REVIEW FOR NO TRIX and our NEXT ALL DNB SHOW.

This will be a short review and thank you shout outs.  1st ill say it was 1/2 my show so i may be partial to the event but ill be as honest as i can.  The set ups were both BANGING! the log2 sound is a given to rock a party right and i dont know why more people dont use them.. aside from being the 2nd biggest expense in the show... its worth it and i can tell it is by the looks and smiles on the ravers faces when they seen the bass bins ready to rock.  Big thanks to M1D1 for setting it all up, He is the guy that is in charge of our stage decor, ideas get bounced around and he attempts to execute it with in budget. Over all id give the show a 8, big up to three jay and his crew, big ups to adam, nelson, justin, tak, oscar, and every one else for helping make this show possible.  The crowd was just enough to make the party fun who ever missed it really missed a good production, Im pretty sure the 20 dollar cover was a factor.. on a side note, I am never going to do a 20 dollar show again.. im going to do 10-15 dollar shows only, yes the line up might suffer or not be as good if we charged 20 but i dont want to my show to cost as much as a pill for a gram of good weed.... i know how rare it is for people to spend 20 bucks on enjoyment... lol.. any way at this point we are still in the education process and teaching the crowds the power a good dj has over the room and the value of that is higher than we can charge atm.  Our next show is December 17 and its called PLANET BASS.  Im resurrecting the event in the name of DRUM N BASS, PLANET BASS was the 1st big show i was ever involved with and i feel its time to bring it back with the sound that properly represents the name of the planet we all visit on the weekends.


line up is just about done.
