[Glue Reed]

Damn, looks big! There's no dubstep DJs in my area and it's really on the tear-out bro sound that makes it around here. One day, I'll buy some decks and try to learn!

[topmo3]

^ that tracklist looks big! how did the crowd react? well done man

[_boring]

went down well tbh! boh!!!!

[TheTornado]

Just thought I'd post it here - new night I'm trying in Chicago. For those unaware, Smart Bar is in a basement, barely any lights or lasers, Funktion 1 sound system and a SICK booth. If you're in the area on on the first Thursday of the month, come through! Trying to get some bigger names to come out in the coming months.

sick man, brad brought me out to chi to play his lil night a few months back and i checked out smartbar finally for africa hitech. weird night but sickkkkk fucking venue!

[TheTornado]

Yeah, I remember that night - wanted to catch you but couldn't

SB is wicked, yes indeed!

[Sonika]

Anyone know much about the PacNW scene? Specifically Portland, OR, but anywhere in that vicinity is cool. I'd really like to break into the scene here, but I'm not sure where to start.

[Today]

aren't u like 13yo. its not gonna be easy
no disrespect, jus sayin

[Sonika]

Yeah I know, but I can always try. I mean Skream and Benga were going to FWD at age 13 (it's obviously not the same situation but just saying it is possible).

[Today]

that was a different time
we can hope young people like yourself get to be hanging around a historic venue in its infancy at the cusp of a bubbling new underground music movement

hope hope hope

[Sonika]

Yeah I am very aware of the fact that it was a different time and place. I'm just always on the lookout for clubs that play that type of music and have underage nights, as well as record stores, labels, artists, events etc etc etc

[TheTornado]

hope hope hope

This made me LOL... so snarky

[Today]

unintentional snark
i hope with the upmost sincerity
