There's something that's been bugging me for a week or so now... n I can't for the life of me remember this: who was the resident on Saturday nights @ Grand Orbit? For the second half of the night it was Kazu Kamira, but who used to play 9-1? The name is on the tip of mah tongue... he moved on to Viva! in their really early days, before Darren Briais n Meegan took up their residencies.

/me slaps himself about a bit for forgetting something that once rocked his world

Sorry - false alarm - I have no idea

It's just the mention of Grand Orbit reminds me that one of the first Vibes on a Summer's Day was at G.O. Let me think....London Funk Allstars, and Jestofunk with Ce Ce Rogers to name but two. What a farkin huuuge day!

Sorry, Tim-e, for that slight diversion. Now back to the DJ at Grand Orbit. Um.....I have no idea.

it wasn't kesson was it?

how long has it been since THAT guy played?



i think my brain got bent on tuesday - bent or fried (heatstroke like) - or just tired

*yawn*

nope. sorry, d.

I'm getting names floating through my head, like Daniel or Darren or sumfin'

d'uh

Darren Emerson?

I wish it had been

DARREN BRIAIS YOU GOATS!!!!

ARGH!

YES! I REMEMBER EXACTLY COS HE WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAMN TALL N SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAMN GORGESOU N I USED TO HAVE TO DRINK LOTS N LOTS OF VODKA JUST SO I WOULDN"T MAKE N IDIOT OF MYSELF N TRY TO TALK TO HIM!!!

/me runs n jumps in the river.............

d

or was it Darren James????????

Darren Briais isn't that good looking...



The name isn't sitting right, though... it's a square peg being shoved at a round hole. Further research is required.

nuh uh - sorry guys - im pretty damn confident it was briais - n yeah - he was cute wayyyyyy back then *wink* (his brother still far out-cutes him even)..

or mebbe it was the vodka n lsd combo....

/me runs n shakes..

Darren James it was....as JG said.....

I actually caught up with Darren James (blast from the past ) in Noosa a couple of days after New Years. He has been living in Syd for the last 4yrs. Producing some origanal vocal house with Rob Milton. Formed a dance band with Pascal (percussion), a sax player and a bass player. Its a bit of a fusion of downtempo house, jazz, funk, Cafe Del Mar style house. They are called "The Martini Club".
If you ant to check them out they are playing at Ricks on Jan 19th.

wow - okay then

so - same darren james did that scream test show last year?

YAY!!!! I can sleep again! Darren James!

Thank you Justin...

do you guys remember the other Dj that played @Grand Orbit,, Master Lau????

yes. Can't say I remember much more than the name, though

Ric's on the 19th, huh? I recognise the name Pascal. I think he may have been doing some live percussion somewhere I went when I was last in Sydney.

Pascal is residing in Syd at the mo, he used to be the resident at The Rolling Rock in Noosa a few years ago. And you would have heard him at Sundance, I think he was doing some percussion for Troy Holland.

That was pascal? Cool... never actually clapped eyes on him.

I can vaguely remember Master Lau, didn't he play at one of the Strawberry Fields events as well?
I remember Darren James vividly, especially the time Judge Jules played trumpet over his set, and Darren used to get out the mic and yell a lot with mega expletives, so this time it was "Come on Brissy, make some fucken noise @!#$ yas, Judge Jules with a fucken trumpet!" There was plenty more silliness for all concerned that night
And for those who were thinking Darren Briais, he was in Perth at the time, though he may have guested at Grand Orbit.

I think he did, around the time of the dj beats comp CD release.

But with that portion of my memory being soaked in alcohol n god knows what else who knows what really happened?

yes! yes! yes! ohmygod! dj beats holy @!#$ ! ! !

yes - ha!

holy @!#$ - i remember goin to grand orbit one nite to see bexta n there were these two guys up dancin on the front of the stage n it wasn't for a few years after that i learned who those skinny lil fellas were....

*chuckle*

/me leans back n rocks her chair some more...

I think I have "I Feel It" on a cassingle somewhere here...

omg

*speechless*



i played a 'trax i rock to' set on the show i did on 2ser which had um... what was the track angus collaborated on on the 1st cd called - on it

*shiver*

Thirst.
