Bleep43, Corsica Studios, Dec 5th, Surgeon/DJ Pete/Scorn

[El Jefe]

Are you coming to this? Can you cover my ears if there's disco?

Yes, and yes

 

[Blagsta]

It'll be a bit different to what Surgeon normally does because he's playing throughout the night, and as such will have a different approach.

He does play the odd disco record like "Doctor Love" on the rare occasion, but hey, go and have a fag outside or something. I can assure you discophobes that he won't turn into David Mancuso.

Surgeon is on at 10 btw, so arrive early.

I've heard Surgeon drop I Feel Love and Boogie Wonderland in the past.

 

[Onket]

I wouldn't mind hearing I Feel Love at all, actually.

best disco song ever?

 

[rutabowa]

i;d like to hear him play "Love Is The Drug", is he doing requests? actually don't worry, i'll just ask him once i get pissed.

 

[Orang Utan]

I wouldn't do that if I were you!

 

[rutabowa]

honestly it'll be fine.

 

[Onket]

I don't know, I don't like disco.

So can I interest people in a drink beforehand at The Ship: http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/35/3570/Ship/Borough?

Not been there since Unsound used to be in the area but used to be a good pub. Say from 9.00?

 

[perplexis]

So, after all my whingeing twattery, I am not going to be able to make it
Have fun everyone.

[RubyToogood]

I might come though. Do you think I'm a good substitute?

 

[rutabowa]

i can't come because i feel very ill

 

[Orang Utan]

For sure!

Good plan see you in there.

This is nothing short of a disgrace.

 

[sam/phallocrat]

is surgeon getting paid £600/hour, out of interest like?

 

[Orang Utan]

I doubt it

 

[chico enrico]

is surgeon getting paid £600/hour, out of interest like?

well, i'd imagine any DJ of his status would get around that.

 

[sam/phallocrat]

hmm, differing opinions

 

[Orang Utan]

If he's playing all night, 10-7, £600 an hour would make it impossible to put the night on!

 

[chico enrico]

If he's playing all night, 10-7, £600 an hour would make it impossible to put the night on!

well, i'd imagine his basic rate is in the region of £600 and maybe £250 or there-abouts for every hour after that. believe me, £600 is pretty average (in fact pretty damn cheap) for a dj of his status. then again, he's a nice guy and into being able to play good music to a receptive crowd so maybe he lowers his rate when it's something he's into. depends on his agent really and how flexible they are as they're probably on a 20% cut of his earnings.

That's more like it - not £600 an hour!

if he's playing that long i expect he's into it so i imagine he's charging a token and highly reduced rate. 9 hours is quite a stretch though. Longest sets i've ever played were 6 hours and while it's a good laugh by the end of it you are well drained.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

that was mega

 

[dynamicbaddog]

that was mega

yes, it was rather good was'nt it

 

[El Jefe]

How was Scorn?

 

[Orang Utan]

How was Scorn?

Fucking awesome - very slow clattering rhythms and heaviest of bass - sounded wicked on that sound system. Mick seemed to be loving it too, which surprised me - thought he'd be moody and po-faced.
Surgeon & Pete were outstanding - his first (2 hour) set was just loads of NWW/Coil with Scott Walker thrown in - you'd have loved it.

wasn't it beautiful ? let's get rid of beats and hihats, it made the super sexy techno later all the better for it. Actually loved the dubstep DJ Pete played after Scorn better, my only niggle, I think that rig actually sounds too good
