21/10/10 MinimalWave301 - Das Ding LIVE & Veronica Vasicka - Amsterdam (Page 4 of 4)

das ding was cool!  didnt know too much by them before and really enjoyed their gig.
have to admit i didnt really pay much attention to the dj before das ding, but enjoyed veronicas set. although i have to say that, yes, i also expected sth else, some more "minimal wave" stuff plus the mixing was far from good.
honestly i never got why people think a dj shouldnt just play his/ her stuff but should give the crowd sth easy to follow. i would think people come to a minimal wave night to be exposed to some minimal wave and not to sth else. if one wants to teach the crowd about "good music", why not teach >>your<< kind of music? i, at least, was keen on listening to minimal wave (or minimal synth or however you wanna name it) that night and it kinda disappointed me, too, that there was so little of it in her set.
nevertheless, it was of course up to her what she felt like playing and i really enjoyed what she played.

btw, i still have one spare copy of this 7".  it was 10 euro, so i would also give it for 10 euro plus the shipping. if anyone wants it.. let me know..

I was and guess still am disappointed with the extremely low turnout of people from the Netherlands that say they are interested in this music the week before at Nullzeit. We started this event because we thought / hoped there is regional interest for this kind of music but i'm not so sure anymore.

come on man, that takes time. you've only done a few.. ''de aanhouder wint..''  and i know for example for people from amsterdam (or actually outside r'dam) its a pain to get back home from worm if you dont have a car. same probably goes for parties in the OT or occi here..
there can be 1000 reasons why parties get many visitors, or none at all. a lot of times the music that you program doesn't have much to do with it..
but otoh i would think worm would get some visitors, as there is almost nothing else left in rotterdam with watt and waterfront closed..
