Serato / whatever, and unlike 90% of other DJs I've seen use this and look like they're reading their emails instead of DJing, I think I saw him look at the PC maybe four times... He also used regular vinyl and some kind of drum machine and effects processor.

Fantastic. I hate most hip hop DJ's as they compromise aural pleasure for the sake of physical feats of showmanship (or because they don't have any taste), but Krush has never done this. It's nice to have it confirmed that he hasn't changed.

I'm so going to this. =)

shall be a good show indeed, i may even have some PBW tickets on me to sell off

Is it too much to ask for some fucking set times? This is all of 2 days away and I wouldn't mind planning transport options.

aiii true.
he's certainly got the skills but doesnt overdo it... his selections are what sets him head and shoulders above.




fuck, might have to leave skippy alone for the last bit if Krush comes on before midnight.

  


anybody?

i am not sure the promoter of this event is even on AM

electric light closes at 3 yeah?

id imagine krush would be on sometime between midnight and close

wasnt that hard to make an educated guess

my internet has been out guys sorry...
here's the latest.
b sharp will have an instore signing between 6 and 630pm tomorrow.
happy hour tomorrow at elh between 8pm and 10pm...
tickets are still available at all outlets, clininc 116 etc..
there WILL be tickets at the door, though only about 30 or so tickets so get there early, to avoid lining .. all other gigs in australia have done this during the week, you've been warned
smokers just go directly out the front of the producers bar or in through front bar to beer garden

and set times
auldais, wicked producers and wicked dj, he's on from 8
then its alienne,
bennie raw,
krush ,
then japeye
it is licensed till 3am, get there before midnight if you don't wanna miss krush...
get there before i8 pm to get the good beers and vibes and stay there till 2am-ish, you'll all have a good night...
all good now ?
cheers

Does anybody less lazy or blind than me know what the price is? I might be picking up a few tickets tomorrow, and I want to make sure I have the cash.

Tickets from edukated (in regent arcade) are around $29. Tickets from venuetix are bit over $35. Tickets from Clinic 116 are $34. Hope thats helpful to ya mate

motherfuck!
cant commit to a ticket in case im too late (or too farken tired) but i was planning to call in on the way by and see if he was still on.
looks unlikely ill be able to get in even if i wanted to:(

Perfect, much appreciated.

I fail at finishing my assignment therefore I fail at attending tonight.





Have a great night guys, I'm sure my boss will tell me all about it tomorrow!

P.S. Say hello to Mikey for me Benny!

Bennie told me to let you all know to be there before 11:30.

I had heard that was potentially when he would start, so turn up well before then to avoid disappointment!

and now ive got 2 hours of radio to do, looks like im going to be disappointed, Krush wise that is...

i managed to get there to see half of krush's set... and glad i made the effort!

the place was absolutely packed, the crowd were loving his set, and his tunes were, well fucking awesome. lol to whoever it was who made that remark about krush not looking like he's checking his email when he's mucking about with his lappy! jeebus, i hope all of his equipment has reinforced knobs and keys cos he was going nuts getting all those beats to do all those tricks.

sorry for the lack of technical description
but its that thing he does making the beats roll back over themselves, cutting them up etc


good to see ya bennie
big ups rummage, jana (!), dwell, melly, sway, toby, mindthief and his crew for getting down.
and double big ups to rosco for sorting me out an entry...

Fucking good shit, Krush absolutely smashed it Wicked way to start the weekend...

Good to see ya there Jayar 

Fuck, what an awesome night 
Happy birthday mindthief 

Fucking spewn I missed this.

   My brain is still warped from the whole positive experience.
Props to the people who hung around at B#sharp for Krush to arrive from his delayed soundcheck at ELH ( he was meant to be at store around 6pm, didn't get there til 7pm ! )
   Krush likes to sign stuff with lots of detail and effort, he also likes to chat to people via his tour manager ( easy as if you don't speak japanese ), and he was glad to have been able to do that both at b#sharp and in producer's bar.
   The place was indeed packed and i even offered to help move that darn pool table but nooooo... anyway
the door staff were all very friendly and accommodating with the crowd and multiple directions they were travelling in throughout the venue.
   A great crowd, very patient, a few toes stepped on and drinks spilt ( accidentally of course !! ) but it all went a bit funny at the end of Krush's set were a few overexcited cats decided it'd be ok to jump up on stage, break glasses in the process and generally scare the sh*t out of him in order to congratulate him... ?? anyway, no-one was hurt, that was the main thing and a great vibe was maintained all night.
   Props also to the dedication and passion the crowd showed, lining up patiently to get tickets at door, waiting to be served at the bar, moving through crowds etc...
Krush's set was tops !!! started off with a nice intro , bass lines and soundscapes to set the tone, then it just weaved in and out of different tempos and beats, seamlessly and to the crowds every heart beat, yes, we were all paying attention to the sounds, enjoying it in the style adelaide is known for 
   I had a chance to chat with him afterwards and the next day over a coffee at the airport ( i hadn't slept due to studio session madness ! )
He's really liking the serato set-up ( only just started using it after the last tour in 2006 ), and says that he's virtually re-created, improved ( he consistently improves his beats and sounds, it's called "kai-zen" .... ) and re-designed his sets in such a creative way, that he thinks it may cause some trouble with all the ideas he has been working on all the time. that is to say, too many ideas, not enough time  !!
   Well, I hope it was everything everyone expected and more...
The amount of crew that was there , all different age groups, etc., looked like they were happy and relaxed, success of an event in anyone's books...
Thanks to all the staff, support crew, dj's and people who helped out with promo, radio and marketing this cool event... and the sound was nice
