squarepusher describe your dream electronic music party

[Fred McGriff]

last night i couldnt sleep so i made productive use of my time by hashing out plans in case i win the lottery. one of the first things i would do would be to put on an electronic-music party for watmm. i would arrange for some sort of smallish enclosed space inside a larger space. like a warehouse, but inside the warehouse are translucent walls bordering a space for about two or three hundred people. that way images can be projected on all walls throughout the course of the party (i would try to hire squee to do the lighting. but i would have specific requests that only he and i would know about. the whole party is actually a social experiement. the lighting from the beginning would reflect daytime, nature, and happiness, and progress and to a completely bad-trippish nightmare by the end of the party. the goal would be to get someone to cry). the bar would be in the back. colorado beer and kentucky bourbon will be free while everything else will cost double. i would pay for everyone's transport, food, and lodging though. there would be a balcony where i (and other ltm) would sit. of course there would be a stage where artists would be playing. the lineup would include a few hours of watmm amateurs (including myself, who would hire a jazz trio to play beak songs). and then we'd get to some really big guns, like squarepusher, and the orb, and meat beat manifesto. shit that would make people say "WTF is this 1996?" and then finally, unnannounced, aphex twin would come on and play some horrorcore while the venue is arranged to crumble like the way the place always crumbles apart at the end of an indiana jones movie. someone would be left crying. that's when i would descend from the ltm balcony and save them. i would take them back to my presidential suite and make sure they had neither want nor need. then i would grab a plush white robe from the closet and swaddle their skinny, vegan, sun-deprived body in it, and hold them in my arms. i can feel and count every single bone of the watmmer's body with my body as we rock. the stench of beer and whiskey is overwhelming on my breath, and serves as a mild sedative as the watmmer begins to calm down and take slower, deeper breaths. the watmmer then starts grabbing in the air, apparently for a keyboard and mouse, so i ask the watmmer's mom to go and make sure that these requests are taken care of. then the watmmer will log onto watmm and start typing things with a content look on its face, and i can finally get some fucking sleep.

 

this is how my dream electronic music party would happen based on my train of thought last night.

[Blir]

I'm so glad you're back Fred.

[Fred McGriff]

first class ticket plane ticket for you obel

Fred I would give you a giant manly bear hug at your party and then perform amateur chiropractic moves on you.

[Fred McGriff]

solve my posture

 

(that's my next album title btw)

[patternoverlap]

*re-aligns pelvis*

[Fred McGriff]

maybe a better way to get people to cry would be to hire BoC to play

[patternoverlap]

or flahblub

[essines]

there would be no electronic music, just me with a lot of money and sexy, naked ladies.

[marf]

lots of extacy. Do they still make extacy?

[mcbpete]

I think the cool kids call it 'Mandy' nowadays ....

[Guest Deep Fried Everything]

lovely, except maybe exchange orbital for the orb?

[Fred McGriff]

there would be no electronic music, just me with a lot of money and sexy, naked ladies.

 

this would be 1 hr of stage time for sure. how much do you think that would cost me?

 

and i have no problems adding orbital to the lineup. orb's gotta stay though.

[Guest Deep Fried Everything]

i have no problems adding orbital to the lineup. orb's gotta stay though.

good god, not another one of those parties.

[MAXIMUS MISCHIEF]

i stopped at 'where i and other ltm would sit'

 

no just no.

[mcbpete]

You're only being pissy because the bouncer turned you away at the door for wearing trainers. This isn't that kind of establishment I'm afraid .....

[Fred McGriff]

i stopped at 'where i and other ltm would sit'

 

no just no.

 

tongue in cheek max.

I've harboured this dream aswell, for a long time. So long in fact, that it's lack of coming into being has turned it into a stale and embittered shadow of the glory that it once was.

 

Whatever happens, i'd like to break bread and share liquors with you one day fredius.

i will have a jewel-encrusted chalice full of liquor waiting for you at this party.

[vamos scorcho]

one half hour DJ set: DJ Shadow

 

five hour rave: The Prodigy

 

no bass playing: Squarepusher

 

only electroacoustic works: Aphex Twin

 

headline: Fatboy Slim

[jules]

i would like to see the food spread at said party fred. the image of the ltm crew in the balcony like the old guys from the muppets is very amusing to me. they would all be passing negative judgements on the wonderful party below and everyone would be pissed at them but at the same time, people would be trying to sneak up through the velvet ropes that kaen is bouncing at.

 

musically, i would like to see different collaborations at the party. I would put all of the featured artist names on a big roulette wheel and each spin would indicate who has to jam with who next. i see sean and marcus jamming while the wheel spins. whatever groove they have going on, the next spin of the wheel relives the last person and they have to pick up the jam. this would create a giant constantly evolving blob of music with all kinds of different input. so sean and marcus have a jam going, marcus leaves and then jack dangers picks up and jams with booth. booth then leaves and braintree has to jam with dangers. dangers leaves and clark has to jam with braintree. and so on and so forth.

 

also, i would like to see a screen with all of the best watmm ms paints constantly rotating. i would hope the bar would also have bacon bloody maries at less than double the cost.
