What is this about?

I started this blog because I wanted to give something back to the constantly growing and passionate electronic/indie music scene in Victoria, B.C. Here you'll find local artist & show information, pictures, music, clothing, art and anything related to our scene in Victoria or Vancouver...

I survived and I'm alive...

Okay so where do I begin, Topo's.. All my close friends were there and the food was amazing.. They didn't arrange the seating properly so it was kinda impersonal with the amount of people that were there. I think maybe it wasn't the right atmosphere for a big birthday gathering, definitely for a more intimate dinner. None the less, the food, always important to me, was amazing so I definitely recommend the place.. Onto pre drinking!
I can't remember where we went for pre drinks, maybe Whitebird.. but Bassnectar was, (like I said before) unbelievable. Sugar was packed.. I'm pretty sure that was the best that I've seen him play, lots of new tunes for sure and alot of slamming new remixes.. After the Nectar, a bunch of us went back to Justin's, like I predicted and drank until.. probably around 5 or so.. There's a link to the pictures I took at Bassnectar at the bottom of the post..

Saturday. Didn't do anything all day, just relaxed, slept, maybe downloaded some music and prepared myself for the night (and crazy Sunday) to come..
November Rain was amazing.. Everything worked out really well and by that I mean, well for one it didn't rain :) It was outdoors at Skutz Falls in Cowichan River Park and it was clear skies all night long.. The heated tents were extremely effective; if you were under the tents, you'd be warm (within reason).. Everyone played their best. I had SO MUCH FUN spinning. Matt What slayed it with a sick mix of glitchy electro and old school breaks. Mykee played one of the sickest speed garage sets I've ever heard. Cale (Gumbootz) played a rockin set. I was SO impressed with Ryan, he played a flawless, driving electro set and he was loving every minute of it.. Myself, Jenny, Ryan, Leila, Justin & Chantel came to the party with some skepticism and we left completely satisfied.. Link to the rest of the pictures from November Rain is at the bottom of the post..

Sunday. A bunch of us went back to Ryan's house and just demolished ourselves all day. I haven't been that drunk in a very, very, very long time..

So that's pretty much it.. I just worked from 7-3 and I've been eating fruit pretty much all day.. Below are a couple tracks for personal enjoyment.. Again, if you like the tracks you hear, go support the artist ;) A HUGE thanks to all my friends for making my weekend a memorable one.. Thank you to all the people that posted Happy Birthday to me on my facebook wall and on Rave Victoria, you're all awesome!

The Ed Banger boys always play this one out and it's one of my favorites. It sounds like you're actually partying INSIDE a disco ball with all of your friends..
