Departure Lounge - listen | listen with RealPlayer First broadcast March 14, 2005 Started by New York club DJs John Hall and Adam Goldstone, and Perry Brandston --a sound technician who had long been involved with the post-punk art and club world-- The Departure Lounge was originally intended as a freeform outlet for partners' more purely creative record-spinning interests, without regard to such dance floor conventions as familiarity, stylistic consistency, or even danceability. The primary immediate objective of The Departure Lounge was to take what was usually considered back-room, background music (or completely unsuitable for play in any club at all) and place it squarely in the spotlight, and in your face. In short, the idea was to create an environment where it seemed entirely possible that one could, in the words of the club's motto, "hear every record ever made." The result was admittedly sometimes messy, cacophonous, self-indulgent, and even downright ludicrous, but never boring or predictable. Other features included the Public-Access Turntable, a record player set out in the middle of the room and patched into the DJ booth and main sound system for audience members to join in on (a handful of records whose labels had been removed to add the element of surprise); and Dueling DJs, in which two DJ booths were set up in the same room, allowing the main DJs and their guests to either jam with each other like a jazz band or duke it out sonically like pro wrestlers. |

Chill Mix: Pete Lawrence of The Big Chill Festival, UK - listen | listen with RealPlayer Over a decade ago Pete Lawrence and his partner Katrina had the profound thought to create an alternative event to the boom boom club music and instead feature all the great chill music. It started out in an old church where they threw down pillows and cushions to best enjoy the aural tapestry of chill tunes. It eventually developed into one of the premiere festivals taking place annually in the UK. The festival is different things to different people. In their words, "Some use it to see as many great live bands and DJs as they can. Some concentrate on the visual art. Some like to dance the weekend away in the Club Tent. Some people hang around their tents enjoying sunshine, barbeques and the company of friends old and new. Most people will do a bit everything, but the joy of it is that you can do whatever you like, and take in as much or as little as you want. These are the options..." The 2006 Big Chill Festival takes place at Eastnor Castle Deer Park, UK from August 4-6. For more info go to bigchill.net. |
