NYCILXers: Paul (scifisoul@hotmail.com) DJ night Saturdays at Orchard Bar

Geeta's posted a photo of your DJ in action at: www.theoriginalsoundtrack.com

are you doing anything on the fridays between the 31st and the 8th january paul? if so i'm in town and would love to put a face to the name (in person at any rate). if not i shall be kicking myself as this sounds great fun.
dave

hope so - would be great to meet you

check your email where I alert you about M.I.A. getting good response there - though if any sunshawas get played it will be Buzzard or Les Crees style!

oops - left out Soca (have to remedy that)

Yay Paul! Good luck tonight! Would come if I could--but the commute from Virginia is a bit tough.

thanks Mary!

just heard back from the owner
they have 2 Fridays prebooked in December so new schedule as follows:

Friday____Nov 26th
Saturday__Dec 4th
Saturday__Dec 11th
Saturday__Dec 18th
(skips - Christmas Day though the bar will be open that Saturday)
Friday____Dec 31st (NEW YEARS)

so it's on Saturdays now and Simon's been too kind in posting positive write-up on his blog:
http://blissout.blogspot.com/

I hope to reach all NYC ILMers with eflyer, but here's the info anyway:

Sci-Fi Soul & Brooklyn Garage present:
Wild FleX

SATURDAYS 10pm - 3:30am
FREE admission

ORCHARD BAR
200 Orchard Street between Houston and Stanton, NYC
(F Train to 2nd Ave or Delancey St)
1-212-673-5350

DJs: me + guests

bubblecrunk, grime, ragga, favela funk, 2step, neukÖln, soca, ardkore jungle, lover's rock + 

keeping it on the pop fun party side - expect lots of dance classics mixed with new stuff
and it's a New York night where you can hear much of the dance music we gab about on ILM.

I'd love your support!

you have mine! i just wish i could be there. SAD FACE NOW.

tracks that got the best response on Geeta's birthday:
Annie - "Chewing Gum"
M.I.A. - "Galang" (via iPod! ...finally got the vinyl now)
any bass/crunk: Lil Jon, Usher, Poison Clan, GhostTown DJs
Sweet Female Attitude (SFA) - "Flowers" (I'd forgotten its instant charm - everyone can't have known it!)

(thanks Steve! it's strongly inspired by the pop/dance love of ILXers like you)

biggup JaXoN, coiner of bubblecrunk!

from that little review, this sounds wicked. really super looking fwd to it now and will drop you an email to firm up plans a little.

in a way it's an ideal place for ILX people cos we like chatting
and there's both a quieter area (with seats & bar) and a louder dance room
so you can hear the music both places and get your chat & dance on just by walking 25 feet

plus there's some intangible mystery about the bar - it's been the final stop on many a barhop

Simon's right about the soundsystem - I slagged it off the first time
but last week got the hang of it - and while not exactly a sub-bass stack, delivers MEGAsound anyway

i like the dilapidated dry aquarium embedded in the wall. nice and sterile.

there's actually fish living in one of them!

and some salamaders/newts in another

(oi! what happened to the rest of this thread?)

You on this Saturday then? I'll stop by.

Ha ha Paul I had completely forgotten about "Botz"!

I just put it on again and I still love it though! Which one did you play though? The one I heard at the rave was "(Organik)" I think, not "(Elektro)" as I mistakenly listed on my blog (verging on five years ago now, and six since the rave!). "(Synthetik)" is great also - the drum programming alone.

your note on "Botz" reminded me exactly of my own experience - where at first (on the CD E.P.) it sounded like the best thing ever
(the most ear-scouring mix, always have to play it to remember name),
but then couldn't get that feeling again when I found the 12". it does work great in a mix though!

"My Planet" is another breaks track I loved, off the Simply Jeff mix CD, but it took me at least 6 years (!) to find the vinyl. when I played it on New Year's it had mixed reaction (danced continued, but with that "do I like this?" thinning look) and the start of the pleas to "play some old school hip hop again". must have been those trancey builds before the bass returns!

at the end of it was an allstar dance party, i can tell you that much

************************************************************************************************
XXX CANCELLED * CANCELLED * CANCELLED * CANCELLED * CANCELLED XXX
************************************************************************************************

sorry everyone - I've had to cancel the Wild FleX night at Orchard Bar

...for several reasons, too involved to go into here,
but the main one is disrespect and lack of support from bar management

I'd prefer if no one holds a grudge against the bar itself, still a sentimental favourite of mine -
and their talented Thursday night DJ Henry runs a fun party

overall, Wild FleX was a bigger success than I could have even expected -
THANKS EVERYONE who participated and supported the night!
and thanks especially to Geeta for helping get me back into this racket

my best times were when the dancers (& listeners) were well into it
and we put over some wild mixes and tracks, tell ya!
anyone who was there KNOWS

ha, I was just getting warmed up!
regret not being able now to feature more DJ talent and range
but Wild FleX and your DJ are not done - we'll be back soon, here, there EVERYWHERE!

keep it raw for 2005 and check for me at guest spot and tings

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

:(

ohhh, i was actually going to head there tonight.

serious, I'll be back soon at some guest spots

aw man, we were in the area tonight and considering stopping by, but we weren't sure whether this was still going on or not.

Paul just from your setlists you were/are the greatest dj evah. What's yr fee for Australian house parties?

coming from you Tim, I take that as ultimate praise!

funny image now of myself as future jetset house party DJ (the rider would have to be rental of HUGE BASS BINS)

Damn. Hope you find a more accomodating venue.

we're back! one-off at new venue!
