I know earthcore is a little different, but there's definetly love for the right breaks at those parties. Its just the kind of breaks eh

The market stage plays a variety of stuff that isn't psy, breaks included.

Love Rainbow but also love the idea of an ouutdoor breaksfest.

I've played RSF the last 3 years, so I'm not talking outta my ass.

1st year wasn't that much fun for me. A scheduling screw-up had everyone running an hour behind on the market stage and I had Rux shooting and mouthing the evil vibes my way during my set cuz he didn't believe me (I think). We were also booked during peak time on the main stage, so the only heads our way were our friends and those that were lost.

2nd year was a bit better, cuz we were all booked for the early part of the morning. Better vibe! But still not as good as camping with all my mates.

Earlier this year was my favorite Rainbow of all time. Barely made it on time for my set @ 6:30am or something like that (which was doubled due to a last minute cancellation) and the crowd was dope. Played all the atmospheric, techier bangers (from Forme to Plumps) to Aretha Franklin, Scissor Sisters, Ozomatli, Groove Armada & Les Rhymes Digitales. Even dropped Tone Loc. Cheese, if administered properly, can always work. The crowd at that time was probably tired of all the psy and just wanted to groove it out, but it's not like I was playing to 1,000 people like the main stage had.

I had a blast, but didn't get a chance to hang out with any of our mates. IMO The best part about RSF is camping with mates.

Sucks that they dont like MC's or dnb. I reckon if you guys do a beat flavored festival that would be dope. Build it and they will come. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Probably just me... but I think dubstep would not go over well at all at Rainbow. If d'n'b is a struggle, and even hard-breaks is a struggle - then slow-ass dubstep might prove difficult. But... prove me wrong!

Just not a fan of dubstep, as hard as I've tried (ie. try hard).

hard breaks is terrible. i think it would not work very well at all.

i am pretty sketchy on the dnb also but if the right tunes are played it will work. dubstep i think (by the time rainbow come we will have more to choose from!) will also work, its all the same speed. hell ive mixed dubstep and psy and minimal together.

D Nox would be awesome. Only seen him play once but I love his stuff, espec his production work with Beckers (who may or may not be able to bend it - more as it develops).

I don't understand why people are getting shirty about a lack of breaks an stuff at Rainbow... it's always been primarily a psy party, so why expect something else? This is prolly gonna sound bad and be taken the wrong way, but I think Rainbow needs to stay as an all-psy/ambient event. If you want variety, go to Earthcore, but Rainbow should remain "pure".

:musicracist:

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 11:19 am

I thought it was Psy and Prog??

If so breaks has a place, you just have to choose the breaks carefully.

I hate descriptions like this. So vague.

Breaks would go down well at a Psy event if you ask me. You would just have to select it well (as with everything), and most of the guys in Melbourne who play it have the record selection to work any crowd. Just got to be smart about it.

meh.

mix it up man.

for those of us who work the entire earthcore, rainbow is the only party of the year.
and if youve never liked trance, but loved the vibe and people at rainbow, then your saying to keep the music... 'pure shit'......(go on hit me heheh)

sundays at rainbow are my saving grace, when it gets funky and chunky and actually has some bass worth stomping to.,
not nessecarily devoted to soft/hard/melted breaks only. but a bit of chunk is not too much to ask IMO...

That's purely a personal take on it mate (and one you'll get a few arguments over - I for one, like it). If you read my post again, I did say I don't think it would work at Rainbow mate....

Asking them to mix it up is like going to a Hip Hop gig and asking them to play House.
