Advice on promoter/venue for event

Posted on
  • Next year is the 20th anniversary of the seminal Acid House/Trance track Hardtrance Acperience by Hardfloor, arguably one the greatest recorded uses of the Roland TB303

    I had a mad idea of trying to get as many people together with 303's to perform this track in a flash mob style at a festival (Glastonbury probably) to celebrate the 20th anniversary, but then figured it would be nigh on impossible to synch them on the fly, and would need a generator, and would sound awful.

    I've contacted these guys

    And they have said yes in principle to coming over and performing if I can arrange a venue and promotion. Was thinking Brixton Jamm, but not sure how many people it holds?

    I'm no promoter, just have a desire to see it done - anyone up for collaborating on it? Not interested in trying to make anything, other than covering expenses etc and cost of putting it on?

    So there you go, just the seeds of an idea just now - cheers EB I wait your esteemed opinions ;)

  • Tune!

    Maybe try throwing the idea at few promoters that do old skool rooms? Is raindance still going?

    otherwise it might be worth hitting up some of the classic london acid techno labels/promoters stayupforever/Pendragon et al? I know both of them do relatively regular stuff at Jamm

  • cheers - yeah am friends with the guy that does Raindance on Faceache, might see if he would be up for it good call

  • Eightball - we were thinking of getting them over.

    Let me see what i can do.

    XOYO would be a perfect venue.

  • Read recently that Monsta is playing a gig at Jamm soon, he might be useful to contact.

    Good idea 8ball.

  • Ooh nice. Ok, message me when you know more Dave

  • Oddly enough I'm playing that track whilst having the Wimbledon live coverage open on another tab, immersed in headphones. The players are warming-up, I can hear the umpire giving them the countdown, "3 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute...", the track is building simultaneously, sounds fucking ace.

  • I will come and dance like a dalek :) IN!

  • I should coco!
