Shuffla was relieved to leave the Oxford scene for a bit . .

[Cool Spot]

can kind of understand why

We have some wicked nights but it's just more the tension between all the promoters etc

anything from going over peole's flyers to not booking certain people etc etc

resentment , bitterness , frustration , spitefulness , confusion . . .

the list goes on

Think it's here to stay as well.

[Manikular]

well i try and link all the promoters and i feel i'm on ok terms with everyone... try not to book the same names, try not to go over peoples flyers..

you will always get people with issues though, which is a shame becuase oxford can be bigger than the sum of all its parts if we all got on and worked together.

i'm up for it deffo.. with HQ we never try to step on people's toes... we do not keep our line ups secret until the last minute and if we ever do have any issues we will try and sort them out with peeps...

to be honest drum&bass is a love of mine but its not my life, i'll always try and promote the local scene and who i think are the stars of the future, oh by the way i don't think i'm anything good at all, so don't think i'm elitist becuase i'm not at all.

heres to a better 2004 yeay!

[mayhem danger]

yeah I'm feelin that

[Mikee Merge n C]

It's all gone a bit overground hasn't it?

[Jibba]

It's all gone a bit overground hasn't it?

Pulp Fiction on BBC, DNBA album adverts as regular as clockwork, Robocop getting rinsed on radio 1.

Its a worldwide thang baby.

[streaker]

WE NEED TO TRY AND GET SOME NEW TALENT COMING THROUGH TOO GIVE IT SOMETHING DIFFERENT:(

I'm not promoting anything of my own for these very reasons.

Oxford is a village.

Even though friends of mine behave like babies I still laugh at this place.

Kids...

[Cool Spot]

so you laugh at the oxford scene ??

[Mikee Merge n C]

Yes.

[Jibba]

Yeah you're right Mikee Oxford is a village....or like an episode of Eastenders where everyone knows everyone.

This has its plus points and flaws.

[Cool Spot]

So you want to be in on everyone's night by getting on the mic and decks etc yet you can say you laugh at the whole scene

:rolleyes:

I'm not just think you're insulting everyone who's in oxford trying their best

[ceedee]

I reckon that every promotor - and I mean EVERY ONE - should get together and put on one massive regular monthly night instead of their own. Think of the benefits:

- more pooled finances to book several big names at a time
- more people would come because they were "starved" of events = more ticket sales
- no flyering over other people's flyers (there wouldn't be any)

Can you think of something similar to Innovation in Oxford? It's doable if people WORK TOGETHER.

So why don't you? Imagine how good that would be, and you could then play alongside the likes of huge names in DnB, rake in loadsa cash, everyone's a winner.

[Manikular]

good idea chris but it is flawed becuase

1) too many dj's / mc's to go around
2) people play different styles.

hahaha nice shot ;]

[ceedee]

true but once the crowds were pulled and the name of the night was associated with wicked nights and really good sets, then there'd be more space for the good local DJs to do sets to loads more people than they do at the moment.

[Manikular]

but remember that many of the oxford nights already have their own identity and if you want to hear a particular sound you know where to go to..

[vyper]

Oxford will always be like this, unless peeps sort there issue's out! There shouldn't be this rivarly that seems to go on, it's pathetic, really...we all want the same...ie A FUCKING HEAVY PARTY!!!!!! There's enough nites going on to cater for every junglist/junglette, shame there's peeps that seem to be negative against everyone else apart form thereselves...I got some words for them peeps GROW UP!!!!!!

[ceedee]

well said mate :)

fucking pathetic i tell ye, boh selectah!

[Manikular]

hey at least i try and put everyones dates up so that no one gets annoyed and stressed etc...

oh by the way

So do you honestly think Brillo would work with all the other promoters in Oxford AND take their ideas into account ??

he already does work with many of oxford's promoters...

im fucking sick to death of all this hear say about brillo.

you don't really know him so don't jump to conclusions!

[Cool Spot]

I do not know him but can almost guarantee for example that he would not work with Reload etc so just thought your statement about getting EVERYONE together was a bit false as it will never work.

Yes obviously some promoters wrk together and it does help but no way is everyone gonna work together

I'm insulting everyone?!
Well, if I do they must be scared of me cos they never say anything.

Now... You know I'm not a scary guy. I'm a quite crazy guy sure, but I ain't the sort of person who leaves people with trails of arse piss.

I'm sure they'll say if they disagree!

Just because I can laugh at the state of something doesn't mean I won't try to do something about it!

I laugh at the state of young peoples attitudes here in Blackbird Leys - but I also try to fix them up by giving them support.

You hurt my feelings Cool Spot. You are the insult! :):badteeth:

[Mikee Merge n C]

Nice of you to visit Shuffs!
