I think this is pretty disturbing party. Very enigmatic stuff. Some of
these kids are playing live for the first time, and some of them might be

well, i know the promoter pretty well, and one of the reasons that he was
attempting an all live-pa event was because most of the guys on his label,
emp records, play out live all the time. he decided that there were prolly
a lot of up-and-coming producers that deserved a chance, and started working
on the concept of an all live pa event. different concept, could work - or
it couldn't.
What made the promoters of this turn it into candy rave massive? Are all

they're promoting this event just like they promote all of their other
events. "gotta catch 'em all" or "jiggly puff" didn't come to the lists'
attention because they were exactly that - candy raver parties. he wanted
to do something different and in a legal venue, hence st. andy's, esp
because of all of the gear that will be there. his production on the night
should be alright, and he does actually give a shit about the kids. adding
kevin and juan to the lineup was kinda an afterthought to the live concept,
to appeal to a broader and possibly older crowd that would like to see kevin
and juan, but not at a dirty illegal rave. to tell the truth, if it was at
an illegal venue i don't think he would have put kevin and juan on the bill,
but going into a legal venue cuts out part of the crowd and therefore he
needed to draw in a different segment of the crowd. as for juan showing up,
they had lunch yesterday and juan is paid up and has said that he has every
intention of being there. we'll see what happens with flights the day of,
though.
i'll swing through and check it out, i don't know if they're planning on
recording the sets.
