Hi,

I am a Psy dj from Canada who is moving to Birmingham in April.
I was directed to this site by Dj Roadkill in the hopes of finding promoter contacts,events and good psy clubs and people to meet and see.

I have been dj'ing 7 years and have recently sold all of my old hard trance and hard house records and switched over to psy completely.

I have been lucky enough to play at the Winter Music Conference (last year and this year) and with Infected Mushroom, Mer kal Bala, Maxx, Pied Piper Paul and the Designer Hippies since my transition over to Psy and they have made me fall in love with the Psycadelic scene.

I will have a live dbl disc demo from the Infected Mushroom show soon and would love to send it out to clubs and promoters before I get there.

Any links or websites that anyone could offer would be great please.

I look forward to experiencing the Psy scene over there, its fun here but pretty small.

Have a great day :shrooms:

Hello and welcome!

There isn't a lot happening in Birmingham I'm afraid. You'll find that majority of parties happen in London. There is one in Birmingham (Fri 16th Jan):

STEREO CHEMISTRY returns in the New Year with a Cyber-Tribal Psychedelic
Trance allnighter @ its new home of SUBWAY CITY, Water St, Birmingham.

Guest DJs:
Kristian (Transient Records/Chichime, London)
Tekno Hippie (Sunrise, Manchester)

+ the Stereo Chemists:
CosmoNaughty
Jon Kenobi
Will Dogon

Deco By: Chemistry Collective
Visuals By: Aztec (Aura Orange)

10pm - 6am
Entrance: GBP 7 on the Door

Info: djjonkenobi@hotmail.com

Maybe it'll be good for you to get involved up there to help boost the scene in that part of the country? You'll do good to get involved and help out with it, certainly. The northern parties often pinch folks from London for their line-ups. Occasionally some of the northern crew get to play down in London, but there's so many DJ's and others down in London that it doesn't happen often.

Perhap you could post some links to demos in the Media Production & Entertainment section of this forum?

Welcome Tristan. Birmingham hey. You'll find plenty of happy, smiley, fun loving people @ Stereo Chemistry, you'll miss the next one which is in March, but there'll be one just around the corner in May after your arival in April. Enjoy the forum m8, look forward to meeting you. :D
 
Thank you very much for everything and all the help.

I am looking forward to coming out there and meeting everyone,
I was just at the Infected Mushroom show here (about to do the 3 hour drive home for work now) and they were amazing, I have never heard a set like that in my life, they used minimal gear but devastated the club, it was unreal.


Have a great week everyone and thanks again.

See you sooner then later

Hi Tristan, and welcome!

What parties did you play at the WMC?

I was over there last year doing sound, (mostly Latin House :no: ) it's the most Hedonistic place I've ever seen.

There are some very good events promoted via this forum, (psy-project included.)
Its a really good place to make contacts in the UK.

Regards
Steve

BTW: If you thought IM was good, just wait till you hear some of the UK's underground live acts :punk: :punk:
 
I look forward to hearing the undeground sound if they compare to Infected Mushrooms set for sure. I enjoy new music and new artists/groups/djs or whoever plays it.

I was at Club Level last year for the Global Alliance Distribution Kick off event.

This year we are doing 4 days showcaseing our GAD djs and another major show at a new club that is opening the first night of the conference. here is the info if you are interested:

Latin house is all good to Steve, as long as people are dancing and having a good time is whats important. :partysmi:
Are you going to out there again this year?
If so mabey we can hook up and do some drinking.

take care

Tristan Newton
 
I never made it into Club level last year, we did 16 parties in 6 days, with an 8 man crew and 4 soundsystems.

We put systems in the Nation, Raliegh, and Riande hotels on Collins Ave
A couple of parties in the Opium Garden, a boat party hosted by naked pornstars and finally a three day beach party.

12 tons of equipment flown over from the UK, 10 days of hell moving speakers and amp racks around in 100% humidity at 115 degrees F. No more than 3 hours sleep per day, no wonder I lost almost 10Kg (20 lbs) while I was there.

As for the Latin House music, we did three album launch parties for masters At Work, plus several other parties with the same Dj's, We heard the same cheesy vocal samples and riff's everytime. Everyone showcasing their latest tunes, and desparate to show off the latest "exclusive" they had blagged at the conference.

Damn it was a good week B) :sun: :punk:

Maybe we will have that beer out there this year.

Hi Tristan.

I'm going to be in South Beach from march 4th flying home on the 12th - for Symbiosis ;)

We are doing 8 shows, tho as yet I don't know what ones, most likely all the Masters At Work, Jellybean and UC parties.
I think we're going to be based at the Riande Continental, on 18th and Collins, tho last year we ended moving to a Villa in Miami Beach (gave us some chance to sleep!!!)

Talamaska are playing on the 8th at "Studio" - conviniently located next door to the Riande, so no problems crawling home. :wacko:

Looking forward to that beer :drinking:

I agree with the underground scene, well I hav too because that seems to be the extent of our Psy scene here, not alot of people that come out by those who do are amazing and very much like a family.
I look forward to seeing the scene there and hope I can contribute the style of Psy that I play to it once in a while, Dark, fast and mean..........and lets not forget the good old movie quotes. :punk:

Have a fantastic weekend and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible while I am living there.
