no, that's this tomorrow night at Mighty Robot!(cough, cough)

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

answer: whatever vice magazine tells them to

― jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

whatever it is, they're probably having a better time than I am anticipating the answers on this thread.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

The LA kids from the other thread were way cuter.

― anode (anode), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

these peeps dont look like kids either. look like 30 year olds..

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

so cynical jody!

I posted these pictures half-jokingly because it's a funny comparison to the LA photos thread, but the people who threw this party are actually pretty amazing DJs, music-taste wise, and I'd say it's the other way around. i.e., these are among the people that vice mine for ideas...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

if these are the people i'm supposed to be looking up to, i'm gonna kill myself right now.

that said, if they're having fun, i'm glad.

― jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Probably stuff that was recorded well before they were born that they're quick to display enthusiasm over, despite the fact that they don't really listen to it when they're alone.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Those retards behind the turntables look like A-1 douchebags.

― angel duster, Friday, 20 February 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex in NYC is SO FUCKING OTM

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

anyone who wants to hear what those douchebags behind the turntables may be playing are more then welcome to send a CD-r and a SASE to me and I will send you one of their mixes.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Judging by the lack of style and/or taste, I'm guessing something like The Rapture.

― JesusMaryChain, Friday, 20 February 2004 00:52 (twenty-two years ago)

some hyphenated genre.

― marcg (marcg), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:54 (twenty-two years ago)

relax, selzer! lol. wtf, are you one of those dudes?

― angel duster, Friday, 20 February 2004 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I wouldn't be suprised if the Rapture was one of the few contemporary records played.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

those chix look like they were rode hard and put away damp

― angel duster, Friday, 20 February 2004 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't make it out that night because I was DJing somewhere else. I just find the animosity funny. If I didn't know any of them or what they were playing, I'm sure I'd be talking trash too(see the LA thread...) but since I do know, I feel they're worth defending. Retards? Douchebags? That just a bit harsh is all...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:00 (twenty-two years ago)

metro area???

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:04 (twenty-two years ago)

oops i should've read the thread first.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

im sure these peers/friends of yours love the fact that you are posting their pictures to the ILM community. kudos to you, dj dan selzer!

p.s. there is not ONE attractive person in that lot. disgusting!

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:06 (twenty-two years ago)

one of the DJs, Porkchop, was the first guest at Metro Area's weekly party at APT, Party Out of Bounds, so that's likely as well.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:06 (twenty-two years ago)

wow cutty, that's 2 threads today where you've made a point of how upset you are about the existance of "dj dan selzer", what exactly is your problem? I posted the pictures because they're funny and it looks like a great party and while I'm sure there are parties like this in LA, and there are parties like the LA thread photos in NY, it makes for a shallow yet interesting comparison btw LA and NYC nightlife.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

don't get yr panties in a twist, selzer. you posted the goddamn ridiculous thing.

― angel duster, Friday, 20 February 2004 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Jesus, ilm, anyone would think you're a bunch of bitter, fat old men who sit around writing about music and never have any fun!

― Jacob (Jacob), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

my brooklyn/nyc nightlife looks NOTHING like that. those people are far too "interesting" for me.

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:13 (twenty-two years ago)

hey dan - what does darshan play when he djs in NY? i went to see him dj here at an awful deep house night (the slickest, lamest downtown meatmarket ever, complete with business cards at the door for corporate event hosting) put on by siesta records.

i was expecting at least some morgan geist in the mix but he spun a really underwhelming set of recent deep house, mid-80s disco and a few token electro tracks like "clear" and "scorpio". is this the sort of stuff he spins nowadays? how about geist?

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

hey cutty, I'd love to check out your brooklyn/nyc nightlife. I'm always interested in hearing different things and experiencing different types of parties and events! "Interesting" or not, I'm always looking for good music and good nightlife in general. Please let me know about it!

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

also i'm surprised at some of the reactions on this thread. you'd think there was something WRONG with dressing up like an idiot and thinking it was cool and fun. it reminds me of the abuse people heap on candy-ravers. i for one LIKE IT when people show up to clubs in OTT costumery. it's one of those things that makes going out fun!

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:19 (twenty-two years ago)

anyway, when I've seen dar, he tends to play what the party's about, and I've also heard him play really smooth deep house type sets that, while great at what they are, don't interest me so much. But I've also seen him go off on insane late 80s/early 90s sorta acid type stuff, hard stuff. I think Morgan brings out more interesting sides to him. Together the main focus is often early 80s electronic disco/boogie type stuff, and stuff like D-Train. Morgan will often go off on amazing tangents of the sort or 89-95 techno and be really amazing. Lots of italo-disco, some new wave club classics types stuff(he played Owner of a Lonely Heart last I heard him) It's pretty eclectic though, enough obscurities to please to trainspotters and enough hits to work the party, usually.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:21 (twenty-two years ago)

insane late 80s/early 90s sorta acid type stuff, hard stuff

yeah i'd love to see morgan geist play just to see what he was thinking when he made stuff like "quadrilocular". early environ is so mad and out there and bumpy ("crash tracks") that i have a hard time hearing it work in a techno set. but i have the sense that geist purpose-built those tracks - any tracky geist dj sets floating around that you know about??

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the two indian dudes were the coolest people at the party.

― Former Supposed So Called Nihilist Teenage Drug Disco Addiction Counselor (mjt), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know of any geist DJ sets online or recorded otherwise. Just the other day I was playing those early records for someone...they are so fast!

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

i for one LIKE IT when people show up to clubs in OTT costumery. it's one of those things that makes going out fun!

I totally agree, but I hate hate hate the way these kids do it.

― anode (anode), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

dude, those were hipsters dressed as hindus.

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:34 (twenty-two years ago)

No, they're dressed as Sikhs. They're still idiots for it, though.

― angel duster, Friday, 20 February 2004 01:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm actually suprised none of the hasids were there as well...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Sikh and destroy: this party.

They deserve a projection screen of PhotoCD slideshow of a bunch of cramp-faced people sitting on shriveled legs, caption reading: "What do you think these Internet assholes are bitching about?"

― Ian Christe (Ian Christe), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Those poor cats.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 20 February 2004 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

vahid OTM.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Friday, 20 February 2004 02:58 (twenty-two years ago)

oh god, I can't jerk off to any of these pics, my night is ruined

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Friday, 20 February 2004 03:39 (twenty-two years ago)

being a DJ is so 2003 and Sooo!!! Greenpoint.

― ddb (mcutt), Friday, 20 February 2004 04:05 (twenty-two years ago)

2003?! wtf! try 1998, dude!

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Friday, 20 February 2004 04:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Is the chick dancing in #37 a guy?

― The Second Drummer Drowned (Atila the Honeybun), Friday, 20 February 2004 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

#37 is a scene from the new david lynch flick.

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 20 February 2004 04:12 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a joke party at some dude's loft. Him and 12 friends. Yeah.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Friday, 20 February 2004 08:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway I say that "Where were you when the lights went out" got played at that party...

― Jacob (Jacob), Friday, 20 February 2004 08:18 (twenty-two years ago)

That Chicken Hut party was dope. STRICTLY: NO RECORDS AFTER 1983.
"Walk the Night" was def played. L train was out that weekend so the vice cocaine millionaires were stuck taking poloroids of their own hard stools. ruff

― Lord Interupt Rayman, Friday, 20 February 2004 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm gonna guess some shit like IMA Robot.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:14 (twenty-two years ago)

porkchop has turned me onto more music then any other DJ outside Morgan Geist. Walk the Night is a total P-chop classic, as is that track, I think it's Plastic Mode "Let's dance, let's groove, let's move on...ricky bombay was a victim too, tried to act like it was cool, all the romans and the greeks they never die, but they're living in the fireline...all night long, ba-ee-a, all night long..." so good.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

who gives a fuck.

― ddb, Friday, 20 February 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish there was a picture of that like 13 year old kid who was just chillin in a doorway in a leather jacket. Who was he?

― Mitchell (Mitchell), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Also Dan, excellent work on sunday night. Sorry if my friend scard you when offering you a joint.

― Mitchell Wimbish (Mitchell), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

At least the LA kids looked like they were having fun. These kids all looks like the type of people who would come to your party without being invited, sulk in a corner and then steal some beers on the way out.

― dean! (deangulberry), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

this thread has many strange peaks and valleys. mostly valley's though.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I vaguely remember that...sunday was a bit of a blur of overstimulation(of the visual/auditory type)

Thanks though, that was a great deal of fun. It was probably the best DJ system I've ever had the chance to use, and people seemed to have a good time, and the promoters treated us right, and centro-fly leaves a mini-fridge filled with bottled water in the DJ booth. That was easily the coolest thing. We went through like 20 bottles.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

sub burma k:tty at best

― kephm, Friday, 20 February 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'd be too fat to go to this party.
