05.21.13 | big up indeed |
Acanthus
05.21.13 | So did you play your stuff, as in live performance, or actually DJ? Either way major kudo's, envious a bit truth be told. |
Calc
05.21.13 | movin' on up
to da east side |
Jash
05.22.13 | @Acanthus it was just a DJ set, still working on bein able to actually perform my stuff, a ways away from that happening. Although my set was like half of my own tunes, lots of unreleased stuff so Aids and the rest of the people listening got spoiled |
Acanthus
05.22.13 | I don't know what you use to produce, but some of the live performance shows I've been to have been insane; best of luck to you later on sir, sounds like you're off to a great start! |
ZilbelPing
05.22.13 | One of my friends DJs all the time and his main complaint is people's requests. he fucking hates it. |
Acanthus
05.22.13 | Pretty simple to say "no" and not take them, or at least with the unreasonable ones. |
Jash
05.22.13 | It was mainly stupid drunk bitches telling me I was ruining the party or to play something faster and/or less scary, but I was there to do my thing and I had a blast doing it regardless of how many people were getting down with it |

05.22.13 | Hahaha yes Dev, someone showed me that page a little while ago, so good |
Rev
05.22.13 | people complaining/wanting shitty requests is why I hate DJing college parties =_= |
Rev
05.22.13 | good to hear you're starting up though!
def wanna go to a Jash party and get crunk with Adrian haha |
Acanthus
05.22.13 | It's a college party though, requests are part of college/frat/sorority parties. |

05.22.13 | First rule: don't DJ to the people who don't want to hear the kind of stuff you're going to be playing. I mean, you can always win over a floor but knowing that you're walking into an atmosphere that's going to get off on the tunes you'll be spinning is kinda mandatory |
Acanthus
05.22.13 | Yeah, being picky with gigs isn't to be frowned on; only playing music you love is the way to go. |
Rev
05.22.13 | "It's a college party though, requests are part of college/frat/sorority parties."
not those kinds of parties, like kickbacks at my friends' houses and mainly chill shit where the downtempo and laid back stuff I play fits well and people dig it, but there's always that chick that wants me to play Kesha |
Acanthus
05.22.13 | Ahhh gotcha, house parties here are rather limited; I want my own PA so I can throw them but need to pay off my new mixer first. |
Jash
05.22.13 | Dev this was an award show my friends and I hold every year to recognize each other for what we do best, I knew some people weren't going to get down with it but I got asked to play because my friends who put on the event love my music and DJ'ing, I'm not stupid enough to accept a gig at a top 40 club when I have no intent of playing what the people expect. And yeah guys this isn't just a college party, it's a legit formal award show with live acts, a catered dinner and award ceremony. We've taken the word party to a whole new level |
Acanthus
05.22.13 | Sounds like a good paying gig then. |
Jash
05.22.13 | There was atleast a couple hundred people there |
Jash
05.22.13 | Nah man I played for free, the whole thing is paid for out of our pockets, we do it to give back to our friends and give everyone the time of their life |

That was a response to the complaints of getting requests at college parties etc |
Rev
05.22.13 | 350 people? jesus how many friends do you have? |
Acanthus
05.22.13 | Ah ok then, misread and thought that someone else threw it! |
Aids
05.22.13 | yeah the party was everything I'd heard it was (last year) and more. Pod of Orcas, remember the fucking name.
Josh's set was ace. Over my Head, Lie Detection and Badman (VIP I think/figure) were a few of the tunes that my drunk/stoned/attempting-to-socialize brain could remember at 2AM. The girl I was chatting up said "this DJ sucks" but she sends me shit worse than BrokeNCYDE on facebook so I wouldn't worry too much about it Josh. Sorry I wasn't more coherent and into it but I definitely enjoyed it. I was attempting to get with 3 different girls at the time. I failed (obviously), but I got one on the hook I think. Success!
Anyway, yeah, fucking amazing party. over 300 people, a full day line up of bands and DJs (it was like a festival!!), a share bar (bring a bottle of booze=drink for free all night), great food, super funny and inspiring ceremony. Just great times with great people. Great fucking people, seriously, how cool is it that they spend their own money to throw this event every year?
Already counting the days til Stelly's2014, maybe I'll have some of my music to play too by then... |
Jash
05.22.13 | Rev people literally came from miles away for this party, it's a big deal. Aids I hope we have a band by next years Stelly's that we can play in, DJ'ing is super fun and all but I wanna bring out that beautiful Jazzmaster of mine and jam some fuckin Saetia |
tommygun
05.22.13 | congrats man
having a giggle at that tumblr sweet link dev |
Aids
05.22.13 | and plus you have to stay sober pretty late if you want to DJ (in theory) but if we played in a band we'd be good to go by 7. If we don't have a real band by next year, let's just borrow a drum pad and write some cheesy electropop in the style of POO.
@everyone but josh: yeah that's right, poo. |
Jash
05.22.13 | In theory is right, I was pretty drunk/snorted M before my DJ set hahahaha
Highlight of the night was the poo chant, so good "POO POO POO POO" |

05.26.13 | Damn, that sounds so awesome. |
Tyrael
05.26.13 | Sounds awful
glad to hear you guys had fun! :] |
Jash
05.26.13 | If you guys can make it out to Canada next year you've got an invite |
clercqie
05.28.13 | Haha, that would be swell. I'd love to go to Vancouver someday. |
