DISTRIKT BAR

Half of those DJ's I can see at Distrikt or any other Leeds bar for free.

Etienne de Crecy, not bad but only playing an hour?

Paul Woolford, mainstream tripe.

DD was far better when it was at Northern Light. Maybe it's because you're now at the Academy, but it looks like you've lost your imagination.

HANDBAGS!

and i'll be completely honest OBVIOUSLY DD was far better at NL, there will never be another place like it and if i had a quid for everytime someone said how much they loved DD at the northern light i'd be a rich man, and i wish i could bring it back but the place is nothing like it used to be inside and its surrounded by flats.......this gig is a one off at the academy, mainly cos theres no other venue in Leeds to fit that show on a stage, Etiennes show is a live show that lasts an hour, personally i like Wooly a lot, you may not, so thats fair enough, theres a million house and techno nights in Leeds now, and to be honest a lot of them are half empty as all the clubbers have been so spread out in events over the month so picking Wooly as a support was to help make this event pull a crowd in, which fair enough you might find unimaginative, but then over the last 3 months we brought Moodymann and Dyed Soundorom for there first gigs in Leeds, obvioulsy Derrick Carter, Plumps, Mathew Jonson and Lee Van Dowski, i might have lost my hair but i aint lost the plot yet.

and as for our residents, there our residents!!?? course you can see them round Leeds, like every other resident from every other night in Leeds, its a bit of a silly statement,.. thats kind of how it works init?? i think there sets at Distrikt will be slightly different to tomorrow night, its a complete different crack

i guess foz asked for it spamming like but i think you should be nicer to foz mark, as i for one think the board would be a better place with him on it.

Sorry, I'll go back to Faith bashing. It would seem that is acceptable

mate faith are a rotten bunch and something many of us have a common experience of.

all i know about Dirty Disco is tim praises it a lot to me and it's a night in leeds. no disrespect but hardly a national issue. I hope foz will stay.


i think it's more gracious for all parties to avoid the slightly common activity of forums which is to argue


let's drink a goblet of mead to peace in the kingdom of leeds

Come off it, hardly handbags.

Point taken on Etienne De Crecy.

I still say Woolford is a poor booking. It's only just over a month since he last played in Leeds.

The problem with having ressies playing DD and every other bar/versus night in Leeds is you can very quickly reach saturation. It's great to support local talent but it can also get tiring hearing the same DJ's bashing it out everywhere you go.

I would prefer to call it healthy debate, but if it's not wanted, I'll cease and desist.

I'm more of a Chloe girl

I respect DD's commitment to their residents. It's a thing that is to be praised.

*salutes*

I never questioned it. I'm all up for a club that sticks by their residents. Basics is probably one of the best examples of this and one of the reasons they've lasted so long.

I think it is ok to have a debate but perhaps not direct to the person on a public forum.

Just being a bit old fashioned.

I mean, the internet is all about anonymous bashing when people's backs are turned isn't it?

Fair do's.

P.S. If anyone would like to direct any criticsim towards myself in public, feel free. It's the masochist in me

I can't honestly say booking them once in a full moon and paying them in peanuts and magic beans could be called a 'commitment'



I would say however that I would raise a glass to the residents themselves for putting up with it and their commitment cannot be faulted.

i've had some ace nights at dd

and to book wooly twice in two months is hardly a sin

considering he used to be resident at basics, where he would of played at least one a month, and no-one would bat an eye-lid at that

I get this comment, I was talking more historically.

Let's end this debate here then.

DD was and is the bollocks.

Paul Woolford can play Leeds twice in a month without issue.

I'm a gobby shit.

Much Love.

P.S. Please stay Foz. I promise to be nice.

Come on mate, the handbags was a joke, i'm a bigger boy than that.

Do you actually trawl all the bars of Leeds all week that much and hear these DJs so much your that sick of hearing them?

You can leave it now Foz he very manfully printed a full retraction.

I love you, what you doing valentines day?

It was hardly an argument people!........ you can say what you want! freedom of speech and all that? If you don't hear about what people don't like about your night you can't make it better can you

Very diplomatic Foz. Nice.

Personally Foz, I'm gutted to be missing tomorrow night. I think it is going to go down a storm. Proper carnage an all. Ettienne De Crecy looks shit hot in there video. I'm pretty sure I would be tripping my bollocks of to that shit. Paul Woolford smashed it after Jeff Mills. Was well good to see him in Leeds again. Matt Cooper always plays a solid set. All in all I reckon it will take a few days after this party for the news to reach me on how good it was. I wish you all the best .

Whatever TB tells us to do. It's her night, after all!

I'll be there to say bye to Leeds...if anyone else is there come wave at me (or gurn, whichever is easiest!)

more tearful farewells than Bambi this one

Oh I don't think I can take any more of this regional excitement. It's like watching an omnibus of Calendar

I liked it more when it was quiet and we grumbled lightly about Gardening...
